The migration comment has already been addressed. "Denormalization is not somthing you have to deal with in MongoDB." What do you mean exactly? If you have a piece of data, lets say an address, that exists in more than one place a

Its interesting to see how many people seem genuinely annoyed at this interview technique. I think that shows the value of it - this test does not seem aimed at testing how much of a "leet" coder you are but whether or not you can

You sound like exactly the kind of person this test is supposed to weed out: making unfounded assumptions, over-complicating things with a resentful attitude and not even completing the very basic thing that was asked of you.

> and some even play music Sorry to be harsh but if you are unable to have a conversation in a coffee shop its unlikely you will make a good developer, regardless of how well you can code. You don't have to be a loud-mouthed extrove

Oh man that part was ridiculous. Its like, you could spend a whole page talking about some guy taking a dog for a walk and talking about how he bagged up the dog poo and put it in a bin. Then say "little did I know this dog poo was act

Am I the only one who found this to be very poorly written? Its like the author keeps telling me how cool and mysterious this story is, why doesn't he just tell me the story and I'll decide if its mysterious or not? "Like a h

Exactly what kind of jobs are you applying to? Are they mostly software developer jobs? I hate these kind of white board coding questions, but if its what you need to do to get the job you want, why not just bite the bullet and practice the

Scrum rules: https://www.scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html#definition Perhaps you are right that good project managers are not too common, however, I find it easier to reason with one single manager than to reason with an en

No, compared to conventional project management, i.e. having a project manager who understands the technical aspects but also meets with the stakeholders to balance feature development with solving technical debt, it is much slower and more

Fair enough. Honestly I don't know how to help you, there are just SO many jobs that involve maths and computer science, and really most jobs you can do independently if you are good enough and have the drive/motivation for it. I

I think that most jobs that require CS & Maths knowledge will allow you to work flexibly if you find the right company/gig. I also think that you are looking at this situation the wrong-way round. There is so much more to a job tha

I might be wrong but I don't think that larger tech companies get that many more applicants for jobs than smaller companies do. Beyond FAANG I don't think there is really much more "status" around working for a large co

In my experience they typically ask you questions about the experience you've listed on your CV. If you say you have experience working with AWS, then they might ask you something like "explain what a VPC is and why is it useful?&

Are algorithm puzzles really that ubiquitous in the US? In the UK I've interviewed at dozens of companies and never once been asked to code a breadth first search or something like that. Nor have I ever heard of a developer being asked

There are not many jobs out there for jacks of all trades. Pen testing and social engineering are not necessarily separate roles but you will not likely find a job that lets you both be a pen tester and work from a defensive standpoint.

When you say "the ethical hacking cert" do you mean Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)? If so then no. In fact having it on your CV might even hurt your chances of getting a job because it is so meaningless most pen testers look at it

by world32 8y ago
The OSCP is a great goal to have and will open many doors for you. Having that cert along with experience as a junior analyst you should be able to get a job as a penetration tester or something more senior. However, there are a million and

Definitely don't go back to college to get a CS degree. At this point in your career the only thing employers want to know about is your previous job experience. I have a bachelors degree in computer science and have never once been as

Ok, so that conversation sounds pretty reasonable, you said "OK, I'll give it my best shot, but don't expect too much.", then proceeded to give it a shot and actually succeeded at debugging it. So... whats the problem?

After a certain amount of time (my guess is around 5 years experience) software engineers tend to experience diminishing levels of returns when it comes to productivity over years of experience. The difference between an SWE with 5 years ex

It sounds like the problem was not your ability to debug ruby code to but your reaction to them asking you to do it. You almost sound outraged that they dared to ask you to debug some ruby code. A better candidate would have just calmly pro

Honestly it sounds like you are happy in your current role. Don't just change jobs because you feel you have to (i.e. to "get out of your comfort zone"). Also based on what you've written, it sounds like the Azure archit
