Not him but I've encountered the same. Jeets that are apparently 'senior' or 'principal' level, but lack basic knowledge that I'd expect a college freshman to know. The worst example was a guy who apparently had 5 yoe developing Linux software. I was helping him with some basic on boarding tasks in his first few days. Stuff like clone the repo, setup yoir environment and get everything building.

I show him the wiki page at like 10am, it's got pretty simple instructions, including how to log in to the Linux vm that we use, and let him at it. Check back in on him after lunch, he's wondering why everything doesn't work. He's opened windows command prompt and is blindly copying in the Linux commands from the wiki, ignoring the command not found errors and moving in to the next one.

Thankfully he was let go after a few weeks.

How do they even get jobs with this lack of knowledge?

The three Indians I worked with and who got laid off never updated their employment status on linkedin, despite posting there regularly.
I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe all three of them just didn't think to update their LinkedIn profiles.
After over a year, one managed to secure another job. He immediately updated the end date of his employment with his previous company to the current month so that it looked like he was just switching jobs after nearly 2 years of employment, rather than that he was laid off from his first job after only 6 months and then spent a year unemployed.
Don't companies do background checks for this? My understanding was that this wasn't common because of the very high likelihood of getting caught. I was very surprised that 3/3 of them were doing it.

Having my first phone screen ever as a lateral hire (last time I interviewed was 4 years ago for an internship where the company then offered me a full time role). What should I expect?

>>100134319
do you come from a poor background? sounds like you have aversion to those commitments because you might've had an unstable situation in the past

I've heard you can form those sorts of reactions when you've had highly stressful financial conditions, like putting yourself at risk of an accident by not purchasing new tires until they pop, that kind of irrational stuff.

>>100133900
>How do they even get jobs with this lack of knowledge?

It's the same way other incompetent people get jobs. Companies may have technical screenings but they don't always based their hiring decisions on the results of the screenings. The decisions can be entirely subjective. If you ever wonder why you didn't get hired despite passing everything, this might be the reason.

>>100134412
Nta, but risking financial ruin isn't the same as risking physical safety. Good money management should be practiced regardless of your wealth. If you don't care about taking risks, it's likely due to you have a fallback in case everything goes south (i.e., your parents).

the difference is 30k, and yeah, I can get that in less than 2 years. my 33k wage is after taxes, and I don't spend much

>What would you even need a mortage for?
it'd be convenient for me since the bank manages most of the legal stuff in order to make sure the house is OK, plus interest rates for mortages are lower than other type of credit.

>>100134412

yeah, I agree that you should practice good money management no matter the circumstances, however, that's reliant on the assumption that you are making rational choices to begin with, I've met people that had very good income during some years (to the point where they don't have to care much about money management), but something went wrong for them and downgraded their situation.

After that event they've become financially irrational (e.g. spending is inherently bad), and they end up doing stuff like not fixing the car / house / etc even though it costs more in the long run not to.

>>100134537
I feel ya bud, sorry to hear that about your mom and your family, I have the exact same situation, the difference is I only have about 50% of the money for the house. I'm working on saving more and getting certs so I'm not stressed out if I lose my current job, it also helps to run some numbers and review how much you're spending on rent vs buying, long term wise. If you want to reduce risk then your only friend is information, that's how you fight back that instinct caused by your experiences. Also see >>100134642

I'm not saying you'd do that because you're poor or something, if you had shitty upbringing or nearly went broke and then you recover, you may view avoiding spending (even on necessary things) as a good thing, which ironically puts you in a higher state of risk.

Land ownership has been the best way to secure and store wealth for millennia, and it sounds like you've worked your ass off and you deserve something for it, so get yourself that house.
If you're worried about future financial instability, you may want to consider adjusting numbers for the mortgage so you aren't spending all of your savings at once. You would have the ability to finance a greater portion of the sale price at the cost of a greater monthly payment for the mortgage, but it would leave room for any repairs that come along. Obviously the best case scenario is getting the mortgage paid off very early and you have no debt burden but you don't want to be what Americans would call "house poor." If you can find the sweet spot where you finance enough to have a sizable chunk of savings but little enough that your payment could be affordable if you had to take a shittier job, you're golden.

I knew they were too stupid to realize who actually did the work. The CEO is an egotistical dimwit who wants to get into tech without a single clue about software, and lacks the VC funds needed to hire competent staff, so he just spends money on ex Big tech rejects who get paid as long as they can before he throws a tantrum and fires them. The rest of the engineering teams are third worlders hired mainly because they're cheap, I was the only exception because I'm in Europe.

Yes, but that was like 15 years ago. We were using SVN with some proprietary in-house built wrapper server for it that added special capabilities.

I eventually moved to a non-dev role there for a while, but when I went back to coding years later they had finally switched to Git.

New tech worker here (don't actually know anything about tech). Did I accidentally leak all my company's data by working with it in the Jupyter extension in VScode? It says in the documentation that all the code and the code output goes to their servers. So do they have my company's data now?

The only way to keep your job now is to disable other users at random (make sure to include someone important, that ensures it feels random) and when pressed on it, claim it was a "glitch".
Only that can keep them off your back now.

bros what do we think of exam dumps in general, and examtopics (the website) specifically? I'm going to be grinding out some certs soon and don't plan on stopping for like a year. Yes, I will study for the exams, but some of the certs I'm just there to pass rather than learn.

>>100137921
Legally speaking I have no idea.
In practice I would be excited to use my PC because I went overboard with the specs, whereas the laptop they issued me is some piece of shit with two cores (at least they're hyperthreaded) and 8GB RAM. I would spin up a VM for work though.

>>100138499
I'm definitely staying away from AI tools. Just want to use traditional ML algorithms. Only really planned to stick to sklearn and statsmodels.
I'm really hoping the extension works the same.

>Dis a scam?
After going through questions for an exam until I hit the paywall, I can say the content is great, but I don't know if the price is worth it.
>If they're in pdf form how come you can't find these leaked online?
I found a few pdfs online but the given answers are often wrong (lol). The discussion in each question is important.

>>100138952
That is interesting, I didn't notice that. This site seems to be the most recommended when I looked up best exam dumps. People say the questions on there are really on the exams. Maybe it's there as some sort of legal disclaimer or something? Worst case scenario they're not actually exam questions, but they're still good practice questions (with the discussions included) so it would basically just be like overpaying for a practice test.
Well actually the worst case scenario is the site's a honeypot and I get all my certs revoked, but I feel like someone would have posted a bad review about the site mentioning that by now if that were the case.

>>100139014
proof?

>>100133752
I remember working a for a telecom a few years ago. There were many batch jobs that ran overnight and generated some datafiles which needed to be moved to some system or sent to our third party vendors everyday. Normally this was done with a script as you would imagine but of course sometimes the system would choke and we would need to do it manually and fix the script. That happened one on call shift with two pajeets and the system crashed because the datafile wasn't formatted correctly. I looked at the error and opened the file with a good editor and immediately noticed that file (TSV) had a few extract white space characters which weren't supposed to be there. I remember telling the pajeets to delete the extra characters and check the data downstream (this happened before). As you probably already guess, they didn't understand my "ask".

What the actual fuck is the difference between these? Seems like all the same thing with engineering being highly sql and database focused, business analyst having business knowlege and DA focusing on stats yet these are all stats oriented jobs/fields. Did i answer my own question? Are all these people applying to the same jobs anyway?

>>100139151
My advice would be to use one of those virtual cards that banks supply and that won't be an issue, I think it's far fetched that a vendor would go that far to catch people like that, but if you want peace of mind that's my suggestion.

I also found a number of free exams and was confused with some of the answers, or they were wrong, etc. So maybe it's worth it but I'd only pay for 1 exam and see how it turns out.

The guy literally could not code, at all. As in, can't even write the signature for a function, let alone a loop or an if statement.

We stopped the interview mid way because it was painful for everyone including himself.

I'm not sure how he got the interview in the first place, but I think Pajeets co-opt each other, so probably his cousin or something worked here and referred him.

- times were also tough - make sure your work eligibility on your visa is solid & easy (no hoops for employers to jump thru) and degree is transferable - you may need to live off savings

fairly sure I fucked the interview and wish they'd just tell me I don't pass so I can move on and look for other jobs

100% true. I actually had another job all lined up and i was trying to figure out how to give my 2 weeks notice. One day our CEO took us out to lunch to address how we were interacting with sales and customer support. Instead of telling sales to consult us and telling customer support to stop being rude to my team, he told us we weren’t allowed to just ignore them. I calmly left with everyone else, went back to my desk, grabbed my stuff, left out the back stairwell, and texted my boss that i was done and turned my phone off. I then went to my dads house and drank and floated in the pool for a few days.

>data scientist
The highest tier of these. Gets paid the best, probably 6 figures minimum in burgerland, and requires the most experience and knowledge. Uses ML, knows stats, knows programming well so they can reliably deploy models, knows database architecture well, knows how to interface with stakeholders and identify/develop projects. Basically the senior complete data analyst package.
>data analyst/business analytics/BI analyst/etc.
basically whatever they want you to be, which goes for pretty much the whole family of drooling retard analysts. No one knows. every data analyst will be doing something a little different at their job. For example I'm a data analyst. I don't use stats at all. I have been given free reign to play around with predictive analytics, but our department doesn't do any at the moment. I basically run some routine reports, do ad hoc data requests, and chat with my co workers. Yeah the business ones will be expected to be business savvy. Your will be excel and some insights package to make dashboards and visualizations with: tableau or power bi.
>data engineer
does actual important back end database maintenance as I understand it. The analysts just get shit out of the database, but you maintain it. ETL, create fields, etc.

DS gets paid the most. Probably data engineers next, but there are some wacky situations where business analysts make a lot because they have lots of rizz or some shit.

He made no comment about how I haven't done any.
Will he just keep shoveling them on like a bot without noticing that I'm not doing them? I don't want to do them I just want to play video games.
I don't really care if I get fired since money is basically useless now.

>>100142929
The pay depends. A data scientist is typically a glorified analyst that knows statistics and machine learning. Statistics aren't even that hard and you get it covered in any university degree which they will ask for anyway. They typically still need to go to a data engineer or devops to deploy their models. If they don't do this it means their company simply hasn't hired a devops or data engineer to do it for them and that can lead to some ... interesting software infrastructure.

> data engineer
They typically are charged with doing it. However an analyst that is doing more complicated analytics will also need to know the ETL. A non existent data engineer will mean the analyst will need to come up with solutions himself. That means adding columns to a database, creating views or worst of all writing giga long SQL queries to retrieve data. Alternatively if there is some DWH solution, maintain that. If it's a data lake solution enjoy the noSQL bs that needs to interact with the SQL stuff.

It's not really straightforward and your job might differ from company to company. The excel monkey analysts aren't really being hired anymore anyway.

>>100143632
To add: I went into data analytics because I found it a bit easier and here in euroland (Netherlands) it pays the same at most companies as data science or data engineering does. Data scientist jobs are hyper competitive with hundreds of applicants since you have degrees in it and fresh grads then immediately want a pure data science job. I got an offer right out of uni 2 years ago from Shell for about 51k / yr. I took an analyst position at a giga bank for 65k / yr but I hated it there. So I took an analyst position at a small company where I initially got paid like 60k (and only 36 hrs work week and not 40) and now I'm making around 73k.

In US the salaries differ a lot. It's quite wild that at the bank I was working a senior analyst was making around 90-100k euro while in the US department they were getting 90-120k$. But the cost of living in US was much higher. The data scientists there were making around 150-200k though, which I found interesting because in the Netherlands the pay between data scientists and analysts was the same.

Welcome to first world issues where despite the much higher salaries in other countries you will still feel poor due to the sword called mortgage that's floating above your head. Most older people who had their debts deflate and house prices boom are good though, its just when you just enter it is made insanely tough.

So there is a chance to get a side hustle gig without references, thanks anon. I interviewed for a company offering a 12-month contract and when they asked me for two references I felt bummed. I don't want to ask ex-colleagues to answer their calls and provide a reference for me when it's basically an extra income that maybe won't work and I will terminate after 2 months.

>>100143821
>still feel poor due to the sword called mortgage that's floating above your head.
The NEETs are right, living with your parents is better:
1) Way nicer neighborhood than you can afford since they've circled the wagons and stopped building to keep the immigrants out
2) Everything is familiar
3) Your mom will make you chicken nuggets
Optimal of course is WFH in your parent's house. Mortgages are for couples and your wife can pay half until you have kids and you have enough equity you can get by on one income.

>>100133900
>How do they even get jobs with this lack of knowledge?
It took me a long time to learn (I was a NEET) that a lot of people working sucks badly at the job they are paid for.

You are not alone DS bro. I'm a DS as well and got laid off after working so hard and having to built the shittiest pipelines due to a lack of budget. That and discarding my findings because my manager didn't agree with them so I had to create slides with his "recommendations" instead for the GLT.
An advice: focus on data engineering. Data science is for the bullish market when companies have lots of money to burn. Nowadays they are okay with basic stats.

Since you've been a data analyst for a while, what's your day to day looking like now?
Yeah the pay situation over there is very interesting. In America there's no way an analyst would make close to what a data scientist makes. I make 50k/year as an analyst I don't actually do anything, but this is also my 2nd month on the job and also my first real job. No quantitative education. DS makes around double that.

>>100140817
are you remote? do they give you a phone? if so, install teams or whatever app you use for meetings in the phone
but seriously, taking a shit is beyond a right, it's a human need. if they ever fire you for that... I guess you need to start collecting (or producing) evidence now
still, no one cares about 2 minutes.

>>100135809
Idk why companies think it is ever a good idea to fire someone without any kind of announcement or preparation but just randomly at a 15-30 minute meeting. I was contemplating assault on the seacow who did that to me when I lost a job in 2021 (was in probation period, so I wasn't even entitled to unemployment!).

>>100143845
Being NEET is unimaginable comfortable if your parents have a three story house and you're sitting on a floor that separates you from them. You get the cheap appartment experience without the cost in this way. If you get along well with your parents it is a huge bonus.

You can save a lot for a down payment, and then have a lighter mortgage. It also allows you to buy in areas you otherwise wouldn't be able to afford with a gf. Don't expect a girl to bring in as much money as you do. But at the notary you can always declare that you always owe the percentage of the home relative to the money you bring in so even if you breakup you don't lose the money.

>>100136779

I have a choice to make between staying at my current startup company or moving to big tech

> current company was a wreck at the beggining of the year: 15 persons were layoff from 80 persons company, CFO quits, payments were late by one week, CEO says he's working on getting a loan from a bank to keep payroll.
> things are normal at the moment, I have comfy WFH, I like my team but at startups shit can hit the fan at any moment
> I'm close to getting an offer from big tech (well, local big tech) but there are somee things I don't like: unpaid on call weeks, first three months of hybrid work, tech leads seemed like cucks that would happily bend to any corporate mandate
>they had some doubts about my introverted mood and how well I could fit the "cultural values" but somehow my skills ended up convincing them.

tl;dr: I could get a 20% - 30% salary raise from big company but I didn't like their mood and cultural shit. However my current startup is probably a ticking bomb. What's the best choice here?

I'm working at a small company of 60 FTE that is semi-government. The pay is better than most private sector jobs in this country (lel welcome to Europe).

Day to day would be developing stuff in power BI, sitting in stakeholder meetings, writing advice reports, writing some python scripts to automate or handle some ETL processes. The later is pretty rare for a data analyst but if the company is small and doesn't hire a data engineer you get to do that yourself. I like the current job a lot because I get a lot of freedom. I can start at 10 am and leave at 4, and when WFH I get to make my own schedule. No deadlines are very hard either. Incompetence is high so it is easy to stand out positively with minimal effort if you have knowledge of how to do things. The more interesting stuff I do are things that handle risks and risk classifications. I can easily take that non-tech experience into a lot of other jobs out there.

This is what I wish I could communicate to other people my age (late 20s). More money, more house, more things, more responsibilities, less mobility. I am married and I love my wife. But I make so much money that we have become used to a lifestyle that was unthinkable to us 10 years ago. I love my family so much that I would never want their standard of living to go backwards in any measurable way. Golden handcuffs man. I'm in the process of hoarding cash so that I don't quite feel the sword of damocles over my head every time my boss is in a bad mood. I want to be in a position in life where I no longer fear unemployment. It's not that I'm personally or emotionally invested in the performance of my company; I'm afraid of economic ruin

>>100144559
That's great and it's attainable but 150k house at 30k a year salary probably isn't doable. You willing to put 20% down at 30k initially? You've got to do all the math and see if your monthly mortgage, your utilities, insurance, bills and investments can all be funded feasibly. Add to that emergency funds for when shit will inevitably break, (or you need a new roof etc) and the answer might not be as solid.
