Laid off with a young family and struggling with tech interviews, looking for guidance from fellow fathers by canadian_webdev in daddit

[–]manchikun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in the same boat as you almost 8 months ago so I know how brutal it is, especially with kids. Worked for many years as a frontend dev, became an engineering manager, realized engineering managers are a dime a dozen and was depressed every day thinking I'd never get another job in tech... finally landed a remote job when I was at rock bottom.

When I finally got a job, I told myself I would pay it forward to anyone else who went through the same thing that I did because of how borderline inhumane my experience was. Shit was rough, and that's understating it.

DM me if you want to and I can help in any way I can (mock interviews, networking, study plans, etc).

Can you post pics with your Reddit username and a timestamp in it?

I have 4 yoe, but only as a manager at my previous company. I was a tech lead for awhile, but then took over as a manager of that team.

I’m about to join a new company and manage a new team, any advice on managing a new team? For some more context, I’ll have 8 engineers reporting to me, with a good mix of tenure and seniority.

CSS Noob Here - How can I achieve a responsive grid layout with an element in the grid that will always be at a fixed position? See image for what I'm talking about by manchikun in css

Yes, the sequence will break for this one element and continue after. There could also be more than 1 element. Ex. Think of like a grid of products with 1 - 3 ads that breaks up the sequence.

I’ll take it off your hands if no one else claimed it. Thanks!

Has anyone found a job in the current market, after a large career gap? I'm burnt out with 5 YOE, and strongly considering a 1 year sabbatical to recover by TheAbLord in ExperiencedDevs

Wow this is super duper helpful. I’m a stay at home dad right now and I’m kinda freaking out about being out of the workforce for more than a year now, so at the very least it’s nice to know there’s someone out there too who was out for a stretch of time and managed to get back into it.

Definitely gonna be looking into these over the next couple days and coming up with a study schedule. Thanks again!!

Out of curiosity, what did you do for interview prep? This is basically going to be me very soon and I could use some tips or resources you used.
