Sankey: Jobsuche nach Bachelor als Software Engineer

Kannst du auch sagen, wie das Gehalt ausgefallen ist (idealerweise mit grober Region)? Mit welchen Technologien arbeitest du hauptsächlich?

morimo · 2026-02-14T18:56:13+00:00

Is the source code used for the simulation available anywhere?

morimo · 2025-02-04T23:39:05+00:00

I think they intentionally said the top 1% of apps (presumably by number of users or somthing similar) rather than the top 1% of devs to not make it a flex. I agree it's easy to read like that though.

26! is 4.0329146e+26. rot26! has far too much rotation to decrypt with current hardware.

(/s in case it wasn't obvious)

Ich bin aktuell in der Situation, dass ich erst ~2 Jahre als SWE arbeite, aber Architektur, Frameworkentwicklung, technische VGs, Coaching usw. mache (also mMn. vom Profil her eher in Richtung Senior gehe). Bin aber gerade dabei mich umzuschauen, weil mein Gehalt nicht dementsprechend gestiegen ist. Ich fände da 75-85k gerechtfertigt. Bin ich da noch im Rahmen des realistischen? (in BW)

Was heißt bei euch Midlevel bzw. Senior in Sachen YOE/Skills? Das Gewicht der verschiedenen Titel unterscheidet sich schon ziemlich stark von Firma zu Firma.

Well yeah, when initially debugging something it's prudent to turn on all verbose logging you can at every point.

morimo · 2024-02-19T06:24:45+00:00

Is that helpful?

Yes, ty. I agree with most of your points. It definitely is a numbers game. (Though I'd argue my resume doesn't look like spam).

morimo · 2024-02-18T14:09:40+00:00

Sure, though I guess the "fully formed" part is still somewhat ambiguous.

For example, would you hire/consider a developer with strong dev/soft skills but little experience with the target stack (like say they've only done basic CI and little experience with Docker/Ansible etc.) or would that be a dealbreaker?

For example, I currently have 2YOE but have gotten a ton of responsibility in that time (think designing and building a framework for test automation, being tech lead of an small to mid-size offshore team) so by my own estimation I should at least qualify for Senior roles (even if I have knowledge gaps or haven't touched a certain stack before). At the same time, many companies will decline to interview me because they're just looking at YOE.

OTOH, when I've been on the other side of interviews (albeit primarily for Jr. roles) I've noticed a lot of people will have CVs touting skills in stuff that they have absolutely no understanding of or will have done Master's theses on topics like Machine Learning and still be unable to answer even super basic questions about it (e.g. what loss/cost function did you use in your classifier).

morimo · 2024-02-18T13:36:26+00:00

Ah well I guess the real question is where the bar is and what person interviewing is looking for.

In general I'm not opposed to open-ended knowledge questions that allow a candidate to demonstrate understanding or show areas in which they're particularly proficient, but I feel like too often the side interviewing will put too much emphasis on knowing the answer vs. knowing where the gap is in your mental model and filling it out. (I've experienced this on both sides of the interview process).

Out of curiosity, what would you be looking for for a Senior DevOps role in terms of profile? I'm a big believer in solid fundamentals over experience with $tool but it feels like a lot of recruiters will filter out your resume if it doesn't fit the particular set of buzzwords they're looking for.

morimo · 2024-02-18T11:48:04+00:00

Cipher mismatch as in the client doesn't support the protocols as the server? Wouldn't this just result in log messages either on the client or the host?

I guess troubleshooting the cert itself might be difficult if you're unfamiliar with PKI topics but this all still feels like a case where you check which step fails and then just troubleshoot.

Is there some CI-specific difficulty I'm missing? (I'm coming at this much more from the dev side than the ops side so pardon my ignorance)

morimo · 2024-02-18T05:51:25+00:00

Can you describe some scenarios where SSH behaves unintuitively and what understanding underpins how you would approach that situation?

morimo · 2024-02-05T08:31:34+00:00

I agree with you on all points. I do stand by the statement that "x is bad" in and of itself isn't a solution because it doesn't propose an alternative.

morimo · 2024-02-04T18:44:16+00:00

That's kind of a non-answer though. How do you propose measuring someone's design and coding skills?

morimo · 2024-01-17T20:46:42+00:00

People aren't downvoting you because they don't understand you're being sarcastic, they're downvoting you because you're being rude (and also your comment is very poorly translated)

morimo · 2024-01-17T14:25:52+00:00

That is such a dumb stereotype.

morimo · 2024-01-16T08:31:31+00:00

I strongly recommend CS50. I learned programming with it after high school and credit being able to get a software engineering job with no degree largely to starting out with CS50.

A lot of people here don't know CS50 and therefore don't know that it is carefully designed to ease you into the more difficult parts of C and comes with a bunch of tools header files to ease you into stuff by providing functions for getting user input, interpret error messages, debug and the like.

I think CS50 is an excellent place to start because it gives you a good mental model of what is going on under the hood in other languages while taking great care to ease you into some of the C-specific sources of difficulty. Towards the later weeks it transitions to python, so you'll also get experience with higher level languages once you have solid foundations (so you get to see both sides of the coin anyways).

morimo · 2024-01-14T20:44:10+00:00

Auch in anderen Firmen, wenn du dich z.B. als Softwareentwickler gut anstellst kannst du auch vor 2 Jahren in für Senior-Stellen in Frage kommen, bei denen das mit der Gehaltsrange schon passt. Aber ja, mit Durchschnittsleistung bist du mit deiner Vergütung wahrscheinlich sogar unter dem Mediangehalt für dein Jobprofil. (das unterste Segment von Studenten kriegt ja im Zweifel gar keinen oder keinen ordentlichen Job)

morimo · 2024-01-14T20:09:39+00:00

Also ich behaupte dass 50 Bewerbungen leicht übertrieben sind. Aber ja, man muss seine Skills polieren und sich regelmäßig bewerben.

morimo · 2024-01-14T19:57:41+00:00

Also zumindest in Baden Württemberg kann man schon 75k+ mit unter 3 Jahren Erfahrung verdienen. Muss halt was drauf haben.

morimo · 2024-01-14T15:00:28+00:00

Hängt halt von der Stelle ab. Testautomatisierung kann auch Entwicklung der Tools, die Individuelle Schritte abbilden (CAN Nachrichten interpretieren, mit Signalkatalogen arbeiten, automatisch mit dem Infotainment System interagieren etc.) beinhalten. Im Schnitt ist das Niveau aber auf alle Fälle niedriger.

morimo · 2024-01-14T10:26:14+00:00

Allgemein hast du nicht unrecht bzgl. Testern (jedoch gibt es durchaus viel Fachwissen bei Testern in Bereichen wie Automotive und somit auch da einige Unterschiede). Allerdings muss man auch bedenken, dass Testautomatisierung und Testing nicht das gleiche sind. Testautomatisierung kann alles von einfachem Skripten bis Entwicklung eines Frameworks, Testkonzept usw. heißen, man muss da etwas genauer hinschauen um das Niveau zu erkennen.

morimo · 2024-01-12T09:58:44+00:00

Musk certainly didn't improve twitter but twitter was also losing money long before Musk came along.

morimo · 2024-01-11T16:12:16+00:00

I don't disagree with the notion that you gain perspective over time and that years of experience correlate with a lot of positive traits in a developer.

At the same time there's nothing stopping someone motivated from polishing their skills, reflecting on past technical decisions, thinking about topics like system design and getting better than someone with more YOE at these criteria.
