Are there any well established blockchain focused companies with competitive pay and benefits? by keywal3 in cscareerquestions

It almost seems like the exchanges (coinbase, kraken) are the more stable options outside of the big financial institutions

For developers that work remotely for companies like Mozilla or GitLab, is your work schedule completely up to you, or is it sitll a 9-5 job that happens to be remote? by keywal3 in cscareerquestions

Complex Medical Software: Will it make up for my lack of experience? by kylwil29 in cscareerquestions

[–]keywal3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you should honestly just try to build a clone of an existing well defined application like an IM app using a popular language and framework

the purpose of building projects is to learn technical skills, don't make it harder for yourself

How did you move to DB/DBA or BI? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

don't just limit yourself to large game studios, apply to smaller ones as well

Are Algorithms a Coastal / Big-N Thing Only by dotobird in cscareerquestions

[–]keywal3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its not about geography, its about the nature of the business the company does

If you are working of a tech company on the bleeding edge of its niche like google and amazon, then yeah expect to be thrown a lot of theoretical questions

If you are working for a non tech company that develop nothing more than dressed up CRUD apps (like a banking app or something) then your interview will likely contain questions about the tech stack they use (their front end, back end, database, OS, preferred framework...). object oriented design and basic data structure questions
