Thanks for answering the questions candidly. Your knowledge and experience is invaluable. Please keep going. Do make more content on being an engineering manager and that is always in low supply generally.
Thank you so much for this incredible content. Seriously, it’s inspiring to see someone with so much knowledge and experience giving back to the community. You’re really making an impact on me and many others. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, especially through this medium. I was introduced to your content through the recommendations and am able to listen to your answers while doing chores and workouts
Hey dude, I know this is months later but I appreciated the time you took to give your insight. I'm a bootcamp graduate currently looking and some insight into the industry and what to expect is helpful for a forward looking perspective. thank you :)
Great Q&A video. Looking forward to the next one And here is a question How to read tech books for max benefit especially the huge ones? I read but after some time I get bored and I forget many things afterwards. Any advice?
I don't learn very well from books. The only time I've really gotten value out of reading a book is when I was working through related problems (e.g. coding) WHILE reading the book. YMMV :)
Regarding 33:50 I believe LC is the way for entry level/junior engineers, which is generally the audience of /r/CSCQ -- young guns out for money. Nowadays Leetcode has replaced the trivia or brainteaser questions of yore from pre-2012. So it is relevant/correct in that sense. You have an extensive resume and that's another factor There's not much experience/credentials to fall back on in one's early years which makes FAANGs less inclined to take a chance on them. If I also might add, what types of questions do you usually get asked during interviews?
Thanks for the comment! You certainly have to be able to problem solve and do coding to succeed in a software engineering interview. Some of the LeetCode questions are great examples of what gets asked, but many aren't. When I'm interviewed, I usually get asked design-level questions. If they ask programming questions, they're often the same sort of questions junior engineers get asked, to make sure I haven't forgotten how to code. There are exceptions though, where I get some really ugly design + coding question that makes me cry...
13:34 Getting one's work recognized by higher-level employees and managers is indeed important. Do you have any other tips than those mentioned in the video on how to make sure that they perceive your work?
Enough that it's probably worth me making a separate video on. I do have two videos that talk about what it takes to reach senior, and what it takes to reach principal, they might be helpful. Principal: ruclips.net/video/Xfq5iyX7BLQ/видео.html Senior: ruclips.net/video/B3O__6UIAVI/видео.html
@@TheDeliberateEngineer Your videos are invaluable. The delivery is very on point and respectful of the viewer's time. What can I say, a rarity among video creators nowadays. Some authors don't do great when switching to video, especially for more traditionalist audiences who can read relatively fast. Your videos seem to be hitting a sweet spot.
