From experience, majority of 1:1's turn into detailed status updates rather than goals and career growth. When you think about it, your goals don't change every weeks. Which is why a weekly status update on your project will alway

- When I first open my eyes on the morning I usually get most of my intellectual work done from my bed. I call it half sleepy / half awake. This is when my brain is at %200. Sometimes I resolve yesterday's issues or get new ideas.

H1b's are for skilled workers who already went to college in their respective countries. So you can take universities out of the picture. In terms of companies, think about Uber, Amazon, FB, etc. They're huge right? Well, India an

No matter what happens in the US immigration department, we already know things are moving fast in India and China. 2.5 billion people versus 60-120k H1b's per year?

I isolated myself for 5 months (unpaid) to build an app based on a simple idea I had. I went OCD on it until it was done and live. Passion took over and I really wanted to see it live. I realized a few week later that no one actually needs

I'm %100 on your side. This is how the whole hiring process works though, on both sides. The employers make it sound like a dream job and they know it's not. So... it's a complete joke and that's why the process is very

It' a non-technical way to see if it's a great fit or not. Before an interview, you should always prepare the following 3 key points: - My XXX will help your company succeed. - Your YYY will help me grow - I believe in your ZZZ X

Exactly. I think companies are looking for great candidates and great candidates are looking for jobs. Problem is - Interviewers are screwing things up! big time! One single person (an engineer of the hiring team, sometimes fresh out of col

Right now, the job market is super over crowded. There are a lot of jobs out there but too many people applying... You get a rejection on a 99/100 score (one tiny mistake and you're out), actually, even a 100/100 score someti

It reminds me the IRS scam... "I work for the IRS and you owe us taxes. Go to the closest 7 eleven and buy 10 Target Gift cards or the IRS will prosecute you. The only way to wave the charges is to BUY 10 TARGET GIFT CARDS. PM me all t

Isn't it a weird question to ask? It would be like asking What is better? Hawaii? or Ferrari? You can't compare/chose between the two.

I found out that job descriptions are often vague about the minimum requirements - like "BS or higher degree in CS". From what I've seen, HR creates a short list of candidates, this is before the hiring manager step. When a c

In theory it's not worth it. In pracrice, based on where you live in the world, I found at that it makes a tiny difference: promotion, salary, etc. Plus, if you're looking to apply for big companies like google, etc. It's man

No visa for skilled workers unless you're a European citizen already. I think France and a few other countries started implementing a special visa for skilled workers.

That's why I like HN! I could have written the exact same post (I'm not in the embbeded field though.) In your case and in order to be %100 remote, you would need to have access to a company intranet, access to the source code, be
