do HR even believe people anymore when they tell them they're excited to work for this company because they're the greatest, or that this gap in the resume was because we were busy working on open source projects and traveling the world

Hey, go be a communist, unironically. I don't care one way or another.

I would kind of prefer it if commies took over anyways. My dad was a party member in the 80s and grifted the fuck out of the commie government. I'll do the same.
>>
I was always under the assumption that in order to survive a work place for a long time you must be good at your job and friendly with all your coworkers (aka lounge around the office and joke around and not leave early). Would you guys say that isn't the case? That a good or decent performance is worth way more than being a social coworker?

I wanna be one of yall

can an artistically skilled person take the most basic CompTIA cert and get these web design/UX/Graphic designer jobs? I see a lot of them in my area and I think that would give me the edge I need. Along with a strong visual portfolio.

I have the option to take it and I just need to get *A* job

>>101234151
Being popular with my coworkers has opened doors for me, I got a performance bonus solely due to my lead liking me, coworkers have my back and have defended me before against management. It's been worth it. I do leave early though, fuck that.

luckily as a tech worker you can just exempt yourself from all that since you actually do things. that's why this is the best field you can dodge social siutations quite easily. you can still talk to your boomer brained coworkers if you want to anyways but i strongly prefer not to.

Had a “meet & greet” call with a potential boss today after I sent an email to an executive management person I did some work for in the past and is a family friend.
We went over my background and I explained the kind of work I’m looking for. She told me that the reference spoke extremely highly of me, then she shared a job opening that would have me join her team and told me to apply and we’d “continue the conversation.”
I have been insanely depressed in unemployment lately and it’s the first time I’ve felt hopeful in months.

I live in the Netherlands. If you got the perm contract your manager needs to actively document proof of your ineptitude over a period of time. Then your employer needs to give you a path and a fair chance of improving that performance. If it is improved, you are off the hook for like 6-12 months again to slack so the cycle can repeat itself. You could drag this out for years until you get fired.

I think I know the answer to this but surely the people behind programs and initiatives like this realize that it is a net negative for the industry (more bloat + mediocrity) and it hurts people who already have the skills by making them worth less now that more people have them. The demand for these skills has not increased enough to justify a significant increase in eligible workers, especially given recent layoffs, H1B visas, etc, and mike and jamal the fucking UPS drivers thinking they'll be able work from home making 6 figures will be very disappointed after "building their skills".

What should I do? I think I need to get a job in IT.

I never had a job in IT but it has always been my hobby. I can code, automate tasks at my job, build websites, fix and build computers, and build navigating mobile robots in ROS/ROS2, etc.

But I work in a grocery store. It's very physical and I like it, and I don't like sitting down or sitting still. But now my girlfriend is saying she'll break up with me in October and go to the United States to study if I do not get a proper career-type job. Plus I do need more money because living is too expensive and I will need a house one day.

But I have zero ambition and don't feel like I want anything more than filling shelves, even if it is a moron job.

You guys are spoiled. In the semiconductor industry I would give a presentation on top of an entire day of interviews, only to be shot down. Happened many times.

One time I went in for "interview day" at Intel where I had a meal with another candidate interviewing for the same position. Pretty crummy to make us eat together like nothing was up. I'm pretty sure I was only invited so that they had two bodies competing for one spot.

Pro tip: if some recruiter is rushing you into an on-site interview without a phone-screen, they probably just want to fill application slots for the paperwork.

where do i go from service desk bros? i only have an A+ and it only makes sense to move vertically if i change jobs, what with the pay being the same all across SD jobs and the sysadmin-esque skills i've picked up over the last 3 years. however, i can't find shit that doesn't require extreme specialization and/or a BA. college is out of the question because i'm approaching the end of my 20s and i'm not about to open loans for just the CHANCE at getting something better

How long is too long to stay at one company?

I'm approaching 5 years at my current place and don't really feel the need to move anytime soon. The work is interesting and I've worked on multiple projects. They let me WFH, don't breathe down my neck about getting shit done.

I'm paid pretty well too, compared to what I've seen that's out there. I don't really want to move and risk losing what I've got, especially if I'm not earning that much more. I'm just worried that when I do come to move jobs, they're going to see 6-7 years at one company and think something is wrong.

In the old days during the long long ago, people wrote content for their own websites that they self hosted. This was before zoomers, niggers, pajeets, and femoids were on the internet. After the internet became a normies thing and literal woman and niggers invaded what was meant to be a white space, there were blogs. Today you have social media filled with hoards of low IQ turd worlders and zoomers with 30 second attention spans. Good luck with this idea though. You'll need it.

Hey faggots, with LLMs quickly improving what are you even studying for?

11 brutal truths every /twg/ anon needs to know:

1. Creating content won’t grow your schizo level. Creating the right content will.
2. The less you share your true opinion The slower you’ll grow.
3. People won’t believe you even when you’re telling the truth.
4. Content not getting engagement? Not the janny's fault.
5. Not getting leads? Your ideal thread friends don’t trust you.
6. You must learn “how to learn” if you want to grow.
7. You’ll want to quit every 2 weeks when you start.
8. Your trip popularity won’t grow if you never söyjak.
9. You’ll always feel your content can be 5x better.
10. People will call your success “a stroke of luck.”
11. Virality never guarantees schizo growth.

Never forget these 11 truths.

You’ll have a much smoother /twg/ journey.

What is a "schizo level" and why should you grow it?
>>
>>101240458
Ironically growing your "schizo level" involves humorously embracing and exaggerating unconventional and conspiratorial thinking. This can serve as a tool for critical thinking, creative expression, and satirical commentary, while also fostering a sense of community and humor. However, it’s important to approach this with sensitivity and context awareness to maintain the balance between satire and respect for serious issues.

I say stuff like I want to move to a higher level and have more growth opportunities with the company and help streamline workflows etc.

at the end they always say that they've got a lot of people they are interviewing with as well and get back to me end of the week so I know it means rejection.

Hence why smart people will remain in programming and dumb people may find there are less jobs available.
I actually used ChatGPT for a gain for the first time yesterday at my work. I was doing some messy ass templated stuff in C++ and after 5 mins of googling I decided to ask ChatGPT and it gave me 3 answers - 2 of which were completely wrong, and 1 of which worked for the example if I edited a few lines. Which I then had to adapt to the actual use case since I just asked it how to recursively handle variadic templates and not to program the finished function.

So, right now I'd say it's an excellent 2% productivity boost tool.

I don't throw resumes in the trash if they say mechanical engineering, physics, mathematics, etc. but I would trash it if there were not 3 or 4 big full stack software projects listed on it showcasing what you know in a way that makes it clear you know what production-tier programming looks like.
>>
>>101243163
Correct answer. Do not devalue your time by working yourself to the bone. Pad out your estimates with ample time to make way for unexpected problems and try your best to deliver. If somebody else were to set estimates for you, they likely haven't got a fuckin' clue and will give you no time at all. They will become upset, they will not hold themselves accountable, they will blame you for their own ignorance on how software is made.

Honestly, it would entirely depend on what projects you have listed on your resume if I open up a resume and see like some side project where the tech stack is.. idk heres a random made up example but like:
"Python, Flask, Airflow, Cloudflare, Teradata, Snowflake" If I see that, and the accompanying codebase, for several projects of similar or vaguely similar quality. I'm going to be like 'Ok this person is going to be chill with backend/devops shit at a professional level'. It really doesn't matter to me what the job history is so much as having items like that on their resume. Most people applying when shifting fields dramatically just put down TODO app clone, or random Kaggle analysis shit or like some 3rd party API consumer thing with a frontend stuck on it. None of that indicates that the person knows fuck all about what they are doing. It also isn't about a specific component for most resumes I see if they write down 'Ansible' at all that is a good sign. I don't care if they specifically use one tool over another. 70% of the applicants we get wouldn't know wtf ansible even is.

It's easy when you know how to entertain yourself or keep your mind busy then again I never really had friends or people around me. I think the only reason why I haven't lost it is because of forums , twitch chat, and the 3 close friends I have

my mom keeps pushing me to help her friend out and try to get him hired at my company. the dude is like 30 years older than me and has been living solely off of contract work and his wife's consistent paycheck. does anyone else not like doing these kinds of things? I don't want to gamble my reputation on some rando I don't care about.

I don't really have close friends but I live fairly actively. There's things you can do alone. Over the years I've learned how to pass time by myself. I think I'm going to go for a run this evening.

You should never risk too much in helping people you don't know or barely know. It's all downsides and no upsides. It's likely they'll never help you back, and if shit goes wrong, they'll blame you.

Interviewing candidates for a c# dotnet position. Had a jeet apply that had asp.net rest apis on his resume. When it came to the technical interview, he didn't even show because he actually only had experience with java spring and put c#/dotnet because it's close enough.

Thanks anon. My team got laid off in September 2022 so it has been close to 2 years. I was in Grad school to get a Masters degree that I finished this Spring so I have a decent excuse for the resume gap. I actually quite liked not working for a while but it starts to become incredibly stressful to hemorrhage money and also not have much purpose

>>101244729
I see, what sorts of things are being asked for in the C#/.NET world in interview these days? Is it possible to learn enough using some personal projects to actually be somewhat technically capable, or am I wasting my time?

Tomorrow I have the “technical interview” stage for a data engineering role. Asked Senior manager at last interview what the technical stage would be, and they shrugged their shoulders and said it is up to the actual team interviewing me.
Asked HR contact what it will be and they just mumbled and rattled off random buzzwords
>”technical challenges…tech choices….problem solving….how do you build the right thing….white boarding….deep dive into technical challenges”

Did I fuck up? I'm working on an app that our hr people are going to use eventually. It is not done to the point that it has a hello world front page but is in a "testable state". I'd say 30% of MVP. My manager just messaged me asking why the demo is showing old data and I told him it is because it is on a testing branch (because why wouldn't it be? it isn't done). And he is like "Oh no, this needs to be connected to live data asap". Why would I ever have a demo connect to live data? Why is my manager letting hr already use this? Is this my fault? Did this dude talk us into a corner?

>>101245468
HR is unironically retarded in all things tech so your manager needs to start showing them the real data so they don't go off on him about how it's showing old data.

they don't understand that its a demo. they dont understand the concept of segregated testing data. they don't understand SHIT. they look at website and see pretty colors. they will keep pestering your boss about "why is it showing old data" until the cows come home.

if your product doesn't modify any data, no harm in having it display the current stuff. if they can start fiddling with live data on the demo, then you better make sure the demo is tested to hell and back. also, just do what your boss says and divorce yourself from your code. if the roasties want to fuck up prod, let them (but they will probably blame you for letting retards like them even use it).

Should have asked what their budget was for the position. Them saying yes fast means you left money on the table.

I'm so glad I don't have to talk to the non tech people. I don't know if I have the patience in me. thankfully the demo right now is only readable stuff. no ability to modify things yet.

I dislike the guy I work with. Always seems like he thinks his ideas are objectively better, and reverts anything I do to what he thinks is best. But his shit sucks so much dick and is so incredibly unreadable. And I think he uses AI to write literally everything he's written in the past couple weeks because it has those stupid comments AI usually leaves in code and he never leaves comments. I hate him so much

what are your laptop idle lock timers set to, bros? i have to move my mouse every 12 fucking minutes.

>>101245560
it's horrible anon, most of the time the non-tech people will nitpick a stupid flaw (like wrong title on a webpage for example) and then continue harping about it for the entirety of the Agile sprint because they NEED to make themselves appear knowledgeable and in-the-know. the best part? when you spend the 2 minutes to fix it, they will continuously hold it against you and make sure that someone is making sure anons code is good, because he got the title wrong.

FUCK you stacy, PLACEHOLDER is clearly a fucking temporary title you mong, next time it'll be STACY TONGUES NIGGER ANUS ffs

>>101245597
>And I think he uses AI to write literally everything he's written in the past couple weeks because it has those stupid comments AI usually leaves in code and he never leaves comments
He might've been asked to increase his comments so he asks AI to do it for him. They can do that, just slap some code in and ask it to comment.

Who are you referring to specifically?

>>101245553
It's worse than you seem to understand. When he asked what I wanted for total compensation (I was thinking like $200K or something, but I really didn't know what to factor in), I went full retard and told him what I wanted for base pay ($150K), rather than total comp. So $150K is the answer for my total comp. So yeah, I left a lot of money on the table. I guess I'll awkwardly see how high I can negotiate it up from there if I end up doing well on the interviews. Or maybe they'll hire me just because they got such a good deal hahahahahahahahahaha

nah I'm almost certain it's AI because not only have comments started popping up but he's also coding in a completely different style than he used to. So either a switch flipped randomly and he changed how he formats and writes code or he is using AI. And he's like the lead coder as well so no one over him reads any of the code our team of 5 puts out.

You still shouldn't lie on your resume, you'll be stressed out the whole time if you do. Part of the reason I can relax and only work a few hours a day as because I know how to solve the problems quickly and would rather just play Roller Coaster Tycoon for a few days instead.

I got hired a few months ago and told them I was making $xxxk at my last job so I'd like something more than that.
I wouldn't have minded something lower but at this point I don't take any of this crap seriously and told them that was my absolute minimum. They kvetched but ended up hiring me over the other guy anyway.

Remember at most companies the guy who writes the budget and the guy who picks new hires are separate people and lowballing by $20k isn't going to solve any problems for them anyway.

You might consider rewriting (not just retyping) it on a personal machine and putting that on Github.
That would still be illegal but it's not as blatent as uploading it straight from corporate equipment.

Anyone else have a coworker who's always sick?
I thought he was faking it at first
But he mentions it in the group chat pretty much unprompted at least once every couple weeks
I feel like if he was faking it he would only mention it when someone asks him to do something
He doesn't seem like he has cancer or anything so its weird that he would actually be sick that often
Nobody seems to question or call him out for it
