I accepted an offer for Software Engineer II at Spotify in London and start next year. What advice do you have to prepare for the role? #engineering #software #swe
Tc or gtfo
TC?
Get ready to play politics and deal with two managers Oh and bust ass with 60 hour weeks on your projects or get fired without PIP
Who hurt you?
@CapitalOne Yeah what? 😂 Spotify is nothing like that. I regularly worked less than 40 hours a week and nobody I knew got PIPd
Any advice on things to pick up or practice before joining?
Are you joining content platform? Feel free to PM me if you know your specific team or manager (I am leaving in Jan)
If you are backend learn completeable futures if you don’t know them yet
Yeah I started a few weeks ago and am now starting to make my first actual contributions and have been lost this week trying to understand completable futures 😅
No worries it takes some getting used to. If you have questions dm me happy to provide my slack id
For backend I'm thinking to brush up on Java, but how modern, which libraries? GCP I guess, but which bits? What about k8s?

Women, help me understand why this is inspirational
Learn independently, be a self starter, learn to find tasks if nothing is assigned to you, participate in design and architecture decisions, mentor people.
