>>102268937
The name of the subreddit is "csMajors", implying that it's mostly undergrad students. Of course they're asking stupid questions and complaining about not finding work. He should be looking in a different place if he wants a higher level of discussion.

We have more cause to complain about that sort of thing here, because this is supposed to be the tech _workers_ general.

>>102269108
At my company the role is called "data center operations." That's your search string.
>I don't mind being on call if they pay for it.

this is all you need to get a job in 4-6 months

re-posting an anon's post that i saved on my note:

if you get a job, here's some key tips

1. always look busy, not on your phone, not in fucking lala land, not out of your desk for half the fucking day. you're going to get barely any work but at least put some effort in trying to learn something rather than wasting your time. do fucking something.

2. help your seniors with their projects. don't be straight up "spoonfeed me" but try to stay somewhat interested, know when to fuck off if they're stressed and busy though. nobody wants an annoying cunt.

3. stay away from work gossip. don't take sides on the first fucking week, that's how you get shot in the foot

4. ask smart questions, a couple of times in the first month for spoonfeeding questions but anything after that and you're just going to end up being the annoying one. don't fucking just a part of your code to your senior with no context and be like "it doesn't work".

When you pass an interview, you do not get a lifetime tenured position: You get a job with heavy scrutiny in the first couple of months. This is to check that you can do the job, not just pass interview questions.

i dont see tech work going out of style so it's hard to imagine that the work is hard to get. you have to be lazy as shit to fail at that.

i feel like once you get a tech job you are likely to get a job very easily after

Just got offered to join a 4 month training program. I get trained for 4 months, and get hired for 2 years as a contractor through the training company. I get to work at a leading software company, and usually get an offer to work for the company after 2 years.
The catch: I get paid a 1/3 of the average salary for the role, and if I break the contract, I need to pay 25k USD back to the training company.
What do you guys think? I passed their filtering tests very easily.

He wont have to switch medical in a hard way. He can work at a hospital and get his degree with some additional classes like organic chemistry and whatever else is required. They really only look at hospital work experience, GPA and MCAT scores and ofc your race so if your white or asian you really gotta work hard towards getting your hours in and getting a high MCAT score. Everything else regarding whatever specialty he wants to do can be effectively learned online and I am sure Coursera / Edx would have some free college courses on the subject. Lots of memorization.

Wages have stagnated and alot of the staffers are being replaced by foreigners with shitter medical schools. Equally as a bad what would normally be residency(between doctor and med student) is now being filled with assistants from nurses to doctors. It wont be long before all surgeries are being done by paramedics that only know triage care instead of trauma care.

>>102272965
I assume not even help desk. Is that working for a small company? You need at least $60-80k once you get 18 months of experience and since the market is shit atleast 4 months in your savings account. Get security + and CCNA then you can bother with specializing. Also whatever company you go to next see if they have tuition assistance so you can get your masters degree in whatever. MBA would not hurt but almost any masters degree is required for management, project management or IT engineering positions so better to have it now then never.

jobs and industries rarely die (at least not quickly), but they certainly go from being highly paid to middle-of-the-road all the time. flight attendants, bank tellers, stock market traders. all once hot, sexy, and highly paid. now boring, overworked, and firmly middle class. students who went into CS because they were told it's hot will be in for a very rude awakening and the rest of us /twg/s will slowly lose our salaries to inflation

hopefully it will mean less incompetent dead waste coming through the system. but it's not like nepotism and failing upward is ever going out of style

>>102273651
Happened to doctors. Before $200k for all college/medical schools to make $300-500k a year was an easy trade for 8-12 years of total education if you include underpaid residency which was still double peoples average back then in the 1990's. Now you make that same amount but all total college cost amounts to $400-600k and your getting paid $60k in residency before you even make $400k. Also Pajeets and other foreigners who have zero or less debt are taking your job and killing patients but they wont fire them because that's racist. Wont be long until all doctors around the world are being paid less then $40k and instead of free college in these other countries its 5 million dollars USD and your wages are garnished regardless of when you quit medical.

If you're ever worried that the company might be on your side, take 15 minutes to read through your company's policies. I have a boilerplate one that has a clause that says it is against company policy for anyone to work more than 40 hours in a week. That's there to get ahead of any states that have mandatory overtime compensation laws so if anyone says they owe them overtime they can say they were violating company policy and threaten to fire them. Mind you that's on top of it saying employees are expected to work 8 hours a day on normal work days. So can't go under can't go over, gotta hit it on the infinitesimal.

It's really just a sort of toy, similar to that old hunger games simulator website, but it feeds in bits of context and has an LLM generate the events in json format, then I update the characters and so on until only one character remains.

It is simple, and still has a long way to go, but I am learning a lot just because of all the problems that crop up. Every step there is some massive issue that I need to spend two hours solving, but once I do that then I never need to solve the problem again because I know how to do it now.

Soon I will deploy this son of a bitch and my first portfolio project will be done. Then I can move on to a more complicated project with user authentication and using a more professional framework, and then I will start applying for jobs. It is exciting and difficult.

Good point, but I'm keeping the code very organized and now that I have this project it's very easy to reference and see how to do things.

Can I ask, right now I'm doing this in Flask having learned Python. I did that because it is simple and I wanted to build. For the next larger project though, what framework/language would you recommend for the sake of employment? Is Django actually used often, or should I move on to learn Javascript/Typescript and React and something in that area? Because I think those are used often.

I'm interviewing for a job titled "Software Engineer" with 3+ years of software engineering experience required. It has a system design interview. What should I expect in a system design interview for a mid level role?

It doesn’t sound like you’re in a time crunch right now so honestly I’d just keep playing around with some of them and try to develop opinions/preferences. At low-level all of these languages are the same shit. Each one just facilitates a specific kind of work by making certain things easier to express (at the cost of making other things harder to express).
The problem with the “what’s better for employment” perspective is that you’re just going to have to survey job postings for that and a million other retards are doing the exact same thing. Even if you somehow beat the odds you might end up having to do work that you despise.
You also don't want to be that person with identifies with React (or w/e) and then when no one uses React in 5 years you feel like you've lost your identity

"I hear you on the more collaboration! I've set up some time to share virtual coffee with others on the team!" Then set up recurring time with a couple other people, who are also presumably getting this dumbass ask, and then in your first meeting align with them that this shit is a waste of time but to leave it on the calendar for optics. And of course this is an added work responsibility so cut your productivity by 30 minutes a couple times each week

hi

quick call?

>>102278686
just say hi? maybe automate it? why do they want you to RTO if the team doesn't work in the same place anyway?
also, I guess this might or might not be of help, but ask them to clarify, what they mean by collaboration and why they think the team needs more. maybe tell them that you think there is enough already, that things are ok in the team, and if they think they aren't, ask them to provide more detailed feedback or something...

Lived in the military and living it in the civilian jobs. There really is not much difference between companies at this point. We are seeing everyone cut back hard as shit on all levels due to the economy. There hedging there bets right now and most of these companies will either be sold off, merged or closed. The other reality is we may never see the support we need at work ever again.

>>102279064
The issue is that line needs to go up, and this has become such an invariant in people's minds that now it needs to go even more up. You can even exceed the fuck out of your earnings and investors are still pissed. Multi-billion dollar profits? So what? I expected at least twice that!

Oh well, in the future we'll all be owned by 3-4 companies anyway.

No. I don't think this bullshit has ever been true. I don't know what the idea behind this even was - maybe to try and dupe a bunch of more retards to try and enter the field?

Fizzbuzz was created as a basic filter before automated filters. the idea being "if they can't do this easily and clearly, they aren't even worth a second more of my time." by the time it got popular it was irrelevant because (a) there were better automated filters and (b) by having pre-existing knowledge about it it invalidates the point of the test

Probably true. My schooling never included version control systems, though I'm in my 30s now so who knows. If not, it's still worth learning the basic functionality yourself. You'll want knowledge of SOME version control no matter what you end up doing, and at this point Git is the most popular. Worth noting that all the big tech companies (if that's where you want to end up) have their own streamlined versions because they don't want people doing retarded shit with all the flexibility that GIt affords you.

This used to happen with my microphone all the time in the pandemic. I don't remember if it was Zoom or Google Meet but one of them has a "Hey, you're making noise. Are you sure you want to be muted?" popup but previously it used to just proactively unmute. I assume they just released a ton of bugs while rushing for market share in the pandemic, but those are pretty nasty bugs and to this day I still close the door if I walk away to piss

>>102280711
My place has a 35h work week but even then he's like aggressively not working.
For example he took 3 days to write 2 SQL insert statements, with all the values already given in the Jira ticket. Any actual feature or bugfix takes him a couple weeks and it's so ridiculous everyone else is poking fun at it yet he seems unbothered by it. Like saving PDF files to sharepoint took him 12 days even if we already have code to do that, it was just a new endpoint for a specific case.
I throw him curveballs sometimes by booking some "live testing" meetings with him, he never has anything working. I almost think he's actually retarded in some way because damn he doesn't take hint even if it punches him in the face.

Some people are born without shame. I worked in a C++ shop once where there was a guy who lasted 3 years while not knowing C++ at all. He was always apparently an idiot but I never knew the true magnitude until our boss told me to help him debug something one day. Didn't even hesitate to link me to his WIP that looked like a schizophrenic wrote it. Multiple statements on single lines, tons of lines of whitespace between anything else, full comments followed by code that didn't do anything remotely in line with the comment. I would have sooner necked myself than shown someone a WIP like that. It was impossible to explain anything to him so I after about an hour I just pretended I had to jump to another meeting and then told my manager everything that went down. He was fired like multiple months later, but I don't know why that took that long either. Best guess is that he had some kind of fucked up disability and the company just never wanted to risk terminating him. I don't think it could have been a nepotism thing because then why the fuck put him into that situation at all?

I really can't come to any conclusion other than mental illness. There's a difference between that and being carefree or even lazy. It's like when someone invites you to their house and then they're a hoarder or they have multiple bags of garbage just chilling in a corner, haven't emptied the dishes out of their sink in weeks, the carpet has some kind of infestation because they haven't vacuumed in months or more. We're just seeing the programming version of that.

When somebody calls and says they want to come over in a half hour I say "yeah sure man" and then do the fastest and most frantic cleaning in my lifetime to make the house presentable

>>102281103
At risk of getting too whatever. French are... well, they're prototypes. Their nonchalant passion and passionate nonchelantism creates both the novel and the moribund. In their shamelessness is simultaneously a refusal and an eagerness to bow. They want to elect kings just so that they can later chop their heads off.

>>102281199
it's important to understand that they weren't always like that. in the late 18th century some jewish bankers who absolutely hated france managed to stage a revolution with the lowest of the low in french society. in the following civil war and continental wars all quality french blood was bled dry. mostly only the dregs are left and they're still in charge to this day, stamping out nobility wherever they find it.

are you hiring?

How do people learn to properly use highly scalable systems irl without just having a company to work for to do it with some kind of senior guidance? Like I can spin up a kubernetes cluster but so what? That's never going to be even remotely comparable to a large cluster running a large system.

got gcp deployment and autodeploy on push working with cloud run, auth is firebase, and db is mongodb (I didnt choose this but it works). feelsgoodman

>>102284596
In practice few people need "highly scalable systems". Distributed have major advantages and major disadvantages, so the things you need to understand are: (1) when to make a system distributed, and (2) how this necessarily complicates the design for that system. Knowing "this will only scale to X instances instead of Y" is nice, but for the vast majority of people X will never be >> 2.

How can I job search efficiently?

>>102274064
>>”errr no because we need you to be in the same time zone as your coworkers and also there might be tax implications!!”
In my opinion, the time zone thing is nonsense and it's your responsibility to be around when the rest of the team is. There are tax implications for certain countries if you were to work remotely as a full-time employee. Most companies won't give a fuck if you were to work as a contractor and will not chastise you for working internationally. As I see it, here are your options.

1) Move anyway and work remotely. It might be worth getting an Australian VPN just so nobody
questions why an IP address from SEA is accessing their infrastructure.

2) Re-negotiate your role as a contractor.

3) Quit your job and try another employer.

You're close to living the dream. Respect.

lots of people are coming to thailand. Won't be long before thailand's full. Its not just bangkok too its pattaya and chiang mai.

Yeah,

>North: full of hippies and tryhard "digital nomads" (writing a shitty blog about travel)

>Central: Literally no one lives here, still local but a boring, poor area.

>Bangkok: The WISH version of New york, full of vapid people who are trying so hard to act rich. No thai person lives within 1 hour of the central area.

>Pattaya: Sexpats, Pajeets, old bitter foreigners.

>Phuket-oblast: pyccкий дoм))

>Southern islands: Small and inconvenient to live, also sort of expensive. Full of drunk Australians treating it like a playground.

>>102286750
Thai culture really isn't set up to handle this. Their situation is going to be even worse than the one in Anglo countries IMO. The one thing they've got going for them is that they don't have "democracy" so they've got a decent chance of one of their coups being populist.

>Have my bi yearly performance review meeting this week

I dont feel like having the meeting. I just want to leave the company because I am done learning here. What the fuck am I even going to talk about for 45 minutes. Except talk about the stuff I talked about the last time I had this meeting for 45 minutes

This is what the person who will be talking to you is thinking — they don't want to do it any more than you do. Just smile and nod and take the pay increase.

Oh definitely, there's already a growing resentment towards long term visitors of Thailand among locals. It's a hard pill to swallow for Thai's working for 350THB (10USD) a day in terrible conditions, while the white guy is working in a cafe on his laptop making that amount of money in 10 minutes of "work".

If I had to guess, there will be a massive political shift to be way more conservative in the next 5 years in Thailand.

>>102287847
Heh, just like indonesians

Started RTO last week and found out there is no reimbursement for parking. Closest parking is ~$26 for 8 hours. Managers suggested to take the metro. That would add 40+ min to commute to which they say you can take a nap or catch up emails.
What Kool aid did they drink? How is any of this ok? Was it really like this pre-covid?

>>102287923
LOOOOOOLLLLL

>What Kool aid did they drink?
Copium-aid. The kind that makes you lie to yourself.

>How is any of this ok?
It's not. Find a new job that's fully remote.

>Was it really like this pre-covid?
Yes.

>>102288193
Just find a new job that's fully remote. It took me 3.5 months but it can be done.

>>102288308
NTA, but how did you manage to do it? Linkedin and talking to 3rd party recruitors hasn't really helped me change to a remote role

Should i care about staying at least x months in a job? Should i quit my job right away if i find another?

Have 7 months at my currently job, can i already quit or not? Do recruiters care if they see you exchanging jobs in less than 1 year, 2 years?

>>102288470
Stick to at least 1 year

>>102280075
Had a few of these types of jobs throught life where you use a bit of everything. IMO is not about requirements but responsabilty. I wouldnt mind people asking me to work in setting up a firewall one day, making ui changes in react the next. My problem would be people calling me at 4am to fix a down server and wanting me to do unpaid overtime to delivery a new ui asap.
So think about responsability and stress instead of how many diff tech you need to know. Everyone can learn a new framework in a couple days, i dont consider that too special.

>>102288548
Alright, but do i start looking for a new job right now or wait and start after completing 1 year?
Because if i plan to leave exactly at 1 year then i believe it is time since all my jobs took 4-6 months to get.

From what I've read, yes. What stood out to me was a review of my current employer on Glassdoor saying that loyalty is not rewarded, and people who leave and come back later get a better deal.

I sent around ~500 apps if I had to guess. I found most jobs on LinkedIn and Otta. Remote roles are highly competitive because of all the RTO shit going on like that anon pointed out, so it's going to take a lot of work.

>>102288548
>>102288677
Idiot bootlicker mentality, and completely wrong.

1 Year at 3 companies = 3 very different projects minimum, with much greater learning opportunities.

Also, if you have 3 years at one company, it begs the question, "If this guy is actually really good at what he does, why hasn't anyone poached him"?

>t. guy who job hopped between 4 jobs in 2 years and quadrupled my income.

Has anyone heard of or worked for this firm called alten? I can't tell if they're selling software engineers for cheap or they an recruitment firm or what. Sound like they get software engineers on retainer and just have them wait around until a project gets greenlit. Just don't want to be sitting around kicking my feet making presentations for them waiting for a job.

>>102289133
I see their job postings on linkedin too. Idk what they are, think it is just a giant conglomerate

>>102289133

looks like a domestic outsourcing firm. large corps will hire them on to have flexible staffing levels. as an class they're somewhere between real engineers and third world outsourcing. useless for anything that requires independent thought but will put out decent quality bitch work. pay is low except for managers.

>>102288470
depends on your stack and job prospects
getting 3+ years in the same tech stack imo really helps you become more employable. Working 1 year each in 3 different tech stacks has meant most companies aren't interested in me, even though I already know the language and technologies, because I don't have 3-5 years in spring boot or .NET or whatever. Only big tech companies really hire generalists, but they also hire specialists too. And if your city only has a few big tech companies then if you don't fly through the interviews then you're fucked.

There might be but as someone who specializes in code archaeology, just keep doing what you're doing. There's not really any shortcuts unless you know the person/people who wrote the project. And that's more of a "understand what kind of person are and what their priorities are" than like being given a walkthrough of it.

miss those at my old job where I could do that

I got an interview but when I re-read the description it's way out of my league. I feel sick with nerves. I already have a job and I mean they must have looked at my resume, so I shouldn't care. My nerves are just shot since I don't know if it'll be a technical interview or just a chat.
Should I leetcode cram or just wing it?
