dantheman650 posted:Got a job! Thanks for all the good info, especially that negotiations article on the OP. let the imposter syndrome commence! Awesome, it's pretty neat reading through your posts in this thread. From "I've been teaching myself" to "Here's some stuff for critique" to "I got a job". Way to go!

Edgar Allan Pwned posted:Year and a half post graduation with a CS degree. Not a ton of junior developer roles and I was suggested to look at QA or even desk support as a way to get my foot in the door for potential future development roles. I would keep trying to land a dev job. Sure, you can get to developer from support or QA, but that is the long way around and it might even make it harder to get the first dev job -- some people will just see you as 'tech support' and ignore the degree. How many places have you applied to? Where are you located? Are you willing to relocate? How is your github and/or do you have some projects to show off?

Yeah, it doesn't matter in my experience as someone that went to a small school (graduated as one of 17 csc students). Anyway, it really doesn't matter because you already attended the school you attended and you can't do anything about that now.  Apply to places you want to work at, not the places you think might take you. You don't want to work for someone that will only hire from 'schools they've heard of' or similar nonsense.

Pollyanna posted:Eh, I dunno. Way I see it, the only project worth working on is one you have a real and compelling reason to do. In my experience, trying to do a project just for the sake of having a project and not something you're majorly committed to is likely to end up with you getting bored of it quickly and not actually finishing it or learning anything. I don't agree with this, it feels good to make something even if other people do it better. The same way it feels good to make furniture out of wood even though you could just go buy a better one and pay less.

feedmegin posted:You probably want to use something relatively mainstream unless you know the job/interviewer is likely to know clojure. 'Any language' doesn't mean 'go ahead and write it in Brainfuck or PDP-11 assembly language' after all. The important thing is that the interviewer can easily see what you're doing, algorithmically speaking. Obviously varies based on the interviewer, but I'd be over the moon if someone produced a brainfuck fizz buzz or w/e. As long as they could explain it.

Bob Morales posted:If I put projects on GitHub so an employer can see them, they're basically public for anyone to fork etc, right? You could put a restrictive license on it. Or make them private ($8/mo I think) and invite whoever you are interviewing with as a collaborator.

I dunno, he's young, it sounds like an adventure. And if you hire him he doesn't need to worry about the education for a little bit at least; it's a batchelors and could be continued anywhere. A fair amount of people relocate to other countries without friends and family there. Not that you shouldn't be wary, but I can understand where he is coming from. e: also, "Let it be a lesson ... have some experience." rubs me the wrong way

Cuntpunch posted:I mean great, if you're looking to bus tables during a gap year. But when you're figuring it's a step up in your career but you have no social support system in place and literally no experience at all with international anything - the culture shock and isolation is bracing at best. Not saying that you *can't* do it - just that it takes a pretty specific sort and some indication of thoughtfulness and preparation. Right, I have no idea how he presented himself in the interview. And its good advice to be prepared to answer questions about where you would relocate to.

Pulcinella posted:Thanks! A hashmap is a way of implementing a dictionary, but basically the terms are interchangeable if you are speaking informally. You could, for example, use a BTreeMap instead of a HashMap. As to why to implement your own -- You might want to use a different hash function or a different method of handling collisions. Usually, though, you can change the hash function fairly easily (without replacing the entire data structure) p.s. a hash table is an alternate name a hash map taqueso fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Mar 18, 2019 |

There is always someone better, but it's a crapshoot if they were invited to the same interviews, so you might as well not think about it.

The way to get hired easily is to know someone. Which is about the same for every other industry as far as I know.

Nyyen posted:I took turtle basic in middle school? This is totally enough to decide you like it. And tons of people started out game modding. If you are serious about it, start trying to make something right away. You learn the most and will have an easier time finding resources when you have a specific problem to solve.

Computer touching has a long history of highly skilled self studied people, so the industry is pretty open if you appear to know what you are talking about. e: actually maybe it's a short history, and we don't have the regulations around something like accountant, civil engineer, or surgeon.

TheIncredulousHulk posted:but I'm not in a position to be picky To some extent you do want to make yourself memorable/notable/endearing to the reader over bland, though I imagine some people would argue the newbie resume isn't the place for it. Standing out in any particular way has a chance to be a negative with some portion of interviewers/companies, but it can also be a positive for some other portion (and neutral too). You have to weigh how much that is worth and fit with the company culture, but if you are already playing 'a numbers game' it seems worth considering.
