My Freshman teacher only had one student pass. We all had to retake Algebra and she got fired next year.

My Geometry teacher was a primary Germany teacher.

my calc and linear algebra professor has a few kids in highschool and he sometimes has his kid's teacher come up to him and ask him for advice on math lol

Who was a combination of being racist and sexist 😂

lol ubermench right there

Dayum.

I know right?

whereas math professors in college have a phd in math (or a masters if they teach at a community college)

@Big T This makes me sad.

whats that?

The standard, or focus isn't held to the same degree sub college.

Well, dependent of course.

I don't believe the school/education system is doing too hot.

oh regarding highschool/middle school. yup you typically need a bachelors degree, but not with any real focus. something that i think many ppl are not aware of

this is why you would get answers like "it just is that way" or "because i said so" when asking why in math and other subjects

the teacher did a refresher crash course in algebra the night before

i'd be surprised if they could even prove the quadratic formula

Hit them with it as a POP QUIZ.

Speaking of Networking.

I have an interview in 2-weeks.

The company is paying to fly me out, pay for hotel, car rental, and food.

If I get this job I snag a 20-25k bump in salary.

Anxiety is to one-hundo right now.

Brushing up on concepts to smoothen the experience.

ooo! that sounds promising.

do you guys do interviews like software devs?

I was surprised. My first interview was generalities on phone. The second was with the HR Director and Intern. The third was a conference call with the Network Manager, and a few Engineer's. I had to cram that into a 50 minute lunch session because the WebEx confirmation ID that processes my call into their conference room was borked. I was extremely anxious, and I didn't answer questions as smoothly or as in depth as I normally am capable of. I thought it went kinda mediocre.

Possibly?

The final interview is on-site at their HQ.

I'll be doing a 4-hour interview with lunch provided on white board and stuff.

I'm sure I'll be quizzed on different technical questions and then be asked to break it down.

white board eh? sounds pretty similar

for software devs they give you some oddball scenario and ask you to devise an algorithm or program to address it.

if youve had that many interviews, then it sounds like very promising

they wouldnt keep asking you if they didnt like what they see

This is true. This is for a Junior Network Engineer position. I applied because of an online friend I know who originally was in this position before he moved due to family reasons. He said that they're a good bunch and are extremely reasonable with what to expect out of a Junior.

Which makes me happy because a Junior is not supposed to have an Expert level certification, and 5-years experience...

Some applications I come across. Phew.

lol the ones written by some HR person who hears "it would nice if they had this" from the lead dev and translates it to "must have"
