    Been working in JPMC payment team when i am a fresh graduate. some payment systems handle subscriptions, so the business date and time are very important, as well as salary credit into the employee bank account and etc. The batch processing limit and scenario like what happens if 1 transaction fail, can be due to fund limit and how long should it wait for a batch transaction to proceed to the next stage.

    6 out of 9 is an impressive ratio! A very valuable advices. I’ve been affected by mass layoffs 2 months ago and went on job search full-time, sending about 30 applications, initiating a talk with 10-12 companies and getting one offer only. It’s so stressful being in this situation, you’re afraid of negotiating and applying all these tactics, because you’re very much afraid that if you lose, it would be even worse for you with all the personal and family commitments many of us have.

    You know you're lying to yourself here "The recruiter will help you because if you do well they look good" the thing is, if you do well on the interview but suck at the jobs they look bad ! So if they make it harder for you and you still pass, they have a better chance that you'll do well on the jobs... all those mantra, motto, proverb, etc ... usually have their reverse that is as common/valid.

    Very professional, clear, to the point preparation and presentation. I i was the manager of the people who prepared this much and spend this amount of time for preparation, this would be a good start. But there is very important aspect here. This is a very long presentation. If i catch anything any word or expression in whole presentation to be wrong, i mean if i now that is the opposite, then everything changes to be negative. I would feel that this guy is telling me wrong things and trying to affect my view. I have experienced this many times and made my team member that i know the real story. On the other end, if everything is right, but the content or effort is not super high, i value such people very high. Because they respect me, respect their work and try hard to achive their goals. I always always value character over technical abilities....

    I used to have a lot of interview anxiety and stress. Always thought of them as something daunting and more like an interrogation. I came across this video last year when I was doing a lot of internship interviews. The biggest takeaway and something that impacted me the most in this video is the mindset change. Treat it like a learning opportunity and a conversation. I think all of my interviews went much better after that, and I genuinely enjoyed them too. I thought of them as a conversation, a chance to learn from these talented people. I am currently undergoing through my 16 month internship and by chance I came across the book: The Software Engineer's Guidebook which happen to have released around a month ago. I purchased a copy and started reading some of it, I got a bit curious and followed the pragmatic engineer newsletter. Randomly, I decided to open up the author's RUclips channel and this is what I see! You are a great person and you are helping me once again with all the valuable advice in the book!

  • @user-vo9fd1wo9y
    @user-vo9fd1wo9y 7 месяцев назад

    I can't help thinking that these interview processes are largely a conformism exercise if not a test of pure compliance. I spent years cracking my head about how things got so bad and all dots were connected when I listened to an interview from the man who wrote "The organization man". There will be a plethora of different degrees of technical questions and required preparation all acceptable in their own context as all needs are different, and some engineering jobs are quite tough and require well trained people. Nonetheless when the interview process requires you to read a book about system design, rather than having designed an actual production systems it does make you doubt its fundamentals. Is it the result of a society with a flawed school system ? Result of a society where many jobs have desappeared because of offshoring and the culture of making has waned ? What do I know. Many of the older poeple I worked with - many without a degree - are still far more valuable as they got many things done and they tend to have a larger picture of a production process. Many of these software engineering jobs are not going to require nowhere near the level of intellectual effort they claim to require, and it all seems a plain manipulative game at times where both the interviewer and the candidate are fooled.

  • @aaronrs2002
    @aaronrs2002 9 месяцев назад

    Any company that outsources their own recruitment means they do not care about their team. Do you see major league baseball teams sending out scouts who know nothing about baseball? Why not? Because they have no idea what to look for, nor, would they understand the nuances of determining what can be mastered in an afternoon vs what may take years to master. Nope, their instructions are: "X" many years doing "A" and "X" many years doing "B." Recruiters are the problem. Anyone who hired a recruiter deserves the bottom of the barrel.

    Watching this two years later and two things stand out for me. First, the misconception around the ATS has been necessarily doused, then the recurring message that it could be the tiny details, maybe numbers, maybe clearer achievements that just gives one the edge over other competitors. Thanks alot for sharing.
