I have a masters in biomedical engineering with an emphasis on 3d deep learning, point cloud voxelization, Gaussian splatting, U-NETS, that kind of stuff.

-> learned, c++, python, javascript and even modular mojo.


Can't even find a decent fucking job in Phoenix AZ, where i was born and raised. Work as a analyst at a local investment bank with stupidly long hours and a 90k base salary.

Lets say i kept my skills fresh where could i go to get a job in my field?

How do I keep up with new tech? People say that I should constantly learn new things but I don't know what I should prioritize

>>102191533
Pick something to specialize in, learn as much about it as you can, and start fudging your resume a little to make it seem like you actually have more experience with it.
I'm not even sure from reading your post what your "field" even is. If you wanted to work in BME then I don't understand why you learned JS. At one point in time any given company may have looked at a BME degree and went "Ooo, I bet this guy's a quick learner", but few companies give a fuck about that any more. They want someone who will know how to do precisely their job from day 0. Even beyond cost they probably don't have anyone to ramp you up onto a particular role.

>>102190418
You sound like a fucking loser bro

>>102191604
your question is wrong to begin with. You should be learning new things, but those things don't necessarily have to be "new techs" which are fads 99% of the time.

learn a popular tool from a domain you're not familiar with
explore aspects of code you feel underdeveloped in
pick techs from the past 10 years that have proven to be long lasting. just wait for those techs to bubble out from the rest.
for example, rust. At this point it's obviously the "chosen" language of its class and it's pointless to waste your time on any of its competitors.
Another example: kubernetes

>>102191604
Mostly what other anon said. The point is that you should remain curious and proactive about checking out things you bump into. You never want to think "Yup, I've learned all I'll ever need", coast on it for years, and then when your role gets erased in your mid-30s you start panicking because it's too late for you to switch to something else. If that happens you want to already have some idea of what's out there, have some familiarity with with some of it, etc. Nothing lasts. If you ever feel like you've reached a state of knowledge stability that will last forever then you are wrong.

what makes you feel this is a LARP? Genuine question

I went to an elite school and my salary/career is actually underperforming (overperforming vs my public school hometown peers though, surely). For reference, a friend of mine from freshman year just finished harvard biz school and became COO of his old company.

A guy I played volleyball with was in the private equity firm that flipped the company I worked at pre-covid for +$1 billion profit.

Most of the CS people I graduated with are in FAGMAN/select bay area companies or even stuff like Modular AI. I chill at tier 2-3 companies.

net worth is also quite a bit from ethereum last hype cycle.

>>102194067
>go read the slatestarcodex archives or something

>>102194105
>How was Chicago when you were there and is it worth living there as someone that's 31?
I haven't lived there in over 8 years at this point and my school was in its own neighborhood on the south side, surrounded by black neighborhoods. we had a lot of private police. That said, I did have one of my favorite summers there working in river north, even if i commuted back to a shared apartment. These days I prefer places without as harsh a winter but I miss some restaurants and the giga smart community of uchicago (but not the upper class nature of it; i didn't fit that)

In a weird funk. Working for fagman for 3 years now with little to show for it in terms of accomplishments, just lots of small shit due to the complexity of the problem domain. Finally at a point where I’m able to start solving ambiguous problems that require extensive design and requirements gathering, so I’ll have something appropriate for my level (SE2 with almost too many yoe to not be SE3) to put on my resume in a few months, but at the end of the day I’m working on an important but not overwhelmingly sexy domain. My problem is I don’t see a path to breaking out into something new, bigger and better from here, because my work is so backend/dist systems/hardware focused, all rather generic stuff that I don’t know how to leverage to find exciting opportunities. Anyone relate or tips

I got >quick called by my pajeet REA and wasted a day off expecting them to show up because they can't into email
they finally decided to actually email me with a new day (tomorrow) and I gave them a different day that hasn't been acknowledged because they still can't fucking into email

>My problem is I don’t see a path to breaking out into something new, bigger and better from here, because my work is so backend/dist systems/hardware focused
What exactly would be bigger and better than backend? You wanna write nodejs all day instead?

>>102194367
>What exactly would be bigger and better than backend?
a backend that actually solves or does an interesting thing in the real world.

"backend" isn't a thing. It's a category of thing and >>102194171 probably works on some piece of a piece of a piece that he never gets to feel like he has a work product. he also gets ZERO cools stories that makes sense to anyone that isn't a fellow autist trapped in the same shit pile

meanwhile a "product manager" who doesn't know shit actually has an end to end human parsable story about what "they" have built

this is a huge negative of the software industry at large

Germany has high salaries compared to rest of the Europe but the salaries are still way less than in US.
Though, I don't know if it is really cheaper to get german programmer compared to american one because of the taxes, pensions and shit.

>>102196933
The salaries make a lot more sense once you see their work hours, vacation times, not having to pay out the ass for health insurance, etc. Their income taxes aren't much worse than ours once you account for federal and state taxes (depends on state obviously, but most high paying software dev jobs are in shit states like Cali), though they do pay 20% on everything they buy via value added tax.

Software devs in Europe are still grossly underpaid though.

>>102197133
Well enough. The older ones have been around long enough they've picked it up and I assume more recently the schools in every country teach it. And even the ones who can't really speak English can still write it decently in design docs and such. I don't know if they take technical writing classes for English specifically, or if everyone just abuses translators nowadays (though this was pre-LLM)

>>102197094
that seems really bad

>>102197090
Not him, but I've worked with a good few euros, they were all pretty competent.

The biggest difference was in how they took their vacation time. They all probably took the same amount of time off, but the Germans/Nordics always gave you plenty of notice and had someone else you could get in touch with when they weren't in.

The Spanish and Italians would just disappear one day, no notice and no out of office reply set up. And they all seemed to take vacation at the same time, so it was hard to get in touch with anyone else too.

I don't know, my gut feeling says you could work with oil technology (or rather, their geological surveys), what you can do seems like the right set of skills to work through measurement data and find pockets of resources hidden under the earth.
And then just hit up these companies, regardless if they have an opening or not, why not?

>How do I keep up with new tech?
What tools or tech do you currently use? Do you know them at a decent or good level?
What languages do you currently use? Can you explain in detail how the language works? How does the runtime execute the code, and how does that impact the way you write and use your program? For example Node, it is single threaded (mostly), so how should that impact your code? Pro-tip, don't block the main thread!

You probably use a database, can you tell me which indexes you should use given a table, it's columns and usage pattern? How do you avoid locks and if you can't avoid them, what do you do to minimize the impact of these locks on your system?

My advice is to check Hackernews from time to time. Read some of the posts that are about interesting technology that are either new or old, but speaks to you. I try to read most posts that are about Postgres.
Also read the official documentation for the languages and tools you use. Are you a Node. js developer then read the Node docs.
Are you a Java developer, then deeply understand how the JVM works and read the docs!

You might get it sooner then you think with the rates dropping. Its once November is over it will be WAY worse since its an election year. But normally yeah Q4 sucks.

Your learning schedule sounds fine. If anything the pixel art qualifies as a scheduled break. I used that for a 3 hour time period during the week to watch 12 episodes of an anime, watch a movie or two, or play games. Then I would go back to doing my masters degree during the weekend since I was already doing 5x 12's. It must be scheduled. Only time you would move that schedule around is if your in the zone on your work. Pomodoro is similar but its something you would have to adjust to your natural ability to focus. I can focus for 4 hours straight and be completely burned out so my scheduled break would be between that 4 hour burn out to facilitate more work then I would normally do in a day.

>I (American) love working with Germans. They're generally competent
As an Europoor working in Asia, I can say I love working with Americans.

On the other hand, doing any kind of business with Asian companies is hell, especially if they are a "big" or bigger than your company. They are not outright disrespectful, but just waste your time and expect you to fix all their internal problems. Problems with inter department communication, let's just dump the issue on the company we buy some service from. Need to get some information, good luck, no one there cares and expect you to do their job for them.
They always show up super late to the scheduled meetings, usually just ignore the meeting until we send a follow up email and get a weak excuse and instead we have to have a meeting right now, are always unprepared and have no clue what is going on. Super disrespectful of others time.
Need special permission to connect to our API? We don't care figure it out yourself.

The people who work for American companies in the US always come prepared to the meeting, respect your time and try to identify and fix the issues that are preventing progress ASAP.

Then again, I don't think I actually talked to a "real" American, it was always some foreigner, usually Latino, European or Indian who had emigrated to USA.

Do many techbros actually make 6 figures out of college, or is that a meme?

>>102200712

>>102200712
six figs is like 48th percentile down under, it won't be much longer until it is for you too

>>102200712
It depends on what you mean by techbro. Are you talking about someone who has been coding every day since they were ten, graduated at the top of their class, and has all kinds of cool projects they can point to? Or are you talking about an awkward dork with no network of contacts, who barely understands tech outside of what little they learned in school, and would rather be watching anime or playing video games? Because no, the latter isn't making close to six figures in their first real job.

What language do you guys use for leetcode interivews? When I conduct interviews I notice most applicants using Java or C++ fail because they spend way too much time writing boilerplate and time out. The applicants that pass usually use Javascript. I personally use Javascript as well but my friends tell me it's gonna screw me over if I run into a heap problem and I should use python instead, but I dont use python for work and the last time I used it was in CS class

Work as little as possible for your job as you can (if you are salaried). The less time you spend doing your paid work the higher (in concept) your hourly wage becomes.

Spend as much time as you want on your personal projects. Those are yours. The stuff you build at work isn't yours, it's your company's. Your personal projects are your own. Dump your soul into them. Will something come of it? Maybe, maybe not. But if it does, it will be yours. And if it doesn't, it still made you happy.

This is actually a huge pain even as a vendor in the US. There's a (selection?) bias for companies which can't handle X internally to then surface those same issues to a vendor who have even less of a chance of solving them. Like if project X is only really failing because teams Y and Z have no incentive to work together, then even if a vendor are world-class experts for project X, the work will inevitably devolve into team Y saying "you have to convince team Z of this". And of course the vendor has even less leverage than team Y ever did

Software architecture is like a painting. You have to layer everything up and follow patterns and continuously tweak everything following the rules making something that slowly approaches correctness over a very long time...unless you're a good painter, then you can just look at a blank canvas and know where every color goes and put the color in the spot the first time, but those people are rare and not worth finding.

>>102205918
>The really smart/career focused ones all move to Cali or NYC immediately or a few years after graduating
sounds about right. that's where pretty much everyone went. I was born in Ohio and used to dream of Cali, but that was when it was priced at pretty much the same level as the rest of USA lol. Those places are a little rich for me now. Even if I've accumulated just above 7 figures, NYC seems best fit for someone received a few grand a month from parents or on some unique deal.
>Also I'm asian myself so I don't have the same super-effectiveness on asian women you guys have
I tough it out even as a 5'7" slightly turkish looking guy.
no blonde hair, blue/green eyes, or tall height so I don't get fetishized as much as you'd think, but supply is high enough in Asia that it can work out.

If you werent an old money rich SAE guy with legacy connections you're still gonna be stuck in the same social circle as the SJWs unfortunately. Northwestern was very segregated. And by rich I mean like owns horses in the Kentucky Derby rich.

Honestly it seems like elite colleges not only let in the most annoying of SJW women but they specifically select for them. Even now I have an easier time hooking up on date one with an 8/10 from a no-name college than I do getting a second date with an annoying SJW 4/10 from an Ivy league. Maybe I would have had more fun at UIUC

I'm one of those asians that uh does not want to date thai/philipina/malay women. You can guess what type of asian I am from that.
>Should I just date a vidya addict.....
If you don't mind her spending hours a day on a game of League screaming at the top of her lungs at her teammates for feeding. I can't imagine wanting to date one unless you play the same vidya yourself

I got ghosted by a friend of 20 years, we both struggled to find jobs, lot of bad shit happened in our respective lives.

Things turned around for me after going back to uni for a CS degree and finding a job, he found one too after a while in banking. He got fired and just stopped talking to me entirely, our last conversation in december was perfectly normal. I keep having dreams of us talking again.

>>102206006
>tfw I'm a member of a dysfunctional team
I know we aren't the best team or anything but having it laid out like this really made me realize how bad it is. Something interesting Ive noticed is that, being on a relatively self-organized and effective team before, it felt good to practice the things on the left. However now that I'm in the shit it's more comfortable to roll in it than to try to change everything simply because more work is coming in than we can ever finish and committing to deadlines and outcomes just "doesn't work" and makes us look bad because higher priority stuff keeps rolling in.

Like jeets but instead of lying they go on long winded excuses about some sick family member that has caused them to take 3 months to add an option to a drop down and forget what useEffect is. Tons of American style fake niceness too but in shitty Spanglish.

The latina rage is real and fucking scary. Like, she will throw shit with laser accuracy right at your head and it's not a ball or something super light, she's aiming to cause real bodily injury with a monitor or any heavy object within arm's reach. If you can actually find one that doesn't have that issue then count yourself lucky. I truly can't tolerate that behavior so I don't understand white guys that dream of being with a latina for that nonsense.

>>102206226

part and parcel of having /outsourced/ team members

>>102206192
Assuming you're not done with them, just keep trying. As a habitual recluse/hermit/whatever, I occasionally do this to people. It's some form of mental illness, I'd guess. I've never done it out of actually disliking someone. Those people I'm pretty forthcoming about the fact that I'm disconnecting from them.

so freaking glad my team of 8 is 100% American. Hell, we're even 7/8 white and 0 jeets. If I'm pulling 250k remote as a level 2 engineer with this setup, I hang on to it ya boys?
Alternatively, what's worth learning these days.....I'm considering spinning up a "passport bro"/foreign dating app project. user to user chat seems to be the toughest component. considering phoenix-elixir because of all the abstractions around channels/messaging. Any tips?

anyone who is not born in America and has not lived here their entire lives is impossible to work with

>>102206192
It might not be you. People can find it hurtful to be around those who are visibly doing better than they are.
Just keep reaching out. Hopefully they realize you value them and the friendship enough to stay in contact.

My ex used to stay up late doing that shit, but with mythic raiding in WoW. Then after staying up all night she'd get mad at me for my early alarm (which was so I could wake up for fucking work). I guess the vidya wasn't precisely the issue, but that shit was not worth in any event

>>102206611
I've heard that americans make great slaves as long as there is money on the table

>>102206668
thats more of a desperate third worlder thing. people on visas are willing to tolerate a lot more than americans because they have to stick with their current employer to stay in the country. all third-worlders are good for is slave labor and bringing down wages

Anyone working for fagman have interview advice?

>>102206663
the deep vidya addicts value vidya over all. it sort of becomes all you want to do and what you primarily look forward to doing

sounded tough to live with from the partner perspective.

>>102203560
try the electricians union. They have something like a 2-3 year program for comms guys, they do shit like run cable and setup ip cameras and local networks. It seems like good entry level shit and it pays pretty damn well, $30+ starting offers on indeed (union rates may vary)

I'm barely getting 100k and dealing with this shit. Granted, I'm also barely working at this point and it's easy to hide in the retards. If I was making 250k I could retire in ten years. Also elixir in general is great, I highly recommend it. I'm trying to switch to elixir in the next year ideally.

I got my first software engineering job back in 2022 because I had a portfolio my boss liked. Got laid off 3 months ago after working for him for approximately 1.5 years.

Applied to 100+ jobs since and only got 2 fucking phone screens, no advancement to technical round.

The market sucks ass. I'm gonna post on /g/ in a week or two asking anyone if they wanna do a collaboration project in golang. The idea is to build something from the ground up that has users and makes money by working with people around the world. Even if it doesn't make a huge amount money, being able to say you led a team to build a polished piece of software looks REALLY good on a resume and will probably put you at top 20% of all engineers in the tech market.

>>102207375
lol in 2022 when I got my current/good job I applied to 100+ jobs and also only got like 3-4 phone screens, only 2 were actually viable jobs and I got the last one.
you just gotta apply to more 100 isn't shit

>>102207375

I would be interested

mexico is not in south america, you retard

>>102207480

>>102207013
Just went through the same thing a couple days back - stings a bit but to be fair I didn’t study or prep and just raw dogged it.

Like you, I’m already employed so I’m not festering on it but want something better than what I have now - at least we can try again in six months. WAGMI

>>102207495

I got mine with less than 60 lazy applications in 2024. Probably got lucky but I also was overqualified.

>>102207589
it was my second and first "real" job first one was at a weird start up. I had 2+ yoe but 0 education and a decent portfolio project. Haven't tried applying now curious what it would be like since now I'm at like 4.5+ yoe and much more experience w/ normal jobs. will probably start applying q1.
My job just laid of certain people but is still hiring senior engineers so always some demand even if certain roles are being reduced.

>>102207480
What's funny is that I know that and used to be autistic about it (los padres de mi mama eran(?) de Nicaragua) but I really don't give a shit anymore. A spic is a spic, including me.


But sure I guess chilean developers are supposed to be good.

>>102207397
>you just gotta apply to more 100 isn't shit

I donno man. I'm a leaf. The economy is doing really shit right now, its much worse than the united states.

I don't think there are many opportunities in Canada(im in Toronto) right now for someone with my level of experience [1.5 YOE]. I've browsed linkedin and Indeed and there's barely any new jobs being posted. Its just the same damn companies re-posting the same positions over and over again lmao. I think there might only be a small handful of jobs being posted online.

As there are no junior positions, I try to only apply to mid-level roles. There just aren't that many being posted.

It's bad I'm just saying when I was doing it in the US, when it was good, I still had to apply to ~100+ to get any good interviews.
I literally just applied to everything without reading the job description lol
will hopefully be better next year.
Though I know you guys have something of an Indian problem... a good economy may not fix that.

Literally just made picrel face after I finally got this thing in my side project to work after wasting my entire labor day on it. FUCK SSL, FUCK HTTPS, FUCK AWS (especially aws securty groups), FUCK Cloudfront, and most importantly of all FUCK YOU

>>102205890
I usually don't. It's only during long weekends or maybe one weekend a month where I'm like "ehh lets get two hours of work done.". Maybe it's my fault I get all my productive stuff done in the morning even busy work and by the afternoons I cannot fucking concentrate to finish off the other backlog to save my fucking life.

Working on the holiday is great. It's so easy. Which episodes of Stargate SG-1 should I watch?

Well done

After learning 2 years of Unity I'm proud to say that I'm unemployable since every job requires HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and SQL

>Just found out that I make over $30k per month for my company
Oh well, I'm still fairly happy with my pay. It's a bit rough knowing how much of a cut they're taking though.

Do you at least take home 30% of that? When inworked consulting they got 2/3rds and I got 1/3.

Gave up looking for software engineer positions after graduation (IT degree) and settled for a solutions engineer role. Is it over for me? Cloud based roles are probably more lucrative but that is not what I am doing.
How can I get into software engineering now? I have been working for 3 years so I wont be eligible for early career or grad roles.

>>102209100
I take home 45%, which from what I can tell is a bit of a better cut than usual in my country. I'm a consultant too, and my client has even talked about offering me a permanent position. But now that I know how much they're paying for me already, I can see the negotiation space.

Probably not. I had to code in uni but for my current role I have only written scripts and debugged code for client devs. That’s all sadly. I wouldn’t mind an entry level role but I’m not hearing back on my applications.
