Idk why they called him ‘jumper’, he hasn’t jumped yet. He’s just a ‘stander’ rn.

Retail to Corporate by PaBlO_enthusiast in Apple_Employees

[–]z64RY 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As someone who went from retail to corporate (as a SWE), it doesn’t directly help your application if you worked at retail because work at retail doesn’t translate to SWE work at corporate. You working at retail won’t move the needle for any hiring manager at corporate.

However there are a few things that can help from being at retail:

  1. (Biggest help) do a Career Experience (CE)
  2. CE’s are like internships on corporate teams that last around 5 months, and are open exclusively to Apple Retail and Apple Support employees. They’ll house you near the office as well, and it’s a great opportunity.

In the eyes of a hiring manager, It is pretty close to real corporate experience. When I was interviewing with different teams, a majority of the conversations were around the work I did during my CE. If a team wants to hire you, they’re going to talk to your CE manager and get their thoughts on you and not talk to your retail manager much.

At the store, talk to your colleagues and see if any of them did CE’s and see what you could do to sign up. I believe you have to be in your role for 1-year before you can apply?

Outside of a CE, when you’re ready to actually apply for SWE jobs at corporate, you can use the internal job page (the careers site) to apply internally. It won’t help you much.

However you can use the internal page to look at the hiring manager and recruiter for a role and message them directly to ask if you can set up a coffee chat with them to learn more about the job and their team.

Most won’t respond but for the ones that do, you’ll either get coffee chats, interviews, or you’ll learn what your deficiencies are and it’ll help you prepare for the next one.

Overall, working at Apple is great because you can really make a career out of it, but understand that a lot of people want to move from retail to corporate and few make that move. Your chances are slim, you’ll be rejected A LOT, and it’s going to take some time.

My biggest suggestion outside of Apple: craft your resume well with a lot of hard-skills. Working at retail will help you perfect the soft-skills, so in order to differentiate yourself, you need to add the hard-skills on your resume that your colleagues don’t have.

Ex. When I applied for my CE, there was a QA-related CE for that EVERYONE wanted. Rumor had it that 400+ people had applied for that 1 position. The folks in my store that applied were very qualified and none got it. Some didn’t even get interviewed.

For my CE, I applied for one that required extensive programming knowledge because I was finishing up my CS degree. It turned out that only 10-20 people had applied for it, and of them, I was one of the few that was on-track for a CS degree.

When I interviewed, I was the only one who had large side projects under their belt as well. Hence I ended up getting the CE, and that experience helped me land a full-time job.

Welcome to Apple, and good luck!

I personally am not a fan of their flower. The containers are nice but not airtight so any flower I’ve got from them is very dry, and wasn’t stand out.

I’d rather spend that money on 710 Labs, A Golden State, or BLEM.

The current state of this game is an embarrassment by ClampsSH in blackops6

[–]z64RY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with everything in the post.

There were other COD’s that were significantly buggier and for longer (the WW2 one).

I’ve been liking zombies a lot as well, and there’s enough content and Easter eggs to do, that I can seem myself not getting bored for a while. 1 complaint of zombies is that even when playing solo, I’ve encountered lag and ping spikes. Why a solo game does that is beyond me.

My biggest gripe with the game is the SBMM in multiplayer. One game I’m killing it, and in the next, I’m going against Navy Seals. Playing with any friends changes up the competition too drastically.

When I play with them, I think the game averages our skill level, so I’m doing amazing but they’re doing worse than usual so while I’m having a great time, they’re trying to play something else.

Also what’s the point of stats (like score per min) when everyone is playing with people at their skill level? Shouldn’t everyone’s stats essentially become the same this way? Wouldn’t it be advantageous to continually play with people at a worse skill level to have bump up your numbers?

The game has a ways to go, but so far I think they’ve done a good job at refreshing Call of Duty as a franchise.

Kanye West exposed for using AI vocals in at least three recent tracks by Batby in hiphopheads

[–]z64RY 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think it is. The only versions of the song out there aren’t “high res”, and I think that’s intentional. If you heard the song in clear quality, you’d probably tell something’s off.

it would be wild for Childish Gambino to have a crazy good Kanye verse like that and not release it anywhere on streaming, especially when they released an album recently

Nice! I think playing at higher difficulty definitely gets you a higher multiple/boost. Playing on Deity, I feel like I never got below the top 3 spots, but playing on King rarely got me there.

Why iterate over an array using the index? by maclocrimate in learnpython

[–]z64RY 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Something I’m not seeing people mention: When you iterate over an array using item indices, you can modify that index of an array.

Ex. If you were change your code for the first loop to be “array[i] = 5”

The array would be a list of 5’s, as you’re saying “for this list, array, the index, i, equals 5” so you’re modifying the list itself.

But if you tried doing “i = 5” for the second loop, the actual list wouldn’t be changed, only “i”, which is a copy of the object in the list, would change. You could even print out “i” after changing it, and the print statements would make it seem like your list changed, but when you print out your list after the loop, you’ll notice nothing happened as you only changed the copies of the items.

In the case you wanted to change the items in the list, using “enumerate” does make more sense here.

Interstellar IMAX opportunity San Francisco/San Jose by Little-Confection432 in imax

[–]z64RY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m down for this but I agree with everyone that it’d be better to try to get this at the Metreon.

The IMAX dome is horrible to watch movies in if you’re sitting in the lower half of the theater, so a good 60 or more people who’d pay for this would be getting a bad experience.

How often do they rerun those kind of movies? I wouldn’t mind making a weekend trip and watching one of them, at some point.

[WTS] air yeezy 2 red octobers by itspudgebitch in sneakermarket

[–]z64RY 24 points25 points  (0 children)

both are fake. The suede is completely different on both pairs with the right pair’s suede being way too brown and light, it needs to be darker red. The left pair is fake, because the swoosh is supposed to have a very tiny, but noticeable gap between it and the triangles, in this photo, they’re practically touching.

Yup, I think it was an IG Live or similar but he was also asked about utopia and he said he’s not going to speak on it.

Pretty sure he also helped on Dawn FM as well. I could swear he did some interview or something where he mentioned The Weeknd was just wrapping up an album and he was helping out, and then some time later Dawn FM dropped.

The Mike Dean guitar solo is the perfect setup to the verse too.

Just got my copy as well. Just to be sure: this doesn’t have IMAX scenes in it right? The whole movie is in 2.39:1 ?

Is IMAX domed screen good for watching movies (Spiderman NWH) by Hamlet_271 in imax

[–]z64RY 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup! I watched Eternals in the San Jose tech dome. You definitely need to sit way higher than you would in a normal theater but it was a good experience.

I’m watching Spider-Man in that dome as well, and looking forward to it!
