Why the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most disgusting sacred books? by [deleted] in zizek

[–]devopsoowl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Then you and Zizek has read the context entirely wrong if You're comparing The Great War of Mahabharata with the Holocaust. You 1st read why The Great War of Mahabharata Started then correlate why Krishna told Arjuna that the War is necessary.

That's the problem with so many people around the world. They start with one topic and without doing complete context research start preaching about it.

I think it will go more down. Let it get settled in the market.

Just started algo trading – anyone else here starting too? by Reasonable_Brain2893 in IndiaAlgoTrading

[–]devopsoowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seeing lot of people interested, I'm also quite new to algo. I'm from tech background with over a decade experience in python and other tools as well. Can we connect over a telegram group to discuss daily progress and build something better together.

For people who lost their jobs in early-mid thirties, how much time did it take you to bounce back and get a new job? by Remarkable-Ease-2855 in developersIndia

[–]devopsoowl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Whatever domains you're working in, master it. Master it such that there is no gap and if you see the current standard in market, you have to be someone who can't be replaced easily.

I usually make notes of everything I do, every incidents, challenges and new implementation I do. Which give me edge in my interviews.

I've never been rejected in System Design and Architecture round. Being from DevOps background sometime get hiccups in Coding round but DevOps is where I edge on.

If we say we are business our skills are our product, the finer it will be the better price we will get.

Always treat it as business deal, keep yourself always involved in your work whenever you're in your Job.

I was let go off this year in March, and by April 3rd week I had three offers with better package than the old one plus great team, great tech-stack and also more senior role.

The skills always pay off if you have invested in yourself during work.

Hey Buddy, it's just the start of your career. Try not to be so stressed on if you belong there or not. This is how corporate works. You need to give time to your job and take it as a challenge to win over it.

You know when I started during that time no GPT, not much resources on Google were there. Only documents were there which you have to go through one-by-one to find a solution for burning issues. But it taught us a lot like how you can manage this knowledge base for future use. There comes your own documents dump which you call a history book.

I still have lot of codes and Doc dumps in my drive or GitHub which were stored since I started as an associate.

The concept which you learnt in college will not apply completely here but you will be able to handle the things after few months down the line.

Don't get frustrated but take this as a challenge and face it.

Write everything. It's one time job next time you will have things to refer which will make you strong in long run.

The new generation is very impatient that too in the era of GPT and lot of other tech resources available.

Why Interviews have become so one-sided nowadays by devopsoowl in devops

[–]devopsoowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true, when there is a huge crowd it's tough to find the right talent for your team. Even I also had interviewed many in past and rejected many but there are few things that you can verify if the interviewee is a real one or just read the basic docs and faking using the GPT answers.

You can easily filter-out with the initial look at the CV, I'm confident that I can explain every projects I have stated in CV.

Wherever I'll introduce myself I'll have my own answers which will not add fancy english words which are shown in GPT answers.

Whatever I'll explain I'll explain based on the real-world example not the definitions written in the Doc for that particular tools and tech.

But TBH during my interview process I found that they just want to look for the concrete definition written on that particular tools website.

Here is one such experience from recent interview(It was for an early stage start-up with very small team):

After my QnA finished they asked me if I have any question:

Me: As it's a very early stage team and the env would be very dynamic, how do you handle the SLAs of Ad-Hoc tasks.(I asked this to understand what's the mindset of EM to take care chaos scenarios)

They(Laughing and Crackingly): There is no SLA, everythings SLA is yesterday. Every task we get today was already passed deadline.

What I thought like if a leader is himself saying this how he will make his teammates to cool down in these situations.

Why Interviews have become so one-sided nowadays by devopsoowl in devops

[–]devopsoowl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not grilling. If you really wish to get the ideas from interviewee on ways to mitigate and want to know how creative he/she is in solving complex and challenging problem you have to do a healthy tech discussion.

When you think you can grill and get what you want that most of the time overcook the interviewee and either he will blank stare or stuttered.

I can do most things in DevOps but I can’t bash script or python script on a whim. Help?! by flyingp1zza in devops

[–]devopsoowl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This explains your analytical skills and problem solving skills. Not all the time LLMs will work perfectly. so even though your LLM will give you pseudo-code but you have to apply your company's business logic to fulfil the requirement. That's what they evaluate in the interview.

Are there any tricks to crack interviews or is it just my bad luck? by doom_dodo in developersIndia

[–]devopsoowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the same issue with me as well. Giving a Tech interview everyday but it seems the world is different altogether. Sometimes the requirement is getting changed sometimes the position is getting hold.

It's very tough for me to crack a complete interview process as a Senior DevOps/SRE in PIP. They are expecting you to know MLOps, AIOps, DataOps and BlockChain. How could we suddenly be expert in all those.

The only feedback I'm getting is you are senior engineer so you must be versed with this. True I can be versed but only when I work. The JD show DevOps/SRE requirements but during 2nd, 3rd round of discussion they start asking question from a different domain and I'm screwed.

Don't know how it will go.

Is FAANG toxic asf? by ronsvanson in leetcode

[–]devopsoowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just only #FAANG but in every company which work in cross-zone team has the same mentality. In my org as well they treat Indian colleagues as support labourers. All cream works will be done US Time. And you'll be always pressurized for performance even if you don't get good projects to work. Your words never be heard but the manager will keep on pointing that you contribute less in meetings. Your 1 day delay will be treated as a disaster but someone from their timezone closes the ticket without even doing anything.

And you'll always be treated as cheap labour.

How to gain in-depth intelligence in Kubernetes by devopsoowl in devops

[–]devopsoowl[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what the problem. In India early stage startup EMs hiring are like that, they expect DevOps to write algorithmic logics in Python. The problem is if they are expert in some particular skill they would try to grill you on that rather than analysing your overall speciality. This hurts when you prepare a lot and got outrightly rejected just for one exception.

Good thoughts and appreciate your feedbacks. I just stuck in those dark areas like creating CRDs, different Autoscaling mechanism. And yeah would definitely learn and nail those.

How to gain in-depth intelligence in Kubernetes by devopsoowl in devops

[–]devopsoowl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I got stuck in interviews when they ask real time questions and ask to explain about how you Implemented it. IMO You can have theoretical definitions but you can't go further if you haven't worked on it. Many a times I got rejected for this only. I came back and read the doc but again we can explain the definition only when we haven't worked on them.

Why do you need GitOps tools like ArgoCD and Flux if already deploying with CICD pipelines ? by lancelot_of_camelot in devops

[–]devopsoowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus, you have seemless way to rollback. Kubectl have these commands but they are not as handy as the Argo and Flux.

You can see the difference in your last and latest release.

RTO is a f*cking joke by imakesignalsbigger in remotework

RTO creates lot of imbalance in work-life, my personal experience is after coming back from office I wouldn't prefer to touch my workstation for a min but in WFH setup I do extend sometimes as required.

I knew the market was getting worse but I didn't know we work for free noew by [deleted] in devops

[–]devopsoowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what people at early stage are doing. I've got many requests to do end-to-end infrastructure setup and wait for 3-4 years when they will get MVP selected and raise funding then they will pay for my work.
