already at dece 6 figgies in nyc. this is +15% plus another 10-15% annual bonus on top. it's a solid offer for the position, not great. there's little doubt that it's much less of a shitshow organization than current employer.

ProSlayer posted:I'm currently interviewing with Google and it's been a horrible experience. It seems like their recruiters / engineers / managers are constantly busy so every time I have to schedule an interview, it takes a couple of days for the recruiter to get back to me, and then a couple more days to find a date/time that fit, which is nearly always a week or two out. So far, I've had to go through one recruiter call, one technical pre-screen, one onsite (w/ four interviewers), one follow-up technical, and now I'm being asked to schedule another follow-up technical interview. At this point, I don't even care if I'm rejected - I just want it to be over with. Being in job limbo is killing me emotionally. I stopped practicing LeetCode questions because I wanted to know whether I got accepted/rejected before continuing, but now I'm thinking I've wasted precious studying time. If the company wasn't Google, I'd have told the recruiter the recruiter that I'm no longer interested a while ago. i have my first phone screen with them next week. i don't know why i'm doing this to myself. always stress the gently caress out and have a panic attack. manager was kind enough to give a heads up that the team is likely getting laid off and she's trying to jump ship so i have to interview without the comfort of just saying i have a job gently caress it edit: i stress out and have panic attacks when i have a job, going to be great to find out what wondrous things my sadbrains put me through now that the prospect of no job looms KidDynamite fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Dec 5, 2018 |

So I think I have adequately updated my resume thanks to MononcQc. I'm not sure if I should include the trucking company because it's not relevant at all to CS work but it also fills in what the hell I've been doing since high school minus all the waiting and bouncing jobs on the side as well. I don't know if I should have the ellipses with skills because honestly anything else is stuff I've touched once or twice and can't answer anything about. Please rip it apart.  Edit: MononncQc i am buying your book on friday

dragon enthusiast posted:Nobody gives a gently caress what you've been doing since high school, if you had left the trucking job off it would have looked like you went straight from high school to college to employment. Instead now you invite questions about why you didn't do the normie 4-5 years of college after high school Wouldn't being 32 invite those questions anyway?

I bombed the gently caress out of my Google interview. Stay mushy anxiety brain. Psych gave me a script for propranolol for the anxiety and it stopped my heart from beating out of my chest like normal, but the mush brain didn't go away. I talked through the problem well just actually typing the code to execute what I said didn't go too hot. More practice and studying and on to the next.

jit bull transpile posted:wait they expected your to live code a functioning application? what the gently caress. who cares if a thing compiles, the point is supposed to be to see how you think and approach problems. No not expected to compile just loving up my closure logic and needing help from the interviewer on actually writing code to match what I’m saying.

did well on my phone technical interview today. pretty sure it will lead to onsite. unexpected levels of sweat coming for my clothes. edit: and the propranolol worked or maybe it was less stress cause it wasn't google.

mod saas posted:curious what kind of work and what the impressions were? iOS dev position. Recruiter said they work with xamarin(lol cross platform), that they’re in the process of hiring a QA team but for now the devs write the QA scripts as well, that they are in a crunch to deliver their streaming service and she mentioned how overworked she was. It just seems bad to me.

i've been working remote for almost 2 years and it's definitely a bit too much to keep motivation going and that's me who's fairly anti-social. It's going to be a shock going back into an office when I land a new gig but I'm actually looking forward to it. I got a second phone interview with google after I was almost certain I completely bombed the first one. Recruiter said I communicated well and that clearly the thought process and knowledge was there but the actual code writing is what needs to be scrutinized more. Its scheduled 3 weeks out so I will practice no IDE coding for the time being. Have on-sites and other interviews in-between now and then so hopefully I will be a lot less anxious by the time it rolls around. Still very strange speaking with the recruiter casually because I was expecting rejection to dry mouth and stammering after she said they want a second interview. I guess I only get this way for the FAANG

propranolol works loving wonders. Had 4 sessions: technical, behavioral, case study, technical. All the technicals were in swift which was really cool, but may have bit me in the rear end since I don't write swift everyday. First technical was pretty easy, no white boarding just look at some functions/methods/statements interviewer had pre-written and answer output, why it won't compile, etc. I forgot about the mutating keyword on one question. Behavioral was standard stuff which i answered with STAR. Case was actually pretty interesting and I thought cool. Provide business pros cons and technical pros cons about some case, then answer a technical problem that could up from said case. Last interview I was running out of steam and propranolol confidence so it was a bit rougher and a second interviewer came in as white boarding started(each other was 1 on 1) . It was some linked list stuff and not bad in retrospect. I got a solution with some help, and found an optimization with a hint as I was completely done. We didn't have time to implement optimization and that was that. I will get a decision and hopefully an offer tomorrow. Which is awesome turn around. Nap and then taking a crack at this vimeo code test that looks like entirely too much work. my friend at vimeo in a non-engineering role also informed me it's being re-worked because devs straight up stop the process because it takes too long. I don't feel like doing it but i don't want to make my friend look bad even though the recruiter contacted by coincidence.
