Topic	Another day, another rejection from a software developer position. Time to grind
BIueJay 12/03/21 9:00:30 AM #3:	emblem boy posted... Good luck man. Had a failure of an interview last week that's I'm personally embarrassed about. Was my first interview in over a year. Truly is a skill I have to practice before hand. What kind of software jobs are you looking for? I'm electrical engineering but I've been thinking of trying to transfer into more of a software engineer type role. I just don't know the best way to do it. I mean, I know the basics of outstanding, but not enough to get a job as a developer Thanks bro. I'm trying to get into one of the bigger companies. My resume is really lacking. Fortunately I have about 4 years of experience so now more recruiters are hitting me up. I didn't have any internships from school, so I just have this one current position. I'm focusing on getting one of those larger companies. Amazon is out of the question just because I hear so many bad things about it, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to hit any FAANGs yet. I'll do that after my grind is over. But I was focusing on companies just below FAANG. I hear you need to hit at least 300-400 leetcode questions, and get lucky during the interviews. If you're starting from scratch, I'd just pick a very common object-oriented language. There was a python topic on this board, I'd suggest that. I'm using Java since I'm used to it, and am using it in my current position. But Java takes way too long to code at times. I'd also suggest creating simple applications, focusing on good coding practices. Clean Code is a decent book to use. Create simple CRUD apps (fetch data from a database and display it on a website), maybe try creating a simple ecommerce website, and tackle fixing bugs in open-source projects to get a feel of how you would work in a company. Do leetcode easy question first. TeamBlind's 75 questions is useful. CodeWars is also a great website to get a feel of the programming language you're using. Then it's all about grind. Pair your learning with Anki so you don't forget concepts. I always hate giving advice though since I haven't gotten another job yet, it's like who am I to talk. But this is what I've gathered. <cite>BIueJay posted [p:960580798] in Another da... [t:79792753]...</cite> <quote>emblem boy posted... </cite> <quote>Good luck man.
