thank you so much I'll be sure add it to the description as well

They didn’t tell me it seemed like a lot of work. It was partly my fault though. I didn’t know what I wanted to do for my final project so I just chose the project from a pool of ideas that my supervisor provided. This one sounded like the most interesting one and to be honest I think I had a lot more fun working on this than I would have done on some Monte Carlo project variant which is what most of my friends did. All in all I think if I could go back in time I would’ve stuck with this project but I would have scoped it down a little bit more. Like maybe I would have used something like Godot as the driving force.

He might be dumb

I see this so typical among overconfident devs, high ego uni graduates too. they tend to bite off more they can chew bc they let be fooled by a degree.. then they drop their ideas, get depressed and quit, or live in a van for 8years.

It is not you, all the career thing is a scam. You just got scammed. A job is the means to an end not the end. I'm worst than you though. i don't even have a customer service job.

What country are you in? You could try and swing government work with a security clearance really, really easily with a degree.

@@professionalschizo I'm in and from Dominican Republic.

@CelestialVenerableValinor Yeah, can't say I have good advice for your situation, to be truthful. I would see if you could swing remote work from a US or EU based company, or even get a visa and move somewhere else where you're more likely to be paid well. I'm Brazilian and moved to the US to pursue citizenship a long time ago, I'm a senior software dev now and I have to say, even though I miss Brazil sometimes, I have a better life here than anybody in my family ever did.

@@professionalschizo Well, at least, I have the knowledge of those possibilities (I lament, that I took a lot of time on and off coding, learning C, C++, GameDev, Java, C#, Python, JS... but never got into frameworks, I'm finishing FreeCodeCamp certs, because at least it's a web dev path and it's something that I can show apart from any project that I have). Now, while I'm working I'm planning to even do finish those and some Coursera paths. The problem was, I went into coding due to my teenage naive belief that this career was about reinventing the world and creating new technologies. Focused in gamedev, but I took a pause due to my religious beliefs at the time and then tried mobile, then tried to shy away from Web Dev and it was too late when I realize that Software Engineering is just another office job where you create parts of a product to make some stakeholders massively rich, anyways. I also lost a lot of time NOT coding or learning programming. And my depression apparently didn't let me see time passing and my decisions were the steps of turtles. But I can only blame myself for not listening to the better advice. All I want to say is that some people have it worse than others, and that includes the hundreds of millions that would wished to be in my position, just as I am. Pretty sure, I felt such sadness when listening a teen from Gaza saying he wants to be a software engineer, he may or he may not.

Nice one! I hope your exams go well!

@@TheLittleTechTurtle Thanks Man

You will do well Insha'Allah

@@NadidLinchestein Thanks brother InshAllah

It's funny you should say that! A research paper I came across which focused on creating a General AI for other types of games, not just board game style games, used python and they were very successful with it. In fact, the only issue they ran into was performance, and that was one of my justifications for using C++. In their case though they were a group of people and I was just one :( If I could go back in time, I would have used python too. If you're interested in the research paper I'm talking about you can find it via a quick google search for "General Video Game AI: a Multi-Track Framework for Evaluating Agents, Games and Content Generation Algorithms"

Also cool username :)

@@TheLittleTechTurtle I'll look into it later and the reason I said that is pretty basic tbh I know people keep talking about performance and all of that nonsense but I'd rather spend an hour writing a code that will let's say execute in 2h (obviously it's just a figure of speech) than spending 10h writing a code that will execute in 10mn in the end it's not a bad thing I know the feeling of pressure and all but take it this way you've mastered c++ and you can use it in other things if necessary in less stressful environment

nah get into Java, and Spring Boot

@@Jordan-co2nm too verbose

Thanks I appreciate the sub !

I appreciate the feedback !

Sure drop me your discord name

I appreciate the feedback 🙇‍♂️

Think about Business impact and optimize for that. Software isn't art.

Least elitist code monkey 🤓

I have just over 3 years of experience. I've worked professionally with Java, TypeScript, Go, Python. Although I'm a full stack engineer in both my previous role and my current role I have much more of a back-end focus

@@TheLittleTechTurtle with what programming language are you working right now in your current job?

I work with all of the languages I mentioned earlier but my split is a little bit like this: Java -50% Go - 10% Typescript -20% Python - 20%

It’s roughly 3.5k after tax per month and student loan. I don’t think I made that clear. It’s about right for a mid level engineer though it varies widely depending on your field.

I promise

I really appreciate it! Wishing you the best of luck in your future interviews!

Sorry to hear that bro, are you stuck at a specific stage of the interview process ?

@@TheLittleTechTurtle Im actually experiencing the same thing. and i often pass the initially HR interview, and the follow up technical question, but fail on the next interview which is often with senior engineers or the hiring manager

@@Aaron-tl9zy I’m not too sure if you mean a system design interview when you say “the interview with the senior devs” If that’s the case then I would advise you to check out the resources I’ve linked in the description. If that’s not the case though it could be that you’re having trouble communicating your thoughts in a clear manner to them. For that I recommend you use the Acronym S.A.R. I have a video explaining it in my channel. I believe it’s linked at the end of this one

I got laid off 2 weeks into my internship

It didn't stop Mark Zuckerberg from learning about it, so it shouldn't stop you :)

@@TheLittleTechTurtle its been a few days now i wanna take your advice serious but i been hung up on it confused am confused

Thank you so much 😀

That thing was too big to be called a sword.Too big, too thick, too heavy, and too rough, it was more like a large hunk of iron
