AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Second for on call!
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
>>102191533Pick 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.
>>102190418You sound like a fucking loser bro
>>102191604your 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 withexplore aspects of code you feel underdeveloped inpick 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
sunday is ending...
>>102191816God I wanna kms
>>102191604Mostly 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.

is $930 for a MacBook Pro M1 8-CPU / 8-GPU / 16GB Ram / 512 GB SSD a good deal or am I getting ripped off.I'll be running intensive C++
>>102191937please ignore I didn't know there was a stupid questions thread
>>102191604self-improvement is a jewish plot to make the goyim slaves work harder
another day another frozen pizza.
>>102191937It depends on exactly what you mean by "intensive", but regardless of price you're probably going to want something stronger. Even building a substantial C++ project with 16GB will be painful unless you're using Ninja and a distributed compiler cache
>>102192003i always eat the whole thing and then feel sick

>>102190970Anybody here ever use resources from codeacademy or datacamp (or similar) for learning things like python/sql for data analysis? Not looking for a new job just trying to learn some new ways to look at and model financial data for my current job.
I am realizing that my current job is a quicksand shit job that hasn’t given me any transferable experience in 6 years of working there. How the fuck do I transition and get out of here before I sink further and drown?
>>102192770>6 yearsMan drowned at bottom of ocean wonders if he should start swimming to survive shipwreck
>>102192786Pretty much yeah. The best time was probably 5 years ago. The next best time is now.
>>102192770just start learning and make up some bs about your current job. do you have people that can act as references that can help you lie, omit or aggrandize your experience?
>>102192770for every project you've ever worked on, say you lead the entire process
Sometimes, I feel like I'm blacklisted by all recruiters and companies....

10 years experience 32 year old SRE here.worth a little over $1M; currently make 250k TC from thailandI've got a BS in computer science (from university of chicago)considering a switch into medicine for some increased meaning in life. Anyone ever consider this? My undergrad GPA is 3.02 and I'm white tho lmaoI'm also openminded to hearing about esoteric masters programs that may be interesting. I'm generally thinking this might be my last eng rodeo
>>102194050>medicinego read the slatestarcodex archives or something
>>102194050Nice LARP, I enjoyed it
>>102193690When you put it that way it doesn’t sound like such a long time
>>102194050How was Chicago when you were there and is it worth living there as someone that's 31?
>>102194071>Nice LARP, I enjoyed itwhat makes you feel this is a LARP? Genuine questionI 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 somethingnever heard of this. I'll check it out>>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 emailthey 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 emailnever gone to small claims for trespassing, this'll be fun
>>102194171>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 focusedWhat 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 pilemeanwhile 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
So it's Monday morning again. How do you do anons?I'm kind of enjoying my job, but I miss being part of online communities. Having people to talk without a business need was fun.
>>102194517I'm trying to work out how to hand a software project over to a non-software engineerIt's not going to be pretty
Am I retarded for working on work projects in my spare time? I am doing it>for freeBut I enjoy trying to pay off some technical debt for the projects I am on. I feel like a damn wagie fool sometimes though.
>>102194153>not the upper class nature of itFuck me sideways. These are the very group of people I just don't get along with. During my time in uni I met many of them and they sniffed the poverty on me and actively refused to be friendly. Something about me talking to them like an equal. It was really weird.
just got a jury summons brosi dont wanna go
>>102194748Go but say you moved out of jurisdiction, they won't ask to verify like piece of mail from new address or ID or anything, just tell you to leave
>>102194692You're only retarded if you expect something out of it. Think about it like charity work: if the act alone brings you joy, great; if you think that you're going to be explicitly rewarded for it, bad.
>>102194795>if you think that you're going to be explicitly rewarded for it, badAs with any kind of overachieving, the reward will be more work.
>>102192003what brand?
>>102194696>ck me sideways. These are the very group of people I just don't get along with. During my time in uni I met many of them and they sniffed the poverty on meya they're going to sniff it out quickly. they pretty much all get educated in HS (and HS can be like $40-50k/yr for them). college is for a touch up in class + networking many had jackets worth half my $2-3k net worth at the time
>>102194050>>102194153Assuming not a meme, I've considered switching from SWE to SRE purely for the remote/work from whereever ability. I might be wrong but I feel like if you're willing to go on call and be a SRE then you can get companies to be more lenient to remote positions.
>>102194748most people dont answer jury summons. i have gotten summoned for that shit twice. the first time i was eligible for it, i got selected for the jury and had to waste a week at a trial. getting to be on the actual jury will show you how much of an absolute bureaucratic shitshow the court system is. dont show up! they dont have a way to verify whether or not you actually received the mail. those fuckers only pay you $25 a day for showing up
What happened to small teams of devs making a passion project like id software?
>>102195587They still exist. That's one of the values of networking. Those teams are forming from people who already know each other. They're not hiring people off of LinkedIn and such.
keep getting rejected from everything for not having previous professional experience. how tf do i get previous professional experience when this seems to be a requirement everywhere
>currently don't have any project>just shitpostingoh fuck what do I tell them if they ask what I have been doing?
>>102196476Make up busywork. Mention the phrase "Lambda Calculus".
>>102191930is that what you call it?
my indian boss is complaining to me about some toilet needing a key in the company and you need to ask the HR to open the door for 30 mins alreadywhat did i do to deserve thishe keeps repeating saying "fucking you" and "basterd"
I'm a consultant working on a humongous refactor story and everyone sounds bored when I talk about my progress in the daily. It's taken me 3 sprints and I'm almost ready, why do these faggots assume I should be able to do a huge refactor on their stupidly complex 1.5m line software quickly and at ease? literally noone was going to pick this story, bunch of wussies.Am I just going schizo imagining this?
>>102196763Why is HR locking the bathrooms?
>>102196790just 1 bathroom outside the company building unit, not the bathroom inside
is Germany the halfway point between hiring Americans and hiring indians?
another day in paradise (sprint planning)
>>102196763He's just making up a cover story so he can resume shitting on the street.
>>102196833If anything, Americans are the halfway point between Indians and Germans.
>>102196833Germany 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.
>>102196933The 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.
One of my coworkers threw a fit during a meeting because my boss is letting me go while another guy he hates is staying, it won't change anything but it warmed my heart.
>>102196788Shorten your update. Make that shit snappy. What you did since last update, what you'll do before next update, and blockers (if any). People can ask for more details but generally no one's trying to hear all that yapping.
>>102196951I (American) love working with Germans. They're generally competent but still get mad as fuck about the comp difference. You can joke about them only producing 1/3 of the quality you do and even if they know you're baiting they'll still get mad
>>102197041Have you ever worked with other Europeans? Tell us about them.
Britbros, what does your salary look like?I'm on £43k, 7YoE and living in the north. How badly am I being ripped off?
>>102197090Mostly Russians, Iranians, and Israelis. The ones that make it to the US are the real deal. The ones who didn't and couldn't relocate have been trash. Turks have been all-around dumpsters.
>>102197112Do they all speak English well?
>>102197133Well 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)
>>102197094that seems really bad
>>102197090Not 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.
>>102197004I'm too burned out to make it snappy and tidy but I'll try, thanks anon.
>"anon i know you're getting laid off at the end of the month but don't let this demotivate you at work"I was told this.
>>102197265"You're right, I'll work until my last minute out of respect for my teammates"Then proceed to do nothing
>>102197265I would just do the bare minimum in such case. Oh wait I am doing the bare minimum already! No harm no foul.
>I joined a company on the 22nd of July>I've been given zero work>It's driving me insaneLads help I'm going skitzo sitting in the office doing fuck all
>>102197094I was earning 37k in Belfast after 2 years, now in London with 5 years and I'm on 110k.
>>102197331Have you asked for work
>>102197357Yes lmao, I've asked for work and they said we will give you something soon
>>102197378Guess this is it. They've started to suck out the market again so that the competitors don't get more talented workers.WE MADE IT GUYS! We've waited it all out.
>>102197301>>102197303Definitely won't do anything anymore, I'm too depressed and angry anyway. My bosses didn't even have the guts to tell me I was getting laid off, I had to learn this from a teammate.
>>102192183That's May the 1st.
>>102197403I was hoping to use this as experience to grow my skills.
>currently arguing with my coworker about scope creepHappy Monday fellas
>>102197506This is my favorite thing in the world. You can just zone out and as soon as anybody *other than the person who will be the implementer* says "we can just" you can go "Scope creep!" like a drinking game

>>102191533>where could i go to get a job in my field?Industry or location?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?Good luck, hope you find something more satisfying!
>>102198499>geological surveys*Or windtunnel shit. Anything with simulation. Don't constrain yourself by the field you studied, rather, see what skills you have gained through that, which can be useful in all/other fields.

>>102191604>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!
>>102197172>The Spanish and Italians would just disappear one day, no notice and no out of office reply set upI bet they didn't show up on their PTOs too. How irresponsible!
quick call, sir?
I have 2 weeks to prepare for a senior technical interview at a big techbe honest anons do I even have a chance to make it? I'm cramming like a motherfucker and did 20 leetcodes yesterday and plan to keep this pace but I only have ~100 done as of nowis it OVER?
>>102199008yes it's over, do something else
>>102197172Italian here and can confirm. I will take the next 2 weeks off and I won't alert anyone in my team, just set slack to "on vacation"Suck my med cock

How do i ask my mom that i want keychron k15 pro despite being jobless and graduated a year late.
>>102199022>>102199127I should have been grinding for months beforehandits overtime to ack
>>102199186Buy it yourself you embarrassment
>>102199190Generally 4 hours a day is the mental max. Hope you have been digging in deep on what your actually learning instead of regurgitating crap on the screen. Remember this a profession not a trade. If your not learning something daily even if its not related then you will be behind. Be the you that believes in yourself.
>>102199242>If your not learning something daily even if its not relatedWhat happens if i learn to make pixel art on the evening
>>102199230How.
>>102199295Keeps the brain juices flowing. With anything tech related there is always some kind of carry over. Being a dead beat that just sits on the couch will come back to bite you in the ass later. However just be sure to sharpen your skills at work whenever a challenge comes your way.
WHAT THE FUCK MOM I NEED IT TO PROGRAM IN SCHOOL. RUNNING EMACS IS IMPOSSILBE WITH MY CURRENT COMPUTER AND YOU WOULDNT UNDERSTAND. REEEEEE GIVE ME TENDIES REEEEE
>>102199242yeah I was studying just not leetcode stufffeeling like a dunce now
>>102199328Nta but my schedule is this after i was done finishing the remaining paperwork for my graduationMorning: 2 hour C# leetcode13-17: work on a .NETproject, learn selenium and playwright20- 21: learn pixel art and relaxI know i won't be able to get a job in Q4 so I'm gonna apply like hell on January
>>102199381You 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 might be wrong but I feel like if you're willing to go on call and be a SRE then you can get companies to be more lenient to remote positions.>>>I've seen several cases where SWE was onsite, but don't think it's for the on-call thing. there's just simply less of us overall + we have a more remote culture in generalWhen the market was tight in 2022, SWEs were hard to hire; SREs were unicorns. that's a quote from a recruiter
>>102195587>What happened to small teams of devs making a passion project like id software?it was probably easier when renting your own place was $500-700/month. people are tryna survive now + more distracted so there is less will to create any great art or project of any kind>>102198788>132k secured right out of my shit college LEGGOcongrats man.I'm at 250 now, but started at 60k (albeit in a 15% max income tax country).

>>102197041>I (American) love working with Germans. They're generally competentAs 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?
>>1022007126 figures is not a lot of money anymore anon
>>102200735It depends on where you live and your financial situation. I don't make 6 figures and am doing alright.
>>102200917*prints 4 trillion dollars*doing alright now?*prints another 4 trillion dollars*how about now? huh? huh? huh?*prints 17 trillion dollars*hahahaha fuck you
>>102199449I only got 2.94 gpa sadly but i do have a 12 months of internship exeprience as a mobile tester lmao, i supported during UAT session and what not. In here anyone who doesn't have at least 3.00 gpa will be on the bottom list of a recruiter deskI still watch movies and play games, but i save those for weekends. Good luck.
>>102200712six figs is like 48th percentile down under, it won't be much longer until it is for you too
>>102200712It 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.

>>102203046bong salary for you. tbf I'll be on like 50-60 in my current role soon (and it's 100% remote), but it was either that or get a job with an inflated London wage where I pay more tax and pay way more rent + have to commute. OP is getting mugged though lol.
>>102199008They will probably grill more on system design than leetcode questions so don’t neglect that.
after all my hours of studying and certifications, i can't find a job that will take me as zero work experience entry level and i applied to everything in my statenow>no i am not a programmer or coding etc like everyone in this threadi learned ITi don't even know what other career path i can go learn that will guarantee me a jobjust wanted to vent.
>>102203560Was your handshake firm enough?
>>102203560>certifications>i learned ITNo degree and no experience is a death sentence my guy
I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK
>>102203765you have to, ivan
just had a long weekend holiday. walked over 100k steps over 3 days. why the fuck did i do this to myself? next holiday i am just going to go stay in a hotel room somewhere in my city and enjoy spa + sleep
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
>have to train an old friend from a couple years agoWhat am I in for?
>>102197403This but unironically. Facebook just announced a massive hiring wave and all the other tech companies are following. It's funny that everyone shits on zucc and worships g*ogle but facebook has always been kinda good about job stuff whereas google was always scummy as fuck
>>102199008This >>102203531If they ask you how would you literally make youtube, you gotta be able to tell them everything about load balancers, read vs write optimization, and all the other boring crap that literally nobody would care about except big tech
Training two new guys, how should I fuck with them?
>>102203945>i conduct interviews>i don't know how to use python, what do?the state of this fucking joke of an industry
>>102200712>>102201132I really dont understand how the term "techbro" became a thing. Did a bunch of normie journo women really somehow convince the world that unwashed tech neckbeards were somehow evil dudebros just to demonize us?
>>102204033what the fuck are you talking about
>>102204008We use node and reactAnyone who knows python works at a company that pays more than mine
>Job uses a framework I'm a familiar with>Not sure what to do because I'm not sure what language they are using to write code with it.>Each team has a different stack and I have no idea what team I'm on>Each team is using a different languageDo I just grind during my first month once I figure it out?
>>102204043I just dont understand why people refer to us as techbros. How are we bros? What dudebro-like quality do we posess? Is it just the idea that there is somehow a way for neckbeards like us to make money makes normie women seethe so hard that they have to demonize us? It's like when they blame dateless incels for chad pump and dumping them and lump all men in the same category
>thinking about doing stuff this weekend for work>whole weekend passes by>getting fucking instant paranoia that I should probably login and do the stuff I wanted to do>brain keeps saying to chill out and fuck it don't do it over your breakdo I have adhd or something? I constantly struggle between "fuck man give it a rest, days off are for days off, you'll burn out" to "OH FUCK I WANT TO FINISH ALL MY WORK SO I CAN START THE WEEK OUT FRESH I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF TO DO AND I DONT HAVE THE ENERGY OR TIME TO CRAM THESE STUFF DURING ACTUAL WORK HOURS"
>>102194050>considering a switch into medicine for some increased meaning in life.Tech workers considering switching careers always cracks me up. Have you been to a hospital before? It's more soulless than work in tech.
>>102204125>working during the weekendyou have faggotry
>>102204126>>102194050I've hooked up with a few medthots recently and they would tell me stories about how they had to interact with patients who smelled horrible or excise necrotic flesh and pus from morbidly obese diabetics and yeah that is not for me I will continue working at home thanks. One thing I do envy about the medical profession (aside from the respect they get) is that in a survival situation even a lowly nurse would be infinitely more useful than me
>>102204133it's not like im being forced to but there's a lot of stuff on the backlog i want to tackle and I can't seem to find time or really energy to finish it during working hours.
>>102194153I'm probably the one guy here who will believe this is not a larp because I went to Northwestern and am also making similar numbers at my tier 2 tech company. One thing I noticed about Uchicago is that while they were very rich and smart a large population especially of the girls there were annoyingly woke. Northwestern had more of the old money "larping as east coast wasps" vibe>>102194105Depends on what you want. Dating scene sucks if you're not attracted to latinas or chunky midwestern white women from wisconsin/michigan
>>102197419No, that's May Day. Today is Labor Day.
>>102194692Work 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.
>>102203945Use what you're most comfortable with. I use C++ because it's what I know the best. When I'm the one interviewer and I get candidates who obviously do not know the language and effectively write pseudocode and go "Hehe, sorry, ain't used it in a couple years" - I'm knocking your ass down. A big part of this interview is me evaluating if you can write code, dummy. People even pull this for shit like Python! If you're writing pseudo-Python you may as well just be writing fucking English
>>102196476You're not shitposting, you are "underground networking." You are "stealth adapting" or "stealth learning" when you read a random /g/ thread. And everytime you tell a tard to kys you are "creating a postive difference in the discourse."
>>102196951>they do pay 20% on everything they buy via value added taxThat's so dystopian. Is the surveillance state in yuroland so powerful that they can't just.... I don't know..... exchange cash for goods and services without the government knowing?>>102197041It's funny when you realize the average cuck constantly spamming about how america bad because no healthcare or no free college or whatever is just a seething yuro trying to cope. I for one, would rather maximize my salary as much as possible so I can have even a slim chance of retiring to live in peace somewhere away from the rat race, than to resign myself to my fate and live in a somewhat comfortable "high speed rails and free healthcare" country to ensure I continue wørking, but never be able to rise above my station no matter how hard I wõrk

I have a job in architecture. You'd think architects would have vast knowledge and expertise. Nope. Most days we spend talking in teams about diagrams, flow charts and future plans in 10-20 years. We once had discussion where we all had to (literally) come up with tech buzzwords to sell to business.One person said something along the lines - "distributed chatgpt driven microservices". I'm not even joking.
>>102204599And then he explains when questioned. What kind of nightmare headspace do you live in where you get PIP'd because you got asked a question
>task I work on seemed like a waste of time>try to argue this>end up doing it anyway>it becomes more and more annoying to implement and was clearly not worth it>my name will be associated with it in the repo whenever someone will come back to it and wonder why the fuck it was implemented in the first place and think I'm a garbage dev for adding it
>>102204637>push back on ridiculous useless taskquestioning authority? that's a PIP for sure>do ridiculous useless taskimplementing bad software? seems like you need to be on a PIP
>>102204559>That's so dystopian. Is the surveillance state in yuroland so powerful that they can't just.... I don't know..... exchange cash for goods and services without the government knowing?Anon, have you ever heard of sales tax in the US?
>>102204626as a SWE who used to be vastly fearful of architecture this enrages me
>>102204219>chunky midwestern white women from wisconsin/michiganIs it concerning that I want exactly this more and more as I get older
>>102204675Have you heard of restaurants with cash discounts?
>>102200702>Need to get some information, good luck>expect you to do their job for them.>usually just ignore the meeting until we send a follow>always unprepared and have no clue what is going on>Super disrespectful of others time.>We don't care figure it out yourself.Nah, fuck that shit. I'm a Merican and I've straight up told stakeholders I will just straight up not push your asks to production if you don't follow the approval and testing the way we said. Dealing with that would probably make me snap.
>>102197301based
>>102204636One where all the PIPing is done by 50 year old humanities majoring women who have no fucking clue what a computer even is. So when I explain what shit I'm trying to fix their eyes just glaze over and think I'm bullshitting, because code refactoring and platform resiliency doesn't come with a brand new shiny interface they can parade around.
>>102198978Hello, good morning.>no follow up whatsoever
>>102204704>Is it concerning that I want exactly this more and more as I get olderNo, anon. The older I get the more highly I value comfort and lack of problems. That archetype of woman represents that to me.
>submit my notice last week>we had layoffs todayweew
>>102200702>Problems with inter department communication, let's just dump the issue on the company we buy some service fromThis 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
>>102204895i feel bad about this when i deal with suppliers as a mech eng but if the purchasing department is dragging their feet have literally no ability to coordinate or expedite
>>102203069You're right, you won't get compensated. But that doesn't mean your boss can't feel bad about slave driving you.
>>102204875>value comfort and lack of problemsI get what you're saying, but to me that kind of woman also represents "will want 10 kids", which I associate with problems
>>102204943nigga you're never getting any woman NOR any kids, focus on getting a fucking job
>>102203820>Has vacation time>needs to use it for a vacation>can't waste any time on vacation>vacation becomes more work than work itself>need vacation for vacationSuch is life.
>>102204887Damn, you could have gotten severance
>>102204939that's my point though I have already been compensated in the past
i love my manager so much it's unreal
>>102205002Then you are getting ahead. That's pretty based.
>>102205024Yeah? You gonna give him a big ole smooch?
>>102205024Same he lets me work any hours I want as long as I get my work done. Honestly the only reason I wouldnt wanna get laid off. The main thing making me want to get laid off is 6 months severance
Good morning sarsAre you ready for standup tomorrow? What are you working on? Any blockers?

>>102205055do SWEs actually work on one thing at a time? i have like 17 different things running in parallel and work on whatever catches my fancy that day. it makes scrums completely pointless.
>>102203531>>102204004won't even make it to the system design interview if I don't pass the LCI did another 10 problems today but got stuck on a medium for too long, I'm hoping I can clear 20 in the next 6h
>>102205124>i have like 17 different things running in paralleladhd
>>102205148yes but it's also my job. i'll hit a point on something until it starts to piss me off or i need to send someone an email and ask them for approval or to tell me what they want, then on to the next thing.
>>102205124sounds like absolute hell
>>102205124Depends on level. You generally don't give newbies multiple plates to spin. Can also depend on area. If you work in an area that requires a lot of oversight from legal or privacy counsels then you keep a ton of things spinning at once because they will just get blocked for weeks at a time.
>manager is remote all year long>but we have to go to the officeis this a normal thing that commonly happens?
>>102205176>untilwhere*
>>102204704>>102204875You do know chunky translates to "has a wider waist than you and if the same height probably weighs more than you" and they only get chunkier with age, right anon?
>>102204637Just add additional details to the commit saying that X asked you to implement Y.
>>102205212It's fine... I'll accept what I'm becoming
>>102205117I have no idea what the latinas are like in the south or the west or east coast, but chicago latinos and latinas actually are pretty soulful. Like a lot of them unironically still dress emo or goth or eat at the 50s diners since they now occupy the formerly italian neighborhoods. I just dont want to date a latina cause I dont want a big family and also I dont want my relatives making jokes at family events
>>102205124No that's not normalI only have like 2 or 3, maybe 4 stories a sprint. But I also work for a super chill company and work like 4 hours a day, but even at a more stressful job I can't imagine 10+ stories in a sprint.
How do I factory reset a Nokia ta1392 tablet without the password? I've tried power button and volume down but all that does is say "fastboot mode" and go nowhere. Volume up and power doesn't properly power up. I've got 2 of them here. Let's hope the other 8 haven't met the same "haha what if we change the password" fate.
>>102204694Software 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.

Any FPGA/ASIC engineers here? Defense or civilian? Just got a job in FPGAs and wondering if it'll be easy to transfer out to civilian because they pay so much more
>>102205238You know the whole fiery latina stereotype? Yeah, that's the shit I have seen way too much down here in the south. I can't put up with it. Also, they tend to blow up after a certain age if they're not a few gens in.
>"i'm getting laid off on the-">"IT'S SOON HOLY SHIT YOU HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER JOB RIGHT NOW"I don't need anxiety when I have other people just voicing it for me, man.
>>102205188bro, I've heard of remote managers PIPing their employees for not being in the office. It normally goes like this:"Anon, you need to come into the office.">I am in the office. You would know if you were here."Well, Anon you need to talk to your coworkers more.">I do talk to my coworkers. You would know if you were here."Well, Anon, if you wanna get up the corporate ladder more you need to network more.">I am fucking netowrking. YOU WOULD KNOW IF YOU WERE HERE!
>>102200712>>102204033>>102204043afaiu (non-american), techbro refers to the guys that get all the VC money. why people call tech workers "techbros", I dunno, but journalists are retarded
>>102204219>One thing I noticed about Uchicago is that while they were very rich and smart a large population especially of the girls there were annoyingly woke. Northwestern had more of the old money "larping as east coast wasps" vibei dated a northwestern girl one summer while interning. was kino for a bituchicago was indeed SJW as all hell. luckily, my gf was fairly down to earth malaysian gal that went to USA high school.

>>102204164>I can't seem to find time or really energy to finish it during working hours.nta but, have you tried not working on weekends? that might be the reason you are burning out and not finding energy to do shit...

I'm willing to work something balanced to keep the world turning but bieng a workhorse for people that do nothing is untenable lol
>>102205533Latinas never make it past the 3rd or 4th date with me so I guess they're still in the "let's not scare the shy nerdy asian guy off" phase and have not revealed their latina rage to me yet>>102205796Journos be jelly of the money we make>>102205825One thing I found funny was that our admins were more woke than our student population, but your student population was more woke than your admins. I would always hear of annoying student protests getting crushed by UChicago admins, meanwhile our admins literally bent the knee and submitted to the demands of a protest of like 10 people that nobody even knew happened>is there not still a small but healthy # of asian women in chicagoThe really smart/career focused ones all move to Cali or NYC immediately or a few years after graduating. The remaining ones are either lazy video game addicted underachievers, social status obsessed thots who are white in all but name, or purple haired pronoun types. Also I'm asian myself so I don't have the same super-effectiveness on asian women you guys have
>>102205918>The really smart/career focused ones all move to Cali or NYC immediately or a few years after graduatingsounds 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 haveI 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.Should I just date a vidya addict.....
my team is dysfunctional because of jeet consultants hired by my jeet boss.
>>102191687No, but you do. Go somewhere else fucking faggot. >>102190970I'm so fucking tired of south Americans.
>>102206006>jeet bossnot sure there's any going back at that point. sure they could fire him but if they were smart enough to do that perhaps they wouldn't have hired him.
>>102206006Find a non jeet/woman boss ASAP
>>102205918>One thing I found funny was that our admins were more woke than our student population, but your student population was more woke than your admins.Damn I should have applied to northwestern. UChicago was frankly brutal for me for a while, but I didn't do too many college visists (senpai didn't have much money or-more importantly-guidance) and I got starstruck by actually getting in. got in early so I didn't do too many other apps I remember visiting uchicago and just thinking 'wtf these people are weird/not a fit'
>>102206031>>102206044yeah i am actively looking but the pay on other companies are not that good.i don't live in burgerland.
my manager, who got selected amongst my coworkers, is a retard. I don't know how this guy got here but he keeps asking me retarded questions about stuff that he's supposed to know or be able to manage. like, how fucking retarded can someone be? even worse, he thinks I'm some kind of magician or something, and he keep micromanaging us while telling me that I shouldn't worry much and to relax and shit.I've been thinking of talking to him in a very direct manner... just so he understands the retarded shit he's doing>>102206030>I'm so fucking tired of south Americans.elaborate
>>102206055If 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>>102206001I'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 teamI 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.
>>102206108>elaborateLike 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.
>>102205918The 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.
>>102206226sounds like your coworkers are a bunch of lazy faggots. are you sure you aren't talking about chicanos? what do you call south americans? where are your coworkers from?
>>102206006>>102206226part and parcel of having /outsourced/ team members
>>102206192Assuming 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.
>>102206159>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.

Hell, we're even 7/8 white and 0 jeets.

Any tips?
>>102206108anyone who is not born in America and has not lived here their entire lives is impossible to work with
>>102206192It 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.
>>102206611>anyone who is not born in America and has not lived here their entire lives is impossible to work withwell adjusted, high IQ pakistani guy at my old job was very very amazing to work with
>>102206159>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 feedingMy 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
>>102206611I've heard that americans make great slaves as long as there is money on the table
>>102206668thats 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?
>>102206663the 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.
>>102203560try 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)

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.
>>102196458I 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.
>>102207375lol 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
>>102207375I would be interested
>>102206706>people on visas are willing to tolerate a lot more than americanshahaha no, not really. we are talking about south americans here. you clearly haven't met any.
>>102207374>Mexico and Columbia mostly. Almost all Mexicansmexico is not in south america, you retard
>>102207480mexico, india, and brazil are all the same race. who cares what wikipedia says.
>>102207013Just 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
>>102207495anon... by that logic, USians are the same race too (aka, mutts)
>>102207506sadly yes many US states are also in mexico
>>102206912kek and based
>>102207397I got mine with less than 60 lazy applications in 2024. Probably got lucky but I also was overqualified.
>>102207589it 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.
>>102207480What'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 shitI 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.
>>102207796time to lie on your resume nigga
>>102204397Todayborday is Labor Day*
>>102207787>(los padres de mi mama eran(?) de Nicaragua) CHI
>>102207796It'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
>>102205890I 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?
>>102208355Well 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 companyOh well, I'm still fairly happy with my pay. It's a bit rough knowing how much of a cut they're taking though.
>>102208753have you looked into the defense simulation space?
>>102208400Any O'Neill/Maybourne episode, the one where Teal'c moves off-base and gets a gf, Death Knell, Lost City 1 and 2, Moebius 1 and 2, I could go on.
>>102209065Do 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.
>>102209100I 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.

>>102209116can you do a lateral move in your company? otherwise, did you do any coding at all?if not, you don't have any leverage past entry level roles
>>102208355thats why you use gcp. 100x easier. comment as proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/17y94ix/comment/kwyc0ji/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
FRESH BREAD>>102209240>>102209240>>102209240
>>102209206Probably 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.
