| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:57 PM PST You get an offer letter. The offer letter has your specified work location. They will try to honor what the offer letter says, but if there are no clients in that area then there is nothing they can do. Everyone there's offer letter said working in Raleigh. But then a "Director" (don't know his official title, but someone above managers) came in and said he needs a few people to volunteer to be open to moving anywhere in the US. Some people signed leases and will have a hard time to get out of them if they are forced to move (pro tip: if you're going to work for infosys, don't sign a 12 month lease in your training city). Some people already hauled their life to Raleigh and don't want to do it again. Infosys offers a lease breakage assistance, but that has a limit. It probably won't cover a 3000 dollar lease break fee. Kind of dubious on their part to state a work location then change it. They do offer relocation assistance for moving to Raleigh for the training. Also to moving to other states for projects. Our training batch had two sections: data analytics and software development / maintenance. They assign you to a group, but you have the option to change groups (within reasonable limits of keeping both classes even). You will be taught everything from the ground up. Everyone will be brought to the same level. Yes I studied computer science and will be going over basic java stuff (kill me now). My guess is, the software development group will be doing a lot more maintenance than development, but that's just my guess. Who knows. There are multiple sectors that Infosys works in. Pretty much anyone that needs help in a software space, they are willing to take on that client and build something for them. You won't be doing anything innovative/cutting-edge. It will be closer to cookie-cutter software (but tailored for the client). Infosys hires anyone with a pulse it seems. There are computer science graduates from top universities, masters grads, information systems management majors, math majors. [The reality is] most of us didn't get any other offers, so we accepted this consulting job. Though this is not true for everyone. Some people wanted to keep their life simple and accepted the first job offer they got. I know I tried for all the big tech companies, but those jobs seem more scarce than they look. But anyway, most of us are just happy to have a job, even if it is cookie-cutter style. I think we are all the same exact salary too. No, they don't hire only Indians (whoever is propagating that this is a visa factory for them). It's actually a really diverse group. And they don't discriminate on age or race. Of course there are more males than females, but thats the reality of the IT space. And yes they are all US citizens (at the associate level at least). There are three types of infosys workers: offsite, onsite and the in-between. Offsite workers are in India and build software for anyone in the world. Onsite are workers that go to the company's offices and work for them there. The in-between are what these Infosys hubs in the US are. The clients are nearby, but you will be working out of these hub offices. You may work in a hub, or you may go to the clients office. Depends on the project. They do not house you for the duration of the training. Only for a week, after that you have to find a place to stay. Bring your car if you can. This isn't new york city and pretty much anywhere in the US (except NYC) you need a car. IDK how people came down here and expected it different. In-between assignment you are on bench and expected to pick up a book and learn new technologies. Or you can volunteer for short-term assignments. Most assignments will be 1-2 years long so you don't switch often. Surprisingly you get a lot of vacation. 10 holidays. 10 vacation days. Sick leave. Standard healthcare. No 401k match. This information is subject to change. It's not like I have been working with them for 5 years, its just what they told us. So take it with a grain of salt. It's only been a few days, but I wish I had this information before starting. Upvote this for the other poor suckers who don't know anything about the job they just accepted. You're welcome.

| So here's my postmortem after hunting for a data science job. Posted: 10 Jan 2018 10:29 AM PST I'm tired of all the Medium thought pieces on how to become a data scientist because they don't reflect the reality of getting a relevant job from the applicant's side. And it's hard, especially without a Masters/PhD. The new 2017 trend for tech hiring is companies giving both a take-home assignment and an algorithm test before the on-site. And it's never a weighted average where doing well on the take-home can account for a weaker algorithm performance; it's always pass/fail. What's worse is that even for the data science positions, I rarely received questions related to data/statistics/linear algebra, just how to implement these low-level algorithms like binary search and Markov chains. And having any bugs in the whiteboard code is a fail. It's especially disappointing because the take-home assignments are often better/accurate assessments of data science work on-the-job. (assuming the assignment is a reasonable length/scope: one of my homework assignments took 16 hours) If I had taken 2 years to get a Master's degree, then maybe things would have been easier. But at the current rate of change in data science hiring trends, companies which want Master's/PhDs now would require only PhDs by the time I would graduate. And having a PhD in Statistics wouldn't help at all for the silly algorithmic questions anyways. Data science/machine learning has had a massive amount of hype lately, and in my personal opinion the hype is justified. And with all the free software and education readily available, there has never been a better time to learn. Unlike software engineering, there are proportionally much fewer data positions available. The flip side to greater accessibility of data science is greater gatekeeping, and it's entirely possible that data science job hunting will become even more difficult in the future. In fact, a few fellow Carnegie Mellon grads recently contacted me asking how to break into data science. I was sorry to admit that I didn't have any data science job hunting advice other than to manage expectations accordingly. And have a little luck too. And it's not the kind of luck you can manipulate with machine learning. (This is a reposting of my Twitter thread, which has gotten a lot of traction/discussion) [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:01 AM PST Hello im in my first web developer job in Spain. I wanted to be a systems programmer but due to lack of options nearby i was kind of forced to be employed in the typical PHP wordpress shop. The people are all nice but there is a problem. We only have 3 actual developers including me, and as a fresh grad even for me their code looks absolutely horrible, and any change or improvement i suggest in order to not embarass ourselves is answered with "look you have to understand the company vision, and the user experience" etc generic answers But im not being rude to them or nitpick.Im talking about stuff like
Any kind of abstraction i suggest is consired a lack of understanding the functionality required or too confusing to ever work. One example, they want to process a list customer data. Their list is an array of arrays with keys like name = "John" which they import, but then it bugs out silently if anything is not of the exact required form. Instead i suggest that they do a customer class, and a customer container class to enforce They answered that its ridiculous and will only slow dev time and cause a lot of errors. The boss is in on this by making me implement useless things on the websites like 3-4 fb share buttons or 2 parallax that lags a mordern i5 laptop. And they actually brag about their UX knowledge and speak to each other like deeply analyzing customer behavior...whereas they're saying stuff like "We know the user needs to immediately have 2 share buttons because of x psychological reason". The only thing keeping me is that the 2 developers were sent temporarily for a partner startup project and im the only one currently here so they will crash if i leave. Wat do...help.Am i wrong?

| Complains about my results at work, how can I be a better Developer? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 12:53 PM PST (throwaway account sorry) I'm 25 and I have a bachelor degree in computer science, a master in CS and 4 years and half of work experience as Backend programmer. I consider myself not as a Junior, but neither as a Senior, a middle way in that. I'm proficient both in programming and System Engineering. I currently work at a Startup in Europe, today I attended a reunion with lead dev, CEO and CTO, where they said my current job performance is not best in the last 6 months and they declared a bad feedback. They complain about my last works. In particular, a project that was a big architectural change in the application and integration of an external service. I did this work with a bit late (2-3 weeks late from the 2 months prospected) and since we were rushing out with implementation the result wasn't the best. Also, I sought out help and advice from the lead dev on some questions and for track metrics of the overall project where I should have done on my own. I didn't forecast how to track the metrics on this work. There aren't any critical bug, although the lead dev is not really happy with the overall quality. The said they were expecting a senior work, since I'm working with them for a year and a half, and an overall view of the whole project and I didn't meet this expectation. They said me I have to be less superficial with my work otherwise they will fire me. Currently, I don't really love my current job and I'm seeking for new opportunities. We are a startup always integrating external services and it's a bit boring for me and so I ended up demotivated. I can't deny this project end up as a half fail on time and results because of me, but the project was big and I did it all on my own without other people helping me. Now even if I'm looking for another job I want to impress them and not be fired and grow as a person. I've got this feedback and it's fine, it's better a bad feedback than no feedback at all. I suppose other people in this subreddit happened to a situation like this one. What have you done? What would you do? How can I be a senior Developer? Quit is not an option, I want to stay and become a better person and developer. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Any self-taught software engineers from and working in a third world country ? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:33 PM PST What stack are you working with? Has the lack of a CS degree affected you when trying to climb up through your career? And how long did it take you to get yourself into the industry ? Please be thorough. PS. I've posted this before, but I haven't gotten many responses. Maybe I'll have better luck this time. [link] [comments]  |

| Exploding offer vs. Host matching Posted: 10 Jan 2018 05:25 PM PST Pretty much the title. I'm a sophomore at a target school that has an Amazon SDE internship offer that explodes tomorrow. However, I also still have 3-4 weeks in the host matching process for Google SE internship. I'd definitely prefer Google over Amazon, but I'd also prefer Amazon over sitting on my ass at home. I've already asked for an extension, but instead of granting/denying my recruiter just asked what companies I was also interviewing with. Does anyone have any opinions on accepting, declining, accepting then reneging, or some other unforeseen option? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:37 PM PST What motivates (or motivated) you to pursue your education in CS/ career as a developer? Do you enjoy the money? Does pursuing a degree give you a sense of accomplishment? Are you working to contribute to a noble cause? Did your parents pressure you into it? I'm solely motivated by the money to purchase food and freedom to travel. What about you? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 11:55 AM PST I've done super well in school, have done several side projects, and have an internship this Summer and most likely a job in the Fall after I graduate this Summer. However, I spent a ton of money on a music degree from a really nice music school. Yeah, I know, I was 17 when I made this decision. So I'm wondering what the best side gigs could be so I could make some good money working maybe 20 hours a week in addition to my actual job. I love teaching so I was thinking about Udemy or even somehow doing a little bit of teaching at my local college if that was possible. While my music degree was a waste for the most part I did do some pretty impressive stuff and worked with some bigger names in Los Angeles, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do with that and programming, besides the little audio plugins I already make. I checked the rules but I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times. [link] [comments]  |
| How good do I need to be to become a (remote) android developer? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:09 AM PST I have been learning programming on my one for a while now(quite a lot of stuff like android, webdev like html, css, javascript, bootstrap, react, nodejs , express, and machine learning), but I'm most confident in android development because I have coded several apps and published it on the play store(a podcast app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bbr.podcast and a youtube popup player: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bbr.musicstreamer) and I think both are fairly complecated(they are not just text displaying apps, they fetch data from a api, have complex UI and implement media playback), can I put these projects in my resume and expect a chance in finding a (preferably remote) job?

| Am I asking for too high of a raise? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 11:46 AM PST I've searched around and read other posts on raises but wanted to get some advice on my personal situation. Throwaway for obvious reasons. I live in a high COL metro area (not SF or NY, but similarly high) and started out with my current company about 15 months ago with a base salary of $90k plus annual bonus between 3-15% depending on performance. Prior to that I had about 2 years of post college experience at other companies as well as tech internships during school. I definitely realize now I should have negotiated more initially, but unfortunately like many others was just excited to find a great job I really like. I have my annual review coming up and want to ask for a raise because I'm pretty sure I'm pretty underpaid for my area, experience, and specific company (if it matters I'm also a female...). Based on my glassdoor research and calculations I should be making closer to 110k. Based on public information in our company the range for my position's salary puts my current salary below the median. I routinely get contacted by recruiters for positions at this salary, but am mostly happy at my job other than salary so have not pursued any of those opportunities. My concern is that asking for 110k is about a 20% raise. My performance has been good and my boss has had no complaints but due to some coworker issues (highly competitive, workaholics) I expect to receive an above average but not stellar review (since we are reviewed against each other). Given a very good but maybe not stellar annual review is asking for this much of a raise unreasonable? If so what would be a better number? If not how should I go about it? This will be my first time trying to ask for a raise (other raises have come from switching jobs in the past) TLDR: Considering asking for a 20% raise at annual review, expecting good but not amazing review, is this reasonable? EDIT: Definitely planning to ask for something, but trying to get some realistic advice about whether what I'm asking for is reasonable or I should adjust my expectations/requests [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:12 PM PST The company started small but grew in the last few years. We are 20 people now, owners included. The company restructured itself 3 years ago, and I was left out of virtually every international project. I was the best with the tech used in those projects, I was the only dev who spoke english (we live in spain), and yet, I was left out. I was only called in when work on those projects was too much or it was something they were having trouble with. Eventually I got promoted, I was put in charge of other devs. Now I'm finding out that the company will soon re-structure again. This time, we are starting a couple of projects in-house, and the owners are betting a lot on them. Part of this change means that I'll lose my "pm" position. In addition, I'm being pushed out of my usual workspace into a sort of open-space (virtually next to the company door!). The company has two, really nice open spaces which are half-full at the moment. They provide tranquility and privacy at the same time. One of the devs working with me will be moved there, as will also one other pm who's currently struggling, and because there's still space and lots of work to do, the company will hire another dev that will also be placed there. Me, on the other hand, get to be stuck on who-knows-what project, in a room shared by 4 or 5 other people, and lost whatever leadership role I had. At least I'm not losing my salary, I'll just go back to being a developer. The owner who's pushing for this, on the other hand, has decided to take charge of all the developers in the company. The owner said to me that "he was counting a lot on me for these projects, even if just for ideas and not necessarily for coding". A few hours later, I was told by a really good source what his real thoughts were, so I'm disgusted at this... Is there something I can do to change this? I don't want to become "friends" or "intimate" with the company owner, and I hate the fact he rewards women only if they do that with him... Please don't tell me I have to quit, because I like the job, and I hate being defeated like this. Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| What does a growth engineer do? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:45 PM PST I have seen quite a few companies having a growth team now, does it involve any specific domain knowledges? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:26 PM PST Now I know unpaid internships are a ripoff but how about low paying ones? I am in Florida and I will probably graduate August 19 so I don't have much time. I have a phone screen for a company for a position called Computer Science Intern I looked up on glassdoor and the only thing I could really find is $13 per hour strangely enough under the same company there was a position called Software Engineer Intern that paid 19-21 and another called Software Development Intern that was $15 I'm not trying to be greedy but I don't want to waste my time either, it seems like in Florida has a lot of these lower paying internships I'm not sure how to find the "good ones" [link] [comments]  |
| Questions about Associates/Bachelor degrees Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:22 PM PST My community college only offers CIS degrees, thinking its not worth it as im only interested in CS. So im considering on just doing a university transfer instead of getting that associates so I can go on ahead for the CS bachelor at a state university. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| I need help choosing between two offers (new grad, full time). Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:57 PM PST I have two offers right now and I don't know what I should take. I am trying to weigh the two in terms of work life balance, salary/compensation, passion, and most importantly future career growth potential. First I have Blue Origin. I love rockets and space and stuff so this is a cool job for me. I'd love to work on space stuff. Work life balance is also better but they still work 50+ hr/week, not much better than Tesla. I also want to see New Glenn launch but few people know about Blue outside of aerospace and that takes away from the "wow" factor which I think is pretty important to future job prospects. But correct me if I'm wrong. They're offering me 115k in Seattle. Second is Tesla. Now I don't give a flying fuck about cars or clean energy. I mean curing climate change is cool but not for a career. But they offered me a position on Autopilot and that's pretty fucking dank. I think this is great for job prospects because everyone thinks Elon is great and wants to suck his dick (I worked for SpaceX it's all hype lol). Someone told me Apple will give any engineer who works on Autopilot 50k sign on bonus and 50% salary bump. Now I'm not planning on jumping ship to Apple or anywhere because that's just not something I'd do and I want to get a good amount of experience at a first job. But this does show that Tesla is a hyped up brand and that has meaning to me. They offered me 110k to work in Palo Alto. PS To all the companies who rejected me immediately without giving me the time of day because my GPA was too low: AirBNB, Amazon, AMD, Bloomberg, Dropbox, Facebook, Fetch, Github, Hulu, Intel, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Northrop, NVidia, Planet Labs, Rethink, Square, and Virgin Galactic... you done fucked up lolol [link] [comments]  |
| One year of formal education, hired full time as a java developer Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:50 PM PST I was hired in July 2017 as a software engineer at a fairly small company. I have one year of freshmen level introductory courses in computer science and did some self guided tutorials on websites like udemy. I surprisingly got an offer but I feel extremely unsure of my abilities and I don't feel like I can do this job adequately with my lack of knowledge. My 'mentor' really doesn't give me any kind of feed back or anyone else for that matter... So I'm really not sure what they think of my performance so far but I'm sorta scared to find out. I hear about people getting hired from coding bootcamps with even less education than I have, so it does happen I guess. I suppose the reason I'm posting here is because I would like some advice about where to go from here in terms of increasing my knowledge about software engineering and maybe some advice about what to expect and look out for when first starting out. My first couple months I was extremely overwhelmed with looking at such a massive project that's been around for years and I don't know if I was asking the right questions or seeing the right things... tldr; need some advice for a very intro level software developer who was hired 6 months ago... not feeling very confident in my abilities right now [link] [comments]  |
| Summer Tech Analyst or Software Engineer Intern? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:02 PM PST Goldman Sachs in dallas pays $31 while online ticket exchange company in SF pays $40. Which would you choose and why? I feel like GS has a more prestigious name than the ticket company but im just assuming. [link] [comments]  |
| How have you proved to (prospective) employers that you've 'leveled up' in your career? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 11:58 AM PST I'm a few years (6) into my career now and I've learned a lot. When I go looking at potential new jobs, I read the description and think "yeah I can do all of that no problem." Then comes the resume review and interview and I go through the same process each time, describing the same things on my resume[1] and website, hitting all the job description bullet points. But this doesn't seem to work very well. My question is: what are some of your experiences proving to employers that you are ready for an upward career move? For example, going from software developer to senior developer or architect. [1]: I'm thinking a portfolio with executive summaries of projects (like artists and photographers have) would be more effective than a resume. I swear every interview I've had, it's like the interviewer didn't even read my resume. [link] [comments]  |
| When do you actually get the housing stipend? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:29 PM PST This is my first time receiving a housing stipend as part of an internship offer. One is offering me 2k and the other 3k. After accepting an offer when do you actually get the housing stipend. Also are housing stipends taxed? will I get the full 2k/3k amount or less than that because of taxes? I don't feel comfortable asking the recruiter when I will get the stipend when I haven't accepted their offer yet. I want to give the impression that I just care about money. [link] [comments]  |
| Computer Science major (undergrad) for UX design/ 3D/ VR? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:23 PM PST Hi there, I'd really appreciate some help from people in CS. I'm currently a 3rd year student at a large, STEM-focused top 10 public uni. I want to develop a career in UX design, mostly the visual side. My school doesn't have a degree geared towards UX, but a major called Digital Arts & Sciences (DAS) is offered in the Computer Engineering dept. It's based in comp sci w/ a focus on Comp Aided Animation/ Modeling, and has classes on HCI. [The school doesn't offer industrial design as a degree either]. My (new) major is Digital Arts and Sciences in my school's college of Arts (the Arts program version focuses more on animation/ game design). If I continue in this program I would want to get a minor in Comp Engineering to strengthen my skills set/ make me more marketable. I have wide interests but ultimately I'd like a career in design. I would like to design not just interfaces – but physical objects like medical devices, mobile/ tech devices, cars… even consumer products. I'm also interested in working in healthcare doing 3D modeling and surgery simulations, etc. I really want a creative career where I use my knowledge of science and technology to create solutions that benefit others. I can't help feeling like I should get a technical degree [to get jobs/ internships]. I think I should switch to DAS in engineering, or Computer Science and possibly take some electives related to 3D animation. But I don't think I have a passion for Comp Sci, to be honest. I'm mostly pursuing it because it's stable and coding skills are valuable in any field. I enjoy coding & I've taught myself a few languages on (codecademy, edX etc) but I don't code in my free time.[But I don't even draw or have hobbies like I used to]. I did poorly on a C++ course I took also. So basically, I want a career in design but I think comp sci would give me job stability/ good work/ life balance, and it can help me in UX design or any other field. I don't know if I'll love the UX field or if I might lose my job because visual interfaces become conversational [or some other reason], and I have so many interests. So since it's such a widely accepted field, I'm thinking I should do a CS degree. But I don't think I'm passionate about CS or coding. I ultimately want to be an artist who works in design and engineering. So would CS be a better option, since my interests are still broad? Or should I focus on a design-oriented degree early? Please.... any insight will be helpful. [link] [comments]  |
| I have a decision to make. Three months bootcamp after graduation or keep trying to apply for jobs Posted: 10 Jan 2018 11:48 AM PST I graduated recently(December 2017) and so far the only offer I've gotten is to join this three month bootcamp ( they pay minimum wage during these three months ). Now I really don't want to take this. I just finished school and I want to start earning and doing real stuff but it seems like no one responds back to new graduates. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
| Starting a new job, old place wants me to consult. How to set my rate? Posted: 10 Jan 2018 11:35 AM PST I was the senior most engineer at my old job (4 years there, 9 years experience), and they're interested in ongoing consulting. I've never done much consulting before, but I've heard 2x your hourly base pay is a decent guideline. I figure due to my experience with the product I could perhaps add a bit on to that? So should I just take my salary at my new full time gig, figure the hourly rate & multiply it? That puts me around $150 which is what I am targeting. This is in Pittsburgh, for reference, so numbers may be lower than what west coasters are used to. Does this seem roughly in line? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
