Is Israel getting bad PR the reason for banning tik tok?
Tell me your secret! I need this career upgrade to send my boi to private school.
Long period of practice with short intervals of study Or pip infant
are you a single parent? Otherwise, let your spouse deal with the kid and you focus on the interviews
Find non leet code companies first. Less prep if you do your day to day well. Prep at nights and weekends while your infant is sleeping. Use the nap times.
Go slow with a target date to be focused. Ramp up near interviews - it is achievable, believe in yourself.
With my second baby due in 3 weeks am in a similar boat and hoping to use the paternity leave to prepare for knocking the doors on FAANG for data engineer roles. I do sometimes feel overwhelmed.
Yep. My entry into FAANG was when my daughter was 4 weeks old. I wasn’t sleeping. I was operating off of coffee alone. No tricks. Just coffee and prepping every moment you can.
I contemplated doing that, but the last time I wasn’t sleeping for a few days I had manic episodes. I don’t think that’s going to be good for my mental health
There no good time for it unfortunately. Good luck!
It’s rough. Good luck
Not sure what big 5 is. Do you mean tier-1 tech/FAANG? But in any case I know a guy who did that. Got multiple offers with an infant. He struggled a lot but it tripled his TC
Could that guy offer some advice on how he study or concentrate?
I think it was circumstance. He was in a dead- end job and his wife had an opportunity in another city. It was something he just had to do. His earlier job was also somewhat relaxed. What also helped was the covid bounce back. The job market has been incredible lately. Maybe you can also use the infant as an excuse to get some time off work
