Do you need H1B sponsorship? If so, you're screwed. If not, then you're in competition with a LOT of people. The developer market is over saturated in the US since coding became mainstream with Obama and stuff...Everyone is learni

In 1999 Amazon created a program that would look at your purchase history and recommend you new books. That's a great example of AI in the real world. In 2016, investors decided to make AI a new priority (it kinda was there for ever).

In 1996 The FED was calling the Internet an "irrational exuberance" because the global economy wasn't doing well. Then, 3 major events led to the crash. This is why the bubble burst: - 1997 Asian crisis - 1998 Russian crisis

From experience, here's a few things you need to know: - the job market is horrible in 2017, too many people are applying and the competition is crazy. Especially if you've been unemployed for a little while it'll be a red fl

It depends what you're looking for. In the tech industry, a lot of employers offer top-notch health benefits. If you want to match that on the market, prices are comparable. If you're looking for a standard health plan then I&#x27

Here is what I'd do if I were you. You should look at how much your current premium would cost if you were to switch to COBRA (when you leave your job, your current employer is required by law to maintain your health coverage for up to

No and no. Though, I'd love to take time to thank each individual for their positive impact in my life. You should probably focus on that... A list is too formal, not personal and I don't see any benefits in making that list publi

It's like hiring your own manager. Make it look like a weekly 1-1 meeting. Expose the project you're working on right now to see if he can get his hands dirty and understand your pain points, etc. See where he could be technically

It's not just about "you should code like that because that's how we code here" type of problems. That makes you, the arrogant person in the story. You should create a list of bugs generated by his code. If the list is s

Indeed, I'd be fine if it was only one algo question in the whole process. Unfortunately we're talking about one, sometimes 2 technical phone screens. Then 4-5 tehnical interviews onsite. You have to deal with data structures&#x2F

Here is a tip for you - line up as many interviews as you can from companies you aren't necessarily super jazzed about. Take a full month and go through all the painful process. You will probably fail a lot, at least for the first mont

I'm just curious, how do you evaluate stress during an interview? It's usually a 1-1 situation between 2 developers. How do you describe stress during a 1-1 chat? If the candidate has a shaky voice? Or shaky hands? How do you put

Apply. Then, ask the recruiter, he or she will answer your questions during a 30 minute chat on the phone. It's the first step of the process. If you make it onsite you'll get a tour of the office and will be able to ask tones of

I see that you're located in the UK. In Europe the hiring process is much different than in the San Francisco Bay Area for instance. Here it's crazy, we don't hire software engineers, we hire "developers" instead, w
