i love my career and think low level systems stuff is fun but I really wish I didn't fall for the /g/ bait that web is for retards

i mean it is, but the skill floor is so low and the pay is so high. i could do backend web shit with my eyes closed but my resume is packed with 8 years of embedded systems and building Linux devices.

FAGMAN recruiter reached out to only now ignore me. I gave you what you asked for and followed up what more do they want? I'm already thinking I got ghosted.

I had an Amazon recruiter reach out to me and I had to schedule a 15 minute slot on his goofy Calendly link. He calls me and tells me that they MIGHT be hiring for a couple positions a few months from now. Beginning to learn that recruiters do the metaphysical equivalent of shuffling papers around on a desk in order to appear busy and important.

>>101524434
That's all they're doing. Senior recruiter my ass. I'm going to apply to a role and then flag them and see what they do there. They want a bonus, they're gonna need to earn it now.

I'm feeling like shit now. I think I'm going insane
I think the cause is one or multiple of these:
- the time wasted in this website
- some stressful stuff I'm doing IRL
- the lack of sleep, and
- the useless fucking retards I have to work with

Kinda of. Long story short, we couldn't make it work so we decided to end it (we did it in good terms). Now we can't even interact as coworkers or even as professionals without people noticing how awkward conversations are. Now it seems my coworkers caught on, and they tease me about it. Also thanks to the, we both also got a call from HR, telling us that we should sort out things or one of us will have to go (me)

hello saaar

I am in a small team of 4. We have no testing anything. My manager prioritizes speed over consistency and would rather have something broken done asap just so we can prove it exists. Anyone else work in a similar environment? I really don't like uncertainty but I mean, I can do all the testing and theorizing in the world and still miss bugs, so this kind of environment should be fine, right?

>>101525566

>>101525602
In all seriousness, are you a burger? The application market is so flooded that some places are probably unironically using the "throw half of them out, we don't need anyone who's unlucky" method.
I remembering seeing an HR roastie who was in charge of applications break it down, it was something along the lines of
>over 4000 applications
>about 3000 of those were basically indians trying to get a visa on a non-visa job
>about 700 didn't meet minimum requirements
>the remainders are now competing with 200-300 people for 1 open position

I'm thinking of reaching out to recruiters at FAGMAN on LinkedIn and see if they're willing to push me along for their bonus. Fuck. I hate this. I feel like I'm basically going to get my shit blacklisted for trying to use LinkedIn for its actual purpose, getting a job.

i tried to do it for a month or so, backpacking with my wife and using starlink/mobile data as backhaul to do work, and keeping supplies in the back of my X3. after like 3 days the novelty wears off and you're just begging for a place to take a shit and shower.

I am currently residing in Germany and doing a retraining as an IT-specialist in systemintegration.
I also am learning and creating coding projects on my side due to my interest to create something tangible and wish to
get into a more interdisciplinary position that allows me to get deeper into that niche.

However, I do not know what it is I am trying to focus on long term.
In one hand, I am getting trained as a sysadmin/helpdesk monkey.
On the other hand, I am preparing for the exam to get the degree that is aforementioned.
On the third (heh) hand, I am trying to learn as much about .net and angular as possible in my limited free time as I go back to refresh my knowledge on updated curriculum that got me where I am.
Especially if there are bugs that happen which take so much precious time just getting things to work in my private life, I want to gouge out the devs responsible for oneNote
Weird feeling.

Also, I am above 30 years old, but this makes me just the perfect candidate to consider me when zoomers are busy internalizing their brainrot.

>>101525997
>>101526027
I see, and instead of backpacking what about staying in a different city for like 2 weeks in good airbnbs?

Having fun coworkers changed my mind on wanting to be fully remote. Shit, social interactions can be nice.

>>101526043
consider the travel logistics involved when going from city to city, and also how cartoonishly expensive airbnb is. $175 cleaning fee? just stay in hotels.

>>101526046

>>101526058
Fine, it might also be because I have a crush on someone there.

>>101526046

>>101524583
I know what you mean anon. Grew up in a lower middle class family that basically became a single parent household because of alcoholic father.

Mom didn't work because of severe back issues from related abuse.

Was forced to go to school for pre med, didn't use any of it. Clawed my way up through tech and eventually did a boot camp to land some frontend dev jobs.

All throughout I have met the same types you have, and learned Zoomers are fucking stupid.

Stay proud Anon, since I am proud of you. If anything, try to find a local group of people that like some obscure hobby you're into. I found a retro computer group near me and that's helped a slight bit since most of those dudes are down to earth and just want to talk about old tech and games.

I am too contemplating what to do for my next section of my career and probably will do either developer advocate or project manager roles since I only see pajeets being hired left and right.

I realized I like working with code but not directly at it all day if that makes sense.

Maybe it's the "Where" I am working though so ive been applying to stuff left and right for months desu.

Plus I think my attention span is getting the best of me and will look into ADHD meds because my mom has it and it never helped her at all in her life.

Anyway, I'm proud of you dude.

Plenty. It's better to have a question answered by the retardbox than to sit on the question and not know the answer.

Ah your doing actual server admin or at least the coding side. Yeah if it was just IT related I would say apply to any job even if you only have 1 thing on there that is relevant.

My manager sided with my Indian teammates who do this. They'd say "Hello" and wait for a reply, and I wouldn't respond for 30 minutes while waiting for them to say whatever they needed. My manager told me in our 1-on-1 that some people were saying I wasn't responsive on Slack. I figured it was that, so I told her what was happening and she said "well why not say 'hello' back?"

Yeah it's fucking stupid. It's a chat message, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from saying "hello" and also saying what you need so I don't have to send and wait for multiple messages. And if someone just sends "hello" they might just want to say "hi" and I have way more important things to respond to. But I've already lost that battle until I transfer to another team or leave.

Drop LaTeX, you fucking autist. This looks like shit. Grab some random ass Word or Gdocs template online and rewrite your resume.
So you send the same resume for every application? You should customize the bullet points to tailor them to the application. Make sure you have all the right keywords or you're going to get filtered.
Half of your bullet points say literally nothing. You should also organize them better. For example, for XXX accelerator, you could have:
* Tech stack: Django, Vue.js, MongoDB
* Lead dev
- Developed a prototype for etc
- Used Agile to define goals and tasks
I also don't understand the sentence about being a finalist. Rephrase it.
The time periods are too generic, add quarters or months to indicate how long you worked on these.
The details of your degree matter because you're still a junior. Add classes relevant to the application as bullet points.

how much of an edge does being good with DS&A give someone in 2024? I'm grinding on it and I actually like it because puzzle solving is fun. I'm pretty sure I could get really good. However,

A. I hear at the high levels it's not actually that transferable to real world software design after a certain point (i.e. if you know what structures are good where, no reason to optimize further). If this is the case, I should spend my time on something more beneficial

B. A might be true but it is possible that being high-tier at competitive programming can help get a foot in the door somewhere that doesn't suck.

C. have heard that right now no one is hiring anyone who doesn't have a strong pedigree of good school + experience. I have neither of those things, I'm just pretty decent at making small stuff for myself and can probably get really good with leetcode because it scratches my autism itch

You really only need the high GPA for 4 things. Becoming a military pilot, a military officer, doctor, and applying for your masters degree.

Reality is that college if you lucky will only teach you 1/4 of the content that will carry over to your career. If you are lucky you will have tons of internships to fill in the gap.

Depends upon what 18% means to you. if its less than 15k$ you might want to reconsider if its more than that its a dam good pay bump. Not only that but if it helps your skills that means you can get another higher paying job later.

The biggest filter in the process is the initial resume screen. Because of the sheer number of Indian applicants and the fact that they lie and keyword spam to pass the filter, the set of resumes that reaches HR in the first place will inevitably be majority Indian. Women are terrified of being called racist, so even if Rajesh greets her in broken English and has trouble discussing his experience, she's afraid to put "language barrier" as a reason for rejection and lets the resume through in the hopes the hiring manager will do the rejection instead.

Imo take the job. If your skills severely stagnate, then it is best to move on within 2 years.
It is ok to chill out a bit, but after 2-3 years it is better to get back to a job that help future you. Unless you are very worried about being fired during your training period and are super worried about not finding another job after that.

Same boat but not a burger. I've got more response from finance and tech roles than I have for the degree got my masters for. People with 4.0/scholarship tend to be looked favorably and HR would take them over you especially when you do not have a referral into the company. It's the halo-effect of appearing "smart" and "teachable". Hope you didn't buy into the BS that is experience matter because it doesn't hold water for grad roles.

LMAO learn how to act its not that hard to pretend.

so im in an it support role for a year now for the local gov
rn i do

first line support when users contact me on teams regarding some issue(90% of the time its related to printers,some dumb user error or outlook/teams),escalating to a higher level when i cant solve it
managing inventory of our assets(mainly laptops and monitors)
commissioning new users
in person tech support for VIP's
modifying access rights to shared folders or specific software
dealing with suppliers when it comes to repairs/qoutes/warranties of laptops
wallport patching
doing physical inventory in our offices of it assets
decommissioning assets
generating reports from internal systems on our users/assets for projects(for example i got a list of all our users that are still on win 10 and was in charge of contacting them and slowly upgrading my list of users to w11)

my question is : is an entry level it support role supposed to have this many responsibilities?
am i overworked/doing jobs of many people?
can i apply for a higher paying job in the future using the stuff i already do?
I have a friend whos also it support and he says all he does all day is sit in his office and wait for users to call,literally everything else isnt his job.some days he gets 0 call,and hes paid a tiny bit more than me too.

Yes entry always has more responsibilities, more work and more physical tasks, this level of work varies wildly from position to position and company to company. Its a a true blue weed out position to get rid of people who don't want to deal with customers and who think the job is all about sitting at the desk.

>can i apply for a higher paying job in the future using the stuff i already do?

Economy is trash right now but normally 2 years and a few certs will push you into another position. Degree helps for management but they are normally looking for masters degree's now.

Actually, you probably have a better job than your friend who has to do less. You learn more stuff, get more stuff to put on your cv, get more work experience that you'll be able to use to leverage yourself into a better position in the future, and i guess working for the gov is a plus in itself
as long as you're not overwhelmed or burned out it's going fine. these "it support" roles vary greatly in responsibilities and tasks depending on company and industry
as for moving on from helpdesk well it's up to you to figure out how you're going to do that unfortunately. everyone has different circumstances

I am on the GET side of the fence and my colleague and I graduated wanted low level work. I feel like it’d be more fulfilling. Is it just a case of “I want what I don’t have”? And you’re right about the pay

I got lucky with a fully WFH job. I havent been to the office since I got hired during the covid. Recently I've been thinking about buying a rundown farm house in Tuscany and just living there and committing to this company. My job security is pretty high right now so I dont really have a reason not too.

My niggas
How do you balance your desire to learn after you graduated?
On the one hand, I have incredibly surface level knowledge, e.g. I graduated in 2017 before ML really was a thing for the "masses" outside of top universities, I don't know what P/NP means, I've never written a compiler, and lucked myself through most of my courses.
I do have the desire to learn, though.
On the other hand I'm afraid that deep technical knowledge like this will likely not be very useful in my career at this point. I'm an OK dev, but I'm too dumb to really earn top money as an AI researcher/etc. so my career progression will naturally lead me into management unless I want to be stuck as a Java/Spring monkey for the rest of my life.
Is it still worth learning even if there is no more monetary value behind it?

Is it so wrong to just go to work and go home and do whatever I want? Why is my family wants me to "seize opportunity" all the time? I've done so much to please them, and it's never enough. I already give 10% of my salary as an allowance for my 2 younger siblings each month. My parents are both fucking richer than me too, like 20x income compared to the peanuts i have now.

I know what i want in life, i know where to find money, but these guys keeps steering me to their direction as they please.

You gotta stop listening to them eventually. Listening to your family can only take you so far in life, even if they are generally right and trying to be helpful.

AI researchers don't even get paid that much anymore unless you're working for the top companies. It has become hyper competitive, you need many published research papers (or a few very impactful) or a work history at prestigious institutions / companies.

Meanwhile as a data engineer fiddling with settings on azure / aws and using their tooling is very easy to get into. It might not pay near what the top makes, but you'll have a path to data architect and manager which are roles that do get compensated very well.

>>101534116
Public sector. But you should distance yourself from your work and put up barriers. Almost every other project fails. The demands from tech are gigantic in scope but the people carrying it all out are either inept or stopped caring. There are legions of consultants involved at every gov org, most of them deliver quick work that is impossible to maintain but mostly fits the requirements. Whenever you need to implement or work with whatever the consultant shat out you uncover tons of bugs, errors and what not.

This is why you must absolutely distance yourself from caring about the work. The competent people working there are intentionally slacking because they know that if they take charge and do something good there isn't even a salary raise in it for them. It's very tightly regulated by the gov and it's basically just a waiting game to see the salary go up, because more years = more pay. Nothing else matters to gov org, they have no reward incentives. They do have a lot of incentives to fuck up and not take the work seriously though.

This reminds me of Austin. All the techbros moved here only to then ask what the hell do you do here.

Embedded systems was what I was going to pivot from mech eng to because I liked it, then realised that it’s god awful for a SWE job, worst pay, most work, and least benefits (need to go in office most the time for security or just equipment reasons).

If you wanna know how good a field is, look at the pay/autist ratio. The more autists the more likely only the mentally ill obsessed would work there (thus nobody else was willing to work there for that wage)
