Data science or Embedded

It's Monday, let's get this job hunt started again.
As I asked last thread:
For anons who have moved cities for jobs: Is it easier to get a job once you are in the city or are you fine to apply before you move?

>>106729792
I used to apply to jobs that were listed in the city I moved to recently
I have been getting more responses since my cv says that I'm a resident but it's still bleak

i don't want to go to work tomorrow
me not doing anything my job for the past few weeks is catching up with me
but i have zero passion zero motivation zero determination to do anything

>>106729926
wrong general

>>106729237
Think calling data science a "junior position" is a bit of a stretch

t. am considering going to grad school for data science after a cs bs

>>106729819
wish i could do that but problem is how tf do i get enough money to move to a new city and stuff

does this even work for anything above waitress / barista jobs? like corpo for instance

rn what i'm doing is just applying to everything and anything in the us, even if it means south dakota or iowa

>>106730370
I'm in the eu. I decided to get a customer service job and a cheap place to rent (I also got neat relocation benefits from my commie government for a year), in the meantime I'm applying to it jobs
I figured that in the worst case I could move on to a helpdesk job with my customer service experience + cs degree in time and then go from there.
I still had to do physical work for around 6 months to make the move happen so there it is, 1 year (and counting) after graduating uni and still no it/dev job

Had a recruiter tell me point blank that they don't consider contract work as experience. I tried to ask why but they ghosted me. Any anons care to give any insights? It is still doing work, gaining experience and even getting used to corporate culture.

I added pdfkeywords using the hyperref package on latex to a 1000 buzzwords of all the technical stuff I should know in any career I ever apply to.
Those words are embedded so the AI filters will fall for them and shortlist me right?

>Look up future interviewer on LinkedIn
>He looks younger than I am
>(After checking his education and experience he's definitely older than I am and that is a really old picture and/or he's extremely babyfaced, but:)
New fear unlocked.

Also the interview is scheduled to be 30 minutes and I don't know how this company runs them. So I don't know if this is like some babby-tier initial interview where the hiring manager asks me some softball questions while getting to know me, or if he's going to jump straight into breaking my balls with SME-tier scenarios or what.

>>106731288
what kind of employer are they recruiting for? if this is for government or defense they sometimes have rigid rules (they don't want to screw over career ladders for people already there)

>>106732610
It was a pretty stock standard company in Australia. It was an entry position I was applying for anyway, so I can't imagine leapfrogging those already there was the problem.

new leetcode daily problem! rise and grind!
https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-score-triangulation-of-polygon/description/
>You have a convex n-sided polygon where each vertex has an integer value. You are given an integer array values where values[i] is the value of the ith vertex in clockwise order.
>Polygon triangulation is a process where you divide a polygon into a set of triangles and the vertices of each triangle must also be vertices of the original polygon. Note that no other shapes other than triangles are allowed in the division. This process will result in n - 2 triangles.
>You will triangulate the polygon. For each triangle, the weight of that triangle is the product of the values at its vertices. The total score of the triangulation is the sum of these weights over all n - 2 triangles.
>Return the minimum possible score that you can achieve with some triangulation of the polygon.

EXAMPLE:
>Input: values = [3,7,4,5]
>Output: 144
>Explanation: There are two triangulations, with possible scores: 3*7*5 + 4*5*7 = 245, or 3*4*5 + 3*4*7 = 144. The minimum score is 144.

Generally initially you will get an online assignment on like hackerrank or some other platform its literally just a test no human interaction.

On meets/zoom interviews people use transcribers even overlays etc since you only need to share like your coderpad screen not your entire desktop. Heck even old school methods was having someone else in your ear or straight up another person in the room with you.

This. Also, HackerRank allows companies to have stricter security options depending on strict they way to be.
I had two different experiences recently.
For one company I had two medium questions but you were required to be in front of a webcam and the browser tab full screen at all times.
For the other company I had two hard questions but the only security measurement was not allowing you to change tabs after starting the assignment.

>>106737969

They're are correct. Since so many people are lying on their resume and through interviews companies are starting to bring back hire by reference/referrals and more in person tactics.

Do you guys send follow-up E-mails? Have I been fucking up this whole time?

Pretty good - I'm leaving my current IT company for one I had worked for previously for the same position and pay but instead of a hour and 20 commute its 25 minutes. I handed my two weeks in after back to back 50-60 hour work weeks followed by thousands of miles being put on my car. I will go from on call every 3 weeks to on call every 3rd month for a week and it's a team of people at a large company that seems way more stable. I took a risk doing my current job to get a lot of experience to many facets of the field and I'm happy with where I'm going thankfully.

I know this thread isn't an IT thread but - everybody keep your heads up. Make applying to full time jobs your full time job - and don't give up. There's a light at the end of every tunnel even if it means digging ditches for a while.

is it really just entry level jobs or are mid and senior level jobs also hard to find?

>>106744666
Hearing from people that had 10+ YoE who got laid off because of financial trouble: The entire market from top to bottom is fucked. Had one bloke who was a manager for a pretty decent sized law firm's IT department tell me to hold onto whatever job I get for dear life but also always be on the lookout for new jobs just in case you need to jump ship quickly. Shit's spooky right now.

Does amazon actually hire developers or is it just a front for h1b jeets

I had 40 minutes to solve this problem for a technical round and couldn't.

You are given a string that is split into substrings using a delimiter. Each substring can belong to one of the following categories:
alpha: contains only alphabets
numeric: contains only digits
spchar: contains only special characters
alphanumeric: contains a mix of alphabets and digits

You are also given a valid template consisting of one or more of these categories in order. The task is to check whether each substring in the given string matches the corresponding category defined in the template.
example: string - abc-123-acd-bff-345 template - [alpha,numeric] delimiter - hyphen (-)
should return true

I want to say its okay and its just a hiccup, but I dont know your education / yoe / financial situation so failing this could be a nothingburger or it could be catastrophic
Either way this problem isnt too hard, and it has multiple layers of solutions depending on your mastery of your selected language. If you couldn't even do the most inefficient brute force loop check, it betrays a fundamental lack of programming ability.

What did you try to do?

>>106743986
What color are your eyes? Blue/green eyes definitely have medicinal properties.

>>106745590
NTA but is there better than brute force?

>>106745546
You’ll get it next time anon just keep practicing

>>106745748
Anon you just break up the input string by the delimiter and then go over every character in each substring and check if it matches the template.

>>106745759
Yeah ik but is it possible to do better than o of n?

>>106745767
No, but that's not exactly the point
This question is more practical than just autistic time complexity autism, because it gives the interviewer a chance to show off their language mastery.

The easiest and most efficient solution would be:
>split the string by the delimiter
>iterate over the remaining substrings using regex expressions
If you don't know the regex notation for your selected language this is a problem (and they're always confusing, this is the type of shit 99% of people will google)

Otherwise you would do something like:
>split the string by the delimiter
>make a dictionary for alphabet characters and another dictionary for digits (faster than an array)
>check the substrings by character to see if they match the dictionaries, if they don't, they're special characters

>>106745839
i was allowed to google the ASCII values and any JS specific methods I would want to use. This was a JS interview. anyway I couldn't figure out the template matching and my output was wrong

>>106745839
>faster than an array
this is wrong for small lengths arrays dictionaries are not faster than arrays since computing a hash is quite expensive
>>106745437
bro that is quite easy you need to grind hella a lot more
i would also say this most likely one of the more "practical" leetcodes i have ever seen, high chances of you doing something similar when writing real code

>>106746024
>this is wrong for small lengths arrays dictionaries are not faster than arrays since computing a hash is quite expensive
How would it not be faster? If you use an array you would need to use one of the Array.includes(x) functions which is basically iterating over the array again, thereby adding another 26 (alpha) + 10 (numeric) iterations to go over per character
Surely a hashmap at that point is faster

> change my 4 years data analist experience to data engineer experience on resume since I was doing ETL and writing tests a lot of the time anyway
> get even lower salary ranges than as a medior or senior analist
> also expected to fulfill the role of network engineer, sre and devops at the same time for these vacancies

I thought data engineering was supposed to pay more at least.

>>106745437
Just dump it into chatGPT if it's online. Or have a friend on standby next time where you screen share and he copy pastas and tests the chatgpt solution then shows it on screen. Then you can type the problem out slowly. This is why its called jeetcode and I laugh at companies who keep asking harder questions thinking it'll lead to better candidates. No, not at all you just decrease the amount of genuine candidates passing but cheaters stay the same.

>>106744685
All sectors that pay well are rough. The only job growth I see is for jobs are ones with the combo package of awful pay + demand hard physical work. I wonder why we aren't in an official recession yet. I've seen recession periods that were brighter than now.

>>106744666
They aren't that hard to find. Its just that medior salary ranges now pay for junior level and senior pays medior level. I don't just see salary stagnation but decrease.

>>106746058
and how many operations you think is computing a hash and figuring out where that hash is? its likely hundreds+ and many of those operations are operations which CPU doesn't like
and sadly computer performance is not deterministic like that where you can just compute number of operations and say what is faster, each operation takes different amount of time, some operation can be done in parallel, how fast memory accesses depends on the past etc. etc.
big of oh n tells you very little about the actual real perforamnce of things

>>106745437
I don't understand the template part but I'm assuming its a list of acceptable templates that each substring could be. That is, while there are 4 defined categories, if only 1 is present in the template list, then that's the only acceptable one for this run.

>create 2 functions: isAlpha(), isNumeric()
>create 4 booleans: isAlpha, isNumeric, isSpChar, isAlphaNumeric
>initialize all to true
>iterate over each character
>use isAlpha() on character
>if its true, mark isNumeric and isSpChar false
>if its false, mark isAlpha false and then call isNumeric()
>if its true, mark isSpChar false
>if its false, mark isNumeric and isAlphaNumeric false
>repeat for every character until you reach the delimiter. Whichever flags are still left true, check to see if those exist in the template list and if they do, print true/false or whatever output it is you're supposed to have
>reset all flags back to true, go to next character
>repeat until done

> A degree is just a commitment to 4 years of bullshit and debt with a minimum IQ requirement of 100
You can get a degree without accruing debt. Most jobs require a degree anyway. Plus, college is a place where you meet your friends, future business partners, and, ideally, your wife.

I guess this helps adding experience on the resume, but at this point I could just do this shit for a living if I get enough clients yearly, right?
The issue is that I have no idea where to get clients, and no idea how much to charge them since I never worked a single job in my life.
What should I do?

>>106749076
but it really is.
step 1: split the string by delimeter (use .split method())
step 2: iterate over the items. for each item and for each category check if it belongs to one of the categories. if it does, continue, if it doesn't return false
step 3: if you got here without returning false before, return true.
that's it.
to check if it belongs to a category either compare ASCII values or write a simple regex- isalpha = /^[A-Za-z]+$/.test(str), ..., isspecial = /^[^A-Za-z0-9]+$/.test(str)

>>106749709
(cont)
you can construct a regex outright or do >>106746505 but that's unlikely to be required here. just follow the instructions.

>>106749709
you iterate over each character of the substring. you will have three nested for loops. it's easy to trip up in interview when you're in the thick of it

>>106749723
I was told not to use regex. anyway it wasn't a hard question and the fault is entirely on me for fumbling. it was a great remote opportunity and this was the first technical round of three.

>>106749733
that's why you split out the inner checkers as separate functions. it is medium to write a regex for "only letters and digits, must contain at least one of each" (must remember look-aheads) but it is easy to write a function that uses 3 regexes.

/^[A-Za-z0-9]+$/.test(str) &&  // only letters and digits
         /[A-Za-z]/.test(str) &&        // has a letter
         /\d/.test(str);                // has a digit

>>106749707

There's no saving grace towards indians

Black people, transfolk, libs, are at least have the tendency to be whiny and victim mentality, not exactly that annoying and you can just dismiss them and move on. They take all the fat bitches with them and thats good really leaving us with the cute ones.

Jeets whoever have this preinstalled superiority complex while their attitude are haughty to the maximum, literally the opposite of any sane person would qualify as having a decent manners.

Jeets would just straight up rape you and this will obviously ruin you and your loved ones memory for the rest of their lives.

Black people and somalis at least would just kill you so maybe you can immediately go to Heaven.

Trans and libs kills themselves and poisons their family with drugs and vaccines.

So, how do you want your people to be remembered? Whiny faggots who cant get a job at some konbini because you need a college degree?
