I worked for a few weeks. Now I am to looking. I am glad to repeat same steps. I will look for perfections.

Hey everyone, I just accepted a contract with ServiceNow and today was my first day! I want to thank @Anna Miller @Nate Hobi and all of you for your encouragement/resources and time. I appreciate each of you!

Hey all... I'm happy to report that I landed an engineering role. Most of my success getting through to recruiters came through referrals of former co-workers, so I didn't really get to build up those networking skills in the ways that I would have ideally. But I plan to keep that up as I go along, so that I'm ready for the next time. Some things I found helpful in this last interview loop: - I used Claude to talk about everything I was doing - Before this coding screen, I asked the recruiter for more information to establish whether it was more "practical" or "Leetcode-style" and she confirmed it was "practical with elements of DSA." So I used that with Claude to generate potential problems that the company might ask, which helped me practice potentially tricky language-specific things like working with timestamps. - I used HelloInterview to learn and practice System Design. I also booked a mock interview through them and it was the most helpful by far. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions, and best of luck to everyone! https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-edward-royall-iii/

I accepted an offer for the software support engineer role! I wanted to say a big thanks to this Insiders group. The guides, calls, and especially @Anna Miller and @Nate Hobi were super helpful.

Sorry I've been so silent. I have been swamped with life, and haven't been that public with it. First, my poor and well-loved dog is dealing with some recently diagnosed cancer that is terminal for him. It's kept me pretty busy, because he stopped eating his regular food, and I've been having to do a lot of meal prep home cooked meals and such for him just to get him to eat. Then, our A/C died. Super fun for South Texas, where it's a requirement for living. Lastly, I've had a lot of interviews and recruiter interactions over the past few weeks. Of them, a few fails but entirely based on steep competition and not me. However, there is a win, because I've accepted a contract role that I start on Tuesday, which may (but is not promised) convert to full time. Finally I have income again after almost 2 years and now over 30 different companies I've interviewed with. So, if you are searching for a job still, keep it up, it'll happen only if you keep the work up. The world can only seem to be against you for so long before you realize it's just a place that changes a lot and you just need to constantly adapt.
