at the CEO level it's a red queen's race, they can't not hire jeets.
at the very top (ex. Larry Fink) where people actually make decisions, it's dominated by jews that are doing this on purpose to eliminate the only ethnonational groups that pose a threat to them.

First for don't do free work and claim you're amazing for "going above and beyond". Enjoy your pizza party.
If companies want problems solved they would prioritize them and ask for them to be solved. Don't go around solving tech debt thinking it makes you anything but the best wagie.

I've done work with Servicenow for a large hospital for a few years now. (Servicenow is just walmart brand Salesforce for anyone fortunate enough to not know.) As a result my knowledge of C#, PHP, Python or any of the other languages that I spent hours learning in college have more or less faded. Meaning the only real language I'm familiar with now is JS because it's what I do all day at work.

It's time to hop jobs for a number of different reasons, but because I've been shoe-horned into just doing JS with ServiceNow I feel like I'm cornered on options. The only jobs I can seem to find are Senior Level SerivceNow jobs which I'm hardly qualified for, ServiceNow jobs for the government which requires some level of security clearance, or entry level JS jobs.

Should I go work for one of those government contractors I always see listed? Do I bite the bullet and go back to entry level code monkey business? Are certs a meme or is it worth grabbing some?
>>

>>
>>102235062
I don't know if it's impostor syndrome but 3ish years of doing JS for Servicenow doesn't scream 'lead dev' to me. Most of the jobs look for 6-8 years minimum.

Are those numbers stretched to weed out idiots?
>>
>>102235026
Salesforce is jeet tier and Servicenow is even worse. If someone interviewed as a "servicenow dev" I'd laugh them out of the room. If you want to keep doing JS build a website in React or something with JS or Typescript.
>>
>>102235026
Is servicenow a bad place to work? my brother in law has worked there in the sales dept for some time so I might have an in if I feel like there is a good reason to try in the near future. I have 4 years working as a software dev and 2 as an intern for software dev.

>>102235062
not that anon but looking at senior level job listings is really overwhelming. Like I am sure all of it is bullshit so HR can cover bases but then the question is what do you really need in order to be "senior"?

That's by design. It's why these threads are full of people telling you to never be productive because it just invites more work. I don't know if I'd go that far but they're at least partially right.

in my case it was for a new manufacturing process. the MBAs in charge don't give a shit about r&d, only give it bare minimum funding with a "you'd better be profitable within the year you useless leeches" mentality so there's no money there to milk, if i didn't do it the whole thing would likely have petered out. i did the work because i'm a dumb little goyim that still deep down believes the myth of progress.

Just like quitting a job when you haven't even gotten the contract, signed the contract, and started your first day at a new job.

Wait until you have a job and hope to god or whatever that rate cuts go through and tech start loosening up the purse strings.

are you still doing more than your dumbest colleague? 1/30 might be a bit much but 1/8th should still keep you well above that threshold. some little PM queer getting his panties in a knot is absolutely meaningless, you have no idea of the disdain that middle management has for PMs.

>>102237921
>are you still doing more than your dumbest colleague?
Yes, but they're all outsourced from fucking Calcutta and get paid 10k a year. There's some fucking psychopath in upper management that keeps assigning jeet consultants to teams despite the universal feedback from our leads that they're a net negative. I'm probably the lowest performing American on our team but I still do some ass-saving with regards to critical bugs that come up.

My buddy and I's ambitious project would be a competitor to a foreign dating site like https://www.filipinocupid.com/

The most difficult part conceptually seems to be user to user chat and its associated history. Elixir/phoenix seem to abstract a lot of that.

Aside from that, I just have "companion site/app for [insert TTRPG] or I'd have to go to ideation again.

Seems pretty bad, but I just quit my job. I have saved up a good amount of money so I don't need to work for at least a year, probably two.
If your job makes you this frustrated and depressed, then if you have the money quit, take a break, play some video games, go to the beach in Thailand, Mexico, Spain or wherever is close and cheap for you. And then find a job or do your own stuff.

I just stopped caring at work, but that made me feel even worse, so I decided to quit instead. A bad decision, but a good one for me.

Y'all. Live in southeast, stuck in tech support.

Now i'm GS-9 Federal tech support making 66k. the fuck do i do. I got a degree in IT, but not sure what path i should take to gtfo of support.

Service now is... A lame product. It's a database that forces you to customize your front end and workflows. But you have to let service now host all your shit so you pay them forever.

They took over the top 500 and now want to take over government orgs.

They don't respect the technical people in the Data center. They know that they will peak in a few years then it's a slow decline as their systems get replaced by something more modern. (They are not an inventive group)

Anyone working there has a few years to get out.

Just asked for a bigger than usual raise and got asked to provide competing software jobs with the salary im asking for. I don't know if Indeed is just shit but I can't find much better than what I already have in terms of jobs.
Maybe the industry is just in a bad place and I missed my opportunity? At this rate I'll have to go back and tell the boss I was out of line.

Got made redundant last month. A company just offered me a role, which I would take, but, I've been interviewing with another company for a role I would prefer.

The preferred company told me during the final round interview that they are still interviewing untill the end of next week. So I won't hear back for two weeks time.
What do I do? I don't want to reject the other companies offer in case the preferred company doesn't end up offering it to me, but at the same time I don't want to miss out at the opportunity to work for the preferred company.
I don't think I can delay the offer for over two weeks while "I think on it", and I doubt the preferred company would make an offer early if I let them know as they are still interviewing others all of next week?

Even self hostable LLMs can build usable apps today. Macs ship with wish (TCL REPL that lets you copy and past TCL apps straight in and have an instant GUI.)

Go to your mom/sister/someone uncreative that works at eg starbucks or neats and open wish and chatgpt on their mac. Tell them they can have any app they want that does anything.

Watch them sit in front of the machine and do nothing. It was never about skill, skill was always something we built in order to realize our creative impulse.

They said the same thing about third world retards, stack overflow, java. All these things have only created *more* work for us, not less. LLMs will be the same.

I got offered a $63k->$68k raise, the standard yearly increase.
I asked for ~$80k, the same I saw being offered last time we recruited to the team a couple years back. Unfortunately I can't find that posting anymore but I'd guess my junior colleague signed on for more than I make. The posting on our website says $52-80.
The position is just software engineer, there are no levels within the division.
I've been here for 5y, and while the work can be boring and stale, it is fully remote and not very demanding.

Make sure you have LinkedIn and connect with anybody you've worked with and people you know from college. If anybody works at a company you're interested in, send them a message to reconnect and then ask for a referral. Cold applications just don't work anymore. The person will get a referral bonus of a couple thousand dollars so they're more than willing to vouch for you.

See that is where your mistaken I am all for weed legalization that's fine. But the piss test is to get rid of the retards that do hard drugs. In the military at my unit we where kicking 10% of our force out every year and rarely was it ever just weed. Then when I went civilian maybe 1-5 people got fired for drugs and contractors it was about the same every year in a similar sized organization. Its reality your right to state that civilian pays more but it doesn't for the jobs that really matter. Those jobs get pissed tested alot more as a result. Cant even take ephedra for a sickness without having to keep the package in fear of it showing up on a piss test.

I need to make an on-boarding presentation for admin staff on how to use the new web application my team has developed.

Has anyone here done something similar? Do you have any tips/suggestions?

>clean up the shit we have - buying storage containers, throwing everything out
>Audit all on-site printers and get them on auto-ship for new ink and have maintenance regularly come out to service (we already work with a company who does this but we need to update our list of printers reporting back to them) and maybe a print server

Send an email to the recruiter or your contact point at the company, ask for an update about the application.
Remember this is important for them, it is not that important to the HR person. They might have other stuff to do and decided to deprioritize or forget your application, or they could be sick, etc.
Just send a basic and polite email to ask for an update on the situation.

Is it easier to find work in some town in the middle of nowhere where wants to live if you're trying to get an entry level programming job? I don't give a fuck where I live, so I'd be open to moving to Nebraska or something if it meant being able to more easily find a job.
>>
>>102244534
Hard to say. I would try to walk the line if I could. I guess it would depend on if what I was doing was directly contributing to their ability to commit fraud. I would never ever do anything I know to be illegal. I would probably pushback on any request that I considered to in the ethically gray area and make sure that they explicitly ordered me in writing to do whatever it is after my protest. If they didn't explicitly order after my protest I wouldn't do it. If they did order it I might consider it, depending on what I could see the outcome being.
Obviously if it's falsification of record data or something like that I would never do it, because even as a contractor if you are knowingly providing aid to a known illegal activity then you are complicit on some level. I am not a lawyer and doubly not a Canadian lawyer.
Just follow your conscience. No amount of money is worth feeling like an ass hole when your head touches the pillow. I genuinely believe that.

>Is it easier to find work in some town in the middle of nowhere
Not really, no. It IS however easier to find work in large cities that aren't fashionable or stylish places to live. I'll give some random examples in no order:
>Houston

>Dallas
>Philly
These are places where demand is appropriately high for a decent size metro area but supply isn't boosted by it being a super desirable place to live.

I took a full remote junior role 2.5 years ago at some tiny east coast company after covid. It pays like 85k. I do 15 minutes of work a day and do stand up on my phone from bed. I've completed 0 projects. I just stall until it gets canceled or some priority shift happens.

I really need to get a new job. I live in the bay area and I want to buy a house. I have like 6 years of exp on paper, but the last 3 years I have literally not learned or done anything. I'm one of the only people on my team who isn't Indian contractor.

Anons, I'm fucking overwhelmed by these requirements, what would be the most realistic and possible course of learning something useful for future employment.
I have knowledge on C, C++, Python, which is conflicting because it's been enough to carry me trough my job so far but according to every employee, it's basic baby stuff.
I also learn in college C++ applied for descriptive language (VHDL), Matlab for digital signal analysis, and PLC ladder programming. Which oddly enough, these are well paid careers on their own, but I would have to relearn them and require a bigger investment in relearning them since you need to buy very expensive material.

And it would be fine if it were one thing I don't know, but every fucking job listing has complete different programs or processes I've never heard of that other listings don't use, at this point I'm starting to think these are just made up words.

boss:

I fucking hate this faggot. I need to talk to him about this, but I really want to make his life as hard as possible. I need to find ways...

>SDLC process
Just another word for waterfall/agile? I think someone who knew what they were doing typed that listing through someone who didn't and so it ended up with random words that make sense in context.

Most competent programmers should know infosec.What kind of retards are you hiring?

I'd kind of like to work at a place like this. I'd be a giant among midgets and could just relax.

College proffessor/youth pastor/former teacher.

Unless you were homeschooled and literally never talked to anyone your whole life or you lied on your resume this isn't hard.

Wait did you not get your coworkers contacts before you left your last job?

I always get people's contacts when they leave so if I'm stuck in this sort of situation (like if I get scorched earth fired etc) I always have 3 y/o references ready to go. I guess go hunt them down on LinkedIn and hope the answer.

I don't know man, I haven't talked to those people in like 2 years and we didn't even work that closely together. I'm too autistic to provide references, I don't know how to call these people up and ask if they could give me a reference. For normal people providing a friend or coworker as a reference is the easiest part, but for me the reference is impossible. I looked up a couple old coworkers then when I thought about reaching out I just froze up and got an anxiety attack.
I think I'll just reject their offer and keep looking. Holy shit I'm so autistic
>>
>>102245823
Cheeleaders are underrated in modern society IMO.

Sometimes people just need someone to stand next to them and say everything is going to be ok. Sometimes that can be the difference between everything working out and it all coming apart.
>>
>>102245835
Invite them out for beer, maybe organize a "game night." When they reject it then you ask them for a reference.

When the recruiter calls me again I'm just going to say that I'm sorry but I can't provide any. Better to get rejected than to have to go through this.

We built evidence against one of our guys with the same problem, contractor doing nothing for over a year. Ultimately he was removed because we found a replacement within the company. Overburn/underburn is a common reason why contractors stick around without being fired. 1-to-1 replacement solves the overburn/underburn problem, and it's easier to poach from within the company than hire. I recommend looking around your contracting firm to see if anyone would be a good fit for your team. Our team was lucky because the replacement approached our team looking to join us. You will likely have a more difficult time. But a replacement is the way to go. That useless guy is now somewhere else in the firm being useless for another team and our replacement is shit hot.

Repeat your question back to them, in a public setting if any leverage could come from that.

You are within your right to close tickets, and work solely on the data within them.
