No, just say you're not working more than 40 hours and they can suck your dick. If they don't like it they can fire you. Remember to claim the unemployment bucks so their UI rates go up.

I feel so poor. I graduated 3 years ago and since then I went from 50k to only 74k at my company. Every time I look for another job they give me a salary range and offer the bottom. I have 3k in my checking, about 10k in my savings and everything else is in investments and my retirement. I don't even understand why I invest I just do what I was advised to do. I'll probably die before I can use the money. I still live with my parents. Is it over? I'm struggling to find a better paying job.

>>100183176Lie in the comments. You don't have to actively lie, just fail to keep comments as up to date with the code.

Pepper the code with comments like /* add 1 to i */ however, never document wooly stuff like the overall purpose of the package or method.

Make sure that every method does a little bit more (or less) than its name suggests. As a simple example, a method named isValid(x) should as a side effect convert x to binary and store the result in a database.

Use acronyms to keep the code terse. Real men never define acronyms; they understand them genetically.

In the interests of efficiency, avoid encapsulation. Callers of a method need all the external clues they can get to remind them how the method works inside.

If, for example, you were writing an airline reservation system, make sure there are at least 25 places in the code that need to be modified if you were to add another airline. Never document where they are. People who come after you have no business modifying your code without thoroughly understanding every line of it.

In the name of efficiency, use cut/paste/clone/modify. This works much faster than using many small reusable modules.
Never never put a comment on a variable. Facts about how the variable is used, its bounds, its legal values, its implied/displayed number of decimal points, its units of measure, its display format, its data entry rules (e.g. total fill, must enter), when its value can be trusted etc. should be gleaned from the procedural code. If your boss forces you to write comments, lard method bodies with them, but never comment a variable, not even a temporary!

>>100183236
for them it's just old good new bad

>>100183290
Exactly. And they're extremely adamant about it, despite clear evidence that we work just as hard remotely, if not more. People are happier at home, too, so they should be actually happy to see the increase in productivity. But no, to them "everything is quiet and sterile." They dont understand that you can be working virtually and still having things work out.

Try to pack as much as possible into a single line. This saves the overhead of temporary variables, and makes source files shorter by eliminating new line characters and white space. Tip: remove all white space around operators. Good programmers can often hit the 255 character line length limit imposed by some editors. The bonus of long lines is that programmers who cannot read 6 point type must scroll to view them.

Cd wrttn wtht vwls s mch trsr. When using abbreviations inside variable or method names, break the boredom with several variants for the same word, and even spell it out longhand once in while. This helps defeat those lazy bums who use text search to understand only some aspect of your program. Consider variant spellings as a variant on the ploy, e.g. mixing International colour, with American color and dude-speak kulerz. If you spell out names in full, there is only one possible way to spell each name.

These are too easy for the maintenance programmer to remember. Because there are so many different ways to abbreviate a word, with abbreviations, you can have several different variables that all have the same apparent purpose. As an added bonus, the maintenance programmer might not even notice they are separate variables.

Never use an automated source code tidier to keep your code aligned. Lobby to have them banned them from your company on the grounds they create false deltas in PVCS (version control tracking)

>>100183113
>either way you wont need to fill this form
that was my suspicion, thanks for confirming anon, I'll ask them why they send me that form tomorrow

>>100183176
Never put in any { } surrounding your if/else blocks unless they are syntactically obligatory. If you have a deeply nested mixture of if/else statements and blocks, especially with misleading indentation, you can trip up even an expert maintenance programmer.
Rigidly follow the guidelines about no goto, no early returns, and no labelled breaks especially when you can increase the if/else nesting depth by at least 5 levels.
Use very long variable names that differ from each other by only one character, or only in upper/lower case. An ideal variable name pair is swimmer and swimner. Exploit the failure of most fonts to clearly discriminate between ilI1| or oO08 with identifier pairs like parselnt and parseInt or D0Calc and DOCalc. l is an exceptionally fine choice for a variable name since it will, to the casual glance, masquerade as the constant 1. Create varible names that differ from each other only in case e.g. HashTable and Hashtable.
Wherever scope rules permit, reuse existing unrelated variable names. Similarly, use the same temporary variable for two unrelated purposes (purporting to save stack slots). For a fiendish variant, morph the variable, for example, assign a value to a variable at the top of a very long method, and then somewhere in the middle, change the meaning of the variable in a subtle way, such as converting it from a 0-based coordinate to a 1-based coordinate. Be certain not to document this change in meaning.
Use lower case l to indicate long constants. e.g. 10l is more likely to be mistaken for 101 that 10L is.

We are governed by leftist idiots who are voted by leftist idiots, anon. The stupid Spanish president thinks all big companies are bad and anyone who earns above 50k is rich, so they heavily tax both.

For me right now:
>company pays 112k euro
>I earn 85k gross euro
>so actually I earn 56k net euro
>also have to pay 21% direct tax on everything I buy that isn't food.
But hey healthcare is free, oh wait if you have a non-urgent surgery you need to wait 8 months on average to get it, so you better have private insurance for all non life-threatening health issues you could have. Pay 50 euro per month for it.
Also public education is shit, so be ready to shed 400-500 euro per month if you want to enroll your child into a private school. Otherwise good luck with the school they get assigned to.

>>100186330

>>100186375
>>company pays 112k euro
>>I earn 85k gross euro
>>so actually I earn 56k net euro
You get taxed twice?

>>100186413
I assume the company pays 112k, of that 40ish go into healthcare, social security, pension, etc.
then anon pays actual taxes and gets 56k in the end.

>>100186375
Damn, sounds pretty grim
I think public sector services are going to shit all over Europe but at least in the north the wages still somehow cover most of it

>>100186413
Yes, that's how it works in europe.
>employer pays you your gross salary and also 50-80% of that to the state for healthcare, pension fund, etc.
>then you pay 50% of your gross salary to the state for healthcare, pension, church, etc.
So in the end around 25% of your total cost of employment actually makes it's way to you.

Another thing about old people in the office is that, they complain about how much you're not suffering.
"oh anon you dont take loans, have a wife or things to take care of? you're not that serious in your life"
nigga I cut whatever that drains my life and bank account. Can't afford to have more liabilities than I should

>>100186477
I suppose that explains why salaries are so shitty in europe, if the employer has the same budget for hiring then has to spend half of it before even paying you.

>>100186413
Thrice if you consider the 21% tax on everything you buy, anon.

>>100186523
That's really just a sales tax though, everything is just more expensive. You still only get taxed twice when the money lands in your account.

Bros I really need advice.

Is this plan okay if a company mandates RTO:
- take a vacation (all available days)
- come back and work a week or two
- take a sick leave for a month (around 70% salary)
- come back and work for a week or two
- quit and don't work the notice (additional month of free salary)

I'm just NOT going back into the goycage to have everything online, meetings, code and everything like a retard. Can this plan backfire? They technically cannot snitch me out to companies that I apply to?

>They technically cannot snitch me out to companies that I apply to?
Nope, they definitely can. As long as it's truthful.

A lot of companies don't say anything cause they're scared of getting taken to court, which even if they win will still cost them money. Even then there are a lot of phrases that the new company will know mean 'do not hire this person'

Why not just get a new job and quit now? You must have some marketable skills, right?

Sure, taxes here are pretty high, but you're fucking stupid if you think you'll have it better in countries like Germany where both the taxes and the cost of living are even higher.
And if you're gonna suck amerilard dick, you'd better go to a place like Texas or Delaware where taxes aren't as high as in Commiefornia or Jew York, but good luck getting into the country as a non-Indian and finding a tech job there.

Less unemployment, more foreign companies settling in Spain, less taxes during Aznar's time.

Which is 24k annually. Wow, Anon, you must be rich being able to pay a house with 10 years of your savings.

You are high class.
>you're fucking stupid if you think you'll have it better in countries like Germany where both the taxes and the cost of living are even higher.
I'm not putting Germany as an example because it has the same issue everybody in Europe has, with an exception: your 80k salary there is a normal salary if you are an engineer (a friend earns >100k with 5 YOE counting bonuses and stocks), and in Spain it isn't. Guess who will come back to Spain and buy whatever the fuck he wants to enjoy a comfy life in a few years from now.

Yeah, and paying 2500€ for a broom closet, 10€ for 1kg of chicken breasts and 3€ for a single train ticket is normal there. What about it? You'd actually take a 30% salary increase for a 10% tax increase, 50% or higher cost of living, double the niggers. triple the autists and mentally ill people, shit weather and horrible food?
Anyway, let's not compare ourselves to other European countries, it makes little sense when the whole continent is so fucked. Comparing cities to cities and towns to towns, Spain is still better off (except for Moróstoles and Morospitalet) than many countries.

Before you sperg out, I am not defending taxes, I am saying the situation is not much better anywhere else (relevant, with tech jobs abundant) in the world.

Regarding Commiefornia, in the end, it's just a matter of how much can you save once you take care of the basic needs. You can save up to 2k living a comfy and simple life, and I can save up to 2.5k, 3k if I don't eat out nor do any leisure activities with friends that involve renting something, hiring a service or travelling elsewhere. In Commiefornia you can save up a shitton more if you do that.

Who else can literally stop their billion dollar company with just one ssh and a few command lines?
Sometimes I keep thinking how did I get to this point, and why I would never have the balls to do it...
Even with ZT policies, there is always a super super admin for everything. Why are executive boomers like this?

What do you do if you're invited to an interview but it falls within your normal working hours? I can't get any time to attend said interview.

>>100186148
>>Frontend so the website or app doesn't suck balls and scare people away
>>Backend for the service logic
>>UX/UI so the interface isn't shit
Why the fuck are you on /g/ if you cant even do that? I can put up a Reacjs site right now.

Cover Letters are for pussies, never bother with them and still get any job I want.

>>100186832
the guy at my work absolutely does that. he has a new kid, too, but you can tell he works late to stay away from home.

Data Science/Data Engineering/Data Analysis. Mentioning the three because I end up doing everything: building pipelines, analysing data, developing models and applying MLOPs

>>100187222
But you are doing something. They're paying you to be available during working hours in case something urgent comes up.

>>100188992
Too bad you don't get your time and money investment back.
>>100188994
You might be going too broad. Jacks of all trades are often undercut, unless you can sell yourself as a 10x rockstar.

People on this general are saying faang. There are plebbitors here

>>100188784
Yeah tell me about it, anon. At that moment an ordinary property would go on sale in the morning, I would call, the owner would tell me he had 2 couples already seeing it today and tomorrow and that I could see it after them, and then I would receive a call saying that the first couple was buying it. So basically the couple saw it and decided on the spot that they wanted it. Rinse and repeat for every fucking shitty property.
I prefer this market: properties need more than 2-3 months to be sold and go through some discounts in the process, so I have plenty of time to accumulate money, visit them, negotiate a bit and take my time to think this through.

>>100189028
>Too bad you don't get your time and money investment back.
You gained something more useful. Experience. Now stop crying.

>>100188988
Or you can always go twice a week on Saturday and Sunday morning, dedicate 1.5-2 hours each day to do a fullbody routine and then rest for 5 days. If somebody doesn't exercise it's because they are making excuses.

>>100189028
It is what it is, anon. First job was being a cloud admin and managing migrations in data, second building dashboard, reports and pipelines, third doing exploratory analysis and presenting them to C-suite and now I'm back to DA/DE. Good thing is that I can opt to a lot of jobs thanks to dipping my toes in many different fields through job hopping.

>>100189044
Experience is only useful, if you succeed in the end. You can't be sure, when or if you will. Business CAN be more profitable but is also much more risky than employment.

>>100189082
>Experience is only useful, if you succeed in the end
No, experience is always useful. You learn from failures as much as you do from success.

>Business CAN be more profitable but is also much more risky than employment.

No one says you have to quit your slave job.

>>100188966
>>100188707
I've always had better luck by not including a cover letter
Less is more I guess, if you've got an interesting background on your CV they'll be intrigued and call you up
If you write a verbose cover letter you risk tumbling your spaghetti or coming across as a boring wanker

>>100189105
>No, experience is always useful. You learn from failures as much as you do from success.
Anything learned is meaningless, unless you put it to good use.
>No one says you have to quit your slave job.
Fair point.

>>100189028
>You might be going too broad. Jacks of all trades are often undercut, unless you can sell yourself as a 10x rockstar.
Seems pretty common in Euroland, I'm a DE and often see DE paired with BI or ML
And you're right, these often pay low because they want one person to do the job of two, and for a fraction of the price of one specialist

what's the best single page CV template? The one I've been using can't fit my experience anymore. It doesn't have to be A4, it can be a bit longer as long as its a "single" file, I know HR niggers don't like multiple pages.

in a world of chatgpt, what's the use of coding tasks on interviews? As long as the candidate understands the concepts and what to do, why does he have to know syntax when u can generate all that shit with basic description

I'm suddenly losing my interest, I was hoping to have a comfy side hustle and that sounds like having endless meetings with them. But at the same time I feel bad dropping from the process so I think I'll have another interview with them just for practice. Or maybe not, I'm undecided. What should I do, anons?

>>100189288
I thought about that but I'm a massive pussy who likes to pretend he's loyal. Guess it's my only option.

take it and ask for the salary you actually want

>>100189445
I agreed to a daily rate already anon. I can always ask for more but that's going to be a bit shitty. I already went 50% about the rate they proposed and they accepted.

>>100189038
Yup. Parent finally managed to buy a house this year, after trying for almost three years. Every time it was the same story you described, they'd either not get to see the house at all or their cash offer would be declined since others were making offers way above the market, all with mortgages.
This time they were even able to negotiate the price.
I hope the rate stays high this year so I can have a chance at buying my own place without having the "privilege" to pay double the price over 35 years.

Is it common for junior/entry level developers to afford staying at another location overnight for a f2f interview?

I finally have my first offer to do a f2f interview at a web shop (mainly c#, web development). However, I live in the middle of fucking nowhere and this job is a 12 hours train journey away from me. The only way for me to go would be to book a hotel and stay overnight there to take the interview the next day. The expenses would be £130 for the hotel and £100 for the train journey with return, not accounting food.

I'm currently an unemployed self taught developer, so I'm considering getting a local part time job to finance attending job interviews if this is the case.

Is this BS? The part about "considering me for other roles"?
>The hiring manager has chosen to move forward with another candidate so we will not be able to explore this particular role further at this time. We will continue to consider you for similar roles as they become available, and we look forward to exploring those opportunities with you.

>>100189540
It's always bs. Rejection emails come in various varieties. Whenever you get a rejection, just stop reading. It's not worth it.

>>100189540
"consider" doesnt mean "we will choose you."

>>100189540
it's bs, I've got hundreds of emails like this over the years
not a single one of them got back to me to talk about other openings in their companies

>>100189519
Bear in mind that you may need to make that journey a few times a year. I would say it isn't common but you do live in the middle of nowhere as you stated.

>>100189565
Yeah I know that. I'm just wondering if I'm actually put on a list or just trashed.

>>100189540
I've only ever had one company get in touch with me after a rejection, and that was years later for Dyson vacuum service technician

>>100189617
He'll atleast be able to expense it once he's an employer

Fullstack is such a dead end role. Once you master everything in 3 months, it's just sharting out business logic, which is almost never complicated, in the backend or sharting out event handlers to call business logic from the frontend

>>100189607
>>100189627
>>100189558
Alright, time for me to move on then. Maybe it's a good thing, since I heard working for Oracle is kinda shit but idk.

>>100189667
you aren't a "master" of anything in 3 months. Anything less than 5 years of experience tells me you're a midwit who thinks he knows a lot but knows jackshit. Back to courses with you.

The DevOps team here is genuinely the dumbest fucking group I have ever had to deal with
>pipelines they design don't work correctly
>insanely slow to publish any updates to it (last change was 4 months ago), have to manually make changes ourselves to get the scripts to work
>Have been waiting for a particular fix for months and have pushed back the deadline for months (was supposed to be in for February, now fix is TBD)
>API publishing doesn't work correctly, their explanation for it made no sense and got incredibly defensive when we pointed out why they were wrong
>Support is mainly one US-based guy that doesn't even work for the team, just is also incredibly frustrated by them and forced himself to understand the scripts because of it
>Support session is barely within US working hours because the team is almost entirely India based
They've ruined the one thing I've been looking forward to in this stupid company because we have to use their tools to deploy to the new platform or we're noncompliant

>>100188903
Nice try, glownigger

>>100189478
The struggle is real anon. I also think it's thanks to the governments encouraging banks to give 80 and 100% mortgages. That makes every financially illiterate person eager to buy properties with overinflated prices and makes them get even more expensive. I'm sure that if mortgages covered much less that would force house owners to decrease the prices.
It's pure logic: why offer a house at a decent price when you can jewmaxxxx and see people throw money at you anyway because the bank is lending them that much?

>>100189687
>India based
fuck your retarded company and fuck you, enjoy your "devops"

>recruiter schedules first introductory call with client
>"Oh anon the client needs a reference now to proceed further! And it has to be a manager you had!"
WTF is wrong with some people. I'm not bothering my potential references when I don't even have an offer on the table yet. And I'm not going to provide a manager reference lol, be happy I would ask an ex-colleague to act as a reference.

>>100189686
Yeah bro it takes years to learn how to shart out a generic express server with grpc handlers and your crudware business logic
Gtfo of here you're midwit "senior" coping because he is a code monkey

>>100189617
I wouldn't mind relocating if it turns out they want to hire me after the f2f.

>>100189711
The role never existed anon
This is a classic recruiter technique to fish for manager contacts to add to their rollerdex

>>100189687
Saar, I...

>>100189736
It probably exists because I have an interview already scheduled with the client, but I'm not going to provide references if there isn't an offer first.
I told them that, if they don't like it, tough luck.

>>100189687
Blame retarded companies for thinking you can give some ITard a codebase with zero context on why certain scripts, processes, versions, etc are used in the development and expect them to set up pipelines, networking, deployment
"Devops" was a mistake it needs to be dedicated dev

Coming up on 3YOE (as a developer) and trying to break into the "afford a house" salary bracket.

At this point I'm tired of this game and tomorrow I will tell them I'm dropping from the process, so they don't fry me with calls today.

Got laid off due to lack of funds along with some higher ups but he wrote me a good reference so I could perfectly use him. It's just that I don't want them to farm his details and importunate him for a shitty opportunity I don't even know its going to materialize into an offer.
