The only programming language I know is Python. Of course I also know HTML, CSS and SQL but who cares.
Which one should I learn next? I don't care about memelangs that will make me a "better programmer" I only care about money, employability and comfort.
>>
>>101564806
PHP for good comfort sir
Money is okay, just don't get sucked into wordpress development then it sucks. Stick with Laravel and Symfony. It's comfortable because the pace of language, framework and tooling development is pretty slow. No rush to always learn next new thing. And it's usually just backend web dev, making APIs etc. Nothing too stressful.

Currently have a chance to take part in a cybersecurity degree and a general CS degree but can choose only one.
What is the best pick long term? Im thinking cybersecurity cause originally i wanted to become a network engineer and cybersecurity had a big part in it so i was thinking is the best choice for that alone. The cs degree sounds the most flexible

CS > Cybersecurity

CS for the programming since the high end of cyber is hacking or building software related towards security. Bonus points is that its always going to be a more of a preferred degree over anything. For networking and cybersecurity you can always get certs towards what you want to do later.

Yep, even as a seasoned dev I feel that the economy is still bad. I am being held hostage to my current shitty job and I struggle to get out, my CV gets completely ignored most of the time.

cybersecurity is 10x harder to get a junior job in, and it's easier to go from comp sci to cybersec than vice versa

Yes there's quite a few. I guess I work with PHP because it's the first thing I learned and it was fairly easy to find jobs with no degree or much experience. But now I make mid 6 figures with 10+ yoe and still use it so there's a whole career path there. I also use Python and JS a lot but we have many PHP projects and still start new ones sometimes.
>>
>>101564952
>>101565021
Hm, I see. My only issue with the general CS degree is that its a masters degree for people that haven't finished a bachelors in CS and gives them a chance to take part regardless but seems like pointless when I can go to a paid college for 3 years. The masters lasts for 1.5 years.

Is data science/modelling a meme career path? I have master's in EE and don't know wft to do with myself. I can do either analog/digital electronics, embedded programming, FPGAs or become a python wagie for a bank and do data modelling AI memes. Pay will be shit with either option since I'm in Europe.
>>
>>101565068
Masters in CS and generally any degree is partially management related. It still counts but in different ways. If you have a free college degree you can obtain then get that if you feel like it. Either way do not waste your time go with a masters degree.
>>
>>101565091
>Either way do not waste your time go with a masters degree.
Sorry im tired but you mean that I should go for the masters instead of a bachelors or I should not waste time with a masters?
>>
>>101565086
I don't know about EE careers so I can't compare them, but data science is a good career path in Europe at least. It's fairly comfy, most people WFH and the pay is good by european standards. My experience might be anecdotal but it's less stressful than other tech careers as a whole. Data science being the sweet spot; in analysis you're doing a lot of business intelligence shit and interacting with various departments which can be daunting, and in data engineering you have to handle the infrastructure, ETL pipelines and all that so if it shits itself it's on you. Data science is just doing transfer learning, plugging models together until something works.

My bad. You should not waste your time with a bachelors if you can do a masters degree. I have been drinking way to much this week. You won't have that much difficulty doing a masters degree in CS if you have a decent fundamental of programming skills.

However if your bachelors degree is free paid for by work or whatever then you can burn that money if you feel like it but it is a waste of time otherwise to get a second bachelors degree.

>>101565300
I'm not American so I'm not sure what TA is, and medical benefits are required by the law so it's usually the same.

Small expenses like free gym membership, discounted travelcards do add up though.
>>
>>101565360

Ask yourself this anon. Do you prefer hands on, do you want to run your own business, is your goal in life to fufill a higher purpose? This is soul searching and you need to find it both inside work and outside of work.

10-20% increase is pretty good, the bonuses are just the icing on the cake, gl anon
>>
>>101565368
TA is tuition assistance. For some companies in America it can be alot of money or very little. Some people stay at a company just so they can get there masters degree then bounce once the obligation is done. Assuming your European that's not a concern. Good benefits you have from the job though. Gym roughly goes 60-120$ monthly in the states for a decent gym.

post 9/11/GI bill or Tuition Assistance?
Either way you still need certifications if your future path is either cybersecurity or networking. I recommend getting your CCNA at the minimum if your end goal is cybersecurity since most of those fuckers need to know networking and frankly IT is networking first then you can specialize afterwards. Or you can be like me and go for your CCNP to become a networking engineer.
>>
>>101565466

You can call it that but im not from the US. Served for a few years got a money bonus and applied to a program for the unemployed and they got me.

>>101565508
Get your CCNP do not downgrade then. It takes a year or two to get both tests done. Then you can move to cybersecurity. You will have a massive leg up with both a masters degree, some programming experience and a solid foundation of networking.

Legitimately cringe, why would you do that? White noise is also cringe.

If you're in an office with normies it pays to at least try to act like a normie in some small way. Instead of listening to some dumb shit like nico nico douga ryuuseigun or nasheed or whatever deep fried bullshit retards listen to these days, just put something halfway normal on so you don't have to embarrass yourself when someone asks a basic question. Trance music or something is fine for this, you just say it's good for concentration because its repetitive, doesn't have many lyrics and helps you focus.

I get you aren't a normie, but you don't bring your shit music into work for the same reason you don't bring anime figurines in to decorate your desk.

Some colleges have bachelors thesis which is just an extended research paper 20-60 pages in length as the capstone class. Remember when they didn't have capstone classes?

Weird. I had a capstone project that was actually a real engineering project compared to everyone else in my class. Everyone else had instructables projects or a company threw a problem they already solved at the program with steps to it.

You're also not gonna get anything good out of an undergrad that has never done research work or completely not interested in it. What a waste of everyone's time.
>>
Honestly, I'm enjoying the IT crisis very much.
Pretty much since I've started working, I have always had 1-4 juniors to baby sit and I hated every moment of it. Of course there was few that easily picked up stuff and become productive teammembers I could rely on. But majority of my time was spent checking same fucking PR over and over again, trying to explain to them how to improve it, but they never listen, never learn, never try to improve. Just pump out same PRs with same mistakes and complain that I am too rigorous with code reviews. Time and time I again I kept telling my boss that they are slowing me down and it literally would be faster if I was on my own and that they are net negative, but he wouldn't believe me and muh "we need to train them".
And now, we have none of that shit anymore. No more juniors, no more waste of time. I have been carrying the entire project solo for months and I have never been this productive. Work is comfy again.
>>
>>101566710
>You're also not gonna get anything good out of an undergrad that has never done research work or completely not interested in it.

I'd argue with my limited experience in engineering that it really depends upon the person. For most people doing 3 more classes to avoid a thesis is about the same as doing the thesis for a masters degree in terms of educational value, writing and work involved. For alot of people doing the thesis is easier. No clue about bachelors since most people doing a bachelors thesis are really getting that taste of academic education before they get there PhD. Then they can determine if its worth it or not.

In my CS degree, bachelor thesis was mandatory and everyone was doing some practical project. You could probably get away with research but you would have to justify it somehow.
I did multithreaded ray tracer implementation in Rust. The theoretical part focused on how suitable Rust is for such thing and practical part was the actual program.

True it does depend. My opinion is just highly colored since my uni basically had all of their undergrad classes taught at a graduate level. Every class including the upper division and extra curricular courses were weed out courses.

Algorithmic and encryption design in advanced networking. I had nothing else I could choose from the topic list that would match what fits my current knowledge base. I basically smashed together 2 different ideas that do not exist in the real world and said it might be possible based upon the needs of TCP/IP suite moving into cybersecurity needs. Only issue is that shit is far and above even RFC comments and they just accepted it after 50 pages of written bullshit stating that we need to utilize encryption in all layers of the TCP/IP model. It was haphazard hell for my CS masters degree.

Basically imagine routing protocols with built in encryption. I am currently drunk as fuck so sorry for the shit writing.

>probation
Does that word have any meaning beyond the justice system?
There wasn't just 4 juniors, that was just the most I had to baby sit at single moment. By the nature of my position I do not stay with them for long. I'm usually doing solo R&D or prototypes with small team. After the project is done, I usually move to something else with different people.
Like I said, some of the juniors get good quickly and become dependable. These usually have good success in the company. The problem is with these eternal juniors that never improve, don't give a fuck and just waste my time. Unfortunately, they very rarely get fired. Sometimes it happens, but usually they get eventually moved to some low risk project as a last hope that maybe at least they can produce enough value to cover their own wage. Most of the time they just quit.

>>101566978
I might be retarded, but I'm the retard that will get complex shit delivered before deadline and it will work.
From my perspective, I am doing everything right and just get badly matched team. I much rather would want to get some quality UX/UI designer and some tester monkey, etc, but instead I get multiple programmers that waste more time than they save.
The feedback I got from the company is that people say communication with me is lacking but if they have me on their team they rest easily that there won't be any major fuck ups with the project.
Feel free to make your own opinion.

Does anyone know how I configure an aws transfer family sFTP connector to have a specific outgoing IP? I've tried setting endpoint type on the transfer server as "VPC" and feeding in the subnet ids and address allocation id. But the connector error is useless and just says timed out, don't even know if I'm getting blocked due to a whitelist or if something else is wrong.

Masters which is depending upon where you take it is all about additional management classes. 1/3 of the people drop because they cannot handle the extra work while they work full time but its not that hard. 1.5 times the difficulty from my experience.

I just like what I'm doing. I find it much easier to focus for longer period of time than to do it in parts. It takes me a while to start working, but once I get to do it, I steamroll over my tasks.
Comfy chain, high tempo music, coffeine, clear todo list, and I'm in the flow. It also helps that I know what I'm doing and rarely face something that would be difficult to solve for me.
I also highly encourage working before the resting, not after. Procrastination rest is not real rest, and you will find yourself stressing over the deadline.

Dopaminergic stimulants do not work for me. Weed can be ok, but only if I'm doing something that is easy and repetitive.

Any securitychads itt? We have a vm that is running some automated scripts. Is it even possible to make this secure? I mean if somebody gets access to the machine, no matter what we do, it would be relatively easy for a tech-savvy person to do whatever they wanted.

I think I unintentionally pissed someone off about their job at a larger company. Didn't say anything to trigger that kind of response either. I just wanted to learn a bit more about their team and who they interact with so I can get a better picture before applying.

Reach out to them on forums (e.g. Linkedin) or throw their names into phonebooks.

If you are a <95th percentile fresh grad you literally have no other option so you have to play the game of numbers.
recruiters don't give a shit about your personal projects and won't use more than a minute on your resume.
but there is always a nonzero chance you are actually the best/only candidate or a neuron misfires in the recruiter's brain and they decide to go with you

Either they like you, want you on the team, but might not be able to swing the budget OR they want to get a few more months out of you and have no intention of adding anyone else to fulltime payroll.

I am literally in the same position, realistically we're fucked and I suggest you start looking for another job. That's what I'm doing, my boss also is pushing hard for me and the team wants me to stay but in the end it's not gonna be his decision nor theirs.

Just bombed a live coding interview...
>It should have been super simple, just an easy vertical splitter component that takes two components and can be dragged to resize either component.
>My brain went completely blank on the mouse events side of things. I could not for the life of me understand how to detect a mouse drag, and whether it was dragging one way or the other. It’s something that I would generally ask AI or do some reading of docs, but it was a timed assessment so I just blew it completely. First off I should have used React, even though they said I could use Angular, I could tell during it that they were looking for specific React usage. And secondly the anxiety of having somebody watching your screen is terrible, and it didn’t at all reflect the way I actually work. I shamelessly use AI when I don’t know things, and reading the working code and going to docs for further understanding has been a great way for me to keep up speed while learning and get stuff done. Idk it just genuinely was a shitty experience. I did super well on the first three rounds, and 3 hour take home assessment, but the live coding was a complete bomb and they disqualified me immediately.
>It felt super weird, and I felt like I couldn’t google anything I would usually. I really hate being monitored and I allllways bombed tests in college because of the memorization and on the spot anxiety. Feels like that all over again.

Hopefully I get over it, but I really just wish live coding assessments were not the standard.

I have mad anxiety and I can barely print 'hello world' if someone is looking at my screen, you're not alone. I do have a job, you'll get one too.

holy shit, look at all these drops in salaries. Golang dropped by 20% what the fuck, it was rank 2 last year

My company is getting fucking obliterated in revenue/earnings/etc for the last couple of quarters. I think I'm fucking donezo friends. I've been put on a soul-less task for like 10+ months now and its going nowhere, I think I'm just gonna get laid off

You gotta sound cool to sell the jobs. Look at the other names for the jobs. Its no wonder why people think they got ripped off from the recruiter when no one even knows what the job description means. It does not help that every 6 years career fields merge and separate all the time.

That is way out of date list. Even when I joined that list was missing a ton of new jobs being merged or made

Close to accurate if not request the recruiter to print out the AFSC list.

This won't help you to filter people who won't improve either. Someone can be ok hire for a junior, but if he never improves and submits half-assed code that he takes forever to fix, he will only slow down the team. Someone can be competent and still work very slowly and put no effort into it.

>>101575543
Its all about certifications
Redhat for server admin
AWS / Azure / Kubernetes / Docker and the likes for server admin

Comptia trifectia then CCNA/CCNP for networking.

If you want to become a engineer level you need to get a masters degree in whatever the fuck some have MBA's some have CS some have IT. That along with certifications is the only real filter for high end positions.

I got laid off and flew off the handle today like a retard during the zoom call

Once the chief HR officer said "unfortunately this reorganization will result in the elimination of your roles" I yelled WOOOOOOOOW THATS AWESOME MAN THANK YOU! He said he was deeply sorry and understands what I'm going through and this made me so mad I said "hey it's a good thing you still have a job. you need to pay for that hair transplant, baldie. YOU'RE BALDING MAN"
And then I was promptly kicked from the call

Is this enough cause to take away my severance pay or something? I still don't regret it honestly. I don't fucking care anymore. I'm gonna go drink
