Hey YOSPOS what's the best way to blast my resume out to a bunch of different companies? I'm up on Hired and I've been using Angel.co. What's the new cool job site to use?

Sweet, thanks gang. Everybody got laid off this week and they want me to "Buy In" and do 100x the work. Time to start looking right?

bob dobbs is dead posted:time to have started looking was like 2 months ago, sure Yep, I've been slowly interviewing since October to get the muscle back. Now I just need to find a company that is not a garbage fire within a 20 minute commute of my new house. I'm feeling pretty excited and optimistic right now because I don't need to question if it's time to move on.

oh boy, well the company I’m working for missed a paycheck. Time to start hitting that “search jobs” button. Imposter syndrome is high because I’ve been doing this for about 10 years but my resume looks like 2 years, 2 years, 1 year, 2 years, 2 years. Do companies care about job hopping like that?

The Management posted:missed paycheck equals no work until they catch up. sorry to hear it, good luck finding something quickly. Yep, full stop. Not so bad after I got over the initial shock and kicking myself for not seeing this coming. Got a few interviews lined up this week. Response is pretty good just need to get that interviewing muscle back!

Hey YOSPOS, I'm about to go on an interviewing run which I haven't done in ~5 years. I think I'm paid well but the only way to be sure is to get some offers in and see. Since I'm still (happily?) employed I can be a little tactical about this. Usually I sling 7 resumes a day x 5 days = 49 a week, I usually get 7 - 10 phone screens out of that but I think I want to shoot for a bigger household name company this time around.qhat posted:I hate to say this because I absolutely loving despise these questions, but if you're applying to these big companies then you should be buying and reading CTCI and doing these questions at least a month in advance. ^^^ Should I: A) Start hitting CTCI for a month and some change, then sling interviews to the bigger companies B) Sling interviews to companies I don't necessarily care about + CTCI C) Sling like crazy now but potentially be unprepared for a bigger companies interviewing process What's the best way to get that interview muscle back?

Job hunt has been pretty fun so far. Interviewing while you already have a job really takes the sting out of the current job and boosts your confidence in interviews. I should have been doing this sooner!

Dang, made it through the final interview gauntlet but they went with someone else. Learned some things to tweak. Didn’t have to wait through the weekend to hear back. On to the next one!

What are the best job boards to hit these days? I’ve been going through LinkedIn Jobs pretty hard and that’s working well but what else should I be spamming for remote work?

Assumes timed coding exercise is in Python. Opens exercise to realize it’s in JS. Tries to learn JS for 30 minutes. Sends in homework, welp onto the next one

lol, I ended up submitting incomplete JS and then just Python separately. it’s all good not my first pick or anything. It reminded me of one of my favorite YOSPOS quotes: “I find it helps to laugh when faced with the kind of situation that might have been in a first draft of Brazil but got cut for being too obviously stupid.”

Sweet, another job search comes to a close. Figgies incoming, sign-on bonus too. Negotiating made me an extra 21K for ~15 minutes of work. Everyone through the whole interview process seemed competent and enjoyable. Even though I mostly lurk this, thread and POS in general kept me sane.

I did mostly hackerrank toy problems but most of the coding stuff I did this time around was a lot more “back and forth let’s see how we get along while we tinker and spitball” vs. “solve this problem while I stay mostly silent” like I had in the past. Hopefully you have the same experience!

“If you're not intimidated it's not a step up. If you're already qualified for the job you're seeking you're not making any progress.” “The excessive compensation for programming positions is not indicative of its difficulty or value, so don't let that intimidate you if you want to pursue an easy way to earn money.” Two of my favorite quotes from this thread.

Asleep Style posted:ended up getting an offer, wasn't able to get the number I asked for but I did get them above their stated range. the final offer was the raise I was asking for from my current job drat near on the dot I’ve found as I get older that my base salary has kind of hit a ceiling so they try to entice me with bonuses and stock and poo poo to sweeten the deal. Instead I’m trying to find the highest base salary possible for the least amount of work / stress.

laid off with severance. Here we go again! Any tricks in this economy or is it still the YOSPOS mantra of 250 apps = 25 phone screens = 1 offer?
