yeah because it’s used to automatically push stuff to certain repos it has a huge rep on the site, hence it gets all the recruiter spam

I got poached from GE Healthcare and threw the “holy poo poo” salary out and they bit on it. then two years later the company I went to crumbled and went to hell due to an entirely incompetent CEO, but I stacked paper for a while and my paychecks didn’t bounce. now I’m unemployed due to a new and somehow even more incompetent CEO so I guess the real pay check is the friends we make along the way. should have stayed at GE for less figgies but such is life.

need you guy's opinion was interviewing for a generalist software engineering position in a cool company had lots of questions about networking, video streaming, what i've done, etc it was going well for 55 minutes then the last 5 minutes, got what they literally called a "curveball question", followed by another, followed by another which totally destabilized me. question was along the lines of "what would you recommend to someone starting c++?". then "what is a dynamic_recast?", then "what happens in c if you do printf("%d %d", 2) and forget an argument" totally messed up. the thing is, c++ is not really my forte. what i use on a daily basis is javascript. however i hosed up because c++ is first on my list of skills on my cv, even though i am very aware of the fact that it is not my strongest. i have different versions of my cvs and i try to calibrate them for the position that i apply to, and i must have sent them the embedded cv (which is where i got my bachelor actually) how hosed am i?

maybe they wanted to gauge just how well you know lovely details their terrible apps rely on maybe they're all incredibly bad at hiring maybe interviewing is garbage

It's a crapshoot. They might just want to see how you handle a curve ball and they might be trying to have a smart guy competition to see if you know language trivia. If it's the 2nd one consider it a bullet dodged imo

If it's the 2nd one consider it a bullet dodged imo is dynamic_recast language trivia? reading about it it feels like it's pretty essential advanced c++ knowledge i'm not looking for comfort, i want the cold hard truth. if i hosed up i need to know and embrace the job interview hell for a next time

if they spent the last 5 minutes on it they probably don't care but ran out of good questions imo, and "well it's been a while since i wrote c++, but..." is a legit answer and better than either blanking out or trying to bluff, again imo

go play outside Skyler posted:need you guy's opinion they should be doing a coding test instead of trivia, but if those are basic c++ questions its not entirely unreasonable. You'd be amazed at how often simple questions weed out candidates. if you don't know c++ that well maybe don't put it on your resume or at the very least give it some level of context like "entry/basic/advanced level knowledge of c++"

Loads of people out circles next to a list of languages to communicate relative competence. IMO it's not terrible because saying you're 10/10 at c++ implies a lot, but having 3 circles by c++ Vs 2 by javascript just means you think you're better at it.
