Good morning
I have an interview tomorrow at the company my gf works, she said the boss will ask basic questions about loonix and C ( they make embedded shit). Any idea what I should focus on? Not sure if simple means ls or pthread.
>>101177979Realistically you should know both.
>>101177979It's too late to learn anything new by now. Get some good sleep and good luck tomorrow.
>>101177979>they make embedded shitpic rel is your fate
>just finished a call where not one but TWO people didn't know how to reboot a Windows machineHow the fuck has humanity made it this far
>>101178196The pay is around 70k which is a lot more than the 0 im earning atm>>101178177its at 5pm tomorrow, I can still memorize some shit>>101178069I only know the linux I have had to use for my selfhosted servers, never touched pthread or knew about it till today
>>101177973Hey Eli, I've put on my Maid outfit. Now what?
>27.5yo>215k net worth>working a comfy remote job, making >85k>really like being unemployedAnyone have any advice for a man in this position? I could keep throwing money on the pile for the sake of compound interest. But I'm keen on being unemployed and working on projects I find fun and meaningful. Any suggestions?
Im in my 2nd week as a business analyst. man this role really is just asking people what they want and telling devs to do the needful.
>>101177979I wanna get into embedded stuff too. Is it a junior position? What sort of things do they ask for on the job posting? Assuming you had to go through that and you didn't just get the hook up from the gfI just want to get an idea of the sort of profile they're looking for in that field.
>>101178505nice old photo you have there
>>101170758can u elaborate on the shitty engineering decisions
>>101178437You don't have nearly enough money in the war chest to do that. That's all.
>>101178261just remember that the .bss section is initialized by the c runtime library, you can wow them with that little factoid
>>101178578So you think it'd be unwise to take 1 year off, it'd only cost me 26k
>>101178610I've noticed basic regex knowledge usually blows people away for some reason. It's almost better for interviews than it is for actual string matching. Understanding C memory management is another good one.
>>101178669>it'd only cost me 26kI thought you made 85k
>>101178721how basic are we talking>$start_digit\d_end\bThat's about all I know and I probably fucked up by not escaping the underscores or something. Plus it always seems different on python vs perl vs grep
>>101178765I got through a phone screening once after explaining Kleene's theorem.
>>101178437Don't stop until you have $2.5m
>>101178749very well>>101178843very wellI will find solace in tasks outside work to give me energy to continue. I reckon this is why normies drink wine, play videogames, socialize, and buy a bunch of shit on Amazon
>>101178765( ) are literals and \( \) are capture groups in Basic POSIX regex and Python regex\( \) are literals and ( ) are capture groups in Extended POSIX regex and Perl regex:characterclasses: don't work in Python regexThat's like 99% of the differences that will come upgrep defaults to Basic POSIX regex but there are flags to use Extended POSIX regex or Perl regex instead
>>101177947I'm doing some contract work, pay is great but their product team is retarded. Does anyone know how to intercept a POST request in react without a known payload? Axios will post an empty payload by default. I just want to listen if any are made to a specific url.
Is there a way to use MS Teams remotely? My company has blocked MS Teams access outside of the fucking company laptop, so I wanna leave the Chonky Chinkpad at home and be able to take work meetings and calls with my phone or a smaller laptop.Something like VNC or Steam Remote Play but with audio and maybe webcam capabilities.
>help me circumvent my company's security policyThe punchline is you getting in trouble. Maybe don't.
>>101179222Faggot. Policies exist for sheep, not wolves.
>>101179239Bribe the cybersec or admin then
>>101178437spend it what's the point of money if you don't use it?buy fancy stuff, fuck some hookers do some cokeit's not your money anywaylegally all your money belongs to the bankif you just work to increase the pile only thing you are accomplishing is making a Jew richer
>>101179239https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SV1CdLMNX4
>>101179299>JewI wanted to consider your suggest, but that's not happening now
Would you rather work on a team of Indians or a team of Chinese?
>>101179410ChineseBetter food, smells, and women
>>101179344oh no
I had a nightmare last night where I had pron on my work computer and I didn't know how to explain it to IT. I was relieved to find out it was all a dream in the morning.
>>101179598Anon you can type porn on 4chan you idiot
>having a interview tomorrow for an intershipit's a program that allows people in college to work and get some experience in the summer>requirements are: C#, Javascript and React>only know python (pretty extensively)>only used jupyter>need to get some quick introduction to the languagesWhat are some quick ways to get general idea of the languages?I installed VS Code and some extensions. Seems a bit confusing compared to jupyter but haven't playing around with it much.Just some tips, guides and/or general guidance would be appreciated.*sorry if i'm repeating myself*
>>101179750squirm
>>101179710nigga you're straight up BANNED wtf did you just say>>101179756why is everyone telling me that
>>101179710It was a typo I'm sorry. Though I think pron sounds funny so I don't see a problem with it.
>>101179779Be honest, it wasn’t a typo.
>>101177947Been working as a SoftEngi contractor since March. Trying to switch jobs cuz the pay is comically low. Any advice? I graduated in December.
>>101179084honesty is the best policy. just mark yourself as out-of-office and say you're currently wfh (work from holiday)
QA Automation Engineer, ask me anything>>101179598Exactly because of this I decided to finally separate my workstation and my desktop computer
>>101180162I usually get pretty far in QA interviews but whiff it when they ask me why I'm interested in that position. Real answer: because I never hear back from development/engineering roles. What can I say that doesn't sound like I'm just making something up?
>>101180236Say something along the lines that you really enjoy developing automation and automated tests and that finding problems is something you do enjoy. (Better if true and backed up by your personal projects)
>>101178385Post the maid outfit
>>101180263Thanks anon, next time I'm called upon I'll remember this (T-T)b
>>101180288Any time anon, hope you get that QA position!
>week 5 of looking for a new jobWhy is it so difficult as a software engineer bros
sigh.
How do you cope with being a nocooderLiterally all I do all day is use frameworks, APIs and tools others have madeI know nothing about how a computer actually works, I just google shit and put shit together
>>101180407Do an old Advent of Code in assembly.
>>101178516NTA, but they will interview just about anyone, nobody wants to work for min wage in tech.
Is SAP really as bad as people say?
>>101180309
>>101180269Here is 5% of my maid outfits. I do whatever Dr. Eli tells me to do. I even ported MaidCard into Python. His Science Foundation changed everything. I am 50% better at programming now, and have counted to really high prime numbers.
>>101180591Yes. Have you never worked with enterprise software before? You can hardly call that programming, it's more like computer bureaucracy.
>>101180869You will never be a woman, and you will never stop relying on antipsychotics.
>>101180309>software "engineer"no such thing, currynigger code monkey. you don't even know what thermodynamics is about.
>>101177947Should I just unironically NEET at this point?recently graduated college with 4 years of IT internship experience and I am turned completely off with trying to compete in this rat race.>MSP>Webcam interview, asked me a grown ass man with a beard what I want to be when I grow up>Also was snickering and laughing off screen>he also fucking recorded it for "training">Bank>Four interviews>Good salary>say I'm a perfect candidate for the role because I did two technical interviews really well>Ghosted me after 3 weeks>government>denied an hour later after submitting application>local company>got a stern talking to over email about how internships aren't considered real experience and that I would need to start at $15/hr>in response email only link him the local buccee's starting at $18/hr, got a heated response about how im disrespectful and that I won't find job in this townat this point I'm thinking of just doing pot and working on my own network than dealing with these retards. like I feel spoiled coming from being paid $30/hr as an intern to work on every faucet of IT infrastructure, and I come into a market where employers think $15/hr for advanced experience is a good wage.
>>101181137>4 years of internships but none of them liked you enough to hire you on after graduationReddest of flags. It's over for you.
>>101181232everyone was laid off at the end of my internship because new CFO :))))
>>101181237In your next life be luckier.>>101181137Assuming you are a fellow burger,>>denied an hour later after submitting applicationthe only way you get rejected that quickly on USAJOBs is by not following directions.
>>101181289>the only way you get rejected that quickly on USAJOBs is by not following directions.The government position was locali applied directly on the agency's site, directions were submit application as PDF and generic "Are you a convict y/n, are you a US citizen y/n, etc" questions.I can only guess it was an internal nepotism position and I had no chance to begin with.

I can't land an entry level job Help Desk job.Everything feels hopeless.Even the basic minimum wage jobs want 5+ years of experience in all manners of software I have never used.What should I be doing at this point?

I'll be able to miss the traffic rush!>two of them start bitching and moaning about how they won't be able to do that>he sort of pauses and says that they have another woman with a one-year-old who makes the hours anyway>the other woman is barely coherent, just bragging about herself>by the end of the interview, he says he'll get back to the winner by 5>half past noon, I get a call back about how much the guy liked me and that I'm scheduled for the real interview tomorrow>I know for a fact that all of them are seething like retards right nowHoly fucking shit dude. I felt bad for them for like two seconds, but after they complained about the hours, I just don't care. Fuck you and your kids, I'm taking this job. I need this job. Fuck right off, ladies! Any advice for the second interview?
i will be studying compsci. i am a (biological) woman, will i get a tech job easier bc of this? i want to make as much money as possible so i can emasculate men and have a house with a pool
>>101182454>Any advice for the second interview?Just bee yourselfexcept 4 the parts of you that say>I just don't care. Fuck you and your kids, I'm taking this job. I need this job. Fuck right off, ladies!that part stays inside
>>101182462nah, you will get filtered by linalg

i hate meetings and i hate adult daycare and i hate summer and i hate the sun
>>101182462>will i get a tech job easier bc of this?Christ yes
>>101182462Pretending this isn't bait for a sec- yes. I know several women with compsci degrees whose computer skills are tech-illiterate boomer-level. Two of which even argued that personal projects are a waste of time. All of them got 100k+ jobs in competitive downtown areas. All the dudes I know are stuck commuting to low paying jobs in the sticks.
>>101182462Show cute smooth armpits
>>101182733The alternative is to be a pseudo intellectual artsy fartsy tranvestite. Do you want to be a pseudo intellectual artsy fartsy tranvestite?
>>101178437That's a small amount of money. Personally, I wouldn't quit in such a bad job market. Some people prefer the YOLO lifestyle and live paycheck-to-paycheck though.
>>101182522That part stays locked way up in the 4chan part of my brain. I didn't even crack a smile, I was such a good boy. In that interview tomorrow, I'm a perfectly nice and accepting person who has absolutely no idea what the word "based" means.
>>101182796it's roughly 7 years of expenses for me, so I'd say it's a substantial sum. But with missed compound interest, I guess I'm better off being some evening freedom only wagey
i'm doing drone stuff for my internship and i get along well with my boss and the people i work with. i think it's probably likely i'd get an offer when i'm done. concretely, the work is writing software for automating industrial inspections with drones. computer vision and navigation.i think it is neat but i don't have any point of comparison. i didn't expect to be doing this. but i'm somewhat concerned about how the skills transfer. like, is this a difficult position to get into? is it worth racking up a couple of years experience while i have the opportunity?but i'd also like to be somewhere nicer than in my hometown, working at an industrial site. but, it's also cool to get hands on time with expensive drones and go out in the field to dick around with them. is this even worth stressing about? a job is a job?
>>101177947>linkedin retired resume builderwhat the fuck am I going to use now to quickly make resumes?Any recommendations of sites that do that?
>>101182921that's basically blue collar workyou will never be a FAGMAN making 300k starting working from home if you pursue embed the profit margins just aren't there
>>101182949Oddly enough there are remote embedded positions.
>>101182921drones are a good area to work in.
I love the theory and the more computer/programming oriented curriculum of computer science but holy fuck I wish I had just stayed in computer engineering. Maybe I would've gotten an internship this summer
I've been dealing with a lot of stress at work and my coping mechanism is to jerk off so much at home and to workout so fucking much so I feel numb. It's sorta working but with me being eternally fucking tired all the time I'm finding that I barely have a filter anymore. I'm not even sure if this is a healthy way to cope. It's definitely making me care less about work which is my big issue.
>>101183116There's always classic coping mechanisms like writing angry letters you won't send.
do i really need a linkedin?like is it actually useful? i don't like having an online presence but is the game worth playing
>>101183521If you have a job and you're looking for another job, it's useful for poachers to find you.If you don't have a job linkedin is a waste of your time (plus you don't belong in /twg/).
>>101183116stop working out, it's a literal meme for braindead retards. you don't need muscles if you have a gun.also if you aren't feeling euphoric after jerking off you're doing it wrong. try replacing your workouts with an extra 2 hour gooning sessions to something more extreme.
>>101183548>If you don't have a job linkedin is a waste of your time (plus you don't belong in /twg/)This might be true. I and everyone else in our circle that I graduated with got our first jobs via LinkedIn.
>>101183521i never used it and i have a million dollars.

>>101184111I hope the white guy turned around and said>Stand up for yourself, you crippled black bitchAnd then Abraham Lincoln bursts out of the closet behind them, he's completely naked, wearing only his hat and his dick is already semi-hard.>I freed the slaves to get laid and all I did was play myselfThe 16th President of The United States of America high fives the white guy and flips the black crippled hoe's wheelchair, tumbling her black ass onto the carpet.>Four score and seven years ago, I fucked a Puerto Rican whore, it was a bore and sure felt like a chore.Then everyone clapped and got the clap because crippled black hoes are riddled with chlamydia, broken dreams and busted nuts.
Close to getting mah CCNA. There's a help desk-like position for a nearby cities government and they listed CompTIA in their position. Should be ez pz since I already have fingerprint clearance?

I'm amazed he has 20 yoe and he is this fucking stupid
I had an interview yesterday and it was going pretty well, the position is interesting and it would mean nice salary increase.When I was almost done the guy asked me if I would consider a counter offer from my current company. This is the first time I've been asked this in an interview, so I didn't even think and I said yes, and it was obvious he didn't like to hear that, but wtf, isn't this supposed to be normal? I also think that making it clear that you want to leaver your current company would only get you a lowball offer.

>>101187127Also I doubt I'm getting an offer equal or better than this anytime soon.Should I just send them an email this weekend feeding them some bullshit abut researching the company and how I really want to go for the offer without even getting into the whole counter offer shit at my current place?I'm kinda burned of my job to be honest.

>>101187985My manager just sends "call" when he wants to chat. No greeting, doesn't ask if I'm busy or away, just straight up demands a call. Decent guy though.
>>101187875No don't bring it up again. This shit is like talking to girls if you act like a bitch they'll ghost you. Just wait for them to make an offer. Also the hiring manager isn't a faggot and knows it's all about the money.It might even work in your favor as they'll know they need the offer to be higher than a potential counter offer.

How do you get a job doing actual programming and not just glorified systems administration as "devops."I'm not good at this and do well programming in interviews but every company seems to switch things around at the last minute and move me onto devops teams even though I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.

>>101188322If you do it wrong it does.>>101188164How is it silent? Doing anything mouse heavy for me for more than a day gives me pretty intense pain. I'd imagine that's pretty noticeable for normal people.
>>101188335go get physical therapy my man
>>101188016Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I figured that anything that may me sound desperate will work against me.The guy I talked to also slipped that they already interviewed some people and none of them passed the technical test and I'm pretty confident I can pass it.
>>101188341Why? I just don't use the mouse for most things because it's slow anyway. Servoing the cursor around graphical controls is a retarded way to do input.
>>101188162/tv/ is one of the most reddit ones, after /v/ and /a/literally media consooming boards
>>101188361what do you mean why? if you experience severe pain from a relatively simple motion, you must have tendinitis or something similar... and physical therapy eases the pain with exercises that make the muscles less swollen.what kind of question is that?
Should I contribute to my 401k or invest after tax only?The only fund in my 401k plan without (((high fees))) is the Russell 3000. My after tax account is all SP500.The contribution limit is already so low I'm thinking I should as a form of normie insurance.
>>101188035Dude this ruined my week. Been working as a contractor for 55k which is about 50% less than what I'd make from a local w2. I fucking hate this job market.
>>101187528Use FMLA "as needed". It's unpaid but hey who cares
>>101188263You only need one mouseWhen you're doing a lot of scrolling lift your arm straight up so the mouse laser is pointing at a wallYou can spin the scroll wheel without as much strain through your hand
>>101188273my coworkers are going to backstab me>>101188555I'm afraid of calling medical leave then getting immediately PIP'ed when I come back
>>101188380Using the mouse all day for work is pretty complex and pretty intense. Plus corporate software UIs tend to be mediocre and stress inducing.
>>101188655>my coworkers are going to backstab meMight as well get it out of the way. If you're going to fail either way at least fail after exhausting the alternative options.
When do I get the six figure IT job my school promised me?

>>101188304>he can't do system adminIt's just scripts and resetting passwords anon
>>101188783Not anymore. It's all groovy and ansible and crazy DSLs with no debugging and mountains of uninspectible state.

>>101188672okay, and how does that make your pain any less... painful?are you gonna ignore the signals your body is sending you? just so you know, those things aren't reverted just by letting your muscles rest, they need active recovery if you have any hope of them ever going back to their former selves
>>101189178>are you gonna ignore the signals your body is sending you?No I don't use the mouse or when I do I use a trackball which doesn't cause this.
>Prepare whole week for interview>Interviewer obviously doesn't like me>Cuts it short after 7 minutes saying the classic "we will call you"How do I cope?

>Can't find entry level IT/computer work>Have basic foundation/certification>No real skills/training outside of what they teach you for A+ and the random bits I've picked up over years of using computers for hobbies>Last jobs I had in the field were warehouse tester/light repair positions a year ago, basically monkey workWhere the hell do I go from here?Do I just keep studying for more certifications and try to specialize in something? I'm not sure what direction to go in and I'm worried that if I don't have any experience then all that studying would be wasted and it would be twice as hard to recover anything I've forgotten.
>>101189440You keep applying to hell desk jobs cause that's all the A+ will get you
>>101189435Since I'm Latino, I'll be able to sniff you out instantly but try if you want. Most people are too stupid to know the difference between Italian and Spanish or even just doing a simple Google search.
>>101189489I have olive skin and my last name ends in a vowelThe dumb boomers and women interviewing me can't tell the difference lmao
>>101188707any advice for this? im being onboarded to the recruiting company over the company ill be working for, i guess its normal as ill be asked to track time worked?
Dumb question but have anyone any experiences with ITProTV Courses? I saw the new humblebundle and was wondering if it's any good or just garbage.

I really should be getting paid extra for making my PC work this hard for on a work task. Cheap bastards didn't send me a computer.

>>101189696It's not the same as paying 14k for bootcamps lol, it's like 20-30 bucks. I know I can "high seas" courses and books but still, just askin'.
>>101189925Anon just use YouTube
I posted briefly about this yesterday or two days ago but I got a nepo connection at a good company through the CMO who worked with my dad who was CFO at the company I also worked at for 5 years. I actually did some work for her and she has voucher for me as a good employee to the department head she connected me to. Monday I am doing a Teams call with her (the boss) that is labeled a “Meet & Greet” How should I prepare for this? We haven’t talked about specific roles yet. Should I come with a list of things they’re hiring for that I would be interested in applying for? Or should I approach this as being willing to take on any role she thinks might be a good fit for me based on my resume?This seems like an unusual situation so I don’t know how to come at it since she’s not a recruiter or anything
>>101189966Sure, but I don't know where to look. Everything I've come across is either dogshit or just shortform content. Anyone good that has lecture style videos?
i can’t stop gooning…
>>101189968why not shoot of an e-mail to clarify?
>>101190064Same. The only reason I can break off from my porn addiction is because my wfh job is just so unimaginably boring that I always end up fapping during work.
>>101189968Just be yourself.
I'm so tired...I should of just taken that 2nd line role at the MSP.I've been applying for 2nd line roles since 4 months now and I have 2 years helldesk now and a bunch of microsoft certs. I keep getting rejected or ghosted. I had a couple of interviews but that went nowhere.It feels almost impossible
>>101190214Should've been born earlier when all you needed to get an IT job was a pulse and knowledge of what a subnet mask isSucks to suck zoomerino
>>101189968"Meet & Greet" makes it sound informal though - it could mean they're not really interested hiring you. Or it means they've already made the decision to make you an offer but they need to meet you to make sure you're not a sperglord first.
>phone on DND>slack muted>email closedYe I'm thinking it's Friday afternoon.
>>101190641Well he's on 4chan so he's a guaranteed sperglord
>San Diego isn't that bad of a place to live right?>It isn't as bad as San Francisco or LA with their rampant homeless population, yeah?>The living situation isn't going to be in complete squalor?I'm trying to convince myself to apply to a job in that area and I don't know if my heart can actually take it.
>>101181137>>got a stern talking to over email about how internships aren't considered real experience and that I would need to start at $15/hr>>in response email only link him the local buccee's starting at $18/hr, got a heated response about how im disrespectful and that I won't find job in this town
I pretty much told my director in our company meeting that I was skeptical of AI and we are just in a hype bubble for tech companies to earn money (Our company is all in on AI). Did I fuck up bros

So what's the leeway like on GPA's? Is a 4.0 at a bad school the same as a 3.0 from a good school or what?
>>101190874GPA is a meme and doesn't matter
>>101190943say that again?
Is it okay to bring a notebook and pencil into an interview?
>platform engineering Who has switched to this from DevOps? Is it just a meme?I have an interview for a position with a DoD contractor, as a fresh grad with a math degree. No idea what they would even ask or how to prepare, although I've been told its more of a formality and not to worry, I am worried since its a panel interview with five managers and engineers. Maybe they just want to beat down and roast me?
>team leader assigns me a task>report to him every couple of days>"you're in charge anon, you don't really need to report everything to me">keep working, a couple of weeks later inform the rest of the team about the progress>"noooo you can't decide that without consulting me!">it was something he was literally clueless about it>assigns me another task where I have to work with another department>"why are you taking so long?">"you should told John that Jane said X">"why haven't you done x?">"why is this taking so long?">usually argues against my judging>whenever we have to do some bullshit that's just tedious he assigns it to me because "i'm in charge of that division"Honestly I don't give a fuck anymore, I do the bare minimum and I just agree with whatever retarded idea he comes with and then sandbag the whole thing and set the estimate at least 10x the time it would take me and then I implement the hackiest, laziest and fastest solution
>>101190874As far as your school, I don't think you're getting autorejected unless you went to a school that isn't accredited. After that point, it's possible the ATS your resume is being fed to will use your school as a proxy for your economic class. If X person went to a school in a high cost of living area, they're probably loaded, but Y person who went to their flyover state university is middle class at best.
>>101190992I tried this once and was accused of recording the questions to pass off to other applicants. Probably just a schizo interviewer though.
>>101190648Based.
>>101191010that's easy bro you have a math degree you are probably smart just learn kubernetes, aws+azure+gcp for multi cloud architectures, terraform, github actions, docker, prometheus and grafana overnight
>>101190943Wrong, it matters exactly once. Your first job.
>>101190874>if they care about GPA and not your first job then it's a bad place>if you have a 4.0 from a good or bad school then you're incredible>if you have a 3.0 from a high ranking school you might as well go die in a ditch because you're not even fit to live
>>101191022I'm going to graduate from one of the best public schools in the country. My concern is that my GPA will be shit. The screenshot I posted is my GPA if I don't get all my old failed semesters dropped and some F's changed. If I can then I'll be sitting at around a 2.48 at most for a sophomore, more likely a 1.92. I still have 2 or 3 years to raise it but it's not looking good at the moment
>>101191111Don’t list your gpa. Problem solved
>>101191101So get good internships or something during university? I have no idea how to do that. I guess I'll just go through my university career services when I get the chance. My buddy who graduated got some internship through the university. nobody ever told me how any of this works
>>101191111Just lie about it. Few will catch you.
>>101191170Since you're in software then experience will help you a hell of a lot more. You might also be able to weasel your way into a job from one of those internships if you can get them to like you.>nobody ever told me how any of this worksand that's part of the game, it's to filter people out
>>101191082I've never heard of any of those words. The job asks for a security clearance and experience with the particular military hardware they design and build, so maybe they're just hiring me off experience as I'm former military and have a security clearance. Hopefully they'll train me or just tell me to read a few books on it. I'll look up the things you mentioned, but they're not in the job posting, and they're the ones that requested the interview with me after I gave them my resume for literally any position they had available in the company.The only software experience I have is with C++ in three courses (prog1, prog2, algos/datstructures), and MATLAB for physics and other math courses where it was useful. Wish me luck!
>>101191197>it's to filter people outthat's cool. It's just wasted my time bc every field in university is like. I just turned 24 and still have no bachelor's. oh well. at least I have no degree instead of a communications degree or something
>>101191251*is like that
Should i put my github on my resume?https://github.com/Gigas002
>>101191251if you had a communications degree you probably would have fucked some hot bitches in undergrad and then probably finger gunned your way to a position you're severely under qualified for and over burden your lower management and their teams for your incompetencies - basically the dream
>>101191308how does communications let you fuck hot bitches during undergrad? does it get you fit or something?and the communications degree anecdote is specifically drawn from this girl I went to grade school with who I saw again recently and said she got a communications degree bc she didn't know what to do and just did what the counselor said and now she was gonna go back to school to become a cosmetologist lol. But she's kinda retarded so
>>101191280lol
>>101190667i've seen more homeless in LA than Silicon Valley empirical evidence only, of course
>>101191380Communication majors usually go into business positions so they tend to mingle with business majors to get them their jobs in marketing and other non-technical roles. Hot bitches usually are in communications since it's prime MRS degree territory and is one of the other default majors women go into besides biology or psychology.
>>101191401>>101191280do it. i overheard an analytics staff dev, 50+ years old and wrinkling, yapping on Teams about how he's gonna visit Akihabara to buy the "special cartoons". you never know.
>>101191085I guarantee my 3.8 didn't matter
>>101191403That tracks. If it was in LA I would have hard ignored it.I already threw my application into the goblet of HR roasties. I fully over qualify but I'm sure they really want someone fresh out of Stanford with a master's in cock sucking. Maybe I'll get a free fight out of it. I rather just get moved to Chicago.
>>101191484Maybe it mattered in the sense that NOT having a 2.0 or less mattered>>101191441I really do like the idea of loads of sex with women while an undergrad but I do wonder if I should pick a wife from university. During my last uni stint I got pretty involved with this one girl who was really sweet and only had sex with one dude prior (she took my virginity at 22, no I did not tell her). I couldn't commit to her because I still wanted to fuck other women basically (never got laid young) and broke her heart. But whenever I look at dating over 25 it seems depressing, both in how you are supposed to meet women (nobody knows) and the quality of women as well. oh well
>"senior" dev reaches out needing help>the code is clearly incorrect in that it won't even compile, he eventually reveals that it's just aislop he generated and he pinged me immediately when it didn't compile. it invented a method in on some class in a 3rd party library that didn't exist in any version.>tell him that he needs to actually use his brain before reaching out for help and end the call>later get a talking to about being more patient and that not everyone is as smart as meI'm getting fucking gaslit. There is no way putting up with this kind of retardation is common. I told my manager that the retard is being extremely disrespectful by just shitting out something that takes 0 effort on his part to create and offload the actual thinking to someone else and a lot of effort on my part to try to help with and he agrees but still said I handled it poorly. I am going to buy a cabin in montana
>>101191560>20-25, they seem to be relatively okay and easy to talk to>25-28, case-by-case>29+, I'm worried they're trying to settle or want a kid ASAPFrom my own observations over the years. Yes, you will need to be okay with the brainrot.
>>101187528I told them this week was tough and I wasn't able to do as much as I would have hoped but that I would try to make up for it next weekhelps that I scheduled my shit as a spike task so they're probably not on my ass as much as they would be for an actual estimated task
