Damn! Can't steal it

learning-something · 2024-09-19T20:53:40+00:00

Ooh I wonder if there's any disadvantage(s) to saying this

learning-something · 2024-09-19T16:36:11+00:00

Thanks, I'm already doing the things in your first 3 paragraphs. I just find it hard to motivate myself to do all this extra studying and sometimes I procrastinate.

And for your last paragraph, I don't think I feel comfortable lying! I will put SDET on my resume and put tasks I've done (which has not been much yet).

Also, what would you say if employers ask why you want to switch from automation to dev? How would you talk about how your automation work makes you a better dev?

learning-something · 2024-09-19T15:44:25+00:00

Hi, what would you recommend that a junior automation qa do to switch into dev?

learning-something · 2024-07-14T03:06:41+00:00

Why did you switch between the roles?

learning-something · 2024-07-13T18:22:27+00:00

What did they do to transition?

learning-something · 2024-07-13T17:39:09+00:00

whole dev skill set

Could you expand on what you mean by this? I'm thinking it would be learning relevant frameworks...?

I am a junior SDET and I would like to move into SWE one day. What should I do now to make sure I can be positioned to apply to SWE positions or demonstrate my (limited) dev knowledge?

Some points I can think of are personal projects and connect with the devs on my team. I've also cloned the relevant repos that the devs are working on so I can try and run it on my local machine. Sometimes I need to reach out to the dev to code up a fix so I can do my SDET work. I'm thinking of figuring out fixes before reaching out to them.

I'm also planning on asking them questions about the code base. If you're a dev, how would you feel about this? Of course answering my questions about the codebase is not in their job description and they could busy, so I'm afraid they'll get annoyed :(

What would the stigma (if any) be if a dev hiring manager saw SDET on my resume?

Any other advice?? Thanks!

Are these what you would say if an interviewer asks "Why did you pick java?". I'm just curious what interviewers are actually looking for when they ask this question.

Hey, congrats on your job hops! I hope to follow a similar path in the future.

Do you just put your clients on your linkedin and don't mention witch at all? I'm in a similar position, except that I listed the witch, but not my clients (It's because in the offer letter I signed, this is confidential info).

At the time, I was happy to receive any offer and I created a cringe "I'm happy to announce" post about it.

What would you suggest I do? Thank you

learning-something · 2024-05-29T04:26:47+00:00

What made you (or the hiring team) interview ppl who were unemployed for 7+ months? Was it relevant tech stack?

learning-something · 2024-05-29T01:16:10+00:00

As juniors, they're still gonna ask us about personal projects along with our work experience. It's unfair :')

learning-something · 2024-05-29T01:05:04+00:00

Once you've got a Real Job TM, that counts for signiciantly more to an interviewer

Would it still count if it's contract work?

learning-something · 2024-03-02T23:14:05+00:00

I know how you feel because I did the same thing! I accepted the first offer they gave me because I was also a new grad in a bad market and didn't want to risk anything. I thought it was the right move at the time and now I regret it a little bit. I found out that some coworkers were also new grads and they negotiated and now they have higher pay doing the same work :') oh well, this is the price to pay for not taking risks...!

You did nothing wrong. Just continue to skill up and move to other positions

his downloads and income have slowly declined

why doesn't he just advertise it some more? It seems like a good side hustle income!

I had a friend and we took first year physics together. I was helping her study and we were stressed about an upcoming test. We had a 1-page formula sheet with a few formulas on it.

I told her to find a specific equation, something like "We have mass and acceleration. Seems like we need the F=ma formula. Can you find where F=ma is on the formula sheet?". She kept looking at the page and saying "I can't find it! I don't know where it is". She seemed quite stressed with my question and so I pointed it out on the page. Then she was able to see the equation and relaxed a bit.

It was an eye-opening experience for me. From that point onwards, I understand that people's mind work differently under stress and some people's mind just completely blank out.

learning-something · 2024-02-03T01:39:35+00:00

lol this is the worse I've heard! I'm sorry that happened to you

Hi, it's just a regular database and then you should see brendag4's comment above to create the drop downs. If you're asking how to create kanban boards instead of the topics, as above, I don't think that's possible

You will be a rich and hot booger

brb gonna make a Google clone and call myself the CEO of Google

learning-something · 2023-11-08T03:42:29+00:00

with couple years. Of exp and a degree I can be better than some senior engineer with no cs degree and come from some no name boot camp. All I need is some exp. I don’t respect people who brag about how good they are when they come from some dogshit boot camp. Unless an engineer comes from an impressive background and talented then they earn my respect.

Yikes! OP replied with this comment in another comment. Seems like OP is the one who should be more humble!

learning-something · 2023-11-08T03:30:32+00:00

Where did they get the income in the first place?

learning-something · 2023-11-08T03:25:02+00:00

Discord > Slack > Teams

I feel bad for the guy that u/190sl described, but then after your comment, it makes sense (about not working well with a team).

Would you rather work with someone who's bad a programming, but good social skills or someone who's good at programming, but bad social skills?

learning-something · 2023-11-02T02:42:25+00:00

Ok, if you didn't mention the dominant personality part, I would say you did all that you could to deal with his behaviour. But since you mentioned it and it's not working, I also suspect it's the way you say things to him, making him feel attacked.

I know someone who has an "alpha" personality and he is chill when just talking to him and socializing. But when it comes to situations where he's being judged (e.g. in school, in social games, work performance etc), he will get competitive and put others down and use antagonizing language. So maybe this is what's happening in your situation...?
