I think it's certainly incorrect (having known lots of people on both sides of that number, there are far far more below). Another comment thread suggested that startup equity is being taken at face value, which might justify the number but is totally ridiculous
Sentry.io (http://sentry.io) | Senior Software Engineer, Storage | ONSITE (San Francisco or Seattle, 3:2) | Full-time
Sentry.io builds a suite of application monitoring tools that developers love. The Search and Storage team builds out high-volume ingestion (hundreds of thousands of records per second) for our near-real-time event and metric storage built on top of the columnar data store ClickHouse. We’re looking for a seasoned engineer who has dealt with high-volume, production-traffic serving systems who’s searching for a new challenge.
The vast majority of our work is source-available; come take a look at what our team is working on at https://github.com/getsentry/snuba. Note that this position does have an on-call component.
That's interesting - what is Apple building on Java? They're still on Java 6 I think? I thought they deprecated their Java system APIs years ago as well?
Been a while since I worked at Apple but it would likely still be:
- Apple ID
- Apple Online Store
- App Store
- Bug Reporter/Radar
- iCloud Apps e.g. Mail.
- iTunes Connect
- iTunes Store
- WWDC
Pretty much all of the internal apps will be in Java unless they are using off the shelf software e.g. discussions. In addition you would have all of the companies they acquired and whatever tech stacks they use e.g. Siri.
Apple have an OSS framework built on Netty (whose lead developer is employed by Apple) named ServiceTalk, and this talk [1] says that almost all back end services are Java-based.
I have no idea where the idea of Java 6 being in use comes from.
> where the idea of Java 6 being in use comes from
Possibly from confusion with the last time Apple actually shipped a JDK/runtime to the public. They used to produce their own optimized distribution, which had better Cocoa widgets among other things. It was part of the original big push to get decs on OSX, it’s mentioned in Jobs’s keynotes etc. They later deprecated it once they reached critical mass, and discontinued it; if i remember correctly, the last jdk they shipped was a v6.
If you have the budget, hire a personal trainer for 1-2 hours/week. It's not cheap, but having to make the appointment or lose the money you spent is a huge motivator. They'll probably work you harder than you would work alone as well as enforce good form. I got started lifting weights this way.
Then you'll be motivated to work out on your own to save money.
Not an employee, but I'm pretty sure that the interview is the same for all engineering roles, unless you're very senior/specialized. I doubt that your interviewers will even know that you're up for a ML position specifically.
I think the point the parent was trying to make is that responding to a recruiter isn't likely to get you ANY job, because they don't understand the job reqs they're recruiting for nor the people they're trying to place.
