don't worry. they're all just corporate-ese nonsense that means basically nothing. they're written by HR rats that don't know what you do either.

why do you think the only thing that's ever clear is "u gotta kno salesforce bro" and everything else is nonsense? they don't understand anything else. they literally cannot express what they need.

>Can you explain this two year gap on your resume, anon?

How do you answer this in the IT job interview?

do I have a better chance of getting hired if I wear a wedding ring?

>>103277809
it's a 50/50 on whether the HR stacey wants to jump your bones and having a ring or not also has an impact. if we karnaugh map it

>if they do, ring is gud because "ooohhhh hes so dishyyyy and le forbidden fruit uohhhh other woman says he gud so he must be gud"

>if they don't, ring is bad because "omg he has other obligations in life we cannot possibly hire a """""man""""" who won't be a 100% slave to the company"

>if they do, no ring is bad because "ooohhhh hes so dishyyyy but hes not married, wtf must be wrong with him???"

>if they don't, no ring is bad because "but hes not married, wtf must be wrong with him???"

so we have a 3/4 chance of you being binned

note: because it is current year, "HR stacey" can be a HR stacey(male) and does not significantly change the dynamic

note2: you do not have to actually be dishy. the assumption is made on the part of the hr stacey that you must be if you were able to get married. it is a rationalization based on seeing the ring, even if you're a slovenly neckbeard it gets reframed as being "cute"

I just threw up really violently from drinking on a saturday before the sun has even come up. This is what being in IT does to people

>>103277883
>>if they don't, ring is bad because "omg he has other obligations in life we cannot possibly hire a """""man""""" who won't be a 100% slave to the company"
Married employees can't leave or act out because they have families relying on their paycheck, they're actually much better for the slave role.
In asian countries it actually prevents men from climbing into management roles because they'd be considered too 'unstable'/have too much freedom

>>103277944
in the west however, families are perceived to be stronger (even though they aren't) and managers loathe the married because it means that while they still have to provide for their family and will be unwilling to quit, they might also ask for a day off ever to attend a little league game or have an anniversary dinner or something, or god forbid, ask for pat leave someday

it probably has happened and was just swept under the rug, and if it's only happened a statistically insignificant number of times it's probably because if you're willing to kill yourself you will be likely unconcerned with shitty zoom calls but if you are willing to do it at work to make a point you'd do it right in the office

>>103278374
realpost: it's probably because it breaks compatibility with something stupid

plenty of languages/programs accept only " or ' to imply a string, or have different meanings for " and ' (for example, it's an important distinction in powershell)

It's a JS web app, I think it's just autism. He can't get over some project he did 8 years ago where every line had to have correct indentation or else it wouldn't get merged.
I mean I understand the commitment to quality but if you're going to get upset over code quality of random people who drop in and out of projects once a year, you're just going to waste your energy and still end up with 0 results.
It's also the same dude who insists on rewriting everything he can get his hands on even when there's a deadline just around the corner. It's like the concept of time sensitivity is unknown to him.

this is also why I hate when people say that you need to work hard, build a routine or have discipline instead of waiting for motivation to come to you. my best moments for learning and doing shit have almost always been those in which I was motivated and inspired to do something. and isolated, too. which is also why I blame my environment for my worst moments.

Last month, the consulting firm Cognizant which is the largest issuer of H1B visas lost a discrimination suit. The suit was filed by NON-INDIAN employees stating the Indians continuously discriminated them in the workforce.

NTA, call me a naive optimist but the fact that liberal Canada has turned staunchly anti-immigration in under 2 years means there's a chance something gets done about it in tech. Literally everybody knows it's happening and not just at consulting firms - once an Indian takes control of a team, it's not long before the team is full of Indians and non-Indians have either been forced out or quit because they were sick of the bullshit.

I'm not talking about the quality of work (spaghetti code isn't illegal), I mean some big tech company is going to get hit with discrimination charges because some high up Indian's emails will get leaked revealing his organization tosses most non-Indian resumes and it'll blow the whole thing up.

It makes sense. If you really don't care about compute efficiency it's probably the single most reasonable and ergonomic language out there.
What's an extra second of CPU time in your app cost? Maybe half a mil for a second server every 5 years or so *if* you have an insane amount of traffic. What does a team of good C++ devs cost? 5-10 mil a year and they're way harder to wrangle.

in canada it's not only in tech. blue collar workers are pissed off too because the larger companies are also importing jeets, and independent contracting is all fucked up because as usual it's high caste jeets importing low caste literal retards, getting them certified through shady means, and now people are getting hit with semi trucks in the street and buildings never get built on time and then fall over in the first windstorm that happens because their high caste overlords cheap out on everything and the guys doing the work are massively incompetent. at least the retarded somalians and nigerians from yesteryear knew how to swing a hammer. indians can't even make fast food goyslop properly.

yeah its pretty gay. lie to your employer and leechmax. no one cares about "genuine experience" in this CRUD depraved fuckscape.

it's a dog eat dog world

here's a news flash for you, in case there's people new to the industry here. if you're an American you will not get a job programming. you can get a job. you can get a job as a programmer. but you will not be programming. i have a tech job that pays decent but i do all my programming in my free time. the job is just to pay bills.

don't know what background checks are used in your cunt but all of mine have been thorough work history checks as well, for the past 8yoe i've been working
i can tell pretty easily cause first place i worked at got acquired by another company but i list them separately so it looks better on my resume, but on my bg check it shows just one solid block of employment at the latter company cause that's technically "officially correct"

>>103286649

>>103286804
background checks are not real, or at least not standardized and require a PI look into you, which companies are not willing to pay for. mostly they just run your name through equifax and ask that you supply your own proof that you're not a felon (some police departments offer this as a service but not all of them and it's generally done at the prospective employee's expense)

there's security clearances but those serve an entirely different purpose

Getting a nice job is much harder due to the systematic racism against whites in the IT sector. You'd have to be willing to settle with something far below your level. It's impressive how jeets have managed to gaslight the entire industry into giving them the jobs whites are supposed to have, and then forced whites to take the shitty jobs that they had instead.

>>103289236
A good choice for avoiding office politics but if he causes more situations where he's blocking your work, and you value your job, you need to preemptively document these things and notify the person who's in charge of you having a job that he's causing your bad performance

Or the alternative is taking it like a little bitch and accept being thrown under the bus by him. Be sure to get another job lined up in that case

are those job sites where you upload a CV and the site companies call you back a scam? Feels kinda like a cheap knockoff of tinder...

>>103280423

Accepting it goes wrong later, not right away (if at all).

Only time passing will tell if the promotion is genuine or for temporary retention while they find a replacement wagie.

I have my first technical interview tomorrow (first application in the IT sector). I started with the leetcode "top interview 150" and the problems are super easy? I get most of them correct right away. Sometimes, there's an off-by-one or rare corner case that lets me fail test 567/630, but I can fix it immediately.
Please tell me that this is not all there is to it.

>>103290569
are you doing naive solutions for every problem? if so of course they're pretty easy
>Sometimes, there's an off-by-one or rare corner case that lets me fail test 567/630, but I can fix it immediately.
you don't get to do this in interviews btw, not figuring out edge cases is a reject
off by ones are fine tho

I have a little under 2 years of experience and a 6 month gap from being on holiday.
Didn't get a single interview from around 100 applications last week.

Probably wont find anything until January with December hiring freezes
So I'll have an 8 month gap by then. Is my career over? Should I just lie and say the last position is still current? I'm confident I can pull off the technical interviews but I wont pass a background or reference check because my old boss was a scrooge for doing things 'honestly'.

>>103290983
It's more about "oh, I didn't know that the strings were allowed to have numbers as well, in that case, I need isalnum() instead of isalpha()"
The interview will be done via Teams. Is it common to do the tasks on a similar web interface, or will I share my screen and run the code on my PC?

>>103290538
its German site idk if it is credible or nor just wondering if uploading CV is ever worth it instead of searching for a job and then submitting it directly. Don't like social media so can't be hit up by recruiters.

>>103291154
>It's more about "oh, I didn't know that the strings were allowed to have numbers as well, in that case, I need isalnum() instead of isalpha()"
yeah that's a reject tier
you never want to silently give the wrong answer if you get into this sort of scenario, learn to assert your assumptions about the input
>The interview will be done via Teams. Is it common to do the tasks on a similar web interface, or will I share my screen and run the code on my PC?
depends on the company but it's really not common at all that you'll have access to a test bank to compare against
most of the time you have to develop your own tests

>>103291167
a few sites tried that model after that first big one was a mild success, but these days no one uses them. it's unlikely that they're any bigger scam than Indeed or Monster but like I said, it's unlikely you'll find a job using them.

even look at it from the employer's side of things -- do you want to comb through a giant repo of resumes, or wait on prospective employees to beg and grovel and hand you a CV tailored to the position you're looking for?

all that said, recruiters do trawl LinkedIn ofc, and Indeed at least has a feature where employers can just look through resumes or automatically send spam to anyone applying to similar jobs etc. but the sites that try to be explicitly Bumble But For Jobs were a passing fad that's already long ded

recruiter call gave me 3 topics that the coding assesment will cover
>wordbuilder
>largest sum of weights
>word split
word split is pretty obvious, largest sum of weights is either Kadane's algorithm or a dp problem
No idea what wordbuilder would be though

>>103291228
So it's just me and my terminal? That's good to know.

unironic realpost wrt the overabundance of jeets and jeet companies in tech

india offers incredibly cheap schooling, and while 90% of their schools are degree mills, for a time most indians were not going to those schools and instead taking advantage of gubberment gibs to concentrate in mumbai and go to half-decent schools that are accredited in the west. additionally, the schools themselves were well-funded and offered modern curriculae, especially in tech industry nonsense because it is both cheap to modernize and easy to teach.

likewise, everyone and their poo-stained brother has a "startup" over there for the same reason that "tech" just has an incredibly low barrier to entry in terms of initial capital requirements and the indian government subsidizes that sector heavily (or at least used to so there's lots of mature companies now) and doesn't have much going on for export. their economy appears to be kept afloat by oil, coal, gold, and 419 scams. oh and alternating between begging china for gibs and then going to war with it.

also linkedin legit lets you buy bots. those "sponsored" recruiters that seem to message you as soon as you log in? it's a bot. 100%. and not a cleverly written bot that uses some API, making that happen is just a service linkedin offers and is done on their side with pre-written copy. given how much of india is working in lazy borderline scam "tech industry" garbage, of course lazily written ad copy from recruiter bots is mostly coming from indians. western techbros scout more precisely since they're LARPing as sports team owners and the big companies know you will just go to their careers page if you want a job and don't need to shotgun out recruitment messages the same way job seekers shotgun out applications.

You just think about the set of edges in the spanning tree so far out and keep adding to the set and capturing distances to the node.

When I was in college everyone cheated off this one guy who actually got it wrong. His program generated spanning trees but not minimum spanning trees. I had overheard it and was using his algorithm and didn't catch it until I did the Windows port with mingw (because I thought I'd be extra and have it run on Linux and windows.) I only had a few minutes until the deadline at that point and was actually able to figure it out in time.
