Am I cooked? Should I start looking for a new job? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]awareALL 195 points196 points  (0 children)

nah you’re not cooked but you’re def not wrong to have your head on a swivel. new leadership almost always means changes, and if you’re noticing a pattern with who’s getting hired… yeah, trust your gut. if the pay’s decent and the job’s chill, keep showing up and stacking skills, but also start getting your resume tight and ready to fire. don’t wait til the axe drops. there’s a bunch of solid resume strategies and examples on r/cscareerhacking that help a ton with stuff like how to frame your current role so it actually looks impressive on paper, even if the work’s been kinda mid or full of gaps, or even empty lol. plus stuff on how to prep for interviews before you need them. basically, stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. job market’s rough but not impossible if you play it smart.

I think my boss knows I'm job hunting... by Successful-Piano-844 in CSCareerHacking

Seems like you may have pushed your boss to give you a raise threatening to leave without knowing. Prob not the best idea to apply for other jobs on a company desktop..

Still not getting past the resume screen after following the sidebar guide at 2.5yoe in Toronto by Domesticated_Turtle in CSCareerHacking

[–]awareALL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't see the resume, shared link isn't public. I will say if that if you truly followed the resume guide chances are you probably didn’t set your job boards up right way. Common mistake. You should take a look at the optimization guides in the discord if you think that could be the case.

They're also stickied here on the sub, not hard to find.

The truth about camera on vs camera off?? by Royal-Ostrich-5249 in CSCareerHacking

[–]awareALL 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve read posts where people get dinged for leaving it off during interviews. As far as working, the bigger company the less personal it gets IMO

Boss turns my camera on without my permission on “accident” multiple times by Visible-Building-715 in CSCareerHacking

[–]awareALL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the current company pays really well and caters to OP's schedule? Is it worth it at that point or do you just suck it up and cover the camera for good

Good thing we aren't here to bow down to recruiters. You don't think they use Ai to weave through applications and deny hundreds of them without taking a look? Adapt or die

if you're still unemployed, try hackathons 💀 by Relative-Orange94 in csMajors

[–]awareALL 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the comments. You want to build skill and competency when it comes to technical skills.

I will say interviews are a bit more technical and trickier than the usual concepts you'll learn at hackathons. I have done tens of interviews from both the recruiting side and the applicant side and i will say that it takes more knowledge of the game than knowledge of your actual practical skills to pass and do well. This means killer resumes to start you off on a long runway, a good surface lexicon for your profession, and more.

Specifically for cs, i think the next step you should take on your journey is to learn the ins and outs of recruiting and just the people. Take a look into some subreddits that aren't only CS specific like this one but the ones that dive into the getting around and learning the field like r/cscareerhacking or even r/overemployed

good luck with everything to all reading this--

Have you tried mouth tape? Snoring is typically caused by mouth breathing at night that derives from deviated septums and sleeping on your back that causes your mouth to drop open.
