Hey not to go all "tumblr is a professional networking site" on you, but how did you get to work for Microsoft??? I'm a recent grad and I'm being eviscerated out here trying to apply for industry jobs & your liveblogging about your job sounds so much less evil than Data Entry IT Job #43461

This place is basically LinkedIn to me.

I'm gonna start by saying I am so so very sorry you're a recent grad in the year 2024... Tech job market is complete ass right now and it is not just you. I started fulltime in 2018, and for 2018-2022 it was completely normal to see a yearly outflow of people hopping to new jobs and a yearly inflow of new hires. Then sometime around late-spring/early-summer of 2022 Wallstreet sneezed the word "recession" and every tech company simultaneously shit themselves.

Tons of layoffs happened, meaning you're competing not just with new grads but with thousands of experienced workers who got shafted by their company. My org squeaked by with a small amount of layoffs (3 people among ~100), but it also means we have not hired anyone new since mid-2022. And where I used to see maybe 4-8 people yearly leave in order to hop to a new job, I think I've seen 1 person do that in the whole last year and a half.

All this to say it's rough and I can't just say "send applications and believe in yourself :)".

I have done interviews though. (I'm not involved in resume screening though, just the interviews of candidates who made it past the screening phase.) So I have at least some relevant advice, as well as second-hand knowledge from other people I know who've had to hop jobs or get hired recently.

If you have friends already in industry who you feel comfortable asking, reach out to them. Most companies have a recommendation process where a current employee fills out a little form that says "yeah I'd recommend such-and-such for this job." These do seem to carry weight, since it's coming from a trusted internal person and isn't just one of the hundreds of cold-call applications they've received.

A lot of tech companies--whether for truly well-intentioned reasons or to just check a checkbox--are on the lookout for increasing employee diversity. If you happen to have anything like, for example, "member of my college Latino society", it's worth including on your resume among your technical skills and technical projects.

I would add "you're probably gonna have to send a lot of applications" as a bullet point but I'm sure you're already doing that. But here it is as a bullet point anyway.

(This is kind of a guess, since it's part of the resume screening) but if you can dedicate some time to getting at least passingly familiar with popular tech/stacks for the positions you're looking into, try doing that in your free time so you can list it on your resume. Even better if you make a project you can point to. Like if you're aiming for webdev, get familiar with React and probably NodeJS. On top of being comfortable in one of the all-purpose languages like C(++) or Java or Python.

If you get to the interview phase - a company that is good to work for WILL care that you're someone who's good to work with. A tech-genius who's a coworker-hating egotistical snob is a nuisance at best and a liability at worst for companies with even a half-decent culture. When I do interviews, "Is this someone who's a good culture fit?" is as important as the technical skills. You'll want to show you'll be a perfectly pleasant, helpful, collaborative coworker. If the company DOESN'T care about that... bullet dodged.

For the technical questions, I care more about the thought process than I do the right answer, especially for entry-level. If you show a capacity for asking good, insightful clarifying questions, an ability to break down the problem, explain your thought process, and backtrack&alter your approach upon realizing something won't work, that's all more important than just being able to spit out a memorized leetcode answer. (I kinda hate leetcode for this reason, and therefore I only ask homebrewed questions, because I don't want the technical portion to hinge at all on whether someone managed to memorize the first 47 pages of leetcode problems). For a new hire, the most important impression you can give me is that you have a technical grasp and that you're capable of learning. Because a new hire isn't going to be an expert in anything, but they're someone who's capable of learning the ropes.

That's everything I have off the top of my head. Good luck anon. I'm very sorry you were born during a specific range of years that made you a new grad in 2024 and I hope it gets better.

Speed Up Your Website: Essential Optimization Tips! 🌐✨

Is your website feeling a bit sluggish? A fast website is crucial for keeping your visitors happy and improving your SEO. Here are some essential tips to boost your site’s speed and performance! ⚡ With Speedy Serp.

1. Trim the Fat: Minimize HTTP Requests 🔪 Each element on your page (images, scripts, stylesheets) creates a new request. Combine files where possible and remove unnecessary elements to speed things up.

2. Compress for Success 🗜️ Enable Gzip or Brotli compression to shrink your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files. Smaller files mean faster load times.

3. Picture Perfect: Optimize Images 📸 Ensure your images are in the right format (JPEG for photos, PNG for graphics) and compressed. Tools like TinyPNG or ImageOptim can help reduce image sizes without sacrificing quality.

4. Cache In: Use Browser Caching 🧠 Set up browser caching to store some files in your visitors' browsers. This way, repeat visitors don't have to download everything again, making subsequent visits faster.

5. Clean Up Your Code: Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML 🧹 Remove unnecessary characters from your code, like spaces and commas, to improve load times. Minification tools can automate this for you.

6. Fast Servers = Fast Websites 🏎️ Choose a reliable web host and keep your server optimized. A speedy server is the backbone of a fast website.

7. Globally Fast: Implement a CDN 🌍 CDNs store copies of your site in multiple data centers worldwide, serving content from the location closest to your visitor. This reduces latency and speeds up load times.

8. Lazy Load for the Win 💤 Lazy loading delays the loading of images and other elements until they’re needed (i.e., when they come into view). This makes your initial page load much faster.

9. Above-the-Fold Focus 📰 Prioritize loading the critical content first, so visitors can start engaging with your site while the rest loads in the background.

10. Regular Audits: Keep Testing 🔍 Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, or Lighthouse to identify improvement areas. Regular testing and optimization are key to maintaining a fast site.

Speed optimization is an ongoing journey, but the rewards in user satisfaction and SEO are well worth it. Start implementing these tips today and watch your website soar! 🌟✨

I would really like some input from people, preferably vision impaired people, but any people with disabilities that can change how you view/see things in general is good. [ie like folks with light sensitivity, contrast issues, migraines, etc]

On my website, I want to not only make my website itself accessible, I'd really like to make a few pages specifically first and foremost for blind and vision impaired people... so I'd like to learn as much as I can about things that folks who struggle with navigating the internet visually.

My idea is since a lot of websites are vision-first and have minimal accessibility whether or not the websites are good or coded well, they often feel like after the fact accessibility features so I thought it'd be nice to try to create a unique and fun experience for vision impaired people, as well as try to figure out a way to make a good middle ground between fun and accessible for both blind people and those who can see but struggle with things like flashing colors, contrast issues, etc...

So ontop of working on responsiveness, accessibility, and what not.. I just think it'd be both interesting and nice, to try to create some kind of experience for vision impaired people that can feel more robust and fleshed out, without feeling like an after thought… cause even some of the most accessibly friendly sites I've seen, I hear they still leave a lot to the imagination and can be really annoying for folks with impaired vision to go through.. because almost everything is geared towards sighted people first at best, and sighted people only at worst.

so I'm wondering if creating a section of my website[or maybe even eventually and entire separate website] first and foremost for folks with vision impairment [primarily focusing on those who need screen readers] is something that sounds fun or interesting to folks? and if so, what things would people want to be able to explore/interact with/etc..

and of course, how can I make said page / pages accessible AND fun.

I was blatantly told that this idea was ableist[and that I must be bad at coding to want to make a separate page/experience for blind people?? I feel they just misunderstood me but I want to add this part in case folks have insight or opinions specifically on ableism and accessibility in webdev], and so I also would like input on that SPECIFICALLY only from folks who use screen readers and/or are blind. I want to make sure I am doing things in a way that is inclusive and I want to try and help with spreading info on accessibility and inclusiveness in personal sites and indie webdev.

And the winner for most chill week of the bootcamp goes to.... week 5!

This week was a group project and I have to say - it was so smooth! 

As a group we got along very nicely and working together resulted very well. We were able to meet everyday’s achievements on time, no stress, sticking to the plan, dividing and conquering. 

I wonder if all this agility was due to the fact of the whole group was on campus (and it was the first time this ever happened in this cohort, so... food for thoughts). 

Another superstar moment of this week was being able to collaborate with the WebDev class, where I really felt like I know my stuff and how the friction between a Dev and an UX/UI professional happens. Very insightful and I hope I had the opportunity to do it again! 

PS- very nervous moment to be the first one to present in from of all the classes... even for me, who feels super comfortable talking in public. I shaken for a bit! Next time I’ll do better.
