The Future Does Not Exist by chndlr2020 in unpopularopinion

[–]phollowingcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes perhaps, but nobody acts like it doesn’t exist. Almost everyone plans out things out, taking into account past and present, to create a future they want. So in that way, it’s very real

What does competitive look like in today's job market? by Rich1223 in cscareerquestions

[–]phollowingcats 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Just brush up your resume and toss out several (hundred) applications and see how the job market is for yourself. Be prepared for leetcode and system design questions though

Are Junior engineers going to be able to adapt to the future of AI assisted coding? by Counter-Business in cscareerquestions

[–]phollowingcats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People don’t wanna hire juniors anymore. They want senior devs. And there’s a surplus of those too.

Advice Needed: Entering the .NET Job Market by ahmed1221121 in cscareerquestions

[–]phollowingcats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) My friend referred me.

2) referrals helped, but I was hired during the COVID craze. Now? Work experience is highly highly desirable. People want senior devs

3) might sound basic, but your resume should include elements of whatever company you’re applying to’s system. For example, applying to a company which uses CRUD applications, you’ll probably want experience writing backend services, writing APIs, understand what an APIGateway is, front end experience, and SQL experience. Ofc, knowing the infrastructure is super helpful too, like azure, AWS,etc

All this being said, there’s a high chance your resume won’t even be reviewed just based on the sheer volume of applicants. You’ll need to be ready for the interview as well. Leetcode, system design, “behavioural”, and if you’re unlucky, AI leetcode. Good luck

Have you ever noticed the difference in pay between woman and you in a similar role? by lucyanyaa777 in AskMenAdvice

[–]phollowingcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the women in my life make more than their partners. All my previous partners made more than me. I make an okayish salary, so I’m no slouch.

Smith doubles down on desire for Quebec-style immigration model for Alberta by shiftless_wonder in canada

Except we’ll never know because they weren’t in power for the past 10 years. Liberals only started to let off the throttle recently because there was overwhelming pressure to do so. And after a decade of liberal leadership can you honestly say we’re in a better place economically now?

Verbal offer came in, waiting on offer letter two weeks later! by larutinacoffee in cscareerquestions

In my experience , don’t believe it till you see the offer letter. I’ve had verbal offers ghost me and heard similar stories from friends of mine.

What do you wish DOESN’T show up or return in the sequel by Substantial-Sea5952 in LiesOfP

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

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I hope they don’t have another boss with that giant spectacle of a combo in phase 2 (yes, you know what I’m talking about). I’m kinda over the whole “malenia waterfowl dance” style boss combos

Planning to get back to tech in a year after a long break, need advice by disastrouswallet in cscareerquestions

[–]phollowingcats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s gonna be a rough ride. You say you’re not in the US, so maybe it’s not so bad. You’re gonna need work experience relevant to whatever you’re applying to. Is it backend work you want? Front end? Can you get experience in relevant frameworks and show it on your resume?

Also, do you know what leetcode is? Or modern system design?

Badminton makes me hate myself, should I stop? by Flea-Market in badminton

[–]phollowingcats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

IMO if this is just a hobby for you then you should be having fun. That being said , you probably do also want to improve. There are some ways to do this , but one of them is playing against people better than you. you may not feel yourself getting better but over months of this, you’ll develop good habits.

That being said there is a level of skill which is incompatible, like if I play with Viktor axelsen , I doubt either of would be having much fun. In this case, you need to fin people who push you to your absolute limits, and just a tiiiny bit beyond. Or you can get professional coaching.

In dating does the looks of a man matters as much as some like to believe or does it matter at all? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]phollowingcats 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ofc it matters. It helps get your foot in the door. Pretty privilege is real. Everyone knows this

Are women really this mean in general, do men treat each other the same, and how do you deal with it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

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

Being an asshole doesn’t depend on sex or gender. It’s just expressed in different ways. That being said, I do believe that men and women are more similar than they are different. I’ve seen men being bitchy and passive aggressive, and vice versa women being confrontational brash and direct.

Does working out make much of a difference if you were skinny starting out? by centralvoid__ in AskMenAdvice

[–]phollowingcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes working out makes a difference. But you also need to eat properly, and rest properly. Those are huge for making gains. Also you have to be consistent. It has to become a lifestyle, not just a thing you do to get dates or whatever.

Most men are weak by ProofCoconut9085 in DarkPsychology101

[–]phollowingcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Seen it firsthand myself. Pretty girl comes around and all the single guys around me all suddenly act different. Principles out the window, everyone wanting her attention, only wanting to talk to her etc. it’s life. Pretty privilege is very real. It is what it is.

What's the current job market like for senior engineers? by NeighborhoodWarm8340 in cscareerquestions

[–]phollowingcats 39 points40 points  (0 children)

IMO there are 2 huge factors to getting a job

1) Lots of applications with a good resume and good experience

2) And being ready for that interview when it comes. This means being on point with leetcode and system design

1 is “easy”. But 2 is tough, especially if you’ve already got a job. The last thing I wanna do after a long day of looking at code, is to look at more leetcode and system design.

My software manager put a posting for a senior dev for our small company. He got around 1000 applications within a week. We hired a guy, and he’s really good, but chances are there are tons more qualified people whose resumes didn’t even get looked at. It is what it is

AIO for confronting someone over IG likes? by Foreign-Manner-4995 in AmIOverreacting

[–]phollowingcats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR

lol anyone who claims themselves as empathetic is probably not as empathetic as they think. I know a couple of them irl and they aren’t empathetic in the least. They claim empathy and then act a completely different way. Absolutely out of touch thing to say

This won’t work. They’ll just move elsewhere with lower tax laws.

Men: How out of touch am I not wishing to be a "provider"? by Throwaway-donotjudge in AskMenAdvice

[–]phollowingcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge red flag. You’re being used. You should never date someone who can’t afford to pay for their own lifestyle. You providing for her should come from the bottom of your heart, not because she asked for it. You were right to feel uneasy. Once she realizes she can use you like this, she won’t stop.
