9pm and still Working on “bug tickets” when it’s just extra scope creep added into the sprint we didn’t size for. I feel like I’m being take advantage of.

How you end up at some random place with 1k+ LC
Idk I just did a bunch of leetcode this year. I haven’t interviewed at many places or had an algo interview before.
I also was a researcher for a year and switched to swe. Kind of getting my foot in the door at random place.
Well you know, if the metrics shows you can complete all of the sprint goals, the lead is going to add more stretches in the next planning session.
Ya ik how it goes. People act like it’s the end of world when things are leftover after a sprint, but really it’s by design if not the manager wasn’t being ambitious enough.
DM for Atlassian
Definitely clean up your resume, and get your behavioral answers in order. You should be able to get multiple offers easily with those LC skills.
Thanks. Ya just got to start interviewing again.
DM for Instacart. Lots of open roles and actively hiring
Do you guys have any sde1 < 3 yoe? I didn’t see any in open roles.

Asians - what are your thoughts on asian female white male ?
Approx one year experience? Great time to learn to push back and establish some work/life balance. Sounds like stretch goals, especially if it was added after the sprint was defined. This is a recipe for burnout, and you’re just getting started in tech.
Design docs were incomplete/ ambiguous. Tech lead quit recently, teammate has been picking up sizing, he wasn’t as thorough as he should have been. He has been on the team longer than me. So we get “bugs”(requirements) added as we go through the sprint. And burn out is inevitable feel like I’m working 9-9-6 schedule.
It’s okay to push back or not get everything done in a sprint, especially when stuff is out of your control like that. Seriously, work normal hours and get as much as you can in. Things can roll over to the next sprint. Advice coming from someone with 12 yoe and seen plenty of this
