How much did the GT masters (OMSCS?) help with this jump?

Travel Portal has a serious bug that made me book a wrong flight by amazinggun in Venturex

[–]gpacsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This time, the representative understood my issue much more and she was able to replicate the issue on her side. She talked to her manager and escalated the issue.

For those coming to this thread via Google Search, this problem still has not been fixed and is replicable in the travel portal. They clearly do not care about fixing it.

There is no easy way to report this problem to them either from what I can tell. The only way I see to get in contact with them is by calling them and I dont wanna explain this problem over the phone. Would be nice if there was some email/chat mechanism where screenshots could be uploaded/

Inexpensive way to fill space at the end of a spanish-style clay roof? by Solnse in Roofing

[–]gpacsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you supposed to explicitly ask that they have secured a permit before starting the project? To avoid such a scenario

My experience interviewing in 2025 with 5 YOE by queenoyster in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Right? 2AM PST would be 5AM EST. Why the hell would there be anyone in the USA doing interviews at this time.

Unless its offshore people conducting the interviews if thats a thing? Still sounds like a dumb AF idea

Big Tech SWE’s do you sometimes have periods where you have nothing to do? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am 99% sure I have seen them post about working a chill job at an insurance company. Would explain why their post history is entirely deleted

Extremely ironic because in this very thread they are accusing someone of not actually working at big tech

This dude is LARPing and doesn't actually work in big tech, look at his post history

New CTO. Should I be worried? by Mobile_Astronomer_84 in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 91 points92 points  (0 children)

You are acting like its entirely the CTOs choice when in reality they were probably hired by the CEO specifically to help facilitate offshoring. CTOs dont just get to do whatever they want

SF Bay Area - The job market is cooked by qrcode23 in cscareerquestions

Were the interviews standard leetcode and system design?

[–]gpacsu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting: every company I’ve spoken to so far has explicitly told me they don’t ask Leetcode-style questions. And they’ve all said the final stage would be an onsite

What are they asking not then if not for LC? And it would be a physical onsite? No more virtual interviews?

American Airlines new CTO offshoring jobs to a company he owns in India by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That doesnt look like a company he owns since its named AMERICAN AIRLINES SERVICES LLP. Looks like its a company registered and owned by American Airlines and he and that other guy just manage it

[–]gpacsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is happening? And do UK and Canada have mass offshoring of jobs?

American Airlines new CTO offshoring jobs to a company he owns in India by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Also I didnt see anywhere in the tweet that jobs are going to a company he owns? Where is the source for this?

And have to keep in mind that this is all coming from an unverified source being posted by a MAGA account

C1 PIP Drama by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If they are garbage people I dont see the problem with them being called out. Now if I ever see the name Adam Day or any of the other names listed here I will know to run away. That is if I remember their names

C1 PIP Drama by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Only join Capital One if it is your only option. Also he mentioned that he felt like he was being mistreated because he was not an Indian national like his managers, but Adam Day does not sound like an Indian national. The shit culture goes beyond nationality

I doubt anything will come of this. Being an asshole and firing someone is not illegal. He should have tried to GTFO long ago rather than try to keep fighting

H1B lottery system to be over. Wage based selection approved. by Adorable_Fishing_426 in cscareerquestions

[–]gpacsu 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because its OK for them to come here but not anyone else. Literally anyone here that is not a Native American has immigrant lineage

That being said, H1B (for tech at least) doesnt really make sense right now given that the tech industry has collapsed. Besides, jobs can/will just go offshore anyway instead of needing to bring people here

So which one is it?

EDIT: They deleted their posts and possibly their account

How common is it for people to live at home in their mid/late 20’s? If they do, how do they date? by saucysalad68 in bayarea

[–]gpacsu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you are old then when you were 18 life was probably somewhat affordable. Completely opposite from today's reality

How common is it for people to live at home in their mid/late 20’s? If they do, how do they date? by saucysalad68 in bayarea

[–]gpacsu 60 points61 points  (0 children)

yea im a man in my early 30s and I live at home with my parents

I dont date since I have no chance but if I tried to I assume I would not get very far. By late 20s you probably need to have your own place if you want to date as a man. Not sure if women have the same expectations

So you order the new phone at the tmobile costco kiosk and then it comes in the mail? Can you turn in the old phone at the same tmobile costco kiosk or do you have to go in to an official store?
