Hey anons,
I am a going to graduate in december and i am feeling pretty demotivated. The market doesn't look too good for new grads and I have been getting rejected in every job I have applied to. I can't even do leetcode in good conscious anymore because I need a interview in the first place. Anyone else know this feel? Any advice or comments?

Will they just make the ones who are left absorb the workload?

Brilliant idea. You should try out for management

>>102255494
I'm considering it because the devs are just goy slaves to management. All you have to do as a manager is ask for updates on a jira every hour

Anyone else have a 10yr+ career without ever really having deployed anything?

I built a few services that communicate with SQS at my first startup job, but ever since going big tech....lol

I feel like I earn one of the most precarious 250k salaries on the planet. Nobody would pay me this much to be bad at anything else

>>102255395
That's exactly what they will do. When companies talk about RTO these days, they already know they're going to lose some people. It's already been factored in. So the RTO will happen no matter what, and they'll take the opportunity to cut some costs and trim some fat while they're at it.

>>102255577
thing is it's highly competent people who are leaving and not the useless ones

>>102255589
They don't care. Unless they do adjacent technical work (and I can assume they do no technical work at all) it will have absolutely zero impact on them. They will deflect all responsibility when talking to their peers and their own boss, while continuing to turn the temperature up on the remaining devs
This is like a classic at this point. That is precisely how it will turn out. Has happened a million times. Will happen a million more

Israel and mass immigration from India (greencards stapled to every diploma) are the only things Vance and the people behind him care about.

So I'm interviewing at a place and the company wants references. They need to be professional references like previous managers, so I can't find a friend or something.
Problem is, I'm pretty sure my previous managers and coworkers have a grudge against me. I left a while ago and it's been a long time since I've talked to them. I really don't want to use them as references and honestly I'm kind of scared to ask.
What do /twg/

Fuck am I tired of everyone assuming I know their shit and they don't know anything about my shit.

>anon this needs to work because I have a MIR meeting in 40 minutes. Without that other anon can't do the EBITA report.

Then fast forward to troubleshooting and I get asked what a "login screen" is. If you don't know things that is fine, but why the fuck do I have to know everything about your fucking world.

>>102256189
please report back on how this goes and include a reference to this post.

>>102257044
Call and ask them if they can give a positive reference. Acknowledge the horrible thing you did, if that is the case. If the horrible thing you did was short notice then say you were stressed and the situation was unfortunate and you wished it played out different. Make sure you poke them about the positive part of the reference and give them an out. Most assholes will out themselves if they are planning to shit talk you.

If you are worried about them saying no, who cares. Better to know that people are against you than wonder about it.

>>102257180
Thank you for the advice anon, I appreciate it
I don't want to get into the "horrible thing you did" but I think it suffices to say I got terminated for it. It wasn't illegal or anything like that, but it did lead to me getting fired. So, I'm very hesitant to reach out to anyone at my old job.

How do you gain the confidence/knowledge to go from
>This seems wrong
>I think we should do things this way
To
>This is wrong
>Do things this way

>>102257258
start with co-workers then. There are some managers who aren't assholes, but will still bluntly answer the reason for termination question.

>>102257271
doing it wrong yourself
that's all there is to it

>>102255784
This. Happened to my team/company over this past year. Only remedy is to make yourself as critical as possible beforehand then quit with no more than two weeks notice and provide no useful knowledge transfer. Don't let managoids bully you into saying anything that makes them look good either.

>>102256656
This. Still voting for Trump just because it might cause a civil war but Vance is a fucking poodriller and would destroy the country faster than Harris.

Between me and my wife we currently make enough to pay the bills, invest, save for emergency and vacations, all the important shit. I am 100% wfh, working a pajeet tier job with very good stability. In a given day I put in maybe an hour of actual work, most of my day is just sitting in meetings listening to people talk.

Should I job hop to start doing some actual work just to have some more money and a challenge? I'm in my mid 20s and I worry that if I continue to sit here I will eventually lose any skill that I had and be unhireable later down the line. Or should I just continue to do my low effort, basically neet job, and ride out the rest of my career in mediocrity, for middle of the road pay.

This is probably more along the lines of life advice. But do you anons who work high intensity and high pay jobs wish that you had something slower and easier? Does anyone else feel like they aren't learning anything new or useful at their job? Is the grass always greener?

I slack off 50% or more of my work time, why shouldn't I get another job and do the same, effectively working a full time job while getting two paychecks?

>>102257504
I don't have a use case for getting more money once I can have every need met at the cost of 2x-10x my workload. All that extra money is being saved/invested anyways. Eating at high end places every day, high end luxury vehicles, bigger house, etc don't really entice me. The only reason to work those jobs is probably just ego for me, or to retire early and do something at the 5th rung of Maslow's hierarchy of needs like make a startup.

>How many years of work experience do you have with Leading Development Teams?
I struggle with this, because for years now I've been sort of informally doing this sort of thing, but no one has ever said "you are officially our lead on this project."

Does any other office job have this level of micromanagement? I don't actually know but I feel like if you are an accountant or civil engineer or something you just have someone come to you every once in a while and ask you to do something not a daily humiliation ritual that's totally not a status meeting but where you have to give your status on tasks

>>102258812

Yes, this happened all the time as a junior engineer. What's worse is I basically had 8 different bosses who only cared about their projects and I supported them all so I usually had one stopping by once a day to ask me how I was coming on only their thing.l and would disract me from whatever I was working on.
Yes it was like Office Space. Civil engineering is for the fucking birds, bro. Licensed guys all act like holier than thou dickheads and expect juniors to kiss their asses.
So glad I got away from it.

>>102259024
>you could also refer the people looking at your CV to your peers
I may be misunderstanding, but what I'm doing is applying online to various companies that I don't currently work for. I've always been told to keep this sort of thing on the downlow until I'm ready to leave. So there's no way I can see that I could get anyone external to talk to my current colleagues.

How do you deal with a situation where you're not the PM so you stay away from anything above your work in that project but your boss keeps pushing you to do stuff outside your area so you have a good control on everything.
Shit's kinda frustrating because I don't have time, money or the job responsibility to be in charge of people on projects that give NO fucking benefits to myself. (in fact most of the time it leads to more overhead for me)

>>102259129
You don't have a job

I mean, yeah, you could do that, or you could be honest and tell your employer that you want more money or whatever, I guess.

>there's no way I can see that I could get anyone external to talk to my current colleagues.

>>102259424

>>102259485

>>102259463
>you could be honest and tell your employer that you want more money or whatever, I guess
I did mention recently that I think I ought to be making more, yeah.
>do you not talk to them or to people from previous jobs?
I talk to my colleagues about stuff, but I've never involved them in my job search. Perhaps I could use a specific person that I trust not to spill the beans as a reference. As far as previous jobs: I've worked at my current one for like 6 years, and the only previous job was 2 years right after college doing sort of niche work. That was so long ago that I don't want to refer to it too much, as I've improved a ton since then. Though they did like me there.

>>102259532
>I talk to my colleagues about stuff, but I've never involved them in my job search

today my boss called me a different name, i don't even know who he thought he was talking to

Is there a name for the kind of developer who controls a project the whole team depends on, that they developed in their own particular way without a care for things like the principle of least astonishment, resulting in a project only one person understands and knows how to debug? Project Dragon, because they guard their project like a dragon guards its gold?

How do you slay the project dragon? The guy on my team goes on vacation, there's a bug in the project, I submit a fix that gets rejected when he returns because it doesn't fit his vision or whatever, he gets promoted presumably because the team needs him but it's only because he has created a wall of shitty design practices around his fiefdom and the team lead doesn't do anything about it.

"big tech" feels like daycare for midwits. Like they want us to busy so we don't bother the people in charge. Ever since I started working for 400+ person companies none of the tasks I've been given seemed remotely consequential. It's weird because they pay me a lot to do almost nothing. I feel like that shouldn't happen in a market economy and I'm not entirely sure how to explain it other than that the whole culture is doing that slow motion suicide thing civilizations do from time to time.

>>102260293
>do you even have a linkedin account?
I don't have any social media accounts, I think they're extremely retarded.

If I'm looking at jobs at places no one's ever heard of or at non-tech companies how much should I be focusing on leetcode? I got my current job via a friend so I've never had to go through the normal interview process. Looking at backend focused work in particular.

>>102260309
we aren't in a market economy. all large corporations are melded into the state. they're protected/privileged through regulatory moats and kept in line through regulatory control. even that control is hardly necessary because everyone running every company is educated the same way and thinks the same way. further below that there's the loss of civilizational confidence and vitality that you hinted at which is why nobody cares that this is happening.

>>102260340
I have never been asked to solve leetcode problems during an interview. It's always braindead easy stuff to see if I know basic programming concepts.

How do I keep my cool at work, I'm getting micro managed on inconsequential shit and I am too autistic to change my routines. Did I bring this on myself by being too productive?

Same deal, in my first job I worked on an actual product people used. Second job, it was a library people used in some products but not while I worked on it, as it was cancelled shortly after. Then I worked on its replacement until that was cancelled too, and I have no idea if it was used. Current job is kind of research based but I guess it will contribute to something pretty well known. Don't want to say what as it's a small world and my coworkers definitely use /g/. My job still feels inconsequential most of the time and I spend a lot of time doing nothing. Sounds enviable but I actually hate getting distracted, I just can't make myself focus on work.

Fellow remote workers: do you consider it to be rude to just call someone on slack without scheduling it first? Often, my boss will have some bug I'm discussing with him, and because he's apparently fucking illiterate and can't type, he'll just call me on slack without even saying "let's do a call!" or "can you take a call?"

Am I being overly sensitive or is this the most low temperature aggressive move you can make for remote workers

>>102261608
It depends on the company, even myself. My last company I'd be really fucking pissed if you call me without saying anything when I'm WFH. Here, people just randomly call me all the time. If you don't answer though, they don't take it to heart.

>Often, my boss will have some bug I'm discussing with him, and because he's apparently fucking illiterate and can't type, he'll just call me on slack without even saying "let's do a call!" or "can you take a call?"
This part you may be taking it too autistically. If he's already in conversation with you, it's just easier to say your point than typing it and it can be taken like 500x different ways.

This is a good reason not to try hard with most things desu.

I'm convinced my manager is taking on more work than we can handle so he can justify hiring a huge number of reports and forcing his way up the ladder. Then he tells the existing devs to come up with work for the new devs instead of managing them himself. I've told him I need a project manager for my project, not more devs, but he refused and hired a junior dev anyway, so now I'm a dev, a project manager, and this junior dev's manager as well.

>>102261711
juniors are so fucking needy. it's a full time job just to wrangle 2-3 juniors.

>>102261608
Yeah. I told my manager to set up time on my calendar if you want to do slack huddle. Dont interrupt my work

>>102261608
Honestly if its a quick question I much prefer that over scheduling a whole meeting for it.

>we're already ruled by jews tho
thats not a monarchy thats sort of an oligarchy, a merchant class that profits only from trade requires no allegiance to any people or country. The more there is interdependence the more trade is required and this empowers the merchant. The entire reason the industrial age exists is because of them. The more trade the more material benefits but more dependence. The dependence creates compromises that errode at ways of life. Merchants become so powerful but they make nothing and sell nothing. Its basically what happens when the sales department runs your company. They dont care they are in sales, they will leave the company and work in another sales dept selling whatever the fuck. /rant

>>102264160
yes yes very good but you're missing that both the oligarchs and the hypothetical urbit monarch are jewish. it's like arguing whether you'd rather be ruled by moloch or mephistopheles - you're fucked either way, you can debate their relative merits but then you're just mentally trapped in jew-world.

startups run out of money. start ups change their mind on everything every few months. start ups chase trends off a cliff. start ups will fire you just as quick as big corps when the money gets tight. any ownership you acquire will be diluted. any loyalty you earn through proven success will be differed to a Microsoft dropout they hired. any autonomy you carve out for yourself through consistent reliability will be seeded away to the first middle manager they hire

you will learn a lot very fast in a startup. including many things you wish you didn't know. if I knew then what I know now, I'd stick with stability
