The gap between FAANG and non-FAANG salaries is quite substantial. For example, a Staff Engineer at an avg startup might get $250k base salary, in a HCOL area and maybe a 10-20% bo…

I'm looking to land a c2c contract, currently I also have a full time job and a short term contract. The short term contract will be finished by the time I start the c2c. I'm wonde…

Really? I wouldn't have thunk that this place would have contract roles. Were they w2 or c2c or 1099? The last 2 are super hard to come by. Got any tips to share on where to find s…

wowza - is it this post? [Show HN: Xs, a concatenative array language inspired by kdb+/q and forth] https://cryptm.org/xs/ How is that life anyways? I know very little about it?

I've established my own LLC and am aiming to pursue c2c or 1099 contracts through it. Though, for the most part - I am landing Software Engineering Contract roles, which is not exa…

The problem is that for senior+ interviews, you need to know things like cold starts, consistent hashing, dealing with different invalidations techniques for the cache, etc - the c…

Tough question to answer but if your network is solid - you can do stuff. I was in a similar boat, and still am, frankly, but at this point I have decided that dealing with people …

I can say with confidence that I understand most of the technical knowledge needed to succeed in these interviews, albeit it's not coming from personal experience building such sys…

Thanks for sharing this. Can you elaborate on how to use it ?

How do you find clients? Got any tips/tricks to share? I'm unemployed right now so I'll take anything.

I'm looking to improve my System Design interview skills as fast as possible. Though, the number of resources online is overwhelming. I was hoping that someone who conducts these t…

I created an LLC to start getting work as a 1099 contractor when I noticed the job market becoming what it is today in 2022. However - I seem to be stuck in this repetitive cycle: …

I am considering it because I'm not noticing a lot of benefit. Wellbutrin helped me with quitting weed and the withdrawals, and also my depression a bit, in allowing me to do thing…

I come from a household of strict parents, where if a non-optimal grade was brought home, you got punished, mostly emotionally but sometimes also physically. This pushed me to get …

Great read. Loved it.

Business Acquisitions, New Market Entries, New Waves of Technological Innovations, etc.

I saw the read15minsaday.com website that was suggested here a couple days ago. I like it a lot, however, it would be even better if there was one that provided reading materials b…

Instead of just doing interview questions, I want first to do some easy problems at the end of chapters so I can get super familiar with the data structures & algorithms. What do y…

I'm SE2. My manager just told me that sometimes I need handholding (I do disagree, but I didn't tell him that). 95% of the time I do my tasks on my own.... however, sometimes I hav…

Yes. I'm down. Would this be online...like we wouldn't both have to be physically in the same place?

Any reason you didn't mention Leetcode? I'm all over leet code right now.

For me the experience has been different. Any company that seemed interesting to me, always asked C.O.D.E & ALGORITHM questions.

That's you and me both buddy. The paranoia is always there. Which makes me really reconsider my life choices? Like, why am I in this? Thinking in long term, considering the ageism …
