Hello guys, I'm looking for a more traditional developer role. I was hired on my latest job in February but am realizing that I am learning skills that aren't directly related to how I want to grow as a developer. I am being pruned into what is more like a controls engineer rather than a programmer, the latter of which is more related to what I went to school for. (Don't ask how I got my...
So a little background. I started my first 'programming job' close to one month ago. A lot of my onboarding so far is just learning with very little work that provides value to the company. So three days ago I choke on a minor but simple mistake, which ended up being an easy 40 second fix. It was a based on networking, which I am just learning. My boss ends up not being pleased. I mentioned to...
Hey guys, I recently graduated and am having trouble getting callbacks for a phone interview. In the last two months I have been on only two technical interviews (one coding and one design), and while I technically passed (according to the interviewers), I have a feeling they went with someone with more experience.I really need your help. If you have the time, I would like some advice on how...
I'm hesitant to post my profile here, but I'll try to describe it the best I can. I really only have one open-source project that I've collaborated on, roughly 140 lines of code altogether. It was a scraper for a local non-profit.The rest is just class projects, or repos I forked but have not added to. (I intend on getting to them) I also have some freelance work I've done but I can't make...
I realize that this is likely posted once a year, but I haven’t found an answer specific to a personal problem. I should probably give some backstory. Without going into too much detail, when I was a kid up until the age of 12 I was bullied so badly by much older members of my extended family that it sent me to a downward spiral. I didn’t fully recover until senior year of high school, where...
Some context: I have been applying for jobs for about two months now. I currently live in an area that is not exactly a tech hub (quite the opposite actually), so I'm forced to apply to out-of-state. You can't even find an internship here at the moment.I recently had an interview for an Entry-level position halfway across the country. I thought it went well and I passed the rather...
So a bit of a disclaimer: I've already tried the MIT Math for Computer Science, and it was difficult for me to be motivated to take it, perhaps because it was a slightly too advanced for what I am ready for at the moment.I have also tried reading Rosen's textbook, which I found much more approachable. (problems tended to be easier, relatively easy to read the textbook, etc) My only issue is...
I am about to graduate with a degree that is heavily programming based while working as a Math TA. That said, I need to gain some experience. My issue is that I've sent out about 10-15 resumes and the only one that has gotten back to me so far was an unpaid position with a startup.I'm pretty sure I have landed the position, and they are working on an Android app, which I would like to gain...
