>>100155350What's considered a stupid question that I shouldn't ask other devs?
its over its fukin over
>>100155424imagine being in high school during covid, seeing everything fall apart and think "yeah I'm going to start my freshman year fall 2023"why would anyone want to be a college student at all right now
>>100155424Only a problem for retarded zoomers.
What's the /g/ way of handling: got job offer from company A but waiting for another offer from company B (which is preferable to A)?
>>100155419how do i do a branch and bound solution to this 0/1 knapsack problem
>>100155751You wait for the offer from company B, if company A pressures you for answer you tell them you're waiting for the offer from another company.
>>100155803Also make sure B knows they've got limited time or you'll decline by default
>>100155817Yeah, tell them you can only wait X days because you have another offer on the table and need to answer before the deadline
>>100155419Not asking stupid questions is the worst when you're a newbie. You can't imagine the headache some juniors are when they're clearly incapable of solving something but do their utmost to hide it and prolong the inevitable of talking to someone. I try my best to be as supportive of asking stupid questions but some people just won't take the hint
over status? muh dude weed pain cure? lol you zoomers are doomed to alcholism same as any milineal
>>100155838>ask stupid questions>ff next month>"I'm sorry anon we're restructuring our department and we have to let you go"
>>100155880the fuck are you on about?
>>100155908Makes no sense to take in juniors to train for months and then throw away, unless they've not improved an inch at the end of it, which only really happens with the mute people incapable of cooperation.For record the people who constantly pestered us with a dozen questions an hour are now our best experts
>>100155930I know it doesn't make sense but whenever I hear "just ask questions" my autist senses tingle as fuck and it seems like a trap. I'm always expected to know shit and if I don't it's better to not let know anyone and figure this shit out by myself.
>>100155985If you were hired to do a specialist job you claimed to know but don't then there's obviously a lot to go wrong, but if you're literally a junior then any half-competent senior should be helping you. Any company that shuns it's workers based on trying to improve is worth avoiding, they're a sinking ship.It's just so much faster when people tell me what they don't know immediately, it sucks having people constantly stuck in the mud because something I said relied on some previous knowledge they had no idea about but kept nodding their head.
>>100155924dunno im drunk/high.
>>100156052By the way questions aren't just for juniors. Our expert team constantly asks for recommendations and opinions on their approaches or if anyone's ever faced X before. It's not radio silence in our own silos, it's frequent communication
>>100156126thisin fact no one speaks but senior devs
tried at my job for a second 3 years ago how do i cure the ick
>>100155880all the little devils are proud of hell
>>100155419>Hey can I ask you a question?>You there?Just write your question and I'll reply when I have time damn
>>100156175just quit lol then tell me about the job openning
I love life too.
>>100156550She looks so sweet and innocent!
>>100156550>>100156645What a lovely looking lady! I'd love to court her.
help me bros its all so tiresome. After finishing my masters degree next to working my current company did not make a good offer for me to continue staying there. now i applied to a few other local companies. The first was nice but lowballed me, the second and third are looking for seniors (which clearly i am not if i just finished my masters alongside 5 years of work). so basically my only option atm is either stay where i am or get 1k pay raise (per year) and go to the only other offer i got. how do i go from here? I feel like all my efforst the past 5 years were for nothing if i cant even get a decent pay raise out of it. Where do i go from here? Should i have been more assertive about my qualities? Are my qualitites even sufficient? I dont know anymore...
>>100156645what a waste, could've been somebody's wife
>save cute mouse>shitpost>hide wagie general
Anyone who sucks at exams, but is still successful in their career?
>>100156668>5 years of work>not seniorWere you the tea boy or something? But even then, you'd overhear enough jargon to be at least close to senior.>>100156669>wifeShe role played as one!
>>100155424same shit as forever. I was a freshman in 2018 and heard the same thing, and for basically every major too. Still haven't gotten my degree, probably because of constant demoralization like this
>>100156762>pic
>>100155569>why would anyone want to be a college student at all right nowit's not remote anymore you know. college is the same shit it was before, inwhatever generational flavor of the month (leftists turning on jews lmao)
>>100156835yeah I getcha, I cant tell if all im reading is doom, survivor bias and what not, or its actually that hard to get a decent SE job.
>>100156550>>100156645what's the deal here, is this woman dead or something
>>100156865its AI
>>100156804opposite for me, great at exams, suck at building stuff
>>100156865she whored herself out to spite her parents, kinda based eh?
>be me>young brown SWE in eastern european branch of multinational gigacorp>invited to be a "cultural diversity ambassador">will get a high quality professional photo taken>in exchange they will parade my photo around for DEI points Should I do it? It sounds cheap and I will have to travel to the office but I don't have any good professional photos
>>100156910No do not redeem ser, please do needful and back to India
>>100156910do you want to be an ambassador of cultural diversity? do you think cultural diversity is a good thing? would you like your country to be cultural diverse?
>>100156804yes
>>100156822to be fair those 5 years are only with 15h/week (because my degree was full time so i barely made it work out anyway in regards to time). i feel pretty damn qualified especially compared to my peers and i fee like i have lots of advanced knowledge because i am ambitious about programming but either i cant communicate that to potential employers or im being gatekept by my age either way idk what to do
>>100156985>do you want to be an ambassador of cultural diversity?If I'll get something good out of it>do you think cultural diversity is a good thing? would you like your country to be cultural diverse?doesn't matter, it's cringe politics is allmy (already severely overpopulated) country is already 5-10% refugees arriving in the last 10 years and the state lacks the administrative capacity to secure the borders or do anything about itit's all fucked anyway, the shit rain trickles down the mountain of shit
>>100157153>all I care about is money>doesn't matter>it's already overwow you don't sound brown at all, you sound white but not quite, if you know what I mean.
>>100157183Not that saying it's all about money, if that were the case I'd fuck off to norway or something, but i've built myself a nice life here, way better than what I could be doing at home.Just saying you can't drain the ocean with a bucket. If rape is inevitable you might as well relax and try to enjoy it
does opening up the teams app on your phone make you appear as available and reset the idle timer?just wanna slack off more deviously
wfh daisies how are we blossoming this beautiful morning?
>>100157370I have nothing to do but watch some stupud (work related) videos. I am mostly wasting my time.
>>100157370I just came to a yordle hmv
>>100157334I set myself to appear always offline and said teams for linux didn't support showing online status
>>100157568>teams for linuxI thought it was discontinued? how do I get it? I have to use the browser on linux
>>100157626actually I'm using thishttps://flathub.org/apps/com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linuxIt's unofficial but pretty much just a web wrapper with system tray ability
>4 yoe in software dev>having first "star-interview" ever in a couple of hoursHow do I do well in these?
>>100157798? just prepare your stories nigga
>>100157815Any kind of stories in specific? What kind of questions are usually asked?
>>100157823Have you not heard of the star interview as a standard format before?https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/interviewing/how-to-use-the-star-interview-response-technique
>some cunt writes "Hi :)">writes nothing else>is away when I see the message
>>100157843Not very common in my country. Usually its just >HR screener>Technical interview or homework assignment>discussion about homework assignment if any>negotiations and offer
Hey! I need your advice /twg/ I'm gonna start looking for a job! My main knowledge is C, linux administration, a little c++ and notions in cybersecurity, i also got a google cloud architect cert, i'm thinking either going for something cybersec related or cloud computing and specialize in security there since security is the thing thats most fun to me and also cloud computing seems to be extremely well paid, i'm in university, got soft skills and i'm located in a big city in EuropeAny advice? Not sure if i should aim for more certs or what carrer path should i take, is public cloud cybersec a good field? Any advice / personal experience welcome, thanks
>>100157959I don't even open those messages. It's usually some pajeet that wants me to drop everything and answer their retarded ass question. If they can't be assed to ask their question right then and there then I won't entertain their bullshit.
leaving for for two weeks, not taking my work phone, good luck to them!!
Tips for Alphabet interviews?
>>100158278Be brown, a woman or a tranny.
>project over>need to write a bunch of reports and corpo/government bureaucracy shit>no meetings to be had>no calls>chilling, playing vidya, working on my own side projects>suddenly phone starts ringing, emails out the ass>they didn't even wait till monday, work picks up again tomorrow with a bunch of meetings and reports to be writtenIt's when the good times end that you realize just how much the bad times suck dick.
>>100157959Just reply with the hand wave emoji couple of hours after you get any "hi"s
I hate you all. Most posts and most threads I make asking questions or for advice get met with spiteful vitriol and crabs in a bucket mentality. The majority of you deserve your pathetic position in life because you don't realize it's a product of your personality, not external forces. Fuck you.
>>100158671lmao see you tomorrow
>>100158671
>working at early startup for 8 months>3 people left, probably fired before me this past month>have a 1 to 1 meeting with the HR woman in 10 mins
>>100158778Uh oh.
>>100156835>Still haven't gotten my degree, probably because of constant demoralization like this
>>100158778I'm in a similar situation. Several coworkers get fired every quarter. It's been two years so I'm used to it now. I don't care if I'm next.
>>100156859You're reading both. This is the furthest edge of the intetnet with most extreme opinions. The world is ending and everything is going perfectly all the time or you're a loser. The truth is stop going to social media sites and touch grass. The world is much less scary than it would seem from doomposta, and a lot more mundane than it would seem from hypeposts.
>>100158778Pet us know how it goes. Maybe you're being promoted.
>>100158799>thinkin anyone has the guts to fire you face to faceYou'll get a text message saying that your security credentials have been revoked. You'll have to find out that someone somewhere fired you
>application form asks for a cover letter, asks a few questions>get a form rejection two weeks laterI knew this would happen.
>>100155985In some places it is. I remember that at a consultancy the client would write an "X" on a paper everytime the junior consultant would ask them about something. If you accumulated 5 they would report you to their managers and ask you to be replaced by someone "more competent".Toxic AF I know, and that was while earning a little bit above minimum wage.
>>100159039At those kind of places it's actually a blessing you don't have to work for morons like them. They deserve every shit that they will absolutelt face due to their incompetence.
>>100157334You got me paranoid anon, gonna do some experiments to double check:- leave my teams open in my work laptop, available and set screen and laptop to never sleep- go back in 15 minutes, it should be "away"- get into teams mobile for 3 seconds and then minimize the app- check my laptop
>>100157334just open up notepad/word and put a paper weight on your space bar
>>100159076It was a banking company. My feeling is that these companies are operated by internal IT teams composed almost entirely by dinosaurs who only have business knowledge but zero up to date tech stack comprehension. But they probably have been working there for more than a decade already, so they do whatever the fuck they want.Then, a disaster happens and all goes to shit for weeks.
>>100158799>>100158855>>100158914Lol it was good feedback. Just a general update on the product and the future, why those 3 people left/were laid off.No raise but they said they were happy, if I pushed a little harder I would get a raise soon.
>>100157334i plug a mouse jiggler into my PC that's right next to my work laptop so the USB input can't be detected, then put my USB mouse on the jiggler, then play vidya. only after all my work is done, of course :)
>>100159233>if I pushed a little harder I would get a raise soon.Don't believe them anon, unless it's in writing
>>100159133Anon reporting back: I opened the app during two seconds and after 10 seconds my laptop teams went green. It works and we are so back, WFHchads.
I'm out of milk.Should I go buy milk on company time?
>>100155803Maybe I'm just paranoid but telling company A anything that implies that you aren't hungry for their corporate dick seems like a bad idea (and liable to get the offer rescinded)
>>100159316I've always felt like those were more for the employees than management. None of my bosses have ever given a single shit about this. The one time I got fired for failing to deliver I was diligent about keeping my IM status online by shaking the mouse ever 5 minutes.
>>100159502who the fuck gets fire for failure to deliver? was this netflix?
>>100159316thank you for your serviceI will now go and have a coffee on the opposite side of the city (3 hours left to go in the work day)
>>100159179based, I wished I was those dinosaursI bet they have a wife with fat tits waiting for them at home too, based boomers
>>100157370groaning because my coworker has apparently introduced more third party code into the codebase
>>100159502>>100159542I wouldn't see in a bad light if a dev "failed to deliver" provided he notified the risks and issues and documented properly the reasons why this was happening. Other thing is failing consistently and not giving a shit about it, jeopardizing the department estimates for the project pipeline continuously.Our jobs have a lot of uncertainty because the deliverables are usually quite abstract.
>>100159649I insulted a SCUM MASTER boomer once when I announced I was quitting after 2 months in the company (got a much better offer elsewhere and at least the manager knew what GIT was, unlike that guy), and he called me through teams to shit on me, inviting a colleague to put pressure. I told him that some of us continue upskilling unlike his lazy ass. His face at the unexpected retort was glorious.
>>100157959When that happens, I don't reply, but react with a "wave" emoji hours later.
>>100159542I pretty much didn't anything at all for two years.
>>100157959cancer yes just don't become one of those obnoxious faggots with nohello.net in their teams status please thanks I want to gouge their eyes out
>>100159777>nohello.net in their teams statusWhat the hell is this
Damn, no one is using my side project, guess I am NGMI
>>100159179Can confirm. Dad used to work at one of these, he, along with his uni buddies, built their IT infrastructure and the software they use from scratch and the higher ups kept refusing to update their shit so they're running on dinosaur tech, but he's getting paid to do nothing so he comfymaxxed. Needless to say, when he left (his boomer friends also left later), the company got fucked because no zoomer/millenial knows what the fuck they're using.
the feature is finally working in UAT after two months of crunch...sirs... we did it..
>>100159856At least you have one.All I wanna do is work on mine but the dayjob is too much of a drain on my intellect.By the time I finish the work day am just sleepy and tired.
>>100159953Well I'm currently a NEET... laid off last fall and the unemployment checks have already run out. So I have plenty of time to work on this while applying to jobs.
>>100155985>keep asking questions>get fired a couple weeks later after doing soI think I got trapped recently doing this.
>start working in one of the big consulting companies>2 months in no work waiting for suitable client >get told they have to have a reserve to have something to offer so just chillax about it>be basically high paid NEET playing vidya all day Paradise.
>>100159977Ah sorry to hear that, anon.Good luck and stay strong! You got this, faggot.
>Got interviews lined up for multiple faang jobs>TC staring at 200k for all of themAnyone else suffering from success here? I feel like I'm a couple days away from being fucking rich.
>>100157370The hardest part of my day is pretending to be busy
how many of the recruiters messaging me on linkedin is just automated spam? If they say they want to stay in touch do they actually mean it or is it just out of politeness?
>>100155569that's what they want you to think, and instead grab a gun and go to war
>>100160286it's all bots
I just want to sleep all day and never get out of bed or go outside
>>100160413it's actual legit accounts, though not sure how organic their messages are
Sad day boys. I was rejected from my "dream job" that was going to double my salary. I got to the final round of consideration, but it wasn't meant to be. Time to look for a remote job or two to boost my salary.
>>100160546at least you're employed
>>100160584We're all employed here. This is the tech WORKERS general after all.
I think MSP work is making me depressedI am getting all of my mentors tickets as he has been away for a while, they are all problems away above meI am getting all of our biggest customers tickets as well and its just patch fix after patch fix and nobody else knows how to work on their clusterfuckIm not even sure I can job hop easily as a network engineer
>>100160600tsmt>>100160584fuck off
Why can't I just write novels and make fotm games instead of having to go to an office, commute 4 hours a day, with a salary that can't afford meals for more than 10 days.
>create automation to gather site / server details on a variety of systems services across multiple datacenters, before I joined they had no idea what was on their servers >create neat spreadsheets that shows all of this data and has proper categorization and inventory detailsI'm still asked by Pajeet "engineer" to provide specific total counts of sites / servers, looks like they haven't figured out how to select rows in a spreadsheet and see the total.
>>100160671>having to go to an officeI so often forget how big of a blessing WFH really is. Fuck office, fuck managers, fuck small talk.
>wfh except for going to the office once a month (company policy)>every time I'm there a bunch of coworkers start making meaningless smalltalk>usually nod along and try to cut it short the first moment I canIronically I'm not even a sperg and I have a fairly decent social life but I just can't be bothered at work to talk to these people and pretend to care.
>>100156851who cares if it's remote or notcollege is more expensive than ever with a more fucked up job market than ever>muh dot com bubble>muh 08 housing crisisyeah and how many disgusting H1-Jeets were in the country when those happened?
I think I know why I didn't get through to the next round of interviews. I told the interviewer that I was empowered in my last job to make my own decisions and make changes without prior approvals or letting any of the higher up(s) know.His thinking probably went along the lines of, "he'll make changes without knowing what's going on, brick us, or will go stepping on everyone's toes - anon's a no." Thing is, I'm the lead when I make those kind of decisions along with the fact that I did like 80% of the work of the whole damn thing. Fuck me, I guess saying I'm incredibly independent and autonomous is a huge negative.
>>100160423Unemployment is unironcally wearing me out more than the job that just fired me. Whoops.
>>100159856You got to shill it
good morning sirs
>alien dictionary variation as the programming question for a 3yoe swe in the very first technical roundKILL ME
>>100161191saar, if u follow me on linkedin I will teach you many leetcodes sar and you will hire for FAGMAN pls follow me sar
>>100159686I don't think his behavior is due to being a boomer, it's more of a cum master thing. How is that even a thing?
>>100161225Maybe. He was seething because the HR cunt told him how much I was going to earn elsewhere (I told her just in case they counteroffered, but she just told me to take it because there was no way they could offer that).
>>100160771Me too except I go 3 times a week. I rather go to lunch and finish in 20 mins than hang with em. Used to have a small decent group that was alright but teams got moved around :/
>We are a global company!>therefore, India will be taking any and all SWE vacanies moving forward.diversity is our strength except when we open an office in india that is 100% indian
Someone should kill me. I'm not scared to die, I would kill myself, but others would look in shame and disgust to hear others murmur in the afterlife that the retard killed himself
>>100161225It is probably a boomer thing. I know plenty who have the company loyalty mentality, they think that earning $50k/year at the same job for the last 30 years and getting passed up on promotions and raises because management know they won't leave is morally superior to people who job hop and increase their salary. They wear their tenure at bumfuck company no one has ever heard of like a badge of pride.
It's so over that I am completing literal test questions before a company even acknowledges my existence.
>>100155424the people posting this are the same people complaining about applying to 3000 jobs and never getting a reply, while never comprehending the fact that they're the problem
>>100161014I posted about it in the relevant threads here, but no one seems interested. And I don't think I have it in me to message people on twitter or linkedin. I already hate myself for many reasons, I don't need to add "acts like a pajeet-tier spammer" to the list.
>>100161642What's the secret, anon?
>>100161722not being a midwit
>>100155350I need guidance, frens>mid 30's>living in SEA teaching English remotely>salary is decent here, but dogshit in the US. Job is a dead end with no future.>spent the last year getting some base level IT certs>hope there is still time for me to get out of this trap and make itShould I just anhero? Feels like it's over. I can't move back to the US. Is there any way to get a fully remote help desk job and build experience from there? Are there any career paths I should be looking at, such as Azure or AWS? thanks
>>100157370went for a 10km run in the mountains, i hate working from wherever
>Indeed no longer tells you how many other people have applied for the same positionIt's that bad, huh?
>>100160224May the numbers be forever in your favor, anon.>>100160816I've been ghosted for conveying I'm capable of being highly autonomous. Not sure if they didn't like my ego or their culture is inherently slow and bureaucratic. My advice is to figure out what they're looking for in the interview and explain your relevant achievements. Going overboard or under are both bad. Play the Numbers game
>>100161756let's kill ourselves together
>>100156865Daughter of some rich politician.Ended up doing extremely degrading porn.Her father then ended up trying to scrub it all from the internet to save face.
>>100161900You'll think a start-up would be happy to have someone highly autonomous but I guess not.No point of thinking about further than that. Shitty reasoning from the interviewer but nothing can be done.
>>100161613Companies really struggle in rewarding loyalty to them. The best way they can do it with salaries is simply offering better salaries than the competition does. >>100161756Will be tough outside of US or Europe since your clients will be there. You're competing with locals who work for pennies for companies in Europe and US so that's what you can also do.
I get 2 days of no questions asked paid time off a year (in addition to normal pto). They don't rollover, they don't accrue, and they can't be cashed out. I want to take a Friday off, but I'd feel like such a worm using one of these days just "because I feel like it." I'm not sick, I'm not traveling, I'm not doing anything. How to approach this conundrum?Technically it's 16 hours, not 2 days, so I could divide them up however I want to. Maybe I could come to work for an hour and just do my fifteen minutes of actual work and then take the remaining 7 hours off. That way my coworkers wouldn't really get any extra work due to my absence.

>>100162045How could an American live in Europe working help desk? There is a Spanish girl that wants to marry me. It's unfortunately too late for us to have kids though. What is a solid IT path that is best for remote work if I'm dogshit at programming?
>>100162073Just say you're sick? Or say something came up and you need to take an unexpected day off.

Never thought I’d get to this level of entitlement and laziness but 1 day a week in office is torture
>>100162597I'm 5 days a week in the office. My suffering qualifies as a war crime.
>>100161642Not really
>>100162708at least you have a jobbootcamp grad here, been searching for 13 months with no luck
>>100162708The crime is working your whole god damn life and still not having a thingIt’s crazy how they’ve got all this shit locked down and people don’t even notice or I guess just don’t careI start to realize what Schwab meant by you’ll own nothing and be happy. It’s simply easier to persuade people to choose being slaves
>>100162597>>100162708u dont got no rizz nerds, i fucked my bossy bitch manager the first week we met
>all the jeetposting eventually gets to me>decide to lie on my resume>still getting 0 repliesit's a lot more over than I previously thought.

I was told by a recruiter yesterday that they (Robert Half) have had ZERO (0) .NET/C# roles come across their desk ALL YEAR.Guess I should fuckin learn something else huh? 5 years of experience, on month #7 of job searching
>>100161337Been there, and I don't mean India.If you have shares, sell them.
>>100162597kek we have one day a week an i stopped going in altogether. what are they going to do fire me? LOL
>>100162930I just ask to wfh that day a lotUsually 2 times a monthSomehow I never feel good on that dayThey don’t seem to care and always say it’s fine

>>100163244I don't know, im personally always going for what I'm good at which is C# and JS, i don't know if you have particular affinity towards a certain language so i cannot tell, even if you're in a sea of jeets you have to realize they still suck and nobody wants them around so there's that.Zoomers are terminally glued to their phones so if you want to make money i'd suggest any language used for app development.Video game development languages are very interesting but the current blackcock/vanguard ESG score tranny enforcement will have you making games where you're Jew Biden and you chase down children or some tranny shit like that.Just go with what you like and if you get bored switch it up once in a while, it's good to know a bit of everything anyway.

How can I make a career in free software? I'm a sophomore CS major and I'm not really enthusiastic about applying to jobs, it seems like you have to just spam apply to get anything, and most jobs seem to be in proprietary software. I just want to make enough to eventually support a family, life in a safe white area, and not starve.

>>100164894>herIf it's a woman I'd help her always.
>>100164350>I wish I wasn't lazy and retarded and actually could do LC problemsI'm having a really good time learning Data Structures and Algorithms and leetcode with Neetcode (CS sophmore). I paid $99 for the course but I think it'll be good because once I finish I'll be able to make projects / actually having a fighting chance at OA's
My manager's manager just treated me like a bitch and he said I do no work.First they RTOd so I'd leave.Then they reorged aggressively so I'd leave.And now they assigned me a horrible project so I'd leave.And since none of that worked the next step is to pip me. I don't care. My whole life has been destroyed to my very eyes. Fire me if you will.
>>100165137Btw I am not working on things at work, because I'm preparing for interviewing.
>>100164997Maybe she doesn't care or doesn't listen because she knows someone will do it for her anyway.If you want to get off her ride, start replying with nothing but questions.>Where are you stuck?>Is it not in the notes I gave you?>Do you know how to <basic job task>>What have you tried so far?This has two advantages:- you have it in writing that she's either not qualified or lazy- she encounters resistance and may start pestering someone else, or start taking her job seriously, thus leaving you aloneShe can try to blame you when she fails ("he refused to help, so I couldn't finish the project"), so make sure you have a few screenshots with these chats saved from time to time.
>>100164350>>100165133>I paid $99 for the courseCorrection: I paid $99 for a year access to all the courses (DSA beginner, DSa advanced (lots of leetcode solutions talked through in these), and four others.
>>100165133>I paid for the coursePajeet detected
>>100164894Never give away the answer. Work through the problem together, following the socratic (dianetics) method of asking questions and making them come to the answer on their own. If they don't want to collaborate, tell them to fuck off.
>>100165154Nah, just someone who knows how to invest in himself who really likes being able to listen to his lessons instead of read them. Also it's relatively cheap all told.
>>100165146That's legit good advice, thanks anon
>>100165104Your boss sounds like a retard.>>100165143>And since [I am not working on things at work] the next step is to pip meShocker!
>>100165178You learn by doing, not listening or reading
>>100165195Correct. The course includes relevant leetcodes and leetcode type problems. Granted, the solutions are just a video away but, like all learning where its possible to cheat, you get out what you put in (and I'm putting in a lot)
>>100165217Just look up literally any university curriculum and do the projects and homeworks
>>100165337Or, and this may be hard for you to follow so please try to keep up, I can do what I am able and willing to do and achieve the same result. There are many ways to skin a cat. If that sole goal is that the cat is skinned then they are many ways to do that that are -not wrong-. Hope this helps (I doubt it does)
>>100165354Okay then I guess. Why would you even want to go into CS though, it's so fucking soulless
For anyone who got laid off or is otherwise looking for a new job with many years of experience, are you just not accepting offers below a certain range or there isn't any new jobs at all?
Kek, get ready for more headlines like this and a tech worker shortage 2.0
>>100165368>Why would you even want to go into CS though, it's so fucking soullessNTA but what isn't?That can pay well and comes with flexibility/WFH potential
>>100165368>Why would you even want to go into CS though, it's so fucking soulless1. Because people generally withhold things that are needed unless you have money (so I will likely need a job 2. It's generally easy to make a living without hurting others in the endeavor 3. I don't find it to be soulless, to me it inhabits the same part of the soulless/non-soulless spectrum as something like mechanical/electrical engineering
>>100165394Fair enough I guess, the grass always looks greener on the other side
>>100165399What do you do for work?
>>100165397It's not soulless for you because you're doing it on your own, the field itself is fine, but the culture around it is awful. Not to mention the demographics
>>100165413Can you name a soulful field of work?>Not to mention the demographicsPlease elaborate.
should I apply to jobs that say they require a bachelors degree even though I didnt finish college?I know for a fact Im more qualified than 90% of fresh CS graduates for a intern/junior level jobalso I plan to mostly apply to companies by email, not through official application portals
>>100165408I'm in college for math and CS, before you get on me for being a hypocrite for paying for college, it's for general credentialism and because my parents are paying for it. I really don't give a shit about trying to get jobs though, my friends in internships tell me about the bloat and garbage that goes on. I guess I'm just blackpilled
>>100165432>Can you name a soulful field of work?Anything can be, it's just the teleology of our economic system that makes everything soulless.>elaborateNo white people to be found here, all asians who want nothing but money
>>100165436>should I apply to jobs that say they require a bachelors degree even though I didnt finish college?Yes. If you don't, you chance of getting them is 0%. If you do, I think your chance of getting interviews and then getting the job is appreciably non 0%. It will be tougher than if you have a bachelor's degree though. Personally, I'm getting my bachelors so I don't get auto filtered (also my college is cheap enough to be covered completely by financial aid)
>pay is shit, no raise for 2 years>work is shit i don't learn anything everything is proprietary ancient tech>said proprietary tech caused a fucking sev issue because of a fault in the language itself yesterday>been grinding leetcode like a maniac for a month now putting 8 hours in the wekeends and 2 hours after work almost every day>took day off for 2 phone screens, literally as prepared as I can be>lmao doesn't matter here's a LC Hard for your very first technical interview ^) and btw we ask language-specific questions which I have no idea about as I've worked in the proprietary garbage 90% of my time>now learn that the sev issue is somehow STILL occuring even though it should have been dealt withI genuinely feel like my head is going to explode. At this point just fire me with severance - fuck this I can't do it anymore.
I'm going insane
>>100165488Good news, more pajeets flooding into the country to flood the tech market for you!

bros I just got perscribed prozac welbutrin and dextroamphetamine so I can complete in todays CS market, the dextroamphetamine only last for like an hour tho is it suppose to be like this or should I ask my doc for an increase dosage but im scared shes gonna think im a drug addict
>>100165634Maybe phrase it differently? Tell her that it isn't lasting long enough and you're sort of crashing. Be upfront, tell her you're worried that it could get you fired if you can't focus long enough.
>>100165634another one filters himself out of the market. good, good

I need a wife I think
>>100163317>is it time to leave? sucks because it's a pretty cool team at a FAGMAN companyI'd say so
i want something genuine
>>100164894She just asked me if she can connect a circuit without ground.That's it, I'm out, fuck this I cant.>>100165773But for the love of god stay away from automotive.
>>100165572>I guess it's time to talk to him and tell him that you can't deal with all the work, and that he definitely should hire some other people. also, ask for a pay rise. that should give him some hints that you are looking for other jobs...That's like trying to squeeze water from a rock. In m experience, if someone is not sensitive to your needs when you are being implicit and they also have an interest in just ignoring you then being explicit general doesn't achieve agreeable results.mismanagement + managerial insensitivity = interminable bullshit It's best to just quit at that point, imho
>>100163317Try to see if you can do an internal transfer. idk which fagman you're at, I'm ex. amazon and internal transfers happened all the time.
>>100165859How do you guys go about internal transfers? Isn't it weird to tell your boss you wanna switch areas?
>>100165634they may have started you on a half dose, to increase to full after 1-3 months.
>>100165634Ask your provider for extended release formula and go from there? Btw, having done both, dextroamphetamine is literally meth. So grats on the legal droogs
>>100165812Just another decade bro... robowifes will be real
>>100165900I never did it myself but there was a job board, basically the internal version of https://www.amazon.jobs which additionally listed the managers and some other internal info. You just had to reach out to the manager, there was an internal interview, then the managers approve the transfer. There were also various slack channels for poaching internal engineers. Basically it happened all the time at Amazon.
>>100165812I'll be your wife (i'm a dude)
>>100165859>>100165934based advice. Best of luck anon
>>100165634>dextroamphetamineDoes fapping high on this shit feels good? I just want to feel the same thing I felt when I first started masturbating
>>100165950In my experience it makes me able to last long and feel like I never have enough but not necessarily enhancing the experience.
>>100165934It makes sense, thanks anon.I wonder how people do transfers outside fagman, though. Did any of you ever do it "manually", aka without applying to an internal job board?
>>100165753>>100165773What I really want to do is get into semiconductor manufacturing. I got a tour of this big facility a while back but they didn't move forward because of a "hiring freeze" or whatever. Hoping I can transfer my skills into that and just read about lithography so I can drop buzzwords in the interview.
>>100165950In my experience, it just prolongs attention. So you can go like 4 hours edging or whatever but it never really made me feel hornier or more satisfied or what have you. I think trying to chase the dragon of the first time is a misguided goal. The spirits make the first one seem the best and then don't tell you that they will never do that again so they can manipulate you like Mara of Buddhism.
>>100164894>>coworker with same YoE asks me for guidance setting up environment>>Not even the same project>How the fuck did she survive the layoffs a few weeks agoLMAO try reading what you wrote and reflect a bit... she's been doing the same with other guys. she's probably useless.>I wouldn't even mind if she was cute but holy fuck nuggets.>t.simp
>>100165950for me it was quite the opposite, it made me feel like everything I was doing gave me purpose even the smallest thing like washing the dishes or linting my code made me feel fulfilled and didnt even make me fap at all when the drugs kick in
>>100165451>No white people to be found here, all asians who want nothing but moneyAny white collar fields not like this? Serious question
>>100165146This is good advice for real and I hope people (anon and people in similar situations) take it. Especially the taking screenshots.
>>100165967You mean like apply for a job at your current company, in the way an external candidate would apply?If so never heard of anyone doing that. I mean, what's the point? When they see your resume they would notice you already work for them right?Also just remember there was once a manager at amazon who did an internal transfer to my org and also brought 3 of her engineers with her. So these kinds of things are way more common than you might realize.
>>100166026>You mean like apply for a job at your current company, in the way an external candidate would apply?No, I mean like telling your boss you wanna switch.Or idk, ambushing another boss at the cafeteria and asking him to take you in.
>>100165991No shit Sherlock
>>100165904oh that makes sense>>100165928thanks bro it took me a year to finally get over my anxiety and seek help I thought meth would make people extremely hyper and do crazy shit but it actually calms me down and keeps my find focused
>>100166058Oh I see, you'd have to somehow hear about another team that's hiring. Harder if there isn't a job board obviously, but if you have friends in other teams they might tell you.
>>100166107I mean, I'm asking because I've heard a lot of people say they did internal transfers and I can't imagine they all went through internal job boards. But maybe they did and I was just very "unlucky" of never working at a company with an internal board.
What cert should I study for while I'm unemployed?I already have ComTIA Security+.Should I get a CCNA or are those worthless now? I heard getting vendor specific cloud certs is a bad idea because experience is king and I obviously have no experience working with GCP/AWS/Azure.
