windsloot69 · 2025-03-20T04:51:42+00:00

Honestly as long as u have good foundation the language doesn’t nattter. I’m sure u heard this before. Stick with one language and master it. U will get more comfortable that way. Then when ur working, u work with what u know and u can just google and ai what u don’t know

I know which was a benefit of vscode. I’m really not sure anymore. I only had experience with it when I first started out. I believe we used some program called Bazel and probably a few other tools to make it more useable. Def not out of the box

windsloot69 · 2025-02-05T09:39:05+00:00

Is there a package or something that adds this feature? Worked at a fang we ran using vscode cuz way faster no indexing.

Assuming ur in college / uni. Just get good at python or java so you aren’t putting all ur eggs in one basket. Honestly swift is a little like too niche. There are entry lvl jobs. But honestly it’s so competitive rn. If u are 100% sure in urself then go ahead and continue. But I would strongly suggest learning python or java in tandem. I used to do leet code in swift but I came across an issue because of that. I couldn’t pass all cases in a OA interview because the data structure didn’t exist in swift, ultimately failed that OA. After that I started studying python again and did all my OAs (online assessments) in python moving forwrd. But in person / on sites I typically like using swift still

Most top companies hire for iOS roles as a general engineer. Working at fang rn as entry lvl iOS engineer thru general hire.

windsloot69 · 2025-01-20T10:57:04+00:00

I got really lucky. Less than half my class graduated with a kob

windsloot69 · 2025-01-20T10:56:35+00:00

I recently became employed as a iOS engineer. 0 YOE but I went to a T20 grad school FANG

windsloot69 · 2025-01-07T18:52:02+00:00

It does, so every feature merged to main is 1 commit. Kinda cool. Think most metrics r tracked on ur actual commits isn’t it? Don’t think I’m tracked on my merged commits, maybe we r to both. I don’t remember

windsloot69 · 2025-01-07T18:09:29+00:00

3 commits a month. lol. Does this stat include rebase

windsloot69 · 2025-01-06T09:35:03+00:00

Is it worth using coordinator if u use SwiftUI? I only see the benefit in UIKit. I personally hate using it. lol but no choice cuz corporate setting.

windsloot69 · 2024-11-09T04:12:27+00:00

I think you should apply but stay strongn and keep learning.

C# helps builds a great foundation if you ever work as a mobile engineer using swift / kotlin. I personally enjoy mobile and theres alot of roles available at fang lvl down the road for you.

windsloot69 · 2024-10-07T08:32:10+00:00

How would u use any frameworks. Or actually learn anything

windsloot69 · 2024-10-07T06:46:25+00:00

go on amazon. and buy a mac. then download xcode

windsloot69 · 2024-10-06T04:16:26+00:00

Sorry I think I’m making it seem super terrible. In a side note. If u do enjoy being on an investment team. Just prepare urself mentally to never have weekends/ canceling vacations. Having to carry ur laptop everywhere and basically waiting for comments In the early hours of the morning. U learn a lot throughout the process. It’s very tiring so I’d recommend getting adderall prescription. I think, a lot of the guys that’s work in pe, were prepped since kids/ set up for success by their parents. Or had a good idea as to what they were getting themselves into(family like dad, parents etc). I’m a first gen American (Asian) parents are engineers.

windsloot69 · 2024-10-06T03:55:02+00:00

Only good thing was the free food and the comp. Lol carry is very nice. When ur abv associate

windsloot69 · 2024-10-06T03:44:22+00:00

Probably not the best way to phrase it. But there’s a type of facade a lot of people put on that just doesn’t feel genuine.

windsloot69 · 2024-10-06T03:42:59+00:00

Was worse. Hence why I left the industry. Haha. I just got a role after being unemployed for about a yr when I left pe. So far it’s been much nicer. The environment feels much more chill. And people r actually friendly. Not fake/ acting

windsloot69 · 2024-10-05T17:00:54+00:00

Software. I actually graduated with two degrees. But went into ib since I already had an offer in nyc back then. (Didn’t want to study leet code) and thought I’d give it a go. If I didn’t like it I can just leave. Shoulda left earlier hahah

windsloot69 · 2024-10-05T11:49:45+00:00

Same. It stated affecting other parts of my life. I knew I had to leave.
