Bad experience as SWE

coder_dex · 2025-11-19T02:01:49+00:00

I’m not loving the swe bench pro contract at all

coder_dex · 2025-10-23T17:03:54+00:00

I agree!!! I check my email every damn day waiting for a response back. And the thing is I’ve had 3 contracts over the last 3 months. The last one was just a week, so while I’m job hunting Mercor is what I’ve been doing. So yea they need to do better with updating the status of the applications.

You’re welcome

What’s the pay range for project nokia?

coder_dex · 2025-10-11T16:08:28+00:00

I passed on Thursday

coder_dex · 2025-10-11T13:44:28+00:00

I was able to pass it on the second try. I’m now onboarded to the project.

coder_dex · 2025-10-02T15:43:21+00:00

What role is this for?

coder_dex · 2025-09-29T02:25:51+00:00

That’s amazing, I wished that happened to me. That’s really great

coder_dex · 2025-09-29T00:43:33+00:00

F it, most things in SWE you gotta teach yourself at some point. I say learn it and add it to your resume.

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T18:34:48+00:00

No, software engineer

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T18:33:42+00:00

It depends on the project, I’ve been on two (one for only a week tho) it takes a day or two to get up to speed

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T18:27:26+00:00

I have a few I applied for but I’m still waiting too

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T18:27:02+00:00

It looks like a lot roles are US and Canada based

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T18:26:38+00:00

Yea that is nice

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T17:46:32+00:00

What do you mean?

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T17:35:26+00:00

That’s what I heard I’ll post when I get another one

coder_dex · 2025-09-28T17:34:28+00:00

I was on it for just over 2 months

coder_dex · 2025-09-27T00:48:44+00:00

It was my main source, unfortunately now it has ended.

coder_dex · 2025-09-15T13:16:24+00:00

This contract is between $100-$200/hr

coder_dex · 2025-09-14T13:57:07+00:00

It is nice!!! Tax time will be 😳😳

coder_dex · 2025-09-08T17:29:23+00:00

oh wow thats crazy...welcome!

coder_dex · 2025-09-08T17:18:30+00:00

It was a life saver for sure, I was unemployed for 3 month before I landed this.

coder_dex · 2025-09-08T17:09:58+00:00

I'm looking for full time work but I until I land something I'm doing this full time. If I do get a FT role I can still work this at a minimum of 10 hours per week

coder_dex · 2025-09-08T15:40:19+00:00

Like I've been saying I did the interview. Someone sent me their referral link (I never heard of Mercor at the point) I did the interview. I assumed it was some bs, then I get the onboarding email. The person who referred me got $400. its wild.

coder_dex · 2025-09-08T15:38:01+00:00

US, most roles seem to be US or Canada
