if you work at apple, there's a nonzero chance you'll get stuck in one of the many many teams where you're expected to answer 3am emails in 2 hours or your boss will yell at you appreciably higher suicide rate than the rest of the tech industry, i think

that is essentially the setup I'm in now but with a little more space between "desks" and rows that aren't as long I thought I could deal, but it's hell and I've started taking anti anxiety meds mostly due to how stressful an environment it is

reminder that that brand new apple campus not only is too unique to resell space in but also has no day care space planned at all

qhat posted:Had a car crash phone interview today. Was asked to talk about some C++ code I'd written on Tuesday but no longer had access to (it was written on a website), but failed completely to answer some of the questions because I didn't have the code in front of me. You should go to a bootcamp op, I hear they are amazing Condiv posted:you can't learn good programming from a bootcamp, and considering the prices they charge, you should be able to. worse, the schedule they have you follow means what little they do teach you will not end up sticking. Ccs posted:The way it was explained to me by a friend who took a Ruby on Rails bootcamp and now works in tech in NYC is that bootcamps basically teach the foundational comp sci classes (programming, data structures and algorithms) in the span of 8-12 weeks, combined with more programming practice and interview training than universities usually provide. Ccs posted:There are still bootcamps that offer refunds or take from salary so those are the only legit ones. Ccs posted:Yeah but the refund approach at least shows they're confident that the people who complete the program are job ready. Which is what people attend these things for. And there's currently not really an accredidation system for short-term job preparation systems. Coding is one of the few disciplines that it actually works for. Most other skills take a lot longer to master enough to actually find employment.

lol plenty of coding bootcamps are ran by partnerships of companies and you're just paying for your own training, and they can just hire the people that are successful rather than firing low performers later on people praise something that basically demonstrates that lots of companies could just hire a variety of people and train them for the job but only executives and skilled union labor get to train on the job now

People would ask them to stop and they'd get all embarrassed, but then they'd eventually start up again because they weren't aware they were doing it.

Lol if you think offices will be around for much longer, at my job (which is excellent) the next building we move into doesn't even have offices allocated for the execs. They have their own agile space but that's it - I think the CIO has a glass office maybe? In other industries sure but in 5 years IT will either be working in agile space or working from home.
