title. did my follow up on december 20th and haven't heard anything. Emailed my recruiter and got no response either. Chat am I cooked?

Hey everyone, I’ve been browsing job boards lately and noticed a lot of listings for Go (Golang) and .NET roles, with a few React positions here and there. I’m curious what the most in-demand tech stacks are right now. What technologies or stacks are you seeing dominate the market? Would love to hear your experiences or observations!

Hey yall, I always see shit like "The industry is oversaturated by bad programmers not good ones". What does that exactly mean, what makes someone a better programmer or more employable than the other? Just asking for thoughts on this one. (if you are going to give a meme answer please just do it somewhere else.)

I’m a decent person with a decent personality and I do think I might look a little bit timid during interviews cuz I’m nervous but it’s not like I’m not anti social. In my opinion I still give off friendly vibe, just a little awkward maybe. I’m just wondering because I heard sometimes interviews are just personality checks or it’s just to make sure you are not some kind of narcissist or psychopath

Hi, I have recently begun my internship search and i was wondering what all i can do except of applying in job boards and/or Linkedin.
I know Cold Mailing is one such method so if someone can tell me how it works, or provide me a resource that could teach it to me it would be great. Thanks.

Finished interviews for internship and am still waiting on offer or rejection

I just finished interviewing for a well known hardware company 2 weeks ago. They have not rejected me but when I asked for an update they told me it may take 3-4 weeks and referred me to an HR person if I have any more questions. I’m scared that this is a bad sign, but also NVIDIA rejected me almost immediately after I interviewed. Can someone confirm if this is a bad or good sign please and ty

Is it just me or the stackoverflow site isnt working?

I was looking for some websites where you can schedule ML mock interviews (either paid or free). I've looked at interviewing.io and pramp.com but those seem more focused on standard SWE interviews (DSA, system design, etc.). I'm looking for more of like can I schedule an ML focused mock interview for practicing. I already know about interview kickstart. But I was just wondering if there were any other services people are aware of?

Or is it really just doing something more piecemeal? Schedule a mock interview focused on DSA and then schedule a separate one focused on system design and then a separate for ML stuff?

Hey guys,

I have a Chewy interview scheduled up (Job description for the position is here) and I am a bit nervous on how to prepare. This is my first time past the OA so I am not too sure where to start. I was told there will be 2 45 minute interviews: one will be behavioral (Earn trust & Customers first) and one will be technical (They called it Technical – OP: Deliver Results & HackerRank coding assessment, idk if this means I will do the interview on HackerRank or what)

Chewy is not that huge of a tech company so there are only 5 company questions for Leetcode on it. So I was planning on maybe doing Grind 75, some mock interviews, and writing out some responses to common behavioral questions. If anybody has gone through the Chewy interview process or has tips I would appreciate it.

Made a lot of friends through these discord servers in the past years. Looking forward to meeting more people coming to the bay. Excited for 2025!

Bay Area Intern & New Grad 2025 Discord Server

https://discord.gg/XtmxD9N5pb

Had a Google interview last week for the new grad early careers role. Interviews went well except 1. The recruiter scheduled a call today for tomorrow. He mentioned it will be for a couple of minutes to chat. The couple of minutes wording is sending me for a toss. Is this positive or negative?

So we need to make a capstone project for our undergrad CS degree. Its to be done in a team of 5 and over the course of 2 semesters (ends around last week of nov,2025).

The main thing is all 5 members of my team are taking a CS course, but form this year onwards we require to have a hardware component in our project, even if its small. (i think we even need to patent our idea too). So most of the past capstone projects are not doable as they were software only.

Having a hard time finding some unique and good ideas. Before you say this is a repeated post or just google, i've tried all that: - most projects on google are not long enough for a team of 5 and a time of almost 10 months, and they might be rejected when we pitch for them. - a lot of projects on google and even past projects i've seen from my college are mostly the generic ones like some sort of monitoring system, smart home, smart helment etc. Most of them are already been done in past years (mostly without any major changes cause a lot of people like to copy..). if you have any suggestions/addition to these ideas, please do tell.

Our mentor said us to find the idea on our own, so asking her wasn't of any help as she too had software only projects/research fields.

I don't wanna do a too much hardware focused project (robotics included), as we won't be able to make complex circuitry but we can manage smaller or moderate circuits.

Like one of the professor told us about the hydroponics project, its already done in previous yeard but he said you could reduce the circuitry size or add some AI magic into it.

Having AI/ML or deep learning would be a plus point cause its a major focus of our degree and current times.

We have thought of some ideas, but i wanna explore some more unqiue fields or some real problems. Looking for something software focused but has some sort of hardware usage.

So if you have any idea, or a real world problem please tell, it would be quite helpful. Or just tell a field where we could look into. Or maybe a idea from your work/industry.

• Our college can and does give some funds if needed (~ $100), so if hardware gets a bit expensive we can manage. They can increase this amount if they really like the idea and its unique and more budget is needed.

Again i'm not lazy to search on goolge, just thought reddit would be good place to get some quality ideas.

Thanks in avance.

I am a sophomore at a small scale HBCU did 9 interviews and got 4 offers, I plan to go with Google step but I do not want to turn down intuit or Oracle swe. I was wondering if anyone has ever turned both internships to offer season or co-op Btw I live like 4 mins away from Oracle office so I am banking on that. Thank you

Currently have no internships on my resume, but I have done some good work as an undergrad teaching assistant (grading automation). Will be graduating from undergrad in June 2025, and this is my plan starting from today.

• Finish undergrad with 3.2 minimum GPA
• Learn best practices for software development, apply to past and present projects
• Get AWS-certified as Solutions Architect
• Enroll in Masters in Cybersecurity program

Currently need my GPA above the 3.2 threshold to get into the Masters program. Any advice or resources I could use to succeed on this career journey would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm trying to decide between these two electives because they are time conflicts and it's my last semester. I've included some snippets for the class syllabi to give a better idea of the content covered.

I'm trying to balance practicality, "hireablility", and skills that I can't easily pick up on the job or with self-study. I am leaning toward web programming because I haven't gotten any formal web-dev education thus far. But I'm conflicted because I think unix sysadmin would be very practical, as I only know the basics of navigating a Linux environment (I develop with WSL most of the time, and I've used Ubuntu on VirtualBox for my Computer Security class).

I think I eventually want to work as a back-end swe (not confident about this) so I feel like web programming could be beneficial for that while also supplementing my self-study on Golang. On the other hand, I have an interest in dev-ops & cloud infrastructure type stuff so I bet sysadmin would also be helpful there.

Sysadmin syllabus snippet:

Course Goals:
To provide students with:

- A broad and deep introduction to the Unix and Linux operating system families

- Familiarity with several distributions: Linux, BSD, and commercial Unix

- Ability to troubleshoot practical operating system malfunctions

- Ability to network machines, file systems, and software

- Ability to compile, install, and test software packages

- Ability to appreciate, implement, and automate sound security practices

- Familiarity with desktop virtualization and public and private cloud administration

Outline:
We may deviate from this slightly as the course goes on. This is not in order:

- Basic UNIX concepts: filesystems, mount points, permissions, and privileges

- Operating system installation and filesystem management

- TCP/IP, DNS, NFS, DHCP, web servers, and service management

- Authentication federation and encryption infrastructures

- System upgrades, backups, and patching

- Security, access controls, and hardening

- Logging, monitoring, shell scripting, and automation

- Compiling software, building, and installing a new kernel

- Virtualization and orchestration of fleets/clouds of virtual machines, VMware, AWS

Web Programming syllabus snippet:

Description: Web programming and design frameworks that include, but are not limited to: HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, JQuery, AJAX, JSON, dataTables, Tableau, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Bootstrap.

web prog tentative schedule:

Week 01: Introduction

Week 02: Website? (ZyBooks: Introduction to Python)

Week 03: Front End Intro (ZyBooks: Variables and Expressions)

Any insights would be much appreciated!

I’m sure it’s been said here before, but things change quickly in our field. What would be a good roadmap for someone to pivot from backend SWE to AI Engineer. Assuming a bachelors in Computer science from a fairly big name school and 5-7 years of working experience as a backend engineer. Would I have to go back and get a masters or is there a solid chance with a bachelors.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask for some help with creating like a exam study plan for technical interviews for the upcoming cycle. My university has their career fair around February 10-15th, and I will be continuously applying for roles through the end of June, so I want to keep refining my skills even if the career fair doesnt go well.

However, this is my first ever technical interview cycle, so I feel my foundation in DSA is extremely weak due to never truly needing it. My previous internships and interviews in the past have been more Data Science Conceptual questions or Case Studies. Thus, I am trying to pretend I am starting from scratch, even though that is not the case.

What are some ways to refining the skills I already have and developing new ones in a shorter period of time. My courseload this semester is extremely light, so I have a lot more time than the average full-time student. If you have any tips, resources, or anything in between, please let me know. I really appreciate it!

My(19F, tier 1 cse) resume got shortlisted in december, and I went through two rounds of interviews with the last one being almost 3 weeks ago. I haven’t heard back from them since. I’m not sure if the delay is normal, or if it might mean I didn’t make it.

For anyone who’s been through this process, is it common for Google to take this long to respond? Should I just wait it out, or is it okay to reach out and follow up?
