Hello community! I graduated with a CS Bachelor's in June and still looking for a SWE or related job. Just wondering if it's common for startups (any stage) to take on people who don't have much experience. So far in my job search, I've applied to big tech and startups but my experience with these applications so far is that startups are not interested in new grads/no YOE, which makes sense,...

To be more specific, I have a call with a recruiter to get to know each other and talk about surface level things, including compensation expectations. But this question can apply to the first conversations about compensation and the negotiations later.

I'm looking to expand my sources for where I get my information from and learn about a few different subjects slowly. Thank you :)

Hello!I came across this site [1] earlier today on Reddit. It is well organized and has decent sized articles [2]. It looks like a digital textbook with digestible information. I'm wondering if anyone has anything similar to this style and quality but for CS. I'm not necessarily looking for a particular area/field of cs, so I'm open to any and all. Thank you :)[1]:...

New CS grad (bachelors). Looking for advice on how to make myself more marketable/employable for a first job. I have some projects on my resume to talk about and I have no desire to study/practice Leetcode/DSA problems because I would rather learn a new skill, refine existing ones, or build something from a tutorial/course/idea. Not sure what to do since I know most new grad interviews focus on...

I majored in CS and never really explored much outside of it, so I didn't give myself a chance to learn about the reputable names, concepts, or theories in economics. I'm going to start applying to jobs soon and would like to learn about personal financial literacy and historical and present day economics to get a better understanding of the context before I get paid. I'm hoping learning about...

Hello HN community! I just graduated in CS with my bachelors. I don't have a job lined up, which is fine - I'm taking a little break before starting my job search later this summer. I'm looking for new hobbies to look into to spark new interests or expand upon existing ones. Or if you have advice on what you would do in this time in your life (I'm 22 years old), I'm open to hearing that as well.

Hello again - I made a similar post not too long ago about taking car of yourself and got some good answers and advice, but I came up with another question!I am finishing my bachelors in CS right now - about 6 months left. My schedule does not look heavy for my last couple quarters, but I do not like the schedule I have to follow in school. I don't like being given somewhat boring assignments...

Hello :)Just looking for community or experienced/professional insight on how the industry currently handles recruiting, interviewing, and hiring processes. What are problems with the way these are currently handled in your opinion? How do you suggest we fix it?Nothing is perfect and there is always room for improvement. So if you were in charge of your own company, how would you look for and...

How do I get involved in the start-up industry? Where do I get information about what is happening in the industry other than reading HN everyday? I applied to a few jobs on angel.co and workatastartup, but got a few rejections (as expected, so not a problem) and no leads. I don't mind starting a business or working in an already existing one, but how do I get started/get in/distinguish...

Hello HN :)I am an enrolled in a capstone course this academic term and my group and I are brainstorming ideas for some program/software to make. I thought to ask the community for some ideas. The only requirement the professor asks for is that the project is legal :)We are open to ideas from any field/domain/application. Ideas can be a part of a bigger project like developing a startup or...
