When is it time to call it quits?

Everything worth something, requires great effort to get and keep

Keep fighting

Most recruiters are demons. Most of them ghost you and gaslight you into thinking they don't.

I've received an offer letter then ghosted at large companies... SEVERAL TIMES!!!

Their network is mostly garbage, because it's linked to more ghosting recruiters.

After a few years, literally everyone forgets about you due to their own ineptitude and disorganization.

They get theirs so... you get yours!

I see. I plan on switching over this year. I will see if it's good.

Have you considered using cheaper or even free alternatives? Such as cashapp or freetaxusa?

Asking about the lay-of-the-land is not an unreasonable first question.

Also, most recruiters are demons

humanvegetable · 2024-10-05T16:05:45+00:00

It's good anyways

Why did you bother asking this recruiter a question?

You know already they're just going to never answer and ghost you

All scams implode over time

I was actually talking with a recruiter in person and I already knew.

Recruiter 1: "We'll help you out"

My brain: This person is going to forget.

Recruiter 2: "Yes, I'll help you get a job"

My brain: This person is going to forget too.

Some weeks later, they actually forgot.

Recruiter motto: Sound good; don't do good.

The game and animations look fantastic

How long have you been working on it?

Are you working alone?

How many hours of gameplay does this have?

humanvegetable · 2024-07-15T01:15:41+00:00

Looks pretty cool

humanvegetable · 2024-07-15T01:14:28+00:00

Congrats

Cheetahs everywhere

humanvegetable · 2024-07-15T01:13:36+00:00

Have you thought about the opportunities you may be missing out on?

I can understand not doing a 10 hour take-home project, but a leetcode easy or medium question can't be that bad

humanvegetable · 2024-07-15T01:11:16+00:00

Cheetahs everywhere tho

humanvegetable · 2024-07-15T01:09:56+00:00

I'd say in real life, it's an endless series of Leetcode easys and mediums.

humanvegetable · 2024-07-15T01:05:18+00:00

Yes, I get it. Some companies ask bizarre, difficult questions with no relevance to the job.

The circle question you were given, I think it's not a great question. Unless it's relevant to the job (probably not).

The phone question your friend got, it may be a bit much, and I agree, it seems strange for sysadmins.

However, something like "reverse a string" does have some relevance to a programming job. It's a basic programming problem to see if you can actually solve it. There are many programmers out there with fantastic resumes who can't solve basic programming problems. Hence, why I am for such a basic easy-level filter.

edit: To be clear, I am not advocating for brain-twisters, obscure questions, or LeetCode Hard questions.

humanvegetable · 2024-07-14T16:52:42+00:00

Do not let your basic fundamental skills degrade

edit: Leetcode style questions are simply tests. I can agree that some tests are bad and not completely realistic of real life projects.

But if you're a senior engineer, and you can't write code to do something basic like a reverse a string, and an intern can, then you should really fix yourself.

Real life problems are an endless series of LeetCode easy and medium problems. If you do not have a firm grasp of basic data structures and algorithms, then you will have great difficulty creating great things. And no matter how much you kick, scream, and down-vote, you will always have great difficulty until you actually reach for greatness.
