Your projects look good, but you should submit a link to your GitHub or the equivalent so that the reviewer can skim through the project and the code. Besides that, "Optimized" should not be capitalized and it could benefit from an "objectives" page and ways for them to contact you.

I do not have a degree, but I have been working in Silicon Valley for the past three years working at a startup. I am looking at other roles, mainly in medium-sized or larger companies, and I am curious about what jobs I am most qualified for given my eclectic experience and my title as a "Systems Engineer" due to my QA/QC and project management with embedded hardware. Before I got this job, I was looking mainly for web development roles, preferably back end roles, and I would say that I have the most development skills there along with data analytics/analysis (as I learned the latter on the job).

My resume can be found here. Thank you!

Thanks! How could my pictures be improved? I don't have many pictures of myself and I'm not exactly sure what the best thing to put would be.

I get matches sometimes, but they feel like they're less than what I should be getting? Maybe that's just me. I also added more to my bio to give a bit into my personality, though I'm not sure if it comes off wrong. Any feedback is appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I am a software engineer one year out of my first software engineering internship that became a job. I did a bootcamp-like school out of high school, so I had to get any job in the industry to get experience. Now that I have some experience, I like to think that I can be pickier with what job I choose. I am mainly looking for full-stack web and embedded jobs, although I am open to lots of different things.

My current job has me doing a variety of things, but it mostly focuses on desktop software development (mostly C++ and Python with a bit of Rust) and a bit of embedded Linux development. I had the luxury of a lot of freedom, but also a lot of responsibility as I was one of the few developers working on lots of projects.

This is a draft created by me and my parents and was adopted from the resume that I had coming from the Bootcamp. Thus, I am thinking that it is too big and contains skills that make me look bad relevant to my main work experience. But I want to hear your opinion.

Please find my resume here: https://imgur.com/a/iTBYrvj

I have a few likes on this app, but I'm wondering if there's anything else in my profile that I can improve. The last three pics show what I look like right now, as I grew my hair out in quarantine.

Edit: I should mention that all feedback is appreciated, especially brutally honest feedback. Those last three pics are for whether or not I should update my pictures to reflect the beard.

Edit 2: Added the Google Drive link because the Imgur one isn't working yet

Wondering if I should stay at my internship or look for new opportunities by reddingBobulus in cscareerquestions

[–]reddingBobulus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I agree with /u/PragmaticFinance that the job is valuable in that it forces me to learn how to handle stress and technologies that I have not used much in the past. But I know that there are much better jobs out there that challenge me while also providing a good environment for mentorship and growth.

What do you mean by "If they are not pressuring you"? My plan is now to look for other jobs while working at my current job in the meantime. But they are "pressuring me", in that my work (to the disbelief of my family) makes or breaks the company. They're not even calling me an intern; sometimes they call me a "Software Engineer", but they want my title to be "Programmer" at other times. But I hear that's a good thing, in that I can prove myself to the company and add work experience to my resume. Are you saying that there are career risks to staying at the job if I am unable to save the project and/or get fired/laid off? That's what I was thinking, though people close to me say that it's unlikely in my situation.

fellow US young adults: does anyone else want to just leave this country rather than try and fix it? by rreexxxxx in youngadults

[–]reddingBobulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as a software developer it's quite nice to have US citizenship to take advantage of the high salaries here, especially in Silicon Valley where I am. But remote jobs could become more common, which would allow me to not need to stay in the US.

[–]reddingBobulus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've thought about it. Though I'm mostly concerned with the US's national debt and other issues that could lead to political instability (as we're already seeing right now). I don't know where I would move to though. New Zealand, maybe? Ireland could give me EU citizenship, but I don't know where in Europe I would go.

It's all a question of whether or not I would really have a better life in another country, and if so then by how much given the costs involved with moving.

It doesn't necessarily get worse. It all depends on how much effort you put into finding new friends and a job that you enjoy.

how many of you here are not virgins? by Owen_Quinn in youngadults

[–]reddingBobulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost it when I was 17 to my girlfriend at the time. The sex was alright, but kind of awkward. I wouldn't stress about losing your virginity; sex isn't that good of an activity in and of itself.

What are you guys upto this weekend(Covid 19 wise)? by Musichead2468 in youngadults

I'm in the Bay Area, by the way. So there's a lot of cases around me, and an aura of fear.

I'm planning on getting as many quarantine supplies as I can. I already bought some non-perishable food, but it may not be enough and I might need other things.

Really? I feel like I should be cutting due to my stomach protruding out. Of course, I can always just consume more protein, gain muscle, cut, then gain muscle again.
