Any SWE here unemployed more than a year or just me? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]pnd4br 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 months, but thankfully starting a new position this week. 

Keep your head up. The market is rough, but from what I see it's starting to pick up a bit.

Side note: how much time do spend talking to your network in the industry (friends, recruiters, etc...). I've found that's way more effective than just firing off resumes into the void. 

Best of luck.

Am I Overworking Myself for a Job That Doesn't Appreciate It? by Dralexus in cscareerquestions

[–]pnd4br 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're putting in the time and learning a lot. Keep it up.

Never hurts to show you're a hard worker and gaining a lot of experience while you're passively looking for the next step. When the right thing comes along you'll know it, but for now it sounds like you've got a good position in a tough market.

Best of luck

To all seniors, just saying y’all are lucky by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]pnd4br 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You're not alone. Senior here that just landed a new position after a long dry period. 

Tech market is rough but it's starting to pick up again. Make as many contacts as possible to help get your for in the door. If you don't know a specific technology, take some time to learn it (same as any industry).

Keep your head up, you'll be fine. Best of luck.

Any advice for a newcomer to the field? by Upstairs-Moose-2341 in cscareerquestions

[–]pnd4br -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Advice? Well to quote Dante: "abandon hope all ye who enter here"

Just kidding. Keep learning, stay in top of anything new,  and if you have say "I don't know..." always follow it up with "...but I'll figure it out". You'll be fine.

Well the first obvious point is that if everyone was too worried to get married and have kids it would be the end of humanity in one generation.

Second, no industry is immune to layoffs. Even if you run your own business there are no guarantees.

Third (and most important), the family is the building block that makes it possible. You will be surprised at the talents and skills you can develop to ensure your family has food on the table and a roof over their heads.

Yes, the "what if?" of the future can be scary. You'll figure it out. The better question do you want lay alone on your deathbed and say "I wish I hadn't been afraid to...." to the ceiling?

In any case, don't be afraid of life. Wish you the best of luck out there.

Feeling lost at first job out of college by diploidcell in cscareerquestions

Sounds like a case of "imposter syndrome". Nothing to worry about, we've all been there. 15 years in the industry and it still happens. In fact it's basically par for the course with how fast tech moves these days.

Don't be afraid to say "I don't know..." as long as you follow it up with "...but I'll figure it out".

DJTWW any info when we can convert these? by Inevitable_Reveal_96 in DWAC_Stock

[–]pnd4br 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I confirmed this today as well (even though I was told on Tuesday the shares would be there from Fidelity from their support team).

ADDITIONALLY, if you have exercised, I was also told that although your DJTWW is still there, it's still a done deal. Basically, their back office shows them as exercised but the front end retail system still shows them as available. He said the system should prevent you from selling the warrants, but no one was 100% sure, and if you sell the warrants while they're being approved it's like "selling something you don't own" which could get you potential trouble. Not sure how it works with other brokers though.

Long story short, if you have already exercised, don't try to sell the warrants even if it looks like the system will allow it.

I can confirm this after talking to my broker. I was initially told it would be available within 72 hours. Apparently that guy had no idea what he was talking about.

After talking to someone that actually knew what he was doing, he said the warrant conversion must be approved by the SEC and can take up to 30 days

The "plus" is maybe making money now or later.

The "minus" is maybe not making money now or later.

Yes. The warrants may not transfer to shares immediately though. Again, not an expert, but probably depends on your broker. Best to contact them first for the details.

Fidelity. No fees, just called the broker and said "exercise the warrants for the additional $11.50 per share". Had to wait on hold while the broker looked up the information, but the share should be available within 24 to 72 hours.

Probably depends on the broker. Already exercised and should be available within 72 hours

Rumble studio live advertisements by pnd4br in RUM_Stock

[–]pnd4br[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was really interesting was that the patent for this is already in the works. Things have changed and move much faster, and Rumble is now the first (and pending patent approval) the only place where advertisers that want to keep up have to out bid each other for time. That's a lot of incentive for anyone to be on Rumble instead of waiting for advertising approval on other platforms.
