When u graduate during a recession :/ 

Already have a vpn but getting that for u

I got 2 internship offers today so I won't keep looking for new positions but I will keep on with the other places I'm still interviewing with

@@koraxtu5989 in which Semester you are ?

@@krisshu8120 I'm 2nd year in associate's, my internships are spring and summer

@@koraxtu5989 Congrats 👏

Good advice 🙏

​@@FryingPan I am a bit worried about what you said in the end, so if you do not mind, a small story: I'll be honest, I graduated a couple of decades ago and haven't worked much on my CS skills since (I've been teaching and stuff). By total accident I got a remote job in a US based company for a Junior Dev at my age, and I was like "am I really going to manage it? After all those years?" ... turns out that I did manage it. Not only that, but they were very sorry they had to not renew my contract (LIFO - Last In, First Out :P ), but they kept saying how I was their best employee, hard working and all that. And I was baffled, because I didn't think I was all that. All I did was hit the quotas, be available, be amiable with team requests and be friendly. I didn't think that was much, but of what I gathered when it comes to competing with younger people, that is now a lot to ask. The dude they had before me and they fired him was younger and BETTER at coding than me. They kicked him in the curb and got in an old teacher from abroad and they ended up being super happy about it. Turns out that there are *SOFT skills* that are valued as much as SOFTWARE skills. So, for what you said in the end, do not make the mistake of getting into the grind of "forever improving". CS is a never ending pit of knowledge that is getting deeper every day. Get yourself some *soft skills* (which are forever the same at every era) and quickly try to make the jump from "coder" to "team leader" and then you can turn it down a notch. The work environment now is odd and apart from good coders, what companies want is people to *fit in* with their teams. This might explain the mystery of your friends going 10/10 in the interview tests, but failing the interview itself. Good luck out there. I do not have a job at the moment either, but I am not living in the USA, so I am having a better time of it.

You say it as we don’t literally apply for everything and still no job 😂

man I love this message, people need hope and yes if you have to work than anything will do

@@ko-Daegu Bruh but depends on what kind of jobs u apply for and people don't notice that. People just apply on MNCs, thinking of job security lol. But startups are a place to learn tbh.

Smit is a beast irl too

That was Leet the LeetCode God

Leet code and chill

stay stong, brother, we are going make it

Will it stay the same in 2024?

same, but i don't think that things will stay the same until 2024 🤞🤞

But hey, the Pan community don't take Ls. We turn bad times into opportunity and a challenge to go beyond 💪😤💯

Yo fuck the statistics, just keep at it 👊

Im in the same boat as you but I do have a final round interview with a FAANG company. Terrified. But I will keep grinding.

@@SmoothCode All the best 🍀

@@YourLocalCafe i dont think u can build startup on visa? can u?

CS? LMAO

as a freshman majoring in CS i was shown with statistics how there will be more jobs than people who can take them in the future but that never made sense to begin with

@@AdrenResi get out of cs now.

@@AdrenResi always more and more companies popping up that need engineers. But don't expect to stay at companies long. Keep up your algorithm skills and soft skills and you can find work wherever. Heck, maybe even a software consulting company. Make friends with your classmates and alumni in the industry. They can be your foot in the door. Referrals always help over cold applying. Good luck

Software isn't going anywhere. That doesn't mean it will be easy to find the job, but basically every sector needs software. Sales, medicine, manufacturing, robotics, everybody used software. CS was still a good call in the long run. You'll have more security than people who went to coding boot camp because you have the theoretical knowledge to apply to any software technology.

What's the difference in salaries between these 2 companies?

@@overlord658 Which 2?

Ty for ur comment, keeps me motivated

Part 2: When he looked at Pan, he felt a spark of inspiration. This spark, however, was like a flame met with a great tinder, and the experience from all his LeetCode flashed through his eyes. Every single problem was ingrained in his memory at that moment, and still the fire continued to rage and spread like a forest fire. He remembered one particular problem and he recognized something deep inside of Pan which Pan himself never so much as glimpsed a corner. "Isn't this like a binary tree?" He thought, and while his intense gaze was starting to make Pan feel uncomfortable, he was absorbed in a different world. It was as if he had been blind his entire life and finally regained his vision. "If its a binary tree, it must be able to be inverted." With that thought, he felt that he was no longer looking at Pan, but a shuttling array of numbers linked with lines. Soon, like he had imagined countless times in his head, the numbers started to shift and change and reorganize themselves. He felt the changes in the depth of his being, and the startling changes also reflected in reality. He had firmly grasped a corner of The Great LeetCode. Pan was upside down. Not only that, his facial features were flipped like a mirror. There was also something else, he felt his memories of Pan grow fuzzy. The same was true of all Pan's relatives and acquantances. "Or... that's not right. Yes, I remember now, his name was naP."

Ty for the comment

True and you can star in a non top tier company and enter just after

True

please tell me where, my anxiety is thru the roof (graduating 2024, cant find a single internship)

@@126sivgucsivanshgupta2 Literally hundreds, if not thousands of other high paying companies to go for apart from FAANG, if you want a software engineering job

Look at companies in the field of energy, or cybersecurity, chemistry, computer science for biology/medecine... In my country we have problems to recruit in those fields, so I suppose many other countries face the same kind of issues.. Don't panic, I may be optimistic but I'm sure there is place for all kind of engineers in companies (and not only companies, public services also!!) :)

Damn dude, I am on 150 apps right now and getting discouraged.

Damn I'm on 70 and already giving up😭😔

Sup wand

Ily2

Thanks homie

yup

She asked for my signature shortly after (true story)

Oh...so that was the full sentence

I am good thank u

RBI grade B?

@@uwu-dm7vb lol. Bank PO also has gross salary same as base pay of FAANG India. Stocks means nothing the current market teaches it.

A govt paying better than entry-level FAANG, wow. Nice job man.

@@neildevtech when you exclude the stock as you can't spend thst amount from first month

Can you also tell what is the job you got selected for?

CS is still extremely good regardless, keep it up brother

i’m in the exact same position! coding and problem solving doesn’t come naturally to me but it’s so fun. a bit scared for uni next year but it’ll be fun :D

also in the same boat but I feel like the economy will be rebounded and booming by then and you can finally get your 3 gigma offer.

same problem here bro. all ik is some basic level python and html and sql aka stuff taught in hs level. imma be grad next year too and looking at these tech job recessions and how competitive its about to get this gonna be scary

@@uk8982 homie, your time frame is too short. The US has a boom bust economy. It's a feature, not a bug. By the time we graduate in 2027 the job market will once again be hot and we can both be google and facebook engineers

Always put yourself out there. (: Do it, fail, do it better and succeed.

Lol that would be so fun

Whats the pay for this role?

@@ottoponte6870 90k plus performance bonus

Than just do it instead of complaining

Good

You could maybe get a degree in something else your passionate about but also could be supplemented by a tech degree? Like engineering could be an example? Your good with the inner workings but can also work on the software?

Is the CyberSecurity field still in pretty good shape in terms of hiring? About to graduate in a few months

@@loganjohnson8450 Yup, until they replace all the end users with robots and AI you will always have idiots clicking on emails and links they shouldnt. I will say it was the hardest ever to get my first full time gig, and that was with a year of sys admin experience. Took about a year of applying and interviewing to get my first cyber gig but worth it.

@@innocentrage1 Good Job man! And yea, until robots can secure themselves, they will need someone ot keep the robots and AI secure. Thank you for the response!

Why this is an upside?

@@ottoponte6870 presumably because they can return to Canada and look for jobs there, rather than being directly affected by the US tech layoff?

Survivor no more
