Programming

I recently had a Zoom interview with LinkedIn. It was 1-hr long. The interviewer spent 40-mins into behavior questions and in the last 20-mins pasted the MaxStack (LC Hard) into CoderPad and asked me to implement all 5-methods. I knew the problem so it wasn't an issue for me, but I tried to strike a conversation and wanted to make sure that I understood the problem correctly. The interviewer wouldn't speak a word or engage in any conversation.

After I write the perfect MaxStack that I can write with my eyes closed, the interviewer wrote in my feedback that my code wasn't appropriate! I am seriously lost at interviews now. What is the expectation these days?

So yall know how it is. Wake up, roll over, jump into meetings, check status of things, bla bla and then get to work proper. Well it was just at that point that I got a message from one of the ladies in the office, saying she was in the phone with someone at a payment processing company and that after she entered what the payment processing agent told her to into Google search, her computer for locked up and she couldn't do anything. I was very confused and wondering wtf she could have done to lock up her PC by a Google search and from a rep by a reputable company at that. Then another lady in the offices says "it's telling us to contact Microsoft support and to not shut off the computer". My heart literally sank. So So I remote in and indeed am met with the typical bs "your computer is locked, contact Microsoft etc". So right away I reset the PC and move on.

Then I began inquiring as to how this happened and was told that the payment processing company employee told them to go to Google, search for a specific term, then click the first link. Google autocorrected thinking it was spelled wrong, then offered up a very similar looking url. I even stared at the page myself wondering wtf was going on and if this very well known payment processing company had been hacked or something until I noticed it was comin from AWS, which is not where it normally comes from.

ARGHHHHHHHHH

You all know the rest. Google is so ducked I can't even put it into words. It is astounding, that for all the information erasure and manipulation that they do, it is somehow beyond then to not fucking serve spam, malware, scam links.

I have half a mind to just block Google.com

I really don't want to give the impression like I'm attention seeking, but I'll risk it anyway. Getting into IT without the proper degree is very difficult, nowadays especially. This community on this sub helped me a lot (on another account) and I wanted to give something back.

I finally started working. Today was my first day. I took me 1 year and 2 months starting from zero to here. , I'll keep it like this for now for those that are curious what it looked like when I landed my first job. Some people said it's good, but I also know a lot of you here are miles ahead of me.

For more info, I started with an on-site bootcamp and wasn't hired on completion. Then self-learning, making sure I understood everything the company taught me. Then trying to make something relevant for me, something useful, where I'm both the client and developer ... then going back to the company that taught me (they didn't want me again). 6 months of sending out applications, almost no responses, never any positives. Then I filmed myself showing what I can do and posted it in relevant places (FB group, subreddit, linkedin). Got very lucky and a lot of people shared it around and eventually somebody offered me an opportunity to come work for them.

I think it also helped that I'm from a smaller country and wasn't shooting for the big international firms with a bazillion applicants.

I am just, SO so relieved I am finally working.

Entro a LinkedIn solo para ver si hay alguna oferta laboral piola, y solo encuentro posteos basuras de tips totalmente berretas, en Facebook al menos veo algunos memes piolas de grupos o paginas que sigo, en cambio en LinkedIn solamente veo spam de gente o recluiters que se quiere hacer los cultos escribiendo gansadas, y lo que mas bronca me da son los comentarios de otros giles celebrando su pelotudes diciéndoles "excelente reflexión", "gran análisis","te felicito"

Las "reflexiones" o "tips" para "mejorar" junto a sus 500 recomendados y comentarios felicitándolos por haber copiado y pegado la misma pelotudes me tienen las bolas por el piso, habrá alguna manera de filtrar y que solo vea propuestas laborales?
