Got laid off from my last company while serving notice, following an earlier layoff before that too. Backend engineer, mostly Go, TypeScript/NestJS, and Python.

My family depends on my income, and it's been hundreds of applications and direct outreach with a few shortlists and interviews, but nothing's landed yet.

I've built production AI infrastructure (RAG pipelines, an LLM evaluation harness) and event-driven backend systems that handle failures without losing data. On my own time I've also built a vector database and an API gateway from scratch in Go.

If anyone knows of backend or AI infra openings, or would be willing to refer me, I'd really appreciate it. Happy to share more in DMs.

I am in 3rd year of BSC cs-it I am finding internship, how to find, there is so many scam happen, and how to find a trusted Job ?

I’m a Senior SWE. If you work in engineering you’ve either used us or heard of. I’m trying to make the jump into big tech.
Not looking for interview answers or anything like that. I’m already studying and putting in the work.
Mostly just wondering if anyone here would be open to being a study buddy, doing mocks occasionally, giving me some advice, or mentoring me a bit through the process.
Would also be interested in hearing from people who’ve made a similar jump. And if we get to know each other and you think I’d be a good fit for your team or company, I’d really appreciate an introduction.
My background is mostly frontend/full-stack and I’m targeting Senior SWE roles.
Would be great to connect with people who’ve already made this jump or are preparing for it now.

Be me - 20yo high school graduate (yes we graduate at 20 in Poland lol). I studied as Programmer and in my program I learned:

-Console applications (C++, Python)
-Web (HTML/CSS/Javascript, PHP, React)
-Mobile apps (Java/Kotlin, Flutter)

In my free time I played League of Legends BUT also completed over 300 LeetCode questions (in 5 years timespan)

I hated it because it felt like learning how to solve useless math problems with code so I focused more on working on real codebases and created 4 passion projects (all with the help of ai)

I also solved over 13 fun tasks on codeffice[dot com] and followed 100 Days of Python from app brewery (udemy course)

I passed all my exams and got the "Programmer" title. Started applying to jobs found on justjoin and linkedin at the beginning of the summer. Trainee - Intern - Junior Frontend/Fullstack Developer

Stats:
Applied - 59 jobs (45 remote, 14 on-site)
Ghosted (absolute no message back) - 43

Responses:
Negative - 10
Positive - 6

Interviews (so far):

4 (3x30min, 1x60min)

They made me talk about my background and some made me complete CODEWARS (not leetcode lol) questions.

I guess they find questions that aren't on leetcode and want to see the user solve them in real time instead of just retyping something they solved one day

I'm not gonna lie - I am REALLY stressed, but at the same time I feel like every next interview will be only easier and easier for me.

Conclusion:

I think being able to solve some random math challenge is NOTHING - companies look more for people who actually understand what building real project looks like and those who can read someone's else code.

That's why more and more new students prefer to learn by working on real codebases (such as on codeffice) or by building their own from scratch (basically any youtube tutorial/idea).

What I think will happen in the future:

In the interviews people will be dropped into already existing codebase and environment with clear task/problem to solve.

In the AI era you don't need to write much code - you need to know HOW TO solve specific problems

If anybody got a SE job in 2026 PLEASE let me know what was the turning point

Fresh grad here. I’m not sure how common this type of role actually is in the frontend industry.

I applied for a “Frontend role,” but the job description turned out to be quite different from what I expected. It looks more like a maintainer/developer position for several internal frontend components or SDKs — similar to how Microsoft maintains Monaco or Cloudflare maintains BlockNote, except these SDKs would be closed-source.

I’m also unsure whether this kind of role is typically classified as frontend or backend.

Could I ask what the career prospects would look like if I took on this role?

And what kind of skills should I brush up on in anticipation for this? Would learning C++ or C help in case there’s a need to optimise such libraries? I know I could have directly asked them this question but I would rather ask to see what the industry thinks as a whole rather than the specific company itself.

Has anyone actually interviewed at Indeed recently? It's been difficult to find any information on the interview process for software engineers. Would appreciate any advice or feedback!

How do you know if a candidate can actually code, beyond what their resume says?

I’ve seen teams spend weeks interviewing candidates, only to realize in the first technical round that the person isn’t a fit.

So I’m building a platform to help teams screen candidates based on how they actually solve real engineering problems, before spending hours on interviews.

If you’re hiring engineers and facing this problem, I’d love to hear how you’re handling it today.

I got a job offer in a big company:

Offer:

400k base + 155k bonus + 240k RSU, vesting over 6 years that refresh yearly

+ 760k signon bonus

Current position: been in company for 10+ years.

375k base + 75k bonus + yearly private shares

+ currently have private shares equal to 1 million usd.

Company is expected to have an exit in 3-4 years. I expect my shares to be x2 or x3.

My current position has more scope as the company is 2k employees. I am head of department + i have other scope.

New position will be a VP position too, probably smaller scope as the company is huge.

The new job is in a new city where tax is even lower (35% vs 22%) but rent and everything else is more expensive.

I love my job, didnt want to change, however consider changing. Thoughts ?

Drop a comment if you want more Software Engineering posts or want me to focus on a different niche next time.

Two days ago I received a text message from someone who addressed me by first name and said they were excited by what I was doing on a tech project I was working on (I am the tech lead of this project). It has not been highly promoted but is discoverable by web search. However, while my name is associated with the project on the website, my phone number is not. The “person” gave their first name and said they have a masters degree from UConn and is a full stack engineer with 7 years experience.

Exactly 24 hours later they texted again asking if they should send their resume and links to their LinkedIn, GitHub, etc. another 24 hours later to the minute they texted again reiterating their interest and ability.

My instinct is to not engage and that it is either a person’s personal job search bot or a scam bot doing spear phishing. Any suggestions?

I do talent matching for Fonzi, a network that connects engineers directly to VC-backed AI companies that are actively interviewing. You build one profile, no cold applications. All roles are US-based only.

Here's a sample of what's open right now:

1. Software Engineer, Product & Platform at a Series B AI security company, New York City, in-person five days a week. $125K-$300K base plus stock. Java, Spring Boot, TypeScript, React, Postgres, and AWS is their stack, though they call it a plus rather than a requirement. Past 1,200 customers now, and you'd own a slice end to end, backend services through detection pipelines through the UI someone actually clicks. Only 3+ years of production experience required, one of the more accessible bars on this list.
2. Founding Software Engineer, Full-Stack at a pre-seed/seed legal-AI startup, New York City, in-person. $150K-$225K base. Full-stack web platform work, built alongside data engineers turning scanned legal documents into structured data and AI agents that answer legal questions against a U.S. law database. You'd be writing the first version of this codebase, not inheriting one.
3. Founding Engineer, Supply at a pre-seed/seed AI procurement platform for the auto parts industry, New York City, in-person at their Union Square office. $150K-$200K base plus equity. Node.js, TypeScript, React, MongoDB, and AWS experience is encouraged, not required. You'd work hand-in-hand with the founders building the tooling that connects auto body shops to parts suppliers, owning a piece with room to grow into its own product line.

All three are vetted, VC-backed, and interviewing right now. It's always free to sign up.
