What to do? Please help /u/AdditionalAd173 CSCQ protests reddit

So I was interviewed at a small hft firm for the role of a CPP dev last year through on campus placements. Although there was a bond of 1.5 yrs(including 6 months internship) but since I was interested in cpp development, I was okay with the bond. I did great in the interview and was selected. When I joined the company in Jan this year, I was informed that I’ll be joining the devops team(a team which consisted of just one intern before I joined). I had some apprehensions which I informed to my manager and hr and they told me that I am free to leave if I want and they can discuss about the bond amount.

This was my first job and there aren’t many CPP dev roles, so I continued with the job in devops. I was learning new things but the work was quite boring(little to no logic building and very less coding). I used to work independently of my mentor(or as I used to think). I helped them setup their backup process, sonarqube integration, Jenkins pipelines, monitoring servers, etc. I wasn’t very happy but I was working for money. Recently I was told by my manager(who is an AI enthusiast and thinks that chatGPT can solve everything) and HR(who is always rude to me maybe because I don’t do boot licking and also because of the initial confrontation regarding the role) that my performance is not upto the mark. This came as a surprise because last month only my mentor(an intern) told me that I was doing good and being newbie to devops, my performance was good. They told me that my work is not upto the mark and that I do not work independently. I tried to talk to him but he wouldn’t listen a word, so I kept shut.

Now they have told me that I have 15 days and after that they will decide my future with the company. I got to know that this is how this company functions. It is a hire and fire company. They hire many interns(cheap labour), get their work done and then fire most of them. Only people who are extra ordinary and are ready to get exploited are retained. They expect you to work 24/7(there are people in here who do that) and the culture is really toxic with lots of politics. I had very few friends over here and I used to talk less(I am very talkative with my friends in general but the environment is really depressing here). Now most of my friends have been fired. I feel kinda depressed.

I want to leave this shit hole but my family is forcing me to stay(money and gap on resume). I was always interested in development. I don’t want to stay but I am a bit scared seeing the current job market. I am decent at leetcode and cp. I haven’t done a lot of development but I have started learning and developing projects.

Many of you might think that if manager wants to fire me and I also wish to leave then what is the problem? The problem is that ik that if I give my 100%, they’ll keep me, I can do good work. But I don’t want to not in this domain, where everything is so repetitive.

What if I leave and don’t get a job? Please guide me what to do as I am feeling a bit lost. Please help a brother out🥺

TLDR – manager wants to fire me, I also want to leave but will it be fine?

I got hired, and I feel unqualified and overwhelmed. Is this normal? /u/bitchslippers CSCQ protests reddit

I got hired, and I feel unqualified and overwhelmed. Is this normal? /u/bitchslippers CSCQ protests reddit

Hello everyone.

I’ve worked in restaurants for over a decade, and started teaching myself to code ~ 3 years ago. I have a BA, so I qualified for an intensive 14 month program, which I recently graduated.

I feel very comfortable adapting to new languages, frameworks, really anything on a small scale. I have the basics of OOP. Perhaps more than the basics. I’ve built many apps. But I just don’t have enterprise level experience, and I feel like its such a huge hurdle.

I’m really anxious because I originally interviewed for a position with 3-4 years of experience, and they obviously could not offer me a job. But I interviewed well enough that they offered me a junior position that they weren’t looking for.

I’m really anxious I won’t live up to their expectations. I want to do well. I want to work in this field, so far after years of searching I’ve finally found some type of profession I could actually see myself doing. I performed really well in school, I am curious, and I want so badly to succeed. But I feel very tripped up by feelings of inadequacy.

I’m just wondering, is this normal or am I really in over my head? Does anyone have any advice for their first year in this field?

Thank you!!

Made it final rounds after failing technical screen /u/3JingShou CSCQ protests reddit

Made it final rounds after failing technical screen /u/3JingShou CSCQ protests reddit

So I applied for this senior front end job, during technical screen they gave me a multi thread question and although I was able to figure out the general approach and provided some code , but I didn’t really make it run and was missing a portion of the logic.

Of course in this competitive market I thought there’s no chance I made it to final rounds.

A week later, they said I did it well and I been invited to final rounds.

I am not sure why, is it because they have to interview certain number of candidates before they can hand out an offer ? Am I wasting my time here ? I didn’t even get through technical screen so I’m not sure if I can make it to final round.

Also why did it take 8 days for the hiring manager to informed me that I made it to the next round ?

Thanks for any insight

[ Breaking ] Big G does another round of mass layoffs – this time to ship jobs overseas as part of a massive restructure /u/Large-Translator-759 CSCQ protests reddit

I am hearing estimates of ~9000 employees total being laid off, a lot of them being SWE and financial folks.

Can anyone here confirm?

https://nypost.com/2024/04/17/business/google-lays-off-workers-as-part-of-pretty-large-scale-restructuring/

Google has laid off employees in what is being described as a “pretty large-scale” restructuring in which the tech giant is moving some jobs overseas.

After i cleared it i was asked to give a coding test. It had 3 questions with 10 test cases each. I was able to pass 9 test cases in 2 of them, while in the third one i couldn’t pass a singlr test case. I’m overthinking about it and until the company tells me their decision i just wanted somebody’s opinion on it. So what do you all think?

I got the dreaded “quick chat” surprise meeting invite.. /u/SatanicSucculent CSCQ protests reddit

I got the dreaded “quick chat” surprise meeting invite.. /u/SatanicSucculent CSCQ protests reddit

.. and it turns out I actually got promoted!!

This morning, just a few minutes after I signed in, I got an unusual meeting invite from my manager for a “quick chat” at the end of the day.

After stressing all day long, almost positive it was a layoff, I hopped in the call and got the news. He said I’ve been a top performer for a recent college grad and got bumped up out of entry level. Such incredible news to hear after feeling the imposter syndrome quite a bit lately.

I’m just excited and want to spread some positive news because earlier in the day when I was still waiting for the meeting, I was allllll over these subreddits. Almost all of the posts were negative and depressing which furthered my thoughts that I was getting laid off.

Sorry for the wall of text, I’m just relieved and happy and wanted to share ♥️ YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH, YOU ARE WORTHY

Should I take a gap year after graduating? /u/Infinite_Article5003 CSCQ protests reddit

Should I take a gap year after graduating? /u/Infinite_Article5003 CSCQ protests reddit

I’m 21, I’ve been studying computer science and going to graduate end of this year. But I’m not your average comp sci student, i got into it due to my passion of creating products, but uni hasn’t been liked this, focusing on theoretical coding/math which I’m extremely bad at (Ive always been like this). I’ve barely passed most of my courses through memorization, asking many questions, and spending lots of time through brute force. I haven’t truely learnt or understood much. I don’t know, I’ve just always been like this since school, I can put lots of time into things I’m passionate about, but not efficiently or with good coding standards.

As such, I’m not confident in my abilities so I’m not looking forward to getting my first job (I’ve been on the doll). I will have like 30k in HECs, and 25k in the bank by graduation, which I’m at a crossroads of putting into HISA or ETFs but that isn’t the point of this post.

I also have had been amazed by stuff like chatgpt, I’ve kept up with all of the research and developments. It’s been a light in the tunnel, but also a dark one, for someone like me who isn’t smart. Dark in the sense that if I take a gap year, I’m almost sure ill come back to systems which are nearing the point of making me obsolete in the work force. It might not be there yet but its semantics at that point, it’ll happen in the next year or two if it isn’t.

However, it is also amazing because it can then help me to create all the ideas I have, and I could be some baby enterpreneur. I would LOVE if it worked out like this and i could finance it.

And I havent really gotten to travel. I’ve been told if I travel after graduating it’ll be harder for me to find a job afterwards. This is concerning because I’m already not confident in finding a job. And my friends and family will keep asking me what I’m doing and I just hate that, I just want to be left alone. And I genuinely think I’ll only get to work a couple of years before AI makes me pointless in the workforce. It sounds nice for me to travel for X months and come back to a different reality where i can see where my skills may be needed elsewhere. As for my travelling, I’m not sure where I’d go yet, but I’d love to backpack solo and travel on the cheapest of shoestrings. By working while I’m overseas (even though i’ve never worked before) and couch surfing, or pet sitting, or sleeping in a hamac, id hopefully limit costs so that I won’t be taking $ out of the bank. also not sure how long i could go for but the more the merrier I say? I’ll practice it in australia before before going overseas.

And most importantly, expectations of my future and my wants/needs:

I do not care to have a family, I do not care for a house, I’d much rather a hotel next to public transit in a walkable city. I don’t have a car and I don’t plan on getting one (I have my license but I just hate driving so I don’t). I really hate the rat race of society which is likely why ive not worked a day in my life or done too well at uni. How I’ve been treated while on the doll has reaffirmed this, and mental health has declined just from this idea of how people treat you differently. It’s actually made me want to work less because I’m really stubborn and if someone annoys or patronizes me I hate taking their advice. I would rather sacrifice my livelihood by living as cheaply as possible while still feeling secure by having access to necessities ie food/power/sleep then to constantly focus on money. For what? Just so I can afford to eat out, shop and buy junk or go on some extravagent travel? I’d rather cook something myself (even if I dont have many of the skills atm), only buy necessities that I really really need, or go on cheap travels and experience the country in a less touristy manner. As such, I do not really care if i get 200k, 100k or 50k as my annual income, I already don’t spend money as is (Thats how ive got 20k in the bank without working. I do live with my parents though.). All I really want and value is time, so I can focus on other parts of my life.

Also, I have like 0 life skills but im willing to learn if i’m not patronized constantly, which is the main reason I haven’t up until now. That’s a big reason why I want to travel and work overseas or live with others.

What do you think?

​r/cscareerquestions I’m 21, I’ve been studying computer science and going to graduate end of this year. But I’m not your average comp sci student, i got into it due to my passion of creating products, but uni hasn’t been liked this, focusing on theoretical coding/math which I’m extremely bad at (Ive always been like this). I’ve barely passed most of my courses through memorization, asking many questions, and spending lots of time through brute force. I haven’t truely learnt or understood much. I don’t know, I’ve just always been like this since school, I can put lots of time into things I’m passionate about, but not efficiently or with good coding standards. As such, I’m not confident in my abilities so I’m not looking forward to getting my first job (I’ve been on the doll). I will have like 30k in HECs, and 25k in the bank by graduation, which I’m at a crossroads of putting into HISA or ETFs but that isn’t the point of this post. I also have had been amazed by stuff like chatgpt, I’ve kept up with all of the research and developments. It’s been a light in the tunnel, but also a dark one, for someone like me who isn’t smart. Dark in the sense that if I take a gap year, I’m almost sure ill come back to systems which are nearing the point of making me obsolete in the work force. It might not be there yet but its semantics at that point, it’ll happen in the next year or two if it isn’t. However, it is also amazing because it can then help me to create all the ideas I have, and I could be some baby enterpreneur. I would LOVE if it worked out like this and i could finance it. And I havent really gotten to travel. I’ve been told if I travel after graduating it’ll be harder for me to find a job afterwards.

What are good excuses/reasons to explain frequent job hopping? This question kills me every time /u/lostmymainagain123 CSCQ protests reddit

Hello. 4YOE Cloud eng and finally got some interest shown in me. In my 4YOE I have had 4 separate jobs, all for about a year. These are the real reasons I left:

First job, was severely underpaid (half of market value), it was also in the gambling industry and i felt it unethical to work there

2nd job I don’t really have a good reason, I just hated every single person I worked with and managers sucked

3rd job Was magnificent, I loved working there for the first 14 or so months then the company got acquired by a parent company and they completely gutted everything, put people where they shouldn’t, stripped every benefit etc.

4th job I thought was going well, not sure how it works in other countries but in Australia you are on a ‘probation period’ for X amount of time in which you can be fired for no/any reason. 2 days before my 6 month probationary period ended I was randomly dragged into a meeting with HR and fired for ‘performance reasons’. Very suspicious as nobody had mentioned performance issues at all, I had 1-1 meetings with my EM every week where I asked how my performance was and he said good. There was also mysteriously 3 offshore engineers hired on my team the same month I was fired, but I feel it’s taboo to mention that.

Any suggestions?
