okay anons, I'll be blunt as fuck.Flat-out lied on my resume. Econ degree, data analyst gig at some regional firm. Only good thing was tons of free time so I grinded leetcode non-stop cuz I had nothing better to do.made a fake resume, somehow snagged six-figure mid-level SWE job. 20 days pto, free food, 4 weeks work from anywhere.Start date 4 weeks away. Can I just use Claude or Copilot to carry me? I have never done any shipping of actual code ever. never used terminal once. never touched real IDE. Never done code reviews. i just grinded python and leetcode 24/7.please respond I'm scared as fuck. Am I cooked or does this actually work? Anything I should learn before even starting or should I just give up and not show up? Anyone pull this off?Should i aim for product management instead?
remain confident and hedge your bets by applying elsewhere. do not think of yourself as in trouble, you are just a LARPing spy seeing how far you can make it to infiltrate their systems. people perform better when they think like this. just try to fit in, figure things out but be ready to jump ship when it's time. rinse and repeat and eventually you're legit
>>62130783good job anonstop panicking moron, worst case scenario is you DON'T get $100,000 woOOoOoo spooky>please respond I'm scared as fuck. Am I cooked or does this actually work? Anything I should learn before even starting or should I just give up and not show up? Anyone pull this off?nigger go to bedstop ruminatingthe less you overthink, the better chances you have, trust me
>>62130783>Can I just use Claude or Copilot to carry me?don't do this>I have never done any shipping of actual code ever. never used terminal once. never touched real IDE. Never done code reviews. i just grinded python and leetcode 24/7.just wing itif you've done leetcode & had exposure to that shit you can do the rest, they're not gonna be doing anything high pressurestay in the present moment & pay attention to what they're doing, don't get up in your own head about this
Invest in some online tutor to give you a crash course in some shit maybe
>>62130812bump chill out dude, you'll be fine literally just use chatgpt until you figure it out
>>62130783Fuck tell me how you did this, I actually have projects and a degree and an aws cert, what did you add
>>62130783Mythos might even be out in 4 weeks. Even if it's not AI can carry you for awhile. Especially if it's a larger company, it takes awhile before they can really say you're incompetent and fire you. what could kill you is getting into a face to face debate over something technical. so even if someone is clearly wrong just keep your mouth shut.
>>62130783We dont help indians on this board, saar.
>>62130783your best bet is to ask your colleagues for help. but only do it sparingly and write down what they tell you and internalize it. for a data analyst role, you have to learn sql, possibly git
>>62130783Bro I've been in IT and project delivery for 15 years and landed a startup job and I feel like im fucked but i think everyone at this stage is just larping anyway people just talk and talk "clean code, beautiful code, were agile" its boring its like people think coding is some art form and hold themselves so highly but really they are just wagies like everyone else and nobody cares as long as functionally its right the customer dont actually care what the code looks likeAnd retros are just group therapy with one guy swinging his dick like hes God but is really just a narcissist and scared to fail.
>>62130783Based bro Indiamaxxing
>>62130783>data analysis Literally just use shitty AIs and mass horde as much of your income as possible and prepare to be caught.
>>62130783Congratulations, 4 weeks is more than enough time to fake it better
>>62130783Good news are you if you got in, the inertia will keep you for half year at least. If you keep proactively learning, people will notice you're fake but let it slide because you're providing value.I had serious struggle rooting parasites like you, 5000-head company.
>>62130795this. Op could have a 30 year career with nothing but confidence. Many such cases. That's why things are fucked, the boomers in charge never knew what the fuck they were doing either. >your reckoning might never come you retarded piece of shit
>>62130783I had a dream like this where I landed some big job that I wasn't qualified for, then when I show up to work they take me in front of a fucking nuclear reactor and tell me to fix it and when I can't they have security escort me out while everyone watches. So good luck and I hope you do better!
>>62130783>mid-level SWE job>>62130783>never used terminal once. never touched real IDE. Never done code reviews.ITfag here (cybersecurity). It you were in cybersecurity you could get away with this and learn git and how to use github and VS Studio Code and shit and just lean on your other expertise while you use ChatGPT to learn the CI/CD pipeline and tools.But as a MID LEVEL SOFTWARE ENGINEER you are completely fucked and there is no way you are gonna pull this off but put me in the screencap when you come back and tell us how you embarrassed yourself and your chink/gook/jeet coworkers reported you to Chad Kinsington your team lead and he had HR Stacy fire you.
>>62130783Troon out immediatly. Update your goybook and instacuck status and upload photos of you trooning out and dancing in gay bars. They can't fire you unless they do it because of transphobic reasons. They'll offer you severance for 2 years.
>>62130783Don’t get emotional about your work
>>62130783>Flat-out lied on my resume>made a fake resume, somehow snagged six-figure mid-level SWE jobCongrats on becoming the typical H1B jeet. Now you just keep jeeting the company hy faking confidence and googling all the answers.>Am I cooked or does this actually work?Look around your office and see how many jeets you have. None of them do real work. Everyone of them learned just enough to scrape by. You're one of them now, the jeet class.No shame in that when this is a market where you need to jeet or get jeeted.
>>62130783based if you're white but either way who cares? what are they gonna do, fire you?that takes a while.Then you apply to the next job and use a burner cell to give yourself a good reference
>>62130783The entire industry is just a bunch of lies, nothing's based on merit. Just kill yourself, bitch.
>>62130924Are you really this helpless? You deserve to be unemployed.>how to?>find defunct company in [industry]>put defuct company on your resume as [title of interest] with xyz years of experience>"yes I was the techlead for the backend development at Toys R Us, Radioshack, and Blockbuster before they went out of business"Use your brain anon. No one can verify your experience if the big name company no longer exists. Look for recent bankruptcies in your industry.>>62131696>Op could have a 30 year career with nothing but confidence/threadAll jobs are fake anyways.
>>62130783Sounds fake because they didnt check your degree.
>>62130783>Flat-out lied on my resumegood. thats what EVERYONE does. its part of the game. rest is up to you. fake it until you make it.
>>62131802>describes my resumedamn AI is getting good these days
>>62130783Most jobs are actually pretty easy
>>62130783Just wing it, ask your juniors how you do things in this company. Just be curious, keep learning and keep grinding. First 3 months will be the hardest. You can practice for free contributing to open-source software.
>>62130783Keep faking it until you make it. But don't just sit there, use this opportunity to learn. At worst they'll see right through you and let you go before probation but you make some good money anyways and learn a few things and get humbled. But you'll see how the business is organized how they operation, what tools they use, etc. this is valuable knowledge on its own, even if its just for personal use. At best you find out the job is easier than it seems and that you can quickly get the ropes and start learning on the job, BUT put the effort to learn. You will get humbled, and you'll probably fuck up, but if you make it past probation, then its the companies fault for hiring you in the first place. Just don't do anything stupid and take responsibility for anything critical. This is an Opportunity. Seize it.
being a nice person with a positive attitude is arguably more important than technical competence. technical problems generally are solved and you can find the solution either thinking about it or with AI. not being a jerk is much harder.
>>62132148This post encapsulates every thing I wanted to say. Social skills are the best thing anyone can have in life. I work as a programmer and I’ve completely checked out of my job, I mostly use Gemini to do data science, I give it the first 10 lines of each file and tell it to write the code exactly as I need it. The less prompting you do, the better the code quality. If you take too many prompts AI will start forgetting things and will leave out critical functions.
>>62130783just stack cash, appear productive and do the bare minimum to get bysimple as
ITT: niggas think software developers have fake email girl jobs like everyone else.
>>62130783This is literally exactly what I’m trying to do. Econ degree and about 2 years of work experience. Just want to scam my way into as high a position as possible. Lie on my resume, on everything. Any advice besides grind leetcode and python? Also, any other decent paying jobs adjacent to swe but not precisely swe? Did your fake resume have fake websites/references attached? Or do you just hope they don’t look things up. Salutations, nigga
>>62130919Best adivce ITT. It's don't see how he could pull this off without something like this. Personalized tutoring from someone who have done this job in the past. He better have the money to pay.
>>62130783... Isn't this what background checks are for?
>>62130783First off stop freaking out. The worst they can do is let you go and put you back to where you are now.Depending on the size of the company it may take a long time for them to notice you dont know what you are doing. Maybe even indefinitely.If i were you i would start trying to learn the shit NOW, like right now. Just to get enough of an understanding to carry on conversations about work related topics. If you actually learn the shit, even better, but you need to be able to talk like you know it at a minimum. If you miss some super common acronym or abbreviation it will throw up a red flagOutsourcing to Claude and ChatGPT is a great idea, definitely do that if you dont know what you are doing. However, you should supplement that with outsourcing to coworkers when possible. Be friendly with your coworkers and ask them to look over your work, or even write code for you if you think you can pull it off.Lastly, try to move up the ladder as soon as possible. It sounds counter intuitive but the higher up you go in an organization, the more abstract your job duties become and the more you gain the ability to delegate tasks to other people if you dont know how to do it yourself.Relax, you got this. People have done a lot more than you are doing now with a lot less resources available to do it with. My current boss’s boss is a completely incompetent moron, he just bullshitted his way there and he did it without the option of using AI. Good luck
>>62130783If this company is so retarded that they didn't ask a single larp-busting question during a six figures job interview, then I legitimately believe you're good to go. Use your first few months to figure as much as you can.
>>62130783At least you'll actually learn and gain hands on experience. Will be helpful for the next time you lie.
>>62135404this you could be set for life, but it requires effort so study right now and DO NOT PANIC!. You got this by the ass fren
I could probably help you. Hit me up on Signal. My username is @hacker.1337
Idk, sounds fake to me. Getting a job as a SWE right now is a tough process with multiple rounds of interviews that could definitely sniff out a larp. No one is that desperate for devs to hire a fake one that easily.
>>62130783What kind of gay LARP is this? No way you would get past the hiring process if you have no idea what you're doing, they make you prove you know how to actually code.
>>62136467you naughty little HR thot get off this website on your phone right now or we'll backtrace you
>>62130783Congrats on the izzat boost ranjesh
