More power to you if you do.

It's a rare sober Friday night. Not gonna do it for many reasons, just was curious. A college friend joined up after initially starting with an engineering firm, but died in training two weeks ago. Just letting my mind wander

@pwc we're not too sure still. His family is keeping it close to the chest. But he was in BUD/S for becoming a SEAL so the preliminary thought was drowning or something exhaustion related :/

I'm sorry for your loss, friend. 😞 were you thinking of enlisting?

I've heard of leaving and becoming an officer but not enlisting. Although, it's easier to get a SEAL spot as an enlisted guy which is probably the reason he did it.

So sorry for your lost :(

So sorry for your loss. I think a lot about joining navy as an officer. Would not enlist. BUD/S is some scary shit.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company.

I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $400k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
