Anyone else feel grateful to their first hiring manager for willing to give you a chance? /u/LyleLanleysMonorail CSCQ protests reddit

Leaving my first hiring manager has been hard because he’s been a great manager overall, but most of all, I just feel so grateful to him for willing to give me a chance when I was constantly getting rejected left and right. I’ve paid back by working hard, for sure, and I’ve gotten great performance reviews.

I’m off to greener pastures now, and I feel sad for leaving , but also tremendously grateful. There can be 100 people in the room and 99 don’t believe in you, but all it takes is just one person.

This isn’t really a question but just an expression of gratitude. So thanks to all the hiring managers in the world willing to give a chance.

Do companies send fake recruiting feelers as a loyalty test? /u/sd2528 CSCQ protests reddit

The head of our business unit announced his retirement this week. Another (non-technical) employee resigned shortly after.

Yesterday, for the first time ever on this number, I got a text message from a recruiter at another company.

The circumstances don’t smell right.

People often preface they’re not a lawyer when giving legal advice. So why would CS students not preface their lack of experience when giving career advice? /u/ExpWebDev CSCQ protests reddit

It would solve several problems, but mainly would answer the question “how did they think that was a reasonable response?” with “ohhh now I see”

[Breaking] Amazon to layoff 14,000 managers /u/cs-grad-person-man CSCQ protests reddit

https://news.abplive.com/business/amazon-layoffs-tech-firm-to-cut-14-000-manager-positions-by-2025-ceo-andy-jassy-1722182

Amazon is reportedly planning to reduce 14,000 managerial positions by early next year in a bid to save $3 billion annually, according to a Morgan Stanley report. This initiative is part of CEO Andy Jassy’s strategy to boost operational efficiency by increasing the ratio of individual contributors to managers by at least 15 per cent by March 2025.

This initiative from the tech giant is designed to streamline decision-making and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles, as reported by Bloomberg.

Jassy highlighted the importance of fostering a culture characterised by urgency, accountability, swift decision-making, resourcefulness, frugality, and collaboration, with the goal of positioning Amazon as the world’s largest startup.

How do you think this will impact the company ?

Should I continue doing it or drop it and get back to doing what I like to do? /u/armedrossie CSCQ protests reddit

I am about to complete my 4th sem, enrolled in a specialization program of ML. I am also taking an external course Andrew Ng’s one. As I was going through this course, I realized I am not too excited to open my laptop and start studying it. I started with pace but my interest kind of dwindled along the way. Maybe I realized I’ve too much to do in this domain before I can see any significant progress.
Now this was not the case with when I started doing development in my first year, I have done web development, created some good projects. I am still working on one of my projects {Flask, MySQL, Next.js} and I’ve so many ideas regarding this, and want to continue working on it. I feel like doing development or writing up code is more interesting and likeable to me. I want to try embedded systems too, and in the upcoming summer break my friend suggested that we should get our hands dirty with flutter too to see how it feels to be doing native development.
I guess my problem is, I like to see my immediate progress that’s why I like doing development where I can write 100-200 LOC and can see the code doing something and get assurance that yes it is working but with ML I am not sure what I am hoping to gain or see. But since I am only in 4th sem, I’ve two more semester to exhaust all my potential domain options, so by the end of 6th sem I’ll be sure about what I want to continue with for the placement or for later on job options. Is this okay approach or I am seeing at everything the wrong way?

Stuck in career limbo /u/such_it_is CSCQ protests reddit

Been SWE for 7y now and really I should have moved to another role or management if I ever had the opportunity in any of the companies I’ve worked for. However due to lack of luck or bad company choices I never got promoted to anything or had chance to try another role internally (as there never were any) so I kept job hopping every 1-2y to promote myself.

Now I hate grinding LC every year just to end up missing getting in any good company out of bad luck like hiring freezes and at the same time no matter how much I grind I just don’t feel like I’m that good at it, I’m just not genetically predisposed for leetcode. Also I’m getting older so all young new engineers can easily out-LC me.

However I find myself stuck now in a company that I’m just a SWE who was hired to support a time zone and write unit tests all day and is very clear the team don’t have intention of promoting me or helping me do anything else because it’s in their interest to keep me where I am so I provide support.

Needless to say I don’t see myself staying longterm as it’s basically a dead end job. And I hate that I grinded LC to the best of my abilities just to end up doing this.

So the only option I have now is apply as SWE in big tech and then internally move to roles that require less coding, but in order to get there I have to grind LC and most likely fail or do something else?

Job market is also absolutely terrible right now,

Any advice?
