[ 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?

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.

I gave a coding test that had 3 questions with 10 test cases each. I passed 9 test cases in 2 questions. Will i get selected? /u/Super_Ad_1724 CSCQ protests reddit

I applied for an internship as a software developer at a startup. I had one round of face to face interview in which i was asked about development and my projects. 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?

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

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?

Any suggestions? submitted by /u/lostmymainagain123 [link] [comments]

From Python Web to Python ML? /u/PopApprehensive9968 CSCQ protests reddit

From Python Web to Python ML? /u/PopApprehensive9968 CSCQ protests reddit

I need help about making decision. Im bsc in computer science and also working with python web(Django) for about 2 years now.

I want to expand my knowledge, just to be competent in my next jobs and maybe to full switch to ML or just to have ability to use Web and ML together.

Is it worth it to start learning ML and how much time do i need to get to some ‘intermediate’ level.

Also one more question is how often do we see projects that are using ML and Web together?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

How is it for the SDETs these days? /u/osoatwork CSCQ protests reddit

How is it for the SDETs these days? /u/osoatwork CSCQ protests reddit

I was an SDET pre covid, and stupidly wanted to become a dev (didn’t want to be pigeonholed). I have a different career now (which I am honestly much better suited for), but I always wondered how things would have turned out if I had stayed on the QA side of things.

SDETs, how in demand do you find yourselves compared to the tradional devs?

Where to find low quality opportunities? Places no one wants to work I that I can get YOE from /u/ManifoldUsurpation CSCQ protests reddit

have only a 6 month contract from 2022 so I have 0 bargaining power. Right now I don’t have the luxury to pursue that 80k+ a year job. And I feel it’s very frustrating that it’s either. You climb through a mountain of bodies to get to that paycheck or you’re working at arby’s. There has to be some in between right. I’m really willing to get lowbald and even have my labor taken advantage of if I can get those years of experience. Because each month that passes by is another widening of my career gap. 20k USD a year isn’t so bad to me if it means I can list the experience on a resume.

I’m not talking about companies like revature that will try to trap you in a contract where you CANT leave. I’m more so mean companies that just have terrible reputations / extreme difficulties getting people to stay. Once i’ve had some experience from them that I can put on my resume.I can continue with my career journey.
