Well, now it’s time to learn some stuff until you get fired so that you’ll be better at the next job you take.
Luckily, you’ll get to do that at Apple. You’ll probably pick up a lot of good habits there.
First jobs are usually like this. You don’t have to succeed at your first attempt at a technical role. Feel free to fall flat on your face all day. Just make sure you reflect on and learn from each shortcoming so you don’t make the same mistakes twice. 👍
Edit: If you can learn fast enough, you won’t even get fired. 🤓
Love this advice 👋
Not sure it applies for technical jobs to be honest
Define faking it for me. Do you just research everything you need to do and then write that code? Who reviews that work? If you are pretending to know something you don’t know how do you ask clarifying questions? How do you determine your threshold of asking for more information that even a very knowledgeable person might ask?
Curious about this too
I wish I could fake it through a technical interview process to get a technical job; better (and more effective) than imposter syndrome 😅
Now that made it, stop faking it
I see you work at Apple. Could you please DM me? I have a question perhaps you can help me with about the organizations recent expansion. Thanks!
Unless he’s Tim Cook, I doubt he’ll be saying anything.
I think it’s a good trait to have. A lot of tech people usually can’t even tell what they are actually capable of. Faking is an art on another level imo
When I went from American Express to Google, I got $62K more comp, free food, got to wear jeans and t-shirts every day, and enjoyed the dogs in the office. That being said, the start of my Google career was the most miserable 6 months of my life. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn and I'll see if I can help you navigate through this. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alanjstein/
