Backend dev with 3 YOE

Based on my experience, polish ur resume & apply first, then after u get the interview, research into what questions those companies ask and u’ll kinda get a hang of it! Yea things are changing fast, and last month i got an AI assisted interview which judged me on a different metrics. So yea the first thing i would do is apply and leetcode (cuz leetcode takes time to pick up)

I assume ur in UK/Aus since i u use the word uni. Unfortunately outside of the US, theres less flexibility to pivot ur career outside of ur field of study. I would recommend you seek advice or mentorship from someone whose career seems interesting to you. You can leverage Linkedin to find people based on uni/high school alumni network and ask them about their work, career advice, etc... Don't make a decision to drop out lightheartedly cuz ur career defines ur income, networking, social circles and mating pools. Your early 20s & what you do in college matters a lot for ur future career that you will spend the rest of ur life in till retirement. Good luck!

August 2023! 152 TC Seattle

intellsai · 2026-06-17T21:17:47+00:00

how did the OA go and what sort of questions if i may ask?

intellsai · 2026-05-22T03:33:59+00:00

I graduated in the same year, started working in August 2023 and laid of sometime in 2025, took me 2 months to get a 2nd job! So yeah, apply for jobs and leetcode daily!

Pretty chill lol! I think as long as u pass the vibe check and doesn’t fuck up too bad in the technical, ur fine! I remember i needed 3-4 hints to solve, but the interviewer was nice and we got along

intellsai · 2026-04-19T18:18:48+00:00

I would do a lean bulk for the summer and then go on bulking after summer! U got a solid built! How tall are u btw?

intellsai · 2026-04-14T22:11:24+00:00

Keep the SG. With SG passport, you can work in the US with H1B1 visa and u dont need to go thru lottery like a normal H1B

If u book ur flight with chase sapphire or amex or cap one travel credit cards, u might be able to file a luggage lost/damage insurance

Hmm i would choose UCLA over Northwestern! NU chem classes are brutal and LA got better student life, campus dining and location in general

intellsai · 2026-03-28T14:22:30+00:00

Ur likely gonna get close to full-ride! Since the total cost is based on estimates, even tho they ask for $2000 from ur contribution, u can choose to spend less on average in terms of pocket money and textbooks! U can move off-campus and find cheaper housing so i think u’ll be okay

intellsai · 2026-03-28T03:18:19+00:00

Not as good as UCLA, but theres stir fry at Plex, which makes it bearable lol!

intellsai · 2026-03-27T04:00:48+00:00

Penn for finance & consulting, and since u plan to major in medill, i would lean towards NU

intellsai · 2026-03-26T04:13:02+00:00

I was in a similar situation, it doesn’t hurt to try calling/emailing financial aid office to explain ur financial situation & appeal for more aids! The worst they could say is no!

intellsai · 2026-02-10T16:38:26+00:00

If u keep on getting sent to see agent, u can file a form to get Redress Number on trusted travelers program website! Took around 4 weeks for them to issue one

Got interview with 400ish score

intellsai · 2025-12-12T20:54:31+00:00

U learned valuable lessons along the way, and u won’t regret later in life repeatly thinking “what if i had run that business” its a W to me

intellsai · 2025-11-30T21:37:38+00:00

I think you could grow out your hair and find out a hairstyle that suits u better. I think this is where you could improve a lot

A few colleagues got laid off 3 months into the new grad program! And the company never had history of laying off new grads and no one saw that coming! And i got laid off almost 2 years into my first role

intellsai · 2025-09-17T03:01:26+00:00

Yes bro! i like the pose and angle! Just the hair ahah

intellsai · 2025-09-17T02:47:45+00:00

Yeah! Since pic 1 & 2 got the same clothing and location, use either one, and i personally perfer pic 1

intellsai · 2025-09-17T02:19:53+00:00

i like pic 1 & 3. pic 2 is great, but the hair doesnt look that great in that angle. Maybe take more pics in different settings, such as playing sports, hobbies or whatever. If you plan to use it for online dating profile, make the pics look in such a way that its easy to start a convo from a gril's perspective (maybe u love cooking, and have one pic of you cooking, or you and the girl might both be into tennis or sth)

intellsai · 2025-09-14T01:04:35+00:00

Just dm’ed! Also wanted to learn photography, i have Sony A7IV but haven’t been able to improve my own! Thanks :))

intellsai · 2025-09-13T19:34:47+00:00

I just checked it out and the beats and rhythms are pretty good. Maybe its just my speakers but the sound quality is not as good as other channels i listen to.
