02:22 - ESCTV method
06:27 - System Design
07:28 - Getting interviews
08:34 - ramping up on coding
You should definitely log your journey too. Jobs applied to, interviews, being ghosted, referrals, etc
That’s good content and will have people want to follow your journey
Agree mate, I have an excellsheet for that
having done this for thirty years and still being asked to leet. if i were your age I'd ask myself if i really love this before jumping in and putting in months of study time on leet.
it's a comparable level of effort to grad school where you could learn lasting knowledge that doesn't expire as soon as you stop practicing.
leet code is like practicing shooting baskets in order to make one full court shot in an interview. you're gonna have to do it all over again every time you want to change jobs or get laid off for the next several decades.
Sounds like he's looking for a status job. I can't imagine being over thirty and still wanting to compete like this. After 15 years as a developer, I'm looking for ways to do less coding on a daily basis!
@@asfasfd7772 Why do you want to do less coding, you don't like it?
I don't understand what are you complaining about. Having 30 years of experience doesn't grant you some magic pass when you change your department or software stack. Anyone must relearn if they change their jobs, except getting a raise in the same company.
after enough time the stack ceases to matter. it's the same exercise, different grammar. learning a new grammar is trivial.
it's a matter of economics. capital wants skilled labor as cheaply as possible. by allowing hiring to focus on stack and low cost quizzing, they make switching jobs harder. funnels also then favor newer languages thus cheaper RCGs. overall effect is to suppress wages.
even at the managerial level at a non-name brand company you'll have to overcome the leet mountain. just warning everyone. until this all goes away, it's the lay of the land. if you don't want to be doing it when you're 50 and trying to take care of a family, plan ahead
@@jamescarson668 What do you recommend as a path to transition from IT/programming? I have a b.s. in c.s. but I'm not sure what else I can do. I thought about maybe data science.
Thanks again KC, I started watching your videos last year when I got laid off. You gave me the motivation to keep applying and leetcoding despite the ghosting and rejections, 3 months later I'm trying do decide between 4 offers.
Unpopular opinion, and then so am i, but... practice UML State and Sequence diagrams. And never ever think you can do one. Best case, you need three per task. From the business/user perspective, "what do i want to get done". From a software architect perspective, "what from a bird's eye view will be done". From a software engineer perspective "what in detail will be done". Think of it as "structured white boarding". And you get to make all the questions and get all the answers as you lay it out. "I just received data so I'd be transitioning to another state, but what if the data was bad? Obviously i need to check the data before, which is a state transition in itself, and if the data is bad, how am i supposed to handle it?".
Love the leetcode resurface idea, definitely do that
I have a decade of experience and I'm currently employed I can't even get interviews anywhere else, haven't in a little under a year now. the fact that your plan starts with leet code like you're going to get a FAANG job, especially with the new rounds of layoffs, is very surprising to me. good luck
I’m anticipating a bit of a reality check too. I have 15 years experience and I’m happy to have work, but I have peers who are not having a lot of luck. I wish KC the best, and hope he shares all the wins and the rejections.
@@plumbingphase you probably have a godly resume if recruiters are reaching out to you
Wishing you good luck.
Having a social media presence will help you I’m sure.
I’m a senior dev and just praying to hold on to my job until this wave has passed.
It could be years before we get to stability. It could be never.
Thanks! Wishing you the best as well
Just got laid off. Unsure how long it will take to land a new opp... already scattered job applications.
Yes, continuing LeetCoding practice with NeetCode & Pramp.
Recently had an assessment but did not get any passing answers on HR bc not familiar with platform but I think each attempt was really close & hope they can read my logic & steps to coming very close.
Let's keep trying, failing & getting back up.
good luck, man
I think also sharing about how the interviews can be so different or some are doomed from the start. And that’s normal. I think sharing with your audience how interviews are pretty normalized in our industry, there are plenty of companies that do it SO wrong. I can share plenty of horror interview stories too
Can you do a video about that? I also watch your videos too, cody.
@@John-uz3yu Hey dude! That's awesome. Yeah, I can definitely talk about that. Thanks for the idea!
@@John-uz3yu I also want to do a video to talk about how engineering interviews are actually not that bad. It's a super contrarian thought, but I can back it up and hopefully give people a better outlook on the process
I gave up. I am doing a trade while running a software company.
I know its been done 100x by others but maybe do a series of doing the neetcode 150. You want to practice for interviews so talking allowed as you go through your steps would help you see issues you might have. And might also help others. Might be too distracting to be on cam tho so I can see a reason not to make a series of it.
I'm entering the feild. Or rather, have been looking for the last year.
I would be interested in you keeping open tabs on how this is going.
From events attended, to leetcode, to networking efforts.
I would like to see from the outside how you navigate this. I don't know or conceptually "get" some of the networking part (as many who watch you could probably stand to improve). I would like to watch and learn from afar if possible.
If available, Where are you keeping open notes on the circumstances? Or is there a discord or something you use to open-note share....?
I wish you the very best. You are phenomenal.
One thing I've learned is that it's best to keep yourself sharp at all times, even when not on the job search. If you make sure to top up your skills daily and to keep learning, finding a new job will be much more manageable when the time comes.
The trick for interviews is to have a neuralink implant sending api requests to GPT to fetch responses to the interviewers questions.
do try to make a community which can get student /job seeker referal from any of the potential employee within your reach or any sort of help from your connections or from you as well 😃... I'll be insane help all the peeps out there
Just commenting for the algo
Does neetcode have systems design?
And how about neetcode’s Machine learning problems?
Thanks for the video KC, I just got rejected today. It's kind of sad but I need to move on. I asked the feedback why did they rejected me and the feedback is mostly I couldn't convey my thought to the interviewer even though I thought I actually aced the round. What I learn is that I should calm down first and don't try to jump into conclusion or say unnecessary thing, answer the interview question and be confident. To all of you if you're reading at my comment, don't make the same mistake like me.
I'm on my second week of condign wish me luck guys :,)
Bro could you do a video of you actually doing a couple neetcode problems so we could see your process?
will do !
can you please show how do you apply for jobs(maybe you can provide some tips), which websites will you use? can you share your resume and linkedin page?
Will do! Will try to aggregate some tips
Your thumbnail made me laugh out loud.
😅
Mmmm if you have a network, why not try to freelance your skills and get contract work. Might actually be easier and pay off might be higher?
Very nice presentation
THE GAME PLAN
I ended up getting a take home assignment instead of leetcode
1. Pray should be your first option
take care buddy you can do it
Re-upload
2020?
do you think that your exposure with your channel will affect your job search? certainly someone at the new job site will have seen your channel and everything you've ever complained about will be available to view.
This channel will BOOST his chances.
Those who don't like it will not process his application.
However some will LOVE his drive etc so his interviewing process will be accelerated.
@@coldlyanalytical1351 that's being pretty optimistic. Hope you're right.
be completely honest? KC is a bit different; on my team we would maybe not like someone always complaining but KC is the opposite. type of person to figure out the exact issue, why its an issue, and how to fix it. that sort of proactive thinking is pretty dang useful and (suprisingly) rare.
good chance there's other teams like me in "big tech" that feel the same.
but to your point, market is hard. its just that this channel will almost certainly not be the issue. if anything a minor bonus (or huge one for a very specific type of team)
Be something else instead of Software Engineer. You can code for yourself and be a founder in Software innovations...
Good video, Can we prep together?
It's ovER
lol good luck finding a job
can't wait for the 6-month silence after you get depressed about not finding a job 🙏
