You need at least 18 months to survive or at the immediate you need to survive winter and the start of the year when most companies hunker down there profits during holiday season and then reopen hiring during summer. So 6 months is the minimum.

You can better prepare with having dried goods and cleaning supplies that will last you a whole year and you often get it at a cheaper price when you buy in bulk or bulk buy when its on sale I find having stuff stocked away makes it easier to do month to bills since I am only buying veggies and meats at the grocery store instead of random assortments of household goods.

This, companies aren't even gonna start hiring until after Q1 2025. My whole career I've never seen it this bad.

FAANvidiaG is straight up cutting down anything that does not make a profit. No one is investing in products that do not make a profit anymore. This is because you can no longer leverage cheap debt to turn a profit.

Streaming sites are consolidating again, cable companies are reinvesting into there exiting networks instead of expanding, power companies are going broke with non paying customers, restaurants, and grocery stores are consolidating hard if there lucky not to be the ones closing. Everyone you or I know that is shit with money is now eye balls up to debt on more credit card debt, BNPL, private loans, refinancing, and taking tons of money out of there 401k. Everyone is buying generic products and luxury goods w resellers have dropped like a rock because who really needs it.

the worst part is, we're a 501(c)3 non-profit research lab at the center of the cable industry. our entire gimmick is coming up with new IP and rapid prototypes for our member companies to use. CTO has mostly eliminated innovation practices in favor of high resolution micromanagement pseudo-agile workflows. i'm so lost.

why are CTOs like this? at least other C level people's jobs are mostly opaque to everyone else in the company. CTOs always seem to be so boisterous and flamboyant, like they've got a never ending need to prove themselves and justify their position.

My father recited a story the other day I've never heard before, usually he barfs out the same few ones repeatedly. The story goes that Florida passed a technology grant for schools in the early 90s, so apple set up a booth at some sort of event, the night before my father and his colleagues go on a bar crawl and get blackout drunk, unwittingly hiring most of a strip club to come work said booth the next day, resulting in the Apple booth being quite popular. For time reference my father was only at apple after a deployment in the gulf war and left for Ingersol Rand by '93. If there are photos of this I definitely want to see them.

Been at this job for a little over 2 years, but starting to feel like the vibes are off. I got hired on with 3 other people. 2 of them where nepo hires, the other idk how tf she got the job.

I've learned a lot of the parts of the system and can handle a lot of work on my own, but I still feel like since the other people got hired with me and do pretty mediocre work there's this shitty halo effect going on where I'm associated with them.

Also, because the team I'm on is objectively worse I feel like I have that working against me. I have to do a lot of parts of projects on my own, but it's tied to them doing their shit correctly and on time.

I love the job, chill at times, WFH, but I want to break the shackles of associated mediocrity from these retards on my team and new hire counterparts. What do?

FWIW that's most jobs. Your leadership will press you on dates when it's someone else plainly blocking, and the expectation is that you do some kind of lateral management to squeeze some value out of your retarded peers when you obviously don't have any real power to motivate them. I've seen it even in healthy environments with smart people, so I don't know if this is some kind of management meme people learn from books or what. I wish things were more... militaristic?

[microservices]

Now that the dust has settled what's the verdict on microservices? All the pros I can list are in the meta category, like job security and low expectations, endless opportunities to bikeshed meaningless minutia.
On the tech front I still fail to see how they make sense, tooling is getting better but they solve problems which are non existent when not doing pants on head microservices. Consider you need to manage 500 microservices. You can rent a run of the mill machine right now off AWS with 24TB memory and 500 CPU. That's 48GB memory and a dedicated CPU for each one of the services and you don't have to deal with network calls in s2s communication and largely disregard distributed problems people oh so love to talk about. This will only improve in the future as well. Yes, you can absolutely deploy and scale services individually without packing them in docker containers and running them on k8s wtf that is elementary.
That said, I like a comfy $$$ job so microservices all the way baby, but sometimes it is hard to pretend to be braindead

The reality is all solutions suck. Microservices are shit but monolithic shit is certainly no better. The real issue is retards who identify with a fucking architecture pattern and don't understand that which is more appropriate depends on the situation

>>101901326
>I want to break the shackles of associated mediocrity from these retards on my team
This has been my entire 5 year career.
I just have not worked at high paying companies, so I guess the medium+ and lower paying companies just get trash. Most software developers I met have been pretty trash or just plain mediocre.

Hoping to get into a high paying American company now, hopefully their high pay have atteacted some actually skilled workers.
I know these people exists, since I did an internship at one of the best European research institutes and literally everyone there were at minimum good/competent and most were smart and good workers that I would look up to.

>>101902954
I've been saying this for a while - there are A LOT of people out there who quietly have a bunch of money stacked up. If you only listen to doomerposting then you'll always be shocked that they are still buying stuff. The goal is to not assume everyone is as equally fucked as you, the goal is to win. If the system didn't work for ANYONE then it really would be replaced. It's working for people just not for you.

There are companies out there that need to handle. 100 or more requests per second to certain APIs. You’re gonna want more than 1 core for that kind of load. Not just that, but if you have a SQL database behind it, there’s an upper limit to how high you can scale that machine, and most SQL DBs can’t have more than 1 writeable replica, so this can quickly become a bottleneck. Aside from scale, there are also several practical reasons but yes, it doesn’t make sense for everything

Why tf do people push for AI to do the grunt work when they could get the AI to help build the code to run the grunt work. Idk why people blindly trust the magic box when they could build the tooling. Imagine if openai raise the cost of their models? But nah it works and the principal dev incharge is treating it as his child so it's out of my jr dev hands. At least I'm not working on it.

2 years later and it just hit me that my last employer already planned to lay me off way before the actual day. It took them 6 months to find someone but those fuckers were patient. I really should have started job hunting when they started isolating me and virtually refusing to give me any work. It was like pulling teeth to get anything out of them.

On me for not constantly looking. The only positive I can say is the guy they replaced me with they had to pay for relocation, he then went full remote a year later when they didn't want to give that to me, and now they're losing him or already lost him as of a few months ago. I know they probably wasted a good $350k on the joker, too. All because they thought he would bring in more value.

Yes, you should be worried. Some boastful pricks on here stated they did that two years ago. Tried it with my first dev job and got fired 6 months in.

You have to show initiative, Anon, otherwise you will get fired.

Getting lucky to get into dev the first time is one thing. Doing it the second time is another, and more painful process.

Have you tried reaching out to past coworkers who liked working with you? Even if you haven’t spoken to them in years it might be worth a shot asking if they can refer you, worst that happens is they ignore you or say no. And if they do that they’re worthless to you anyways so who cares?

I have learned in the last few months that having more managers just means you get more opportunities to slack off more. When 1 of the managers asks you to do something you bring up a point that will "need" to involve one of the other managers. Due to their nature they will involve several other managers, meaning they won't actually get back to you for the rest of the day. If they start complaining about deadlines you have evidence that they had no clue what you were supposed to do, therefore you couldn't possibly meet it. They will hate you and be pissy but there is absolutely nothing they can do to you because you're correct. Yeah, it isn't great for getting work done, but fuck 'em. They chose to hire a bunch of ass kissers instead of strong men to do good work.

I’ve been using only LinkedIn and most of the job posting leads you to apply on the company site. So I would say they are legit as far as actual job listing goes. But whether or not the company is really hiring is another thing…

Just got my first offer for an entry level position and am also informed that there is a drug screening. I smoke every day so I am pretty boned. No details on when I can take the test but it will most likely be two weeks from now so... is it over? Anyone have any tips?

I lost my job on November 23rd and have my first interview tomorrow at 10 AM for a related role in the software engineering industry.

Should I admit to the recruiter that I've been unemployed since then? I have a close friend who owns a software development firm, and I could potentially claim to be employed there on a contract basis (he'd be okay to give me the reference as such—we go way back). Should I claim I'm currently employed with him or admit to the large gap?

If you were to apply for another job, someone might ask you the following questions. Make it your personal goal to say yes to at least 7 of them.

Do you package anything custom for these servers?
Do you administer vSphere (or equivalent) at an intimate level?
Do you have any responsibilities related to Disaster Recovery?
Do you deal with capacity planning or load balancing?
Did you help anyone on your team deploy patches to laptops?
Did you help anyone in your org deploy applications to laptops?
Do you manage your team's development environment(s)?
Are you involved in the imaging process for these servers?
Do you provision these servers? Is that process automated? Is there a formal request process in place that you helped with?
Do you also manage any of the firewalls?
Do you manage the groups you deploy to in AD?
Do you deploy policies to these servers?
Do you patch resources in the public cloud?

They're bullshitting you because you have no leverage. The only reason they're even bothering to pretend to entertain your request is because they're cowards on an interpersonal level. You will not ever get a raise there without leverage. Leverage means an offer. And if you have an offer, frankly, you should probably just take it. The only way to have background leverage is for the world to be such that they know you have constant background offers and options to jump ship. You don't, so you can't, so actively go find a new place and jump to it. Fuck those niggerfaggots, they'll learn when they have to explain to Ramjesh how to do your job.

there's different levels to this, people who exist and take up space make more money, people that get stuff done make less, it's simply how the world works.

You can do the same op. Being willing to walk away is leverage even if you don't have an offer in hand.

Being willing to talk away is leverage if you have an offer.
If you don't have an offer, you're walking away to unemployment. Congrats.
They know he doesn't have any offers, so they will not care, so he does not have leverage, so they will say, "Sure, man," and then he can either keep his job as a rape victim or walk away and be unemployed. His employers contain awareness of his situation which is what empowers them to continue doling out abuse, and condemns him to continue suffering it.

Until he has more offers.

Also, I'm willing to bet anon's blowjobs are worse than hers.

I'm so overwhelmed with a deadline tomorrow that I cried earlier and am feeling like crying again , I was put in a position that I didn't know I wasn't going to be able to handle until it was too late, it has nothing to do with my skills I was brought to the company for and I thought I would be able to work throuhg it but was wrong

Its only been 6 months since I joined this company after leaving my other job of 8 years, I'm considering taking an enormous pay cut to go back to my previous company I'm so embarassed and upset with myself

idk what you even mean by that, but it's how it works. Not saying it's right, but it's the state of the world. VPs put together have a collective IQ of a normie.

Cry, splash your face with water, eat if you're hungry, then sit and figure out what you need to get done, and how you can do it. It will suck and you will struggle, but in the end you can collapse and rest and be proud of yourself

>>101911255
What's the task, anon? Adjusting to a new situation takes time, and can be super stressful under crunch. Tell us more about the situation, and we can work through it.

>you're walking away to unemployment
Extremely common among normgroids among all classes.
The low class just bounces from job to job and can walk anytime. The high class calls it a sabbatical or taking a break. Same shit. And just threatening does work.

I was literally ready to suck cock and get railed to get a job because it was that or the gutter and I'm an athletic twink and I got a job through pure skills and now I'm kind of disappointed.

>another job declined me
i feel like i made the wrong career choice
im never gonna fucking get into IT because nobody hires for helpdesk
i thought helpdesk was the bottom of the barrel like mcdonalds so why tf are they not hiring me????
should i lie on my resume? but i really don't want to do that

You're right. My company has consultants for the Controller, Owner/President and Upper Management.

Yep, I'm not going into unemployment. That's a death wise.
>>101911244
Nope, it's true. I see it at the company I'm at.

I'm the sole IT person, managing multiple sites and end users with multiple critical systems. If some idiot roaster doesn't have a program running, he will literally cause a fire and burn down the entire plant.

build or do stuff on your own, put that as experience and knowledge in your CV, and maybe even try selling whatever you can sell to people

Its doing CAD work (I am not in tech technically but I just hangout here because its close enough)

The job is probably "easy" to someone who knows what they are doing, but for the amount of time I was given and the organization of the project leaves me with a ton of issues and problems that are outside of my control, but someone with the proper skills would know what to do to resolve them. I don't even know how to describe the issues I have in order to google properly for solutions

I am receiving help from someone else now and I'm entirely reliant on them and I'm not sure if they are going to give me the quality that I think this thing needs to be

>>101911324
Just stick with it anon. Help desk is a cost center so it'll never have insane demand it's always just some fat retard trying to replace attrition and management gunning for jeets.

>>101911382
I did. I was really optimizing for the slut meta because I doubted my skills, had a crisis of confidence, the whole deal. But they hired me to rebuild their entire backend immediately after a virtual technical and didn't even grope me or anything during the followup onsite.
Now I'm worried I'm less cute than I thought. This is troubling.

Any of you work nights from another country? How is it?

>>101911402
What do they want you to do? Model something?

>(I am not in tech technically but I just hangout here because its close enough
The technical mindset – the hacker's spirit – is about figuring out how things work. That is sufficient.

I don't have every button in every piece of software in the world memorized, like my Grandma thinks I do. I know nothing!

I figure it out!

You gather experience, you retain knowledge, but not for mere rote memorization – to build up a model of the world, that can make predictions.

It's the same for my /o/ friends. It's the same for mekkie, aerospace, architectural – the systematizing mindset which creates structure from chaos, divining the nature of the universe.

You carry the torch of Prometheus. You see a problem, and instead of turning away, you begin to think. You drive the wheels that move the world – the species – forward.


If you figure out how things work, you belong here.


Take a moment, anon. Gather yourself. Let's fix this thing.

>>101911527
That's true. And I'm glad to find out I have desirable skills, despite being absentminded and having no certifications or degree

its a conceptual design of some stuff in a building,

I am getting help for it and its out of my hands now, if this person gives me hogshit then thats just what is going to be submit, with a lot of asterisks stating its purely conceptual and will have changes later. I don't have the time or skills to fix it by tomorrow

>>101911684
True story, I had an older lady in university literally say something like "Oh boy. you're wearing those tight pants today" I was wearing some dark navy slacks and a white dress shirt and it made me a little uncomfortable since it was in front of everyone at our group table. Twink life.

Does anyone have the infographic where a company collapses under the weight of all the managerial positions rather than the ones doing the actual work?

>>101911801
I'd love that too. Subtly print that out and frame it all around the office.

>>101911765
excellent. you just know she wanted to make you blush.

my first job was literally just being eyecandy in a lobby, it was great. I made no money but got to strut around in my dress shirt and shoes and answer phone calls cheerily and politely disarm all kinds of lecherous comments

now I'm full remote wfh with a really good salary, which I'm thankful for, but I'm a bit lonely.

i can finally mebbe afford it but i'm not sure where to move

>>101911801

Say you were doing contract gigs and tending to a sick relative or something. Just don't say you've been chilling or having a hard time finding work. Don't give them the satisfaction. They will lie to you for other stuff, don't feel guilty.

>my first job was literally just being eyecandy in a lobby, it was great. I made no money but got to strut around in my dress shirt and shoes and answer phone calls cheerily and politely disarm all kinds of lecherous comments
was kind of my first job too. We would just stand around wearing nice clothes. It was nice because you get to see all the women in nice slacks and shoes and footwear, was a footfag's dream.

>>101908702
Why would you take a gap when you have a friend willing to put you in at his company? I do that for all my friends – what else is a domain name for, really? All the homies work for me, and damn fuckin well, too, excellent reviews and five star service all day.

>>101908104
don't do it anon, customer support and helpdesk suck dick. users are horrible. members of the public even more so.

>>101911990
This might be fucked but I feel like everyone should serve a tour of duty in frontline helpdesk or customer-facing repair. It might even, eventually, suck less, if everyone got a taste, you know? All the people I know who've done service jobs are a lot nicer to service people.

>>101897676
I’m hiring for a role right now and it’d be a nice to have a woman. Every time I get one I have to do a bunch of extra vetting to make sure I don’t accidentally get one of these. It’s annoying. I don’t care how they dress or whatever but it’s fucked that it’s legally recognized.

>a relative of my manager dies
>been distraught for a few months, now acting like a dick
He used to be a cool guy. Should I switch?

>>101912018
ive never done a service customer facing support job but I'm sure it is hell. I've always been as nice as possible and patient to them since they can fuck your shit up kind of like fast food you don't want them to spit in your food.

>>101912093

>>101912093

Not his fault but you never know what breaks somebody for good or if they’ll get back to themselves.

>>101912093
depends, was the relative close? like a father/mother or even worse a son/daughter? if so give him a few months at least. otherwise yea he's being a dick.

>>101911556
>Any of you work nights from another country? How is it?
Yep. all across asia
Best way to do it is maintain consistency

The 1-2 hour difference from SEA to east asia makes a big difference. Think sleeping at 5am vs sleeping at 6 or 7am.

Waking up at 2pm is kino and you can still have a full evening social life. host, attend events whatever. with girlfriends, I mostly just cuddle them a bit then go sleep, cuddle them after work before they get up.

Some cities/towns have better 24 hour things but you can mostly just get what you need to go through the night, so not even really a necessity

I'm managing two young engineers and I can't imagine being an ass to them, I am not trying to be their friend but I'm trying to be supportive in helping them grow, am I not going to make it because Im not an ass

>>101911933
I always try to negotiate out of that but they always refuse citing whatever they decide to pull out of there ass on the spot.

>>101911933
It really is. The reason people offer it is because unlimited pto is the same as zero pto legally. Your untaken pto days are paid out when you leave, but not if it’s unlimited. You have a guaranteed amount for sickness, bereavement, paternity etc in your contract. But not if it’s unlimited.
Unlimited == 0, legally.

>>101911765
I would always get harangued in the elevators at one place to the point I started taking the stairs. I fucking hate boomers.

>>101912149
nah you're doing a good job then, the worst thing you can do for a young person is be unhelpful or be an ass, they will resent you forever and do poorly.

>>101911933
>>101912187
>Your untaken pto days are paid out when you leave, but not if it’s unlimited
Who gives a fuck? I'm not minmaxing my PTO, working every single day to bank payout for leaving like some fucking grindout RPG exploit. I'm enjoying my unlimited PTO and great work culture.

>>101912243
>>101912149
If you prove that you aren't worthy of respect, they'll grow to resent being placed under you. And respect is a fickle, shifting thing. Most people overcompensate by trying to be a hardass – this often backfires totally. As long as you're straight with them you should be fine.

>>101911321
I was always miserable that in my late teens and early 20s I was too fucked looking to be a sex worker and was on and off homeless instead

>>101912338
>Then imagine you’re too much of a coward to fire them.
This is the single most insidious issue infecting the workplace. Cowardice. All the passive aggressive backstabbing and musical chairs flows down from everyone's inability to just be what the fucking are, say what they mean, and get shit fucking done. Reprehensible.

>>101912583
Most insidious issue affecting everything. Relationships are the same. Most people won’t even break up, just become increasingly nasty until the other person bails or they find someone to leave them for.
