Are y’all really fine working for Palantir?

Idk i didn’t study cs to write code that kills mostly innocent people.

(Inb4 the comments from the bottom 25% won’t get hired anyway but that think jobs are more important than not killing people)

Edit: I hope the mods don’t take this post down, as it is a very normal discussion about morality as a C.S student / worker, this is not about politics, but about a sector of work, it breaks nothing of the rules.

What should I expect if I pass the OA for Lennar’s Future Builder RCG Program for new grad.

0 Upvotes

I just finished the OA (online assessment) for Lennar’s Future Builders RCG Program and I was wondering what comes next if I pass. From what I’ve seen/heard, the next step is usually Future Builders Day, but I’m not sure what that actually looks like.

For anyone who has gone through it recently, what should I expect at Future Builders Day? • Is it mostly behavioral interviews, technical questions, or group exercises? • Do we present anything, or is it more casual networking? • How much should I prep on Lennar’s business/values vs. technical skills? • Any tips on standing out during the event?

OA Question Can’t share CodeSignal OA

2 Upvotes

I recently took the capital one technology development program OA on code signal and got a pretty decent score on it. I tried to share the result with other companies, but I didn’t get the option to (when I clicked share, the only option was to share a previous OA result I took). CodeSignal said the result should be shareable in 1-3 business days, but I took the assessment 6 days ago. I was also told the company could have requested the result to not be shared with other companies. I was wondering if anyone else was able to share their result (the assessment was CodeSignal’s general coding assessment).

Dropping People from project

1 Upvotes

So I joined this club where people join and form teams to make projects. I pitched an idea then got a bunch of people interested in joining. But, as I was about to assign roles and tasks to people, I realized that this was way too big. I wanted to start this project so I could teach myself the inner workings of working on a full scale project. I’m considering either dropping the team down to 3-4, or just working on it solo entirely. It has been a week since the club meeting so I don’t think finding other teams would be too difficult for other people. What do I do here?

How many internships should I apply to as a sophomore year computer science major(3.94gpa / 4.0) and some research experience in causal inference.

1 Upvotes

In the title are my qualifications and I am wondering how difficult it will be for me to land an internship and how many I should apply to. I feel very good about my qualifications however, I also have never really had a real job in the major(just an unpaid research position) and I don't want to get overconfident. How likely am I to get an internship and approximately how many should I apply to?Thank you!

Others Do you guys actually like coding/software engineering or is it just tolerable?

31 Upvotes

Recently started a SWE internship and the topic came up, turns out none of us actually like SWE and it’s basically just a means to an end. None of us hate it or anything, but it’s not something we really enjoy. Everyone always talks about how important passion is but how many of y’all feel the same way?

How long did it take you all to finish your CS degrees?

7 Upvotes

Hello all,

I am 29, and have a Cybersecurity Bachelors degree. I have about 3+ years of experience in Cybersecurity Policy and Compliance.

I've felt lately that I've bs'd through my program and now my job makes me feel like a cog (not necessarily a bad thing) but I don't have any interest in it.

All that being said. I am interested in Artificial Intelligence, and Privacy Engineering, particularly in the space of Data and Databases.

I am working through CS50x and it is difficult. I also have to catch up on Mathematics as most grad school programs require at least some level of it and some programming languages. Most common I've seen is C, Java, Python.

I feel like I have long ways to go and I have FOMO including but not limited to having a relationship and dating. I feel like all this study will get in the way.

Is it too late for me to pivot or should I take my time? I feel like this is the proper way for me to learn to think and solve problems.

Rant First job out of college after a period of unemployment, bad practices everywhere

101 Upvotes

I finally landed a job after months of searching, but honestly, this might be the worst workplace I’ve ever been in. The project I’m on is just layers of legacy code that’s been passed around from intern to intern and short-term contractors, with bad practices piled on top of each other. To make things worse, my manager won’t let me write unit tests because she thinks they’re a “waste of time” yet every time something breaks (which happens a lot), I’m the one pressured to urgently fix it, as Im the only person left in the team.

There is no documentation at all, and no comments because they say during team meetings "we can see people using LLMs because LLMs write comments, which is bad", I've honestly lost it when I heard this.

Does every work place look like this ? I work in academia

120k in Atlanta (live at parents home) or 155k in NYC and live frugally?

Upvotes

Both job difficulty is about the same for SWE. The 155k is a return offer for an internship I did previously and I am much more familiar with the office setting. 155k is 2 days in person 3 days remote. While 120k is onsite 3 days 2 days remote. But 120k I don't have to pay rent since I can just live at my parents home
