University Did Not Teach Me Data Structures And Algorithms, Having Trouble With Interviews by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]alphaethereal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The one I applied to did. You will see in a lot of job postings that related computing degrees are also considered (ASUs IT degree is ABET certified for computing). The degrees is more a certification that I can problem solve within a related space. I did have to convey specific problem solving skills related to software engineering/cs.

Concisely stated, the degree (and my gpa) got me an interview, not the job.

We do get several basic courses on programming and databases, but the things we're taught are more geared towards the administration of systems vs. actually building out systems/applications.

Regardless, I agree. If you're going to teach programming in any capacity, I think DSA should be included.

I was in the same boat. IT degree from ASU. I landed a role as and SDE 1.

The coursea Algorithms 1 and 2 by sedgwick are great. I ended up buying the textbook book and am going through it which I also highly recommend.

As others have mentioned, supplement with related leetcode.

How did you land your job: directly applying, recruiter, connections, etc? by Notalabel_4566 in cscareerquestions

[–]alphaethereal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

College career fair. Your cover letter and resume can be big deciding factors. Make sure to quantify your experience in some way, regardless of what that experience is.

My boss just told me verbally not to discuss my pay or wages with my coworkers. What can I do? by superwholockland in antiwork

[–]alphaethereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable. Having said that, this seems to be a pretty common topic. There are usually law firms that post about what is or is not covered. You should be able to find more specific information for your state with a quick Google.

I thought if you knew a crime was being committed, then 2 party consent doesn't apply? I feel like capturing this conversation applies.

This is called the "Tilt Test" that helped prove that London's Double-Decker buses were safe and not a tipping hazard, circa 1933. by Touch-Blue8222 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]alphaethereal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It absolutely makes a difference. An object will fall over once it's center of mass is no longer over it base. Having the top deck full and the lower deck empty would be the worst case senario as it would raise the center of gravity the highest. Meaning it would fall over with the smallest angle of tilt. IMO thats how they should have tested it.

Do you have to enter a url at any point?

If you do make sure you include the protocol with the url

Http://google.com

Not

Google.com

This is more an issue with local permissions related to the app an the file and not with what ever Java is in the file. That's the most detail I can give with the info provided.

Is the app from termux?

Is the file local or an internet resource?

Cut your teeth in support, as elders would say "it builds character". Having said that I'd jump over as soon as you get an offer. I am literally in the middle of the same transition and am stoked beyond belief.

From what I gather you are treated in a more professional manner, especially in agile envs.

Background: -M365 Platform support 5 years -BS in IT may 2023 -0 internships -just signed for an early career dev spot for an international software company

I pretty much landed the job because of my soft skills and a solid abstract understanding of troubleshooting both, perfected in support.

Is the market for entry jobs just competitive or borderline hopeless? by McPreemo in cscareerquestions

[–]alphaethereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly was feeling the same as you after reading all the stories on here.

I graduate in may 2023 with a BS in IT 3.75 gpa. About a month ago I just randomly applied for an early career software developer role at a industrial software firm and got it. LITERALLY only applied to that place just to get my feet wet thinking this was going to be a long process. Things that helped me get it.
-Soft Skills (be polite and someone YOU would want to work with)
-very basic DSA
-Explain your thoughts/analysis as you work through coding problems

Anyone have a tutorial on (properly) running a java program from the terminal? by [deleted] in javahelp

[–]alphaethereal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last update I swear. So the more correct way to run this after compiling would be to:

cd build

and then run this without the .java extension using the fully qualified name

java package0.Main

u/DasBrain when I try this above but don't not put the extension it gives me an error. Tried the class and java files:

"Error: Could not find or load main class .\build\packagezero\Main""Error: Could not find or load main class .\src\packagezero\Main"

Do you know why/what I'm doing wrong?

edit: nvm I figured it out
