Do I tell recruiters that I’m waiting to hear back from other companies?

An anonymous question came in asking whether the person should tell other recruiters that they're waiting for responses from other companies. I like transparency in communication, but how much you share is a personal preference. I was always willing to be open with recruiters as a show of goodwill whenever I had other interviews, offers, etc, to help coordinate things. You always want companies to think that they are your number one choice. --This episode came from a live-stream event.

I graduated from a bootcamp a year ago and can’t find a job. What am I doing wrong?

An anonymous question came in Twitch Chat outlining a long list of programming languages and technologies they learned at a code school / bootcamp, and have not been able to find a job in the year since they graduated. I asked for more context in chat, and offered some general advice. I also asked that they contact me offline (we later connected on LinkedIn) to see if I can help them narrow down where they're having trouble. --This episode came from a live-stream event.

I cancelled an interview and the recruiter sent me a rude response. Should I do anything?

A question that I was requested to answer on Quora mentioned that they cancelled an interview and got a very rude response from the recruiter. This is highly unprofesional of them, and I suggest giving the company some feedback. Here are some ideas how to approach this. --This episode came from a live-stream event.

How can we put a demo link on our resume for things like APIs, desktop/mobile/terminal apps, etc.?

Great question from our Discord community regarding my strong preference to having a demonstration link on your resume for project work. If you develop applications which are not browser-based, it's more difficult to let someone explore what you've built. Here are some suggestions for making demo links for mobile apps, desktop apps, programs that run in a terminal/shell, and APIs, etc.. --This episode came from a live-stream event.

Should I pursue a full-time dev job, or build a company around a full-stack app I wrote?

A user in Twitch chat asked my opinion on their employment situation. They're not currently paid to be a software developer, but built some software that makes the company more productive. They asked whether I thought they should turn that software into a freelance business where they adapt the software for other similar industry businesses, OR if I thought they should pursue a full-time development job. I weigh a lot of pros and cons and helped them think about some of the legal implications. --This episode came from a live-stream event.

I don’t understand how to solve leetcode problems. Can I just fake it by memorizing answers?

We had an anonymous question come in on Discord from a person who is struggling to understand how to analyze leetcode problems to work out the algorithm type (the "pattern") and/or the data structure to use. They asked whether they can just memorize the syntax of other peoples' answers to fake like they know what they're doing when they get to an interview. --This episode came from a live-stream event.

How do I talk to my employer about getting a Master’s degree while working full-time?

A user on Twitch asked for advice about getting a Master's degree as a full-time program, while wanting to keep their full-time role at the company. Communicating the value that it will bring to them will be very important. --This episode came from a live-stream event.

What are my thoughts about roles like Data Analysis in the tech industry?

A live chat user on Twitch asked a great question about Data Analysis roles and what I thought of the role. I can't recall the NPR story I listened to a few years ago recarding data analysis and "letting the data tell the story", but I believe it was about census data or something of that nature, and how one awesome lady decided she wasn't going to mold the data to fit a narrative that her public office wanted to tell. Instead, she held firm that they were going to let the data tell the story for them based on the data they had collected. I really wish I could recall the story, it was pretty fascinating. --This episode came from a live-stream event.
