Starting as a SWE1 this coming summer (not at lowes). At Lowe’s (my only internship), the way it worked was that everyone just did their tickets for the 2 week sprint and that was it. My question is, if everyone is just doing their tickets, how do I stand out/prepare a promotion packet for SWE2? ...Read more

This time last year I was frustrated with my team mates, manager, and the work bottle neck, as well as critiquing myself harshly when I was on top of work and getting promotions and setting up work shops for junior interns who we later laid off Today, I'm 6 weeks behind my sprint, I ignored client ...Read more
I was doing the internship for the past three months. Everything was all good and fun, the stakeholders seemed to like the way I handled the end of sprints, told me they were feeling engaged when I presented what I have done. At the last meeting my manager said my communication skills were impeccab...Read more
I am about 2 months into my 3 month internship and am pretty much working on weekends and for many hours after work hours. There is an incredible amount expected from my project, which has had a lot of roadblocks due to lack of existing methodology or lack of cooperation from other teams. I have had...Read more

I recently joined Arm as a summer intern and found out that I am the only Intern that got to work on the main team in High Performance Computing!

TC: 95 , new grad. Contracts not renewing, and after this month, I have 0 work. And even before that, I do get sparks of innovation and opportunity to code, but long and between. Never had a daily scrum, a sprint, or even work on a codebase with someone else before. So half venting, half asking ...Read more
Hi everyone, I am a soon-to-be graduating Master's student in Design and Engineering.

I have both internship and some professiona...Read more

So last summer I interned at Amazon, and it was clear from the beginning that my manager really didn't like me. Surprisingly, despite mostly getting negative feedback in my end-of-internship meeting with my manager, I walked away with a return offer. Now, about 2 months ago I came back to my team a...Read more

Has anyone ever met a real 10x engineer? Are they a myth? I think I’ve finally found one. My team recently hired a new principal engineer and I was asked to help them as their onboarding buddy. I didn’t know what I (a SDE3 with 6 YOE) could help this new PE with, but I figured I could at the very l...Read more
