I remember back like 6 years ago I used to run a D2 bot during the night where it would find some shit and it was cool to wake up in the morning and check the drops.

I was wondering if any good free bots still exist?



P.S. Looking for a entry level CS job, if you guys know any let me know I got a pretty decent resume

pm'd

Awesome! Thanks man

How old are you? Still in college? Most universities have a pretty decent career center that can get you interviews, or at least give you contact information for the recruiters. Failing that, just fill out applications on companies' websites. Before you do, I'd suggest writing a pretty good cover letter since a lot of them require one, and even if not it'll make you look better. Doubtful that anyone here will be able to help much. A career center can also review your resume and cover letter and suggest changes to make it look better.

I'm not sure how practiced you are in the interview process, but there are lots of "do's and don't's" guides out there. Most importantly, act professional, research the company (and at least act interested in what they do), and ask questions to the interviewer. Come up with answers to common behavioral questions and think about how you can apply those answers to other questions you don't expect (aka the answer to "When is a time you overcame adversity in a team project and how did you solve the problem?" might be applicable to a question like "What qualities make a good leader?" since you could describe some qualities and then demonstrate that you showed those qualities in solving that situation. Interviewers love that shit).

I've had a couple dozen interviews, and in general I've been asked way more behavioral questions than technical ones. When solving a technical question, make sure you spell out what you're thinking at each step of the way so the interviewer can understand your thought process. If you don't know, say "I don't know but from what I do know, I would guess the solution would be something like...". If you get it wrong, they got to see how you thought and attempted to solve it, and if you get it right they'll be really impressed that you thought it out on the spot using knowledge you already had to apply it to the situation.

Finally, make sure you read over your resume and refresh your memory on everything on there before going in.

Indeed, I am graduating in a month with a degree in CS. I already have a job lined up but I am not sure if it is going to last long (it is a start-up) so I am just looking for a job at a large company where you have more job security.

You know what else I am looking for? Some D2 startup gear / account that you are not using cause its gonna take forever for me to level up a Hammerdin and gear him up lol

And thanks for the advice, I really do appreciate it! I liked the part about using answers from different questions (Adversity, team project) to solve more general questions.

Ah nice, I'm graduating the same time.

Well there are always the common computer/software companies that you can go to doing any number of things. Pretty much any company you can think of needs programmers to some extent or other, even hardware companies since they need people to write device drivers and stuff. Other companies you wouldn't think of want programmers as well (I saw American Airlines and Exxon looking). I preferred to stick to companies where computer engineers play a bigger role since I've heard that companies that don't really use them for business aspects tend to belittle the programmers since they don't really add to the profit line. Something to consider.
