   I'm pretty sure that computers were around 30 years ago, including in banking. While smartphones are a newer development and I do use mine all the time, I can't say that it has any serious impact on my work that would not be achi

   My Mac is provided by my work. I work in finance doing infrastructure for retail banking. Tell me again how VR is going to help me for deploying networks and clusters and turning off my camera in video calls whilst I go on Reddit

    So I'm an engineer at my org. I'd never want to work for Facebook. If I'm interviewing you then yes I will ask you why you chose to work there when by definition you had other options.

    A little but I wouldn't want to dox myself. Essentially I'd been doing some related stuff as a byline in my previous career as well as some enthusiast stuff and private freelancing. I cashed out and did some dedicated study to fil

    I'd put a slightly different spin on it- sure, junior positions will be automated and commoditfied, but I don't see senior salaries going down. There's a key difference between software engineers and doctors: No matter how go

    My resume is 9 pages but I only supply it on request. Potential employers find me on LinkedIn. Automatic keyword matching leads to longer resumes. I'm afraid your approach is very much in the minority.
