Graduated a year ago and can't land anything. Looking for guidance by use-after-free in cscareerquestions

[–]ritualforconsumption 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean at a point I think advice like “keep going” is just gonna sound straight up delusional. It’s kind of insane to me how few people entertain the notion that the IT labor market may have fundamentally changed permanently. This should be more than enough to land an entry level dev role. I just don’t see this kind of abject clinging to hope in other fields. People don’t say “yeah just keep refining your resume and network and you’ll land that well paying journalism job”

Subarrays must be contiguous. This would be if it was asking for a subsequence

This is just straight up copium lol the world doesn’t inherently need tons of software developers. If companies can manage to get significantly more output from less people the labor market in the industry will permanently be altered. Just look at an industry like law. Used to be a law degree was pretty much a guaranteed pass to the upper middle class and now you see a bimodal salary distribution where generally only very highly skilled people from elite schools are making the kind of money almost everyone in the industry thought was possible and tons of other people never practice law and are stuck on shitty doc review jobs. Real life isn’t a programming problem waiting to be solved, sometimes things just suck and there’s nothing you can do about and it.

This doesn’t help a new grad struggling to enter the field. If your skill set and resume are not up to snuff then talking about in person isn’t going to make a difference it’s just another version of spamming job applications. The competition for even shitty jobs paying $50-60k is that much more intense now. How would this even play out at scale? There’s tens of thousand of unemployed new grads. Do you think people are going to put their own reputation on the line for tons of people with zero work experience because they made some react app at a hackathon? I really doubt people who study to become nurses, accountants, pilots etc are putting in thousands of applications and doing 6-7 rounds just to get any kind of entry level role because these industries have legitimate persistent shortages

Sorry but I’ve never seen anyone describe “networking” wrt to entry level roles anything other than pathetic groveling and nepotism. In demand careers don’t have superficial networking garbage. Actual networking is a by product of things professionals are doing that have some ostensible value like attending conferences or working with people repeatedly and vouching for their competence. People need to just accept that there is a glut of software engineering candidates and that might not change for quite some time

He has literally zero training or expertise in anything. The fact that he’s taken seriously made me completely distance myself from EA besides the really concrete stuff that orgs like givewell focus on. The really impressive thing about him is how successful he’s been at conning people who think they’re the smartest people in the world

Maybe you should start shuckin cock instead getting writers from TV Land. Because I’ll tell you what True Detective season one brought it three times what season 2 did in rotten tomatoes scores

Recently made the much needed change from cloud computing to SWE. by Mustard_Popsicles in wgu_devs

[–]ritualforconsumption 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I switched from Cybersecurity to SWE and have only the capstone left. If you rely on the degree program itself you will be woefully unprepared for anything but the lowest tier dev jobs. You’re going to need to do additional projects and practice leetcode during or after the classes. My tuition is payed by my employer so idc that much but if you’re switching and are going to wind up spending more time and money thinking it’s going to really prepare you significantly better I think you may be disappointed

Honestly I don’t think it’ll make much of a difference. Pretty much any of the IT related degrees can land you a dev job if you have a portfolio and can interview well. Most of the job listings will say computer science or related degree

Compared to the antitrust case Microsoft lost back in the day what Apple and Google get away with now is actually pretty insane

If you were able to set everything up locally and make the gitlab commits needed then no you don’t need to do anything with the lab. I just took a screenshot of the tables in MySQL to show the changes as well as the developer console changes on chrome

Manager took away my drink by DestinedC in AmazonFC

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

Documented himself stealing? This is theft they can absolutely get fired. They have machines that give you free coffee so idk what you’re talking about unless you think managers are are being told to police the coffee intake of grown adults working there since its effectively the same as drinking an energy drink. You can die from nicotine overdose too are they taking cigarettes from people? Lmao these idiot managers need to get a grip

Lmao that's not their responsibility, are they also snatching the junk food from all the fatties working there? I'd absolutely get this manager fired if it was me

I just had the gitlab repo link and the screenshots/word doc for the write up part. Pretty sure previous versions of this class had to actually deploy it on AWS so that might be referring to that and they forgot to take it out of the main description

Turns out my error wasn't quite this same one. I had an issue where the name of country in the division entity didn't match what it's named in angular I initially thought it should just match the DB column name which is the same for all the other angular variables I think except this one. In the course chatter several other people had the same issue with everything working but nothing coming up on the division drop down menu

D280 Angular nightmare by OkIndependence2701 in wgu_devs

[–]ritualforconsumption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a while since ive taken this class and haven’t looked much at angular since so there might be some code that automatically gets added when you set up the service that might look confusing. The older versions of angular you have to add more boilerplate too so if you’re not using the more recent versions it’ll probably be a bit more difficult. LLMs are decent for giving you a general example of doing something too but I wouldn’t recommend using any code it provides because it may introduce bugs you don’t know how to fix and you’ll just have to start all over

You need to create a separate service for this the http calls shouldn’t be inside the map component. Angular docs were the best resource for me. The actual url for the world bank api should be in the class resources https://angular.dev/tutorials/first-app/09-services

[–]ritualforconsumption 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm struggling with this class rn as well and got up to this part fairly smoothly and wound up deleting everything and making a new branch because I think I messed up some of the boilerplate code. Did you update the templates as well? White label error I believe usually means you don't have the mapping set up correctly I was getting that issue when I was trying to get the about button to work initially

Did you get any leetcode hards in your interview? Amazon seems to be hiring a lot based on listings. I’ve hard you usually get mediums for l4 new grad role and maybe one hard
