Alright so processes are added to the priority queue with a priority value and stored in a max heap where the root process has pointers to two processes with less priority and so on and so forth such that the tree is full (all nodes have two children besides possibly the last)?

Just six more sections today then project time.
Just 5 more rejections today then dinner
Remember to take it easy from time to time, /utwg/. Nothing in this world is worth worrying too much over.
>After careful consideration and review of your application, we have decided to progress with other candidates for this role. While we are not able to provide additional feedback or information about this decision, we would like to keep in touch regarding future job opportunities.
Over-prepared and the interview went in a complete different direction than expected again.
I'm building a B2B SaaS in a very niche segment. 10 years experience as a dev, including CTO-level, but this shit job market is driving me nuts and I can't even get a contracting gig anymore.Anyone else here who has taken the business-pill and decided to check out from the job market entirely? I'd rather make 100 cold-calls than put myself through one humiliating LeetCode interview again.
>>106890178What did they do? Leetcode?
>>106890108>alleviate your suffering by...>thinking the only existence you've ever known is a prisonthank you but I would rather view this brief moment of consciousness as a gift
>>106890306It was system design. I was expecting to go to a whiteboard, draw a bunch of components, explain the system HDL, decisions and trade-offs.In reality it was just like 5 minutes of verbally explaining the system and the metrics it accomplished after its implementation.
Unemployed IT guy started working on production line and realised that's apart shitty shifts, time wasting on commuting to work, low salary etc. there are some good things like nice female colleagues and you start appreciate another things..I had to work because no work no eat.Moreover in the current times there is no point of wasting time on checking companies and adjusting CV etc.And I think maybe I will decide on one product and improve coding...That's my last comment and no more time wasting on 4chan.Take an example of me. Don't reply to this because I am not going to read... (It will be tempting to check)God bless to you All (even the faggots, neets, black, whites.. )
If hash maps exist why do even binary searches exist? Why isn't everything just hash mapped? Is it because you need to write hash functions for them? Why not just like use the memory address of the key as the hash key or something?
>>106890662How do you look up the key?
>>106890662You can't easily do a range lookup in a hash table, such as "Fetch the key/value pairs between 5 and 20"
>>106890749neat thanks
>>106890377oofff...
>>106890662>Why isn't everything just hash mapped?Because you need to pay O(n) for the complexity of having every element.
>>106890911*hashing
>>106890911Yeah but now searching is O(1) instead of O(logn)
>>106889268I'm chilean but I actually have a job and only come here to check how things are going
>>106890972That only matters if you're expected to do multiple searches which is not always necessarily the case.Also, try solving this with hashinghttps://leetcode.com/problems/koko-eating-bananas
>first round interview (recruiter)>nail it>second round interview (tier 2 security analysts)>nail it>third round interview (security managers)>feel uncomfortable and self-conscious the entire time but still answer all questions wellWhy does this happen?? Did I shit the bed? When will they tell me whether or not I got the job?? Are managers always burnt out or am I an unwitting social retard???
>>106891681>three rounds of interviewsunless this is a fagman or f500 company they are just wasting your time, I have never heard anyone get a job from this bullshit
>>106891965You've never heard of someone getting a job after going through three interviews?Is that actually uncommon? Why would they waste my time? Literally makes no sense.
>>106891985I've heard it but it's usually for Boston Consulting group, Microsoft or Facebook or McKinsey. If you were that good you'd never be in this thread.All other jobs have 2 interviews. 1 technical and 1 recruiter.
Should I get PhD or should I get an MBA?
>>106892097you should unironically pivot to some other fieldif I wasn't a useless autistic chudcel incel I would do the same
>>106892113You can't pivot into other fields.Also I already pivoted to this one from another field.I ditched my field for computer science already. I have a degree in something else. Now they won't take me back.
>>106892091This was a larger company but not Microsoft large.If that's the case maybe I'll land it since I definitively did well on the first two interviews... right?
>>106892356I did 4 rounds of interviews with google and still got rejected.
>>106892382Are you Indian?
>>106892448Nope

Finally got back into my favorite routine of waking up past 6 pm and staying awake all nightthe only part that sucks is all the messages I get from retards bothering me between 10am - 6 pm

Cryptobros, how are we faring? Still got enough to keep the lights on?
At what point do you just throw your resume away and accept a life of working poor wagieshit? At what point is your resume destroyed/expired?
>>106898119one weekend off is all it takes
Do you bring a hidden recording device so you can review your interviews verbatim later?
>>106898507P sure last time I got #jeeted so I’m for sure doing this next time, if there is a next time
>>106889031Hopped into a .NET codebase. I don't understand shit without AI. All my contributions so far have been with GPT 5 or Claude. They are super technical and niche, like I look up its solution by looking at offical API docs or websites and I still don't understand it, but it does fix the bug I'm working on so it's not necessarily hallucinating a solution either. How did anyone develop without AI?
>>106889091printing money by government to help the economy but just delaying it's problem by a few more years.
>>106898569Also I should say, there are no books that actually explain this shit either. All the knowledge for this seems to be purely based on experience.
I have to work with another PhD student for a bit and the guy never stops fucking working, he's always messaging me to do work together in the evenings or weekends. What the fuck is wrong with people? We don't even have much to do
Is free online university CS degree a thing or a meme?
>>106898630No such thing as a free lunch. Prepare to pay less than 6000 dollars though.At this stage you're better off with an degree in quant.
>>106898617You have an opportunity to see how hierarchical feudalism in academia has transformed a person into never stopping working machine. They do it as good as corporations or even better sometimes, a perfect slave worker who believes he's doing something exceptional and good for society. Professors and their PhD students often resemble masters and their slaves.
>>106898585.Net is unironically one of the most thoroughly documented frameworks anonymous…
If during an interview they ask what you do in your spare time what do you tell them?
>>106898728For complex projects it's not documented well enough. Too many high level architectural buzzwords with little focus on the code.
>>106898887I'm referring to ASP.NET Core.

So chatgpt suggested me to show in my resume when my degree is expected, so I added it.Something like BS in Computer Engineering (expected early 2026).I finished my studies in around late 2023 but still have my degree in tramit and I really hope I can get it by early 2026.Isn't this limiting my chances a lot as every recruiter will think I'm not even a junior?Not to mention: I started it in 2013 or so and because of reasons, couldn't finish the studies until 2023. Life happened. So I either lie about it, saying I started in 2019-2020, or I just don't show the year I started, or what? It's also a latin american degree.This is a big mess, I don't know if I should follow chatgpt's advice. What do you guys think?
>>106898952Don't they reject people for being overqualified? If you have like 5 years of programming experience you're too smart for McDonald's managers to hire right?Sorry bro you're overqualified
>>106899183Finished your studies but don't have your degree? I don't understand your circumstance. you've returned to school after a break and still aren't done?I think generally putting on your resume that you will receive your degree very soon is fine, but hard to give specific advice when I can't even understand from this post wtf you mean
>>106899232Well, it has to do with how degrees work in my country.The basic idea is that we also go to university for 3-5 years depending on the degree. We only choose one area, we don't really have the concept of "major" or "minor", for us it's just a degree (or a major I guess).Once you finish all the courses or subjects, you are an "intern" but not in the sense of the word for interns at companies. It just means you finished all your studies but don't have your degree yet.You can get your degree if you had extraordinary grades, or by an exam, or most commonly, by writing a thesis and defending it. And that's when you actually get your degree and become, for example, "a computer engineer".So in my case, I started my professional studies in 2013, life happened (money problems plus being a terrible student during the first half). Got gud, finished all the courses by 2023, but only started the tramits to get my degree this year.I have some documents to transact, some payments to make, and so on, but I expect to finish the process this year and the degree will surely arrive in 2026.
>>106899291Mexico? If you're applying for jobs in america, give up for the current administration and wait until the leftist swing that accepts you with open arms.If applying for mexican jobs (or if I'm wrong in my assumption of your country) then I'd recommend putting your degree-obtaining date in your resume, but having strong projects/work experience above/before education (provided it's strong, which it ought to be if you're not wanting to sound inexperienced on your resume)Once you get your degree, I'd omit dates going forward.
just had the most humiliating interview
>>106899214How would they know you have years of made up experience if you don't tell them?
>>106899325>Mexico?Yeah>give up for the current administrationYeah chatgpt also told me that it would be valuable to add "Eligible for TN visa - no H1B sponsorship required" since apparently that's the kind of visa offered to mexicans, which is, somehow, better and easier to obtain that the one offered to indians.I'm not informed at all about the H1B stuff that happened some weeks ago, so I wouldn't know.Anyway, I'm honesty applying everywhere. México, America, Europe, remote, on-site, relocation, everything.And yeah, thanks for the advice, I'll remove the dates once I get the degree.
>>106899404What did they ask?
>>106899431to make a calendar in react
>>106899440And why was it humiliating? Did you fail?
>>106899611yeah
>>106899657Are you a new grad or how many years of experience.I can imagine the cringe if you called yourself senior. But whatever, the recruiters probably see people struggling with dumb shit every day. You'll be forgotten soon.
>4 rejections in a rowIt's over
>>106899670it was for a junior developer role
>>106895534That's how it always is. I'm 15 years in and still feel like that. There's just too much for any person to know it all. If you've never deployed anything for real, there's even more stuff to learn like proper logging, authentication, cloud infrastructure, etc. Just take on problems as they come. At first they'll all be new and a struggle, then later only some of them will be. It will always be exhausting and make you feel retarded no matter what you do so just pace yourself and remember that everyone feels like this.

>Are you currently in the application process with any other companies?what's the correct response?
>see pajeet name on linkedin as job recruiter>don't even bother applying to that positionit is all so tiresome...
>>106900477the correct answer is yes.
>got to 5th round with a company in Feb>rejected, no feedback>got to 2nd round last week at that company for different role>was supposed to talk to potential new boss and boss of similar team>potential new boss didn't show, only talked to boss of other team>rejected, feedback centered around skills for HER team>skills/exp mentioned weren't on the job listingIt genuinely seems like I'll never get out
>>106889652It's a retarded recruiter who doesn't want you going directly to the company's posting so the recruiter doesn't get their cut.
>myworkdayjobswhy cant my account just be shared across all fucking companies. I am entering in the exact same fucking information AHHHHHHH>you know, maybe this is a retard test and I should write a script to do this for me
>>106900581I had an intervoew where the interviewer got really excited about me as a candidate, even gave me his contacts at the end etc.this was the last question and I truthfully replied that I am but I'm a lot more aligned with their company than the other oneafter that I got a weird feeling from him
>>106900623I don't get their coldness. The process is clearly in favor of the hiring companies so you HAVE to apply to many places and take what you can get. HR retard was maybe hoping he could lowball you on the low end range of the salary requirements thinking he had you by the balls or what?I've had HR retards ask me the same question. The honest ones seem to want to know this to know if they need to hurry up with the process on their end (in case you ARE a good candidate) so they don't lose you to another company.I think answering yes is the right way (whether it's true or not).
>>106900477"No" suggests you're not desirable, have less salary negotation leverage and they don't need to hurry with you.Since it's a stupid game of poker you should just say "Yes".
>>106900791I assume something similar too>>106900665It was odd because I lead the last part of the interview with sharing how long my notice was at the company and we talked about my salary expectations too by the time the question was asked.as I mentioned before the person was really enthusiastic and gave me tangible responses as well not just the usual word saladI showed a lot of enthusiasm as well, so I'm not sure what happened.I have to note though that it's a large tech company so they might process things slowly and I'm just overthinking it. it hasn't even been a week since the interview, it's just hard to take it because I really want to work for them
>>106900602>5th roundShould've probably stopped at 2nd.
>>106900904yeah, 5 interviews is a huge redflag for me3 interviews is the max but at that point we should be discussing the specific job offerI once spent so much time making a home project and taking part in 4 additional interviews for a company where even by the end they couldn't give me a starting date and then told me that they'd contact me latersome companies are ridiculous
>still not a single interviewI guess my resume sucks and so does my github.

>get feedback from interview>recruiter says I should've used a string set instead of a map[string]struct{} in Go for better memory efficiency>???Now it makes sense why companies chose not to give feedback and expose the incompetence of their own hiring team.
>>106903015xhey are right thoughbeit sets are more memory efficient than hashmaps since you're only storing one value instead of 2 per hashuhhhnot that it matters because it would never be enough of an issue to cause any real problems on modern hardware...
>>106903102There are no sets in Go, retard.map[string]struct{} is the canonical way to represent a set and it doesn't store two values since the size of struct{} is 0.
>>106903168>There are no sets in Go, retard.
>>106903015That is embarrassing. Wish there was a way to complain.

Doing your employer a favor of not having to sift through applicants who are lying their ass off just to get an interview. But yes the secret is networking.
Recruiter here, why are all of you so stupid? I forward resumes all day that promise they're rockstars at everything and then I get mean emails about how bad the applicants are. Why do all of you lie on your resume so much? Literally all I asked for was 5yoe experience with Windows XP and 3yoe experience with PHP 8.5.
Applicant here, why are recruiters so retarded? They keep forwarding resumes to HR retards instead of vetting candidates by themselves. No wonder they get emails about how bad the applicants are. Hell, they ask for experience on retarded, outdated crap and then tell candidates to stop lying on resumes.

I know I'm gonna get bored in a month or two and start doing everything I can to fuck off and do the minimum amount of work possible. I will not be worth my salary and I will not try.So is it nepotism?

I imagine them saying all kind of racist stuff when they see me, it makes me double mad I hate my life
>>106906137It won't help fix most of your problems but you should diet properly and exercise if you aren't already, I unironically recommend ozempic / mounjaro and a high protein diet. If you can at least start getting into looksmaxxing and thin up and get some muscle on you, 95% of people will treat you better even if you are a spic. Lookism is real and just not being some fat coca cola goblin will make everyone more tolerant of you and help you go a looooong way.

Just "graph theory"? Not "node graph theory"?
>so (working backwards), you go to each node connected to the end node and assign the weight assigned to the edge connecting them to the connected nodes, then you do the same for all those nodes adding the weight of the edges connecting to new nodes to the weight assigned to the now middle nodes and assign that number to the new nodes. Then you look at ALL the nodes and find the node with the lowest weight and go from that node. If a node connected to a node already has a weight value but the new calculate weight value is lower you reassign the lesser weight to that node. I guess I can just find the lowest weight shortest path between fucking anything now.

>>106908132If he were a jeet he would probably have a job tho
Are transferable skills just a meme nowadays? Can someone who previously worked as a dev start working as something like a systems engineer, business analyst or project manager? How the hell does someone even get into those roles?
Fuck dude I honestly thought I aced my dsa exam but I got an 84% and study.com doesn't show you the questions you got wrong (I can probably chock it up to ESL question writers). Aw well B means good. Now I just have to write a binary tree and string search using boyer-moore.
>>106909503Not much about working has changed but interviewers expect you to have 4 years of experience doing high-level specialized work in whatever you're applying for.
>>106910222it is extremely difficult even just to get an entry-level interview.
I have degree, 4 years of exp and i just got a rejection email from a field service tech job paying 20 an hourlol
...Damn we really need some ideas guys with mbas who can secure a business loan to take advantage of all this desperate highly experienced tech talent huh.
>>106910757they'll just hire ranjeets until something is done at the legal level. gotta cut costs, after all. Product quality be damned.
I'm starting to realize my brain doesn't work in a way that is conducive to being a good at programming. I would be fine with being a mediocre developer and coasting but we're well past the ZIRP era that allowed people like me to hold jobs
>>106910770Idk if you had a 100k business loan, the 4 best utw anons, and four months you don't think you could whip something up that brings in like 20k a month by the end of that period? That's only like 4k subscribers. 4 months. 4 anons. 4k subscribers. Final destination.

>>106911202my old job paid well + i made significant money on nvda, tsla, and a few other stocks.
>>106911278define "significant money"
>>106911202Live at home
>>106911278in post split price terms I rode NVDA from $30 to $140 and made around $90k on it. Similar on TSLA since my average stock price is ~$240 and I put in a decent bag on it.Rode SOFI from $10 to $22.I'm not some investing whiz but I've been fortunate that these played out right as I quit my job and have been unemployed.
>>106905203>>106905303Feels like you should have an 'are you a bot' filter on who actually clicks the link and then reward them if they are actually human.
>>106910717Did they require a degree? If they didn’t then maybe leave it out of your resume
>Recruiter schedules call with me >45 minutes before call: "Anon, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience" >Reschedule call for today >She doesn't call I thought this one would be different because she personalized the initial message. >>106911202My money from my previous jobs kinda just piled up because my hobbies are cheap (goddamn I'm so happy I hate traveling) and like half my meals are Costco pizza. Though I get VA gibs, so I do have a (small) income even while unemployed.
>>106911202I live with my parents, and tbf i did even when I had a job but at least then I could help them pay the bills, now I’m just an unemployed bum and probably a failure in their eyes. I’m considering taking up a part time retail job just to cope and get out of the house more, but I also don’t want to kill my career
>>106911202i rode for like 2-3 years on old military deployment money. they pay very well in my country
Tech interview in less than 24 hours and I barely prepared myself FFFFFFUCKshould I just leetcode all the way until the interview time?
>>106911394Same. The shame of having to ask my mom every month to help pay for something is killing me.
>>106889031>6 months unemployed with a master's degree and forced to get into shitty call centre job>https://www.reddit.com/r/CallCenterWorkers/comments/1o621ot/leaving_call_center_job_advice/Ah, this is my future as upcoming call centre sales rep I see.
>>106904004Because you're retarded and do everything wrong. Asking X years of experience is how you let lying jeets thru. Instead you should be taking new grads and training them to be a senior, it's cheaper and there's already an expectation that they don't know what they're doing, but if you pick a good grad with a decent GPA they can learn fast.
could you guys have done this >>106899440
>>106911869I know a decent amount of React but I generally need to refer to old work I've done when I'm starting something new. They wanted that done during the interview?
>>106904420>and to practice my stackwhat's your stack?
>>106911869Before ChatGPT days? Probably if I applied for a React job. Nowadays? Just throw it into Claude lol. Seriously, these employers are asking too much. Basic knowledge of DSA, for loops etc.. should be all you need to nail an interview. As far as React goes, knowing your way around components, seeing how you code etc... It shouldn't take more than that.
>>106911952It's getting crazy what people are asking for to work on their basic ass CRUD apps.
>>106911921Yeah but I was allowed to google or use AI tools if I needed help with something. But wasn't allowed to prompt the AI to create the component entirely. I didn't know anything about grids or the built in date() method in JS. I did manage to create the grid but couldn't figure out how to map the dates to the grid. It was the wrong approach anyway.
>>106911952but there will always be another applicant who knows more than the basic stuff and it would make sense to hire them over you. I would do the same if I was on the other side.
>>106911973>But wasn't allowed to prompt the AI to create the component entirely.Not even a blueprint?That's like saying>Don't use tools at your arsenal and pretend it's 2019
>>106912017I think it was to test my skill level but they did say they use AI for development. It's probably better if your vibecoder still has a decent understanding of what's happening.
>>106912003Knowing more doesn't immediately imply competence. Like if you sat us both down and asked us to work with the same level of knowledge, on a particular app, testing our ability to write good code given scenarios, if he can outperform me then he knows more. But that is not what a knowledge test would cover.

Well, I had to think and shit, but ultimately I was able to do something insanely cool. Dewey Decimal can fuck himself I am the principal of finding, give me the number and I will find it immediately.
>>106912485mainly QA since I have a lot of test automation expirience so I figure I can hit the ground running with any job like that but I can't get the time of day from anyonemy previous role had me starting as QA but moved me to front-end and eventually full-stack webdev as other team members quit

>>106911108I wouldn't pay for a grocery store TSP. Or maybe it's a Chinese postman. Unicorn apps are always about facilitating illegal transactions, which in this case would be rating, vetting and selling food that's prepared in a household kitchen with pictures of what the food becomes.
Soon-to-be-unemployed here. Is quitting my job at this time of year a bad idea? I'm insanely underpaid so i'm basically throwing money away every month I keep working here but it took me 50 applications to get this job a few years ago and the thought of going through all that again worries me
Being able to find things instantly is like literally a thing Gods do though? (I added 8 to the array btw)
So glad I didn't just go with:<code> public BinaryTree createSevenNodeTree() { BinaryTree sevenNodeTree = new BinaryTree(); sevenNodeTree.root = new Node(4); sevenNodeTree.root.left = new Node(2); sevenNodeTree.root.right = new Node(6); sevenNodeTree.root.left.left = new Node(1); sevenNodeTree.root.left.right = new Node(3); sevenNodeTree.root.right.left = new Node(5); sevenNodeTree.root.right.right = new Node(7); return sevenNodeTree; }</code>Now if I can't figure out rebalancing I can just remake the whole tree and still get a passing grade.
>>106913127lol 50 applications haha
>>106913127hang on to your job for dear life, dont leave until you have something else lined up, market is F U C K E D nonny
>>106913127most people here wish they were in your position. being underpaid is better than being non-paid.

>>106912581If you aren't already in the industry no one will even look at your resume or your github or whatever you'd use to demonstrate that you have learnt what the employer wants you to have learnt.
At this point I feel like I could have limitless motivation/willpower and it still wouldn't get me hired. Like I could study 110 hours a week, reach Neo or Mr. Robot levels of computer skill, and no company would give a fuck because the job market is shit and I give them the ick or something. I regret not counting the number of applications I've sent out in the past year. I guess I can start now.

I think I should suicide for good.
>>106915212It's completely at the whim of the interviewer. My last interview was "given a list of packet sizes, calculate the minimum MTU to configure to transfer then in a t time horizon". Basically, if they like you, you'll get in, and if they don't, you won't.
>>106915647>>I AM NOT HISPANIC OR LATINOI am

What are some non-tech or non-IC roles we could see ourselves getting into?Product/program/project management?
>>106912416>Laid off almost 3 years agoWhat do you even say in that case when they ask why you've been unemployed for 3 years?
I have one technical interview and a first contact interview (by a department lead) lined up next week for 2 different companies in internship roles, they even gave me the questions I'd be asked for the technical interview ahead of time. If all of those fail I still have a zero hours contract offer confirmed from a third company.I guess wagmi?
companies should receive a bonus from the government for every former neet or career track changer they take in. only DEI that makes sense.
>>106916328You want to know that one, you just ping the destination with different packet sizes until it says it doesn't need to be fragmented then add 28 for header.
can a nigga get a job?
What the FUCK is this for, it's a devops role for god's sakeAm I too low IQ and this is a test in itself? jfc
>>106918366I hate these type of questions
>>106918366I actually have a story for this lmao
>>106917395I tell them mostly the truth, that I took a few months off to recover from burnout, and another few months to study up while helping out my mother during her cancer treatment, then when I started to look for a job in earnest the market had turned from Covid-era "give anyone with a pulse a job" to the current "nobody gets a job without an advanced degree and personal recommendation from the CTO" which has left me high and dry for the past two yearsIts fudging the timeline a bit, and I don't go into all the financial fuckery that went down with my severance, unrecieved bonus I was (verbally) promised, or unemployment office issues that led to me not getting paid out for almost a year

Is there any way to recover from a 7 year employment gap on your resume or am I permanently unemployable now?
>>106919299just lie nigga
>>106919319How? They're going to verify if I really worked somewhere and for how long I worked there, so I can't lie about that. The best thing I can think of is say that I was a freelancer for the past 7 years, but then they'll probably want to know what clients I worked for and see some projects I worked on.
>>106919299what were you doing?
>>106919353Being a neet and living off crypto. But in about 6 months I'll have run out of it and have literally $0 in assets left, except a house worth about $250k that I can sell and move into an apartment, which will only buy me another 7 years at best. But that's just kicking the can down the road and probably making me even more unemployable in the long run.
>>106919342>they'll probably want to know what clients I worked forsay you're under NDA
>>106919395you are dumb as fuck, that's excellent material for a resume>Crypto Trader | Self-Employed>2017 – 2025>Actively traded a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH, and emerging altcoins, across major exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, etc.>Conducted fundamental and technical analysis using tools like X, Y, and market sentiment indicators to identify high-probability setups.>Documented performance metrics, trade rationale, and lessons learned to refine discipline, emotional control, and data-driven decision-making.>Implemented algorithmic trading experiments using Z language and API integrations for backtesting and automated order execution.there, now add some modern tech mumbo jumbo buzzwords to fill it out like how much you made through crypto for impact or some dumb shit like "I used AI driven solutions..." nonsense for trading or automation and you are gonna get someone interested
>>106919577How does any of that experience relate to dev work? All my prior jobs were in webdev. I didn't do any of the shit you described anyway. I just got lucky and bought crypto right before it took off. In fact every time I actively tried to trade, I only lost money. At one point I had 25 btc worth of crypto and I could've been a millionaire today if I hadn't lost most of it trading shitcoins back in 2017-2019.
>>106919642you could mark off those years as freelance. a lot of startups don't do background checks
>>106919686Will they care if I don't have any projects to show in the last 7 years since my last job?
>>106919642bro companies don't give 2 shits they just want people that can make money, if you were able to live off crypto for 7 years that means that you know how to interpret data and make smart choices, you don't need to tell them you just lucked out during the initial bullrunjustmakeshitupeveryone is doing it, you just need a convincing lie, study some blockchain for a few months and say you are an expert in web3 shit or something
