For both software development and for general labor. All these companies I've applied to, either reject, or they tell me I be wasting their time because I'm not no local candidate to that specific part of the country, or they tell me that another candidate was recommended by numerous colleagues because THEY been local, or someone with more YoE came in, etc. Didn't matter that my performance was good. Didn't matter that I covered all the bases. Didn't matter that I started from the fundamental parts of the algorithms. Didn't matter that I made my way up to very optimal runtimes and memory usage. Didn't matter that I kept the interviewers informed. Didn't matter that I discussed trade-offs. Didn't matter that I covered multiple test cases. Didn't matter that we walked through multiple questions in one session. Didn't matter that some of them learned a new perspective regarding algorithms or system architecture. This is how it goes for 400 companies and counting. There was and has always some excuse around the corner, technical or not. "Oh, you didn't ask for ANSI encoding." or "we've filled this position internally" or a ghosting. Can't go to any meetups in the area because the few that are here talk about the same subjects. Talked to those people. No prospects. Applied to some government places. No response. Applied to one of the few remaining local startups. They decided to have us meet at some bowling alley/arcade. Had to strain to hear them, missed and mistook a lot of what they were saying for other things. Asked about the possibility of going to a more acoustically-protected area. They said it was perfect. Then the next day, they said no to me. People this is it. My phone service is going to be cut off [EDIT: tonight] since I can't pay it. Then I won't be even able to log into my email and other services if they ask for confirmation because they don't allow Google Voice numbers. Do they somehow know that I was from the hood? Why me, man?
The troll of Blind is back at it!
So me not being born to a glorious family or city and me being constantly lied to and getting my phone service cut off is some sort of joke to you?
Yes
5’6”Indian can be relieved that he’s not you.
I don't know what that means nor the significance (if any). He works at Facebook making bank. Of course he would not be me. No one would.
This is how a big plurality of people write. If I put the word "it" in front to make it a complete sentences, "it" wouldn't make a difference.
After so many rejections I would try and get to the real reason why nobody wants to hire you. You need to get past the 'nice' feedback that you get and dig in to find out why exactly you are sucking at interviews.
The "un-nice" feedback I've been getting -- During the interview, them: "Why would key storage with LSM trees be more optimal for writing?" Me: "B-trees have to write at least twice: once to the write-ahead log, and write again to the tree page itself, and possible again if the pages are split. Usually, LSM trees are compressed and write sequential SSTable-like files rather than the multiple pages. This reduces write-amplification to allow for more throughput sometimes. See?" Them: "..." Then he licks his lips and smiles. Later: Me: "What do you think?" Them: "I'm not sure about why LSM trees would be better for writing." Me: Re-explaining. Them: "But... but..."
Hang in there. Start looking at consulting work.
wipro is hiring and never turn down fresh US grads.. if you are interested in contracting and get some experience along with pay check.....
Why on earth in sane state of mind someone will apply to wipro/infosh*t/cognic*nt? These are worst bodyshops
If you got a laptop, you get access WiFi at Starbucks for free.

I failed onsite google, apple and Facebook... we all fail, but you need to learn from failures. Maybe try smaller companies or if you need money start day trading idk
Why are you waving your status and money in front of me, giving me options I've already tried and talked about and have 0 access to? When I asked for specifics, I either got no specifics or someone moved the goalpost. Day trading? Smaller companies? Where do you think I am, a tech hub?
