ACtually, that is the whole point. A proper softwrae engineer, needs to understand and solve the problem. Identify, why sally needs to reverse a linked list and why that is the solution, instead of giving you a question "reverse this linked list for me please" THe problem is, afterwords, the POs, the PMOs and whatever initials they have, they treat the software engineer like a coding monkey churning code instead of the problem solver they hired. And this is the number one reason people are not pleased with their jobs today. Unervalued and under appreciated
@@JohnDemetriou Except understanding and solving problems like this aren't required of most jobs. Yet more and more we're seeing small companies following the trend of major companies that can afford to be picky and test on binary trees and whatnot. For example, if you're a genuine front end web developer, not the type that does 6 jobs in 1, a test like this is irrelevant. It'd be like me asking you to design and build an airplane when your job is going to be flipping burgers. It's in no way relevant to the job, and is weeding out qualified candidates who aren't spending extended periods of time studying algorithms they don't need to know. Work is a means to an end, a necessary evil. You show up, you do your 8 hours, and you go live your life. I, for one, wouldn't be pleased with a job dealing with binary trees all day, I'm content with where I'm at. I work remote, never work more than 40hrs/week, and get to live my life. And that, is the number 1 reason I'm pleased with my job. Not because some silly interview has me designing an airplane so I could work there and flip burgers, haha.
Curtis Wood Grafana only does data visualization. “Dashboard” is a very, very broad term. Try making something like the PayPal user dashboard, GDAX stock dashboard, or Stripe control center in grafana! Good luck with that!
Except you can just build analytics dashboards with G-Suite and have all the heavy lifting done for you already. So yes... it is easy if you utilize the tools available.
i don't know about ever, but where the interviews are more negotiations because you're already established enough. the moment you realize you can actually haggle about pay, benefits, vacation time, and privileges in a job interview, the crushing student loan debt doesn't seem so bad. :P
That's the beauty of getting some experience under your belt. After that, job interviews are as much about you interviewing them as them interviewing you.
@@iorekby It shouldn’t matter how much experience you have. Employers should give interviewees the same courtesy they expect from them. They are still human beings here. Professionalism goes both ways here.
LOL, I just went through several phone screens for one of the big tech companies.. literally each interview was late by 10-15 minutes, while I was freaking out, and they were obviously at home doing something else while I struggled with the problem lol awesome.
You also have the contrast between the HR interview and the tech interview : HR : Oh wow you look absolutely perfect for that position, where do you see yourself in 3 years ? Tech : Ok now answer these 50 very specific questions about the .NET framework and i will treat you like shit if you miss one
Spot on. Specially: - 1 year is considered "long" in this business (Average in Silicon Valley is 8 month I think) - Asking about resume even though they already know everything about it - Stupid programming problems - Equity packages that probably won't be worth anything anytime soon Also thanks for making shorter videos.
Yeah, everyone can always afford the luxury of working for the company they want to be at, instead of "anything that will hire me at the moment." That's kind of a similar problem to "Why don't you just get a better job?" Someone has to scrub the toilets: You can't have a top-heavy economy where everyone is at high-end jobs at places they love working with a bright future ahead of them, that's not economically feasible.
That argument makes sense in a lot of industries, but definitely not software engineering. If you are a quality candidate, you will get approached at least once a month with opportunities. But even in other industries, you should not apply for a job that you know will be short lived, unless that's what you want. I'm saying you need to take responsibility for your action. If you go into a job knowing the equity is probably going to be gone, then you shouldn't complain when that equity is gone.
What is this mystical, sunshiny-happy world you live in, Chih? Software engineers gotta eat. It might not literally be a job scrubbing toilets. It might be a crap contract rewriting somebody's terrible legacy code.
By that standard I'm already a mid-level fullstack dev with experience in systems programming and gamedev, and I haven't even had an actual job in the industry. How much would a silicon valley startup pay me? ... oh, right, equity.
turbo pascal Just use the fancy words for hiring managers it's fine, nobody cares. I've seen some backend work by "real programmers" that would make you never want to touch an online store again.
I remember an interview some lady called me 15 minutes late. Introduced her self "Whats the difference between .NET Core and .NET Standard" and she kept hammering me on .NET. For 45ish minutes. ... it was an interview for a MERN stack development position.
1:24 Oh my GOD this interviewer literally described my job the same way I do at parties. "We do really cool stuff with machine learning!" "That's awesome, does it involve a lot of math?" "Probably! I just build a dashboard that no one uses!"
I have two today, just got done with my first. The guy didn't read my resume and was upset I didn't have my degree yet. I love having my time wasted. Here's hoping the next one goes better!
hahah I mean that's pretty normal. I am not normal. I've talked about this with some of my friends, some like to wear a full suit even for a phone interview to help build confidence.
lmao the "senior" title gets thrown around so much. I've worked with "senior" developers that have had maybe 3 years of experience. To me "senior" should mean at least 7-8 years of experience.
You can’t discribe seniorship with years. When i started working as a programmer I already had 5 years of experience, and I was really noob. But then we were working on a lot of different projects with a lot of technologies. And only two years later I got an another job, where the lead developer had 15 years of working experience an he was dumb af. They hired me for the place of an another back-end programmer, who had 10 years of working experience. He was actually better then the lead developer, but his code was a vulnerable trash. Thank god I left them. So what I think is being a senior means that you have a huge knowledge in a lot of different technologies, and you can build up any project even alone with the most optimal technology set without any problems, and you know how to make sure that your code will be a high quality product.
Interesting. I'm trying to find an entry level job (i have 1.5 years experience) and just about every single one wants 3 to 5 years. How am i supposed to get that???
I am junior iOS dev. They ask me like ‘can you write in Java’ or ‘can you test app by using automated testing tool’ or ‘do you know how to create Framework?’ I am damn junior damnit.
thats literally stuff covered in my CS classes though, testing, including using stuff like travis CI is apart of the assignments, also most people create micro frameworks when they design a system totally from scratch (ever done an MVC project and organised all the namespaces/packages and their classes into contingent groups of problems?, you build a rudimentary framework.)
So relatable! I feel like they purposely make you wait to throw you off when they call. It's worse when they assume time zones too. Microsoft had scheduling issues with one of my calls, so I had to reschedule! So annoying! Phone interviews are never great unless you know that person.
I'm the strange soul that absolutely crushes the phone interview only to disappoint them with the tired and confused person I actually am once we meet.
You forgot the part where they say you don't have the experience. Even though you literally have experience with everything the job description listed, you have shown them projects, and it is entry-level. lol
This hits far too close to home. Interviews are SO CRAZY broken in the valley. You hit the nail on the head with the complete disrespect of someone's time - and the huge disrespect of not bothering to read someone's resume. I could write a gigantic medium post about all the things wrong with interviewing in the valley. It sickens me!
"What experience do you have?" *Pulls out video of me sitting at a computer in the dark alone wearing a hoodie slouching forward and occasionally looking over my shoulder while writing what looks to be advanced python code*
Oh god, "what are you thinking about?" "I'm still reading the problem" is bringing back so many bad memories of tests and interviews like this. I also love when they ask you questions that *make no sense* because the interviewer doesn't know what they're talking about.
This was exactly my interview I had with ****book. They guy said said the same thing. He said you should talk out loud and tell me your thoughts. So I struggled to say everything I thought lol haha.
"respect"then you find out he does nothing to learn about software engineering besides watching this guy and talking about it with his middle school friends
Learn your first language and master it. Because after you master one language you pretty much know the rest, it's just transferring the same concepts to different languages
leonardo cortes This. I started in Python (well actually in BASIC before moving to Python), now I'm working in PHP, Perl, JS, C, JAVA and assembly. And probably more idk, if I'm being honest it's all the same I sometimes forget what language I'm writing in and add a semicolon and brackets in Python and wonder why for syntax error?
I would advise switching to Python, there is way more you can do with it and the syntax is more straightforward. After you are able to run a program that can systematically analyze the text on a website, then switch to Java (very different, but much better for intuitively understanding basic data types) and work from the beginning. Once you can write a 34 class game in Java with interfaces and polymorphism, read “The C Programming Language” Second Edition, Brian Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie and work through the questions. After that, switch to the C++ programming language.
I had an interview today where they gave me 4 really simple coding questions and I messed up 1 anyway because apparently I suck. The response: "yea we could tell the mere sight of the code didn't scare you so its all good'
I almost had a panic attack when he was waiting for the call that was supposed to start at 3. Fuck. Last interview I had, I got the call two hours late, and they just asked "if it would be alright to reschedule this call"
Hey Jarvis 👋🏼 I just discovered your channel and I’ve been bingeing your videos ever since lol. Each video you make is so precise and funny and this one was no exception. I’m a computer science major and I like how tech focused your channel is...keep up the good work!
I got stressed before the video even started. Coding interviews need to die. My company gave me some tasks to complete however I wanted to in a certain amount of time (I think 48 hours). Then I sent them the results. That proved to them that I was plenty capable of doing the actual job. These quiz questions and whiteboard interviews are so ridiculous because unless you're going to pay me to write code on a whiteboard for the job, they're not relevant to how I will...you know, do the job. Also, calling at a random time and then asking if "now is a good time to talk" is super accurate.
I saw an ad where it was like "what would I say to someone with Hiv? I would tell then to keep dreaming, and keep loving." And I was just thinking: Maybe not keep loving
I've watched most of your videos and they were quite entertaining but this one really stands out. And something else - its not that I don't want to see you succeed on youtube but please don't grow I want you for myself and this smaller community :D

the distance in skill between the applicant and the senior is further than the distance of those two front teeth
You're a funny dude. Incredible job on the editing!!
Glad to see your channel blowing up been laughing at your vids for a while lol
“You’re going to jail” lmao
lost my shit at return "You're going to jail, Travis."
We're looking for a full-stack ninja unicorn.
Must have at least 10 years experience.
Experience as CEO of Google a plus.
$50k
A coding ad played right before this. Wow.
I’m so glad you put “(Parody)” in the title, I would have never known.
return "you're going to jail, travis"
Lmaoo 😂
Jarvis teach us more about adult life!
HAHAH the coding question was spot on. So many extraneous details to waste your time.
You gave me some of my motivation to keep learning JavaScript. Very nice yt channel!
Sal I'll make sure to keep learning! I play the piano too. Really great Instrument.
Learn your first language and master it. Because after you master one language you pretty much know the rest, it's just transferring the same concepts to different languages
leonardo cortes Thank you for encouraging me!

This.
I started in Python (well actually in BASIC before moving to Python), now I'm working in PHP, Perl, JS, C, JAVA and assembly.
And probably more idk, if I'm being honest it's all the same I sometimes forget what language I'm writing in and add a semicolon and brackets in Python and wonder why for syntax error?
I would advise switching to Python, there is way more you can do with it and the syntax is more straightforward.
After you are able to run a program that can systematically analyze the text on a website, then switch to Java (very different, but much better for intuitively understanding basic data types) and work from the beginning.
Once you can write a 34 class game in Java with interfaces and polymorphism, read “The C Programming Language” Second Edition, Brian Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie and work through the questions.
After that, switch to the C++ programming language.
That problem statement recital killed me for some reason lol
When he asked about the cost of living I had a flashback to when I asked about that too before interning in CA, but hey Free parking 😂 💀
I had an interview today where they gave me 4 really simple coding questions and I messed up 1 anyway because apparently I suck. The response:
"yea we could tell the mere sight of the code didn't scare you so its all good'
This is my favorite type of Jarvis video. So good.
I almost had a panic attack when he was waiting for the call that was supposed to start at 3. Fuck. Last interview I had, I got the call two hours late, and they just asked "if it would be alright to reschedule this call"
Hey Jarvis 👋🏼 I just discovered your channel and I’ve been bingeing your videos ever since lol. Each video you make is so precise and funny and this one was no exception. I’m a computer science major and I like how tech focused your channel is...keep up the good work!
I got stressed before the video even started. Coding interviews need to die. My company gave me some tasks to complete however I wanted to in a certain amount of time (I think 48 hours). Then I sent them the results. That proved to them that I was plenty capable of doing the actual job. These quiz questions and whiteboard interviews are so ridiculous because unless you're going to pay me to write code on a whiteboard for the job, they're not relevant to how I will...you know, do the job.
Also, calling at a random time and then asking if "now is a good time to talk" is super accurate.
I saw an ad where it was like "what would I say to someone with Hiv? I would tell then to keep dreaming, and keep loving."
And I was just thinking: Maybe not keep loving
"its not that I'm evaluating you for the job, I'm evaluating you against this esoteric exercise" is just spot the fuck on
I've watched most of your videos and they were quite entertaining but this one really stands out.
And something else - its not that I don't want to see you succeed on youtube but please don't grow I want you for myself and this smaller community :D
Somehow, this video made more nervous about my interview tomorrow than the six hour coding test I had to take 2 days ago
How'd it go?
How'd it go
Not realistic, it's well known that every company uses google docs for the coding part
I literally had an interview today in CoderPad lol
@@branzalleyne472 How did it go?
@@floatingblaze8405 Didnt go bad tbh. Still got rejected tho
never write 1 line of code without payment. A painter wouldn't paint a wall for free.
