I read the other day that they just added loops to cloud formation, so now you can write conditionals and loops in your yaml

idk about cloudformation but in terraform conditional logic is really useful if you want to make a module that can be used for multiple nearly-but-not-quite-identical scenarios. like: i have a custom aws lambda module that does all of my organization's lambda things for me. sometimes lambdas need to be inside a vpc and sometimes not, so i just expose a configuration option on the module that conditionally does the vpc things.

lord fifth posted:i got sent a hackerrank for an fpga engineering internship. very curious what thats going to look like; i thought these positions would be less competitive than software positions. and it's definitely way harder to practice "problem solving" with an hdl since to my knowledge there's no leetcode equivalent so this was a series of 20ish multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank questions that were loosely related to digital logic design and hdl. everything from "which boolean expressions are equivalent" to "what is the most efficient ways to use these machines in a business process" to "which of these multiclock schemes kinda looks like it would work." im a ta for a digital logic design course so i did alright they sent me a take home verilog test to do. before i get any further into this process, i want to make sure im not wasting my time. this internship is an fpga position at a prop trading firm (not necessarily a good one) and although the salary would be higher than i could get at a tech internship, im worried about setting myself up for a solid career after graduation. does anybody know what the career verticals and progression for this sort of job are as compared to a big tech software job? it's hard to find info on the internet since there are so few people actually doing this work

a bad prop trading firm is indeed often the same kind of magical thinking stuff as crypto. but tbh i don't think it'll look bad at a cv anyway. possibly, in fact, for some jobs they may wrinkle their noses at the vhdl stuff, as not really demonstrating the careless throw-javascript-and-some-yaml-at-the-wall of a lot of the tech industry. i think that's overthinking it though, if the bottom line is better and you think it'd be interesting then i don't think overthinking the cv can really make up for it.

im mainly interested in trying out hardware work and getting paid my worth for it, it's just that the specifics of making that happen in this country are unfortunate. good point though that it would probably only disqualify me from positions that i dont want anyway

internships don’t matter that much in the way of hurting career prospects but they can definitely help you. your first job out of school will have a much larger impact

so, almost a decade into my career I've realized something: I have no idea how to write a cover letter there's a couple positions I'm looking at applying for just to see what happens (they'd both be massive salary bumps, though one would involve moving to europe and doing esports backend poo poo) but they both want cover letters. I don't even know what you put on one, I've never needed to. wtf does a cover letter for a tech job (network engineering) even look like?

Short section about you, your skills and relevant experience. 3. More in depth section about what you bring to the table. Specific project experience, responsibilities, and impacts. Tailor this to the job. 4. Small waffle section about how excited you are about company/industry and how great this new challenge is going to be. 5. Looking forwards to hear from you, kind regards, au revoir. Best wishes, Kazinsal

"always submit a cover letter", "always thank the hiring manager for their time", "never have more than one page of text on a CV", etc feels like advice passed down from a school's volunteer undergrad resume coach who, themselves, have never had a real job

Dijkstracula posted:1) "always submit a cover letter", I've hired ~20 people including engineers, reviewed ~2000 resumes, got my first job ~20 years ago. My opinion is USA specific and assumes computer touchers. 1) Sometimes submit a cover letter. If the job requests it and you care about increasing your probability of success or have a resume that needs additional context (gaps, recent career change, relevant story that doesn't fit on a resume) submit a cover letter. 2) Appreciating the time of the person interviewing you, including via a polite thank you, is something you should do to signal that you can do office etiquette. Doing office etiquette can be a big deal in some places. 3) Often you can tell the story of who you are more convincingly on one page rather than two. Non doctorate havers with less than 5 yrs of experience in related roles should never be over a page. CarForumPoster fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Aug 12, 2023 |
