Re:Ask HN: Those who got layed off. Have you found a job?
on Thursday July 11, 2024 @05:00PM (#40940566)
Laid off last August. Still actively looking. I have about 4 years of experience.
No notable company names on my resume so I suspect that's why I'm still having a hard time.

Re:Get mock interviews now, pay when you find your next job

Absolutely agree. I’ve found that behavioral interviews are harder than technical interviews at this point. If you don’t have the set of experiences they’re looking for then it’s game over.
This can be ameliorated slightly if the interviewer is willing to accept a hypothetical, but this has rarely been the case for me recently.

>Classical violinists are already playing at close to a professional level before they start college. At your age (assuming you're older than 8), you don't have a chance at making your hands do those things, or mastering skills such as sight-reading. I started playing music at age 8.
Sort of bewildered by this statement. You can't learn to sight read after age 8?

The analogy here doesn't make sense. It'd be more like the actor mentioning that he doesn't have any experience doing commercial work, but he has acted in a theatrical production before (suggesting that he's adaptable and willing to do more than just one kind of acting job).

Mostly because it’s impossible to accurately predict the market - and this is just a competition to see who can build the best model.

Re:'Range' Argues That Specialization Should Not Be The Goal For Most
on Tuesday August 20, 2019 @12:22PM (#20748737)
I’ve never understood the obsession businesses/managers have with specialization in the tech realm. Knowing a lot of different (but related) things doesn’t preclude you from learning something in depth.

It really depends on the project. A lot of times that modern thing you're working with is just a wrapper around some C/C++ library (unless you're doing web dev - then there's a whole other set of issues).

How do I find an entry-level software position?
Recent CS grad here.Is it me or have entry level positions almost completely dried up in the software industry? Almost everything that I find requires 2+ years of experience. I apply anyway, but needless to say I'm not having any luck finding a job.Am I approaching the job hunt the wrong way or something?
