>>102293619As long as you're willing to pretend you have an interest in coding, welcome in
>>102293666I attempted some coding. I liked C the most. Python is so open and abstract, I didn't get it.I prefer clear, carefully defined code lines than easy but abstract.I had a look at assembly. Wtf really. I also found Java harder than C. Wtf on Java too.

Good morning sirsWho's ready for standup tomorrow? Any blockers?
Company is doing a huge amount of layoffs next week (not this upcoming week) and I have zero motivation to work. AAAAHHHHHH
>the jeets you work with are the best of the best out of indiahow horrifying that we share a species with them
I feel so fucked in the social+love deparment that I'm thinking of going back to live in the big city and maybe even work in the office. what worries me the most about this is the money I'd spend, but otoh at least I'd have some options to meet women...I'm almost 40, only had 1 long term relationship and the lack of options is killing me.
>>102294800Just know that'll only help with meeting a certain kind of woman. If you want to meet chicks who are more on the homebody side then it doesn't help.
Just worked this entire weekend eating doordash and haven't been outside. Gonna go for a jog before I off myself
>>102294871This but every day for the last... 4? years
>>102294518it's too late anyway. the decisions have been made. GL
I have been made redundant from my WFH job. Can now only find office work but modern offices make me want to kms. If I was single I'd do contracting/consulting from home or just fucking dig holes for minimum wage or something but I have a family. My wife has no work experience because we've been coasting on my tech salary so can't rely on her to pay the mortgage. I'm not looking for advice just venting thanks for reading my blog
>>102292573>Get a tech adjacent job>£6k more than I've ever made>MFW they don't even have an auto dialerThis should be a good thing but I'm finding the repetition of taking numbers manually from a database and calling them stressful, should I just convince my boss to install AutoHotKey and tell them it'll improve my workflow?
>>102294859at least I'd get my dick wet. I don't even get that in my shitty touristic town.
>>102292667based
>>102295096See if your workstation has anything preexisting you can use. Might have an old version of Perl hanging around. Then just learn how to automate whatever you have.

>>102295159Seems to just be a standard Windows 11 box to be honest, nothing but the raw basics of Chrome and that's about it.
>>102295096are you calling from some desktop app, from a dumb phone or from a smartphone? can't you transform them into the tel: format and maybe link that to the app, or maybe share it to your smartphone as text and then click on the numbers to call them?
>>102295182Powershell? Or maybe you can dump the whole DB into a spreadsheet and do something fucked up from there
>>102295230Either from the Teams web app or Teams electron app being the main "dialer", there is also a webphone as well that can be called into, but for outbound then it's through teams. I basically want to find a way to extract from the Database I'm given, take the number, ring, if it declines it'll update the status for me as it wouldn't be hard to do i + whatever the current status is and leave some notes with the date and status of that caller.>>102295245That's an idea, not sure how useful it would be however.
>>102295259>Either from the Teams web app or Teams electron appcan't you just copy & paste the info into a chat with yourself then? like, concatenate tel: to each phone number and then click on them to call them or whatever? then if the call gets declined edit the note in Teams and add "declined" or whatever other info you need to the row
>>102294487I wont be doing anything this week because of database migration effort...thanks
I just got told I will be put on pip extremely soon.I have been struggling with performance for a while (about when I joined this team a year ago).I just got diagnosed with adhd and I have been struggling with depression for many years so this is probably a main contributor.I defiantly have some learning points here which I can try to apply to try to salvage this but what are the recommendations here?This is big tech and I switched to this new team a year ago. I have been at this company for 3 years total (the other team sucked, was boring, and had really bad management and team dynamic issues)Is it possible to get a job after being fired? I can't help but think of the worst case scenario here. Given how ass the job market is I feel like I will be out of a job for over a year.Given a gap that big how do you even explain that in an interview?
>>102295406Also to add I am turning 30 this month.
>>102295406Does your country count ADHD as a disability such that you get any kind of protection from termination?That aside, PIPs are ultimately about the company covering its own ass, so they're usually pretty long. I want to say like 6 months. I would spend that time trying to meet expectations so you don't need to worry about a job search.
>>102295406Few people survive PIPs. Start looking for a new job immediately.
>>102295406>can I get a job after being firedYes but it's far easier to start finding another role now before you are fired. Start upskilling and hunting now, having never been on a PIP I couldn't say if it's true they're foregone conclusions but I wouldn't just wait for it in the meantime.
>>102295406When you say struggling wi th performance what do you mean? You're not meeting deadlines? are you just not doing the work, you can't do the work, or.?
>get into infrastructure and platform stuff>new staff eng decides to rearchitect literally everything>haven't written code in like 6 months other than writing yaml filesI don't know how to escape this hell. I'm so sick of learning new random bullshit tools he keeps introducing despite the existing bullshit he's already adding not working properly yet or showing any value. I had to write some actual running code recently and it was so refreshing. I'm confident that this entire initiative is going to crash soon and I'll be part of the culling that happens. It all just feels like such a waste of time.
>>102295806Publicly document your concerns.
Spent 3 years busting my ass working for peanuts / literally free / being jobless / applying for thousands of positions.>decide to offer businesses consultant services (have 6 years of experience now, everything from devops to networking to cabling to project management to cybersecurity to engineering to scripting to web development, fluent in C++, python, java, HTML/CSS/JS, know every network protocol, worked on 7+ OSes, mac/windows/linux/BSD/etc)>finally found company willing to give me a shot>complete project two weeks ahead of schedule, they're happy as fuck, paid good too (below market, but it's nice after 3 years of below minimum wage)>going to give me a bunch more work
>>102295754I was slacking off earlierNow I do the work but I find it hard to get help (SME not responding, people being slow to approve PR...etc)I have trouble tracking multiple tasks (focused on primary task and loose sight on smaller tasks and forget they exist)Hard to ramp up on a new task sometimesIf I had to summarize it's probably time management, task tracking, and learning to communicate for help
>>102296083I don't understand, if you have 6 years of experience and you're fluent in so many things, why are you only now getting a job?
>>102296138I live in Ontario. That answer it?Had a few gigs, mind you - I've worked about 3 years total in that time, in tech.
>>102296560Isn't Ottowa in Ontario. Are you trying to say that the capital city of a first world country doesn't have many tech jobs?
I want to study another career in case working in IT stops being profitable. What you guys recommend? I've been considering enrolling into a trade school, but a bunch of coworkers tell to pursue a 5 year career and I don't feel like doing that again.
>>102296584>first world country...anon.Canada has been a failed state for 5 years now.I'm also in the Toronto area, not the Ottawa area.Our economy collapsed 2 years ago, and immigrants get subsidized wages (by up to 70%).The market here is fucked.
>>102292701I'm being forced to do all of those things. Haven't written unit testing since college. They're forcing us to do all these architecture reviews now. Every daily standup the scrum master tracks story progress - "let's make sure we add details to those stories", "let's make sure we're moving these stories along". Still a junior after 2.5 years in the same position.I interviewed at another company last week, same industry, mid-sr. level, 25k more. Asked them if they have scrum master, daily stand ups, architecture reviews, or use "Workflow Orchestration Tools". They use none of that shit. Feels like a really chill environment where I could just produce some good products and coast for a year or 2 until I'm ready for fagman interview. Really want that job so I can kiss this team goodbye.
>>102296126I don't like how I can relate to this situation and I have yet to get a PIP

Cover your ass always for when it gets to this point.>Trouble tracking tasksFirst thing in the morning write down what you need to get done, if it's not checked off at close of business follow it up when making tomorrow's list.I found the Pomodoro Technique exceedingly useful for time management since I can sprint but can't marathon, start small and carry a notebook and write shit down when it happens.
>>102296752Yes but it's easy to turn into hell. Know what you're doing before starting with it and don't let jeets anywhere near it.
>>102294487I made some progress on that ticket today, might be delayed since Ranjesh didn't respond to me. Thanks
>>102297165What do jeets do to it?I need to get a job before I work with them anyways.

>>102297399Last time I spent time teaching myself something new when there was nothing to do the senior engineer messaged me pissed off that I didn't ask him for work. I did earlier in the day and he had nothing at the time.
>>102296714I can't tell exactly how you're relating to the above post but testing and documentation are good in moderation. You'll be writing both of these things at fagman as well.
>>102296778Based procedural PHP and jQuery boomer.
how do you geniuses ensure your code is working correctly without unit tests?
>>102297944Write it right to begin with and you won't need to test it, little junior
>>102297944Read it line by line and imagine what would happen if it ran. I know this is hard for you because developers don't normally have an imagination.
>>102297962>>102297977sure, but like why wouldnt you want to prove it?
>>102297944Rust that compiles is guaranteed to be bug free
>>102298084I have other things to do like jerk off and post in nigger hate threads. Not going to write a test. Just not going to lol.
>>102297944This, >>102298096 but almost unironically.
>>102297944I don't
>>102297944someone else finds if it doesnt work
its 2:15am and i have to wake up in 7 hours for my standup :(
why should i devote precious time and energy to writing documentation and unit tests if i will be gone in 1-2 years anyway?
>>102298654You shouldn't. Future junior devs or interns should be documenting your undocumented stuff while they're learning about the system. Keep track of what you aren't documenting and then offload it to them when they're ramping up.
Late 30s and working as an architect at a bank.Is it over for me? Is it too late to pivot to big tech or a startup?

So what would you say is your worst quality?
>>102299619I hate shitskins and niggers. Diversity is not a strength. HR shouldn't exist.
I took some vacations and included two days where I'm supposed to work remotely in the total of days I took off. But the company I'm working for has a policy that forbid people working from outside the country.If I set up a remote control on a laptop to my machine at home, which is connected to the machine at work. Will it detect the double control? (don't know how it called or even if it's a retarded question)
>>102299998What's your host OS? If it's Windows 10/11, then most likely yes.
Yeah it's Windows 10
>>102297944You don't, no one does. Unit Tests are vital on larger projects once you reach the complexity and scale where you can't be sure anymore.All the boomer uncle bob stuff seems silly until you hit a job like my current role. A custom fintech setup, built by pajeet contractors in a first world country who outsourced to india, at the behest of a shitbag CFO cheapskate. All the code processing invoices, statements, accounting etc is written in node.js/typescript in a microservice pattern with no unit tests and a couple integration tests, usually 1 or 2 per microservice only to verify the correct case. There is very little to no logging, the alarming is absolutely useless and no way to debug or rewrite existing code because it is all garbage curry code with no architectural separation. Code is full of subtle asynchronous bugs where the jeets resolved this by simply enforcing synchronous calls on all IO, defeating the purpose of using node. Databases contain 'relational' tables, where the jeets couldn't even trim zeros off the front of the keys to ensure they match, so instead they directly insert with 0s on the front. General Ledger system doesn't balance except once a month. A project with pajeet PMs, pajeet developers, pajeet solutions architect (who picked the contractors).Then you understand why you need all the unit tests, abstractions and architecture to maintain these pieces of shit. And only hire white developers.
>have been just shitposting the whole day instead of workingof fuck of fuck will they find out?
>>102300103Sirs are the only developers who can write job-secure code. You fire them to cut down costs? Fine, now you have to support the codebase by yourselves, good luck. Fuck around and find out.

So why do you want to enter this fake "industry"? You will only be employable for a number of years because of ageism, corporate greed and pidgeonholing. Millions of cheap kumars h1bs will have preference over you. Inb4 its good money. The question is, for how long?

>>102301540How do people phone post on this site its a miserable experience

You will be robbed via inflation: your savings will diminish in value at a rate you won't be able to compensate.Oh really? Then why does anyone invest at all?

Cover letters - yay or nay?
>>102301791Why are you even thinking about retirement when you still hasn't solved the problem of having a job and paying your bills? You won't get a penny from 401k unless you have consistently worked for most of your life.

>>102301819Your stocks are fake numbers that are subject to "market" trends.
10 minutes in Monday and I'm already frazzled and kinda annoyed. Is this a sign to look for a new job or am I being a bitch? I don't want to always leave when the going gets tough but I can't help but feel really frustrated with dealing with my coworkers. >>102301838The problem is I was hired to help support my boss in him helping the day to day operations. I know fucking nothing about the day to day but I know the software. I don't (and neither do I want to nor do the stakeholders) have the time to do shadowing sessions. And each fucking department does everything differently. So I don't know the ins and outs and repercussions of shit but I keep getting pushed to push features out and it's so frustrating because it feels like I'm constantly overlooking something, being too overly cautious, everyone seems to be giving me false information in what they want AHHHHHHHHHH
>>102301885I say no, but idk. I'm just a random 30 yo eng on 4chan. What do I know about getting hired?
>>102301885Waste of time. I have never sent a cover letter in and have had plenty of interviews and job offers. The only time its necessary is certain government jobs but when I see that requirement I just move on.

>>102302953Yes.They ask this basically everywhere these days.I usually put Male and then two or more races because I'm Jewish xd.
>>102302413That sounds awful
What's a professional way to tell someone that just because it took them 20 years to get where they are, doesn't mean you won't be able to surpass them after a month of working there?Tired of incompetent retards using years of experience as a hiring criterion. Been in the industry for over 3 years, can say with 100% confidence that those ugly dysgenic staff engineers at FAGMAN have less than 10% of my skills and talent.
>>102302664You are welcome here, fren.t. ME-anon
>>102303018>another hot shot know-it-all is out to change the world and wants to work like a slave for mr. shekelberg to prove he is very smartYou're actually the idiot in this situation, the guys with 20 years experience figured it out a long time ago and know better than to fuck up a good thing.
>>102303018>Been in the industry for over 3 years>can say with 100% confidenceFigures.
>>102303018actions speak louder than words
>>102303018If you're really that skilled and talented, you wouldn't need to tell anybody about it, your actions would speak for themselves.And if you're really that talented, why do you need to surpass anybody? Start your own business. You have the power to make anything, allegedly, go fill a niche.
>>102303018You should never say anything like this, anon. I know you think you're a hotshot, and you are probably much more generally competent than your boomer or gen x competition, but listen to me: NEVER EVER SAY IT OR DRAE ATTENTION TO IT.
>>102303158Guys like him always get chewed up and spit out by the workplace. He's a bug in search of a windshield.
>>102302953Just check all boxes.
I unironically hate work from home. I'm much less focused. 10x more stressed and paranoid.
>>102303285take it easy
>>102303285Once you realize none of this shit matters your productivity, happiness, efficiency and career will all go up.
>>102303285So RTO then, bitch. No one is stopping you. The reason you're paranoid is because you don't have what it takes, fucking faggot. And you're a pussy.
>>102303373hey man im still fighting for your WFH rights, i just myself prefer work at the office even if im there solo. it's not financially viable though because of the commute.
>>102303413if you were, you would've rented a coworking space and kept it secret
>>102303434>Rented a coworking spacedo you know how much that'll cost? sigh i'd work in a library or cafe but those feel kinda terrible for my type of job (lots of meetings, etc.) plus library is more for students so it's weird.
can a nigga get a interview
Why do dumbass recruiters on LinkedIn/Indeed constantly contact me for roles I'm clearly unqualified for based on their own job description?
>>102303498what kind of experience do you have, what do you know to do?
>>102303519Because recruiters and HR are the most NPC people imaginable and cannot understand anything they werent directed to do.
>wfh day>got lots of chores to do>take a break on 4chan>gf sitting next to me>"What are you supposed to be doing today?"Why are women like this? Yes, I obviously have a bunch of stories and epics I need to work on, but let me do all that in the office when my boss is actually watching me.
>>102303571>>102303519Because they mass message anybody that hits a certain flag, regardless of whether or not they're qualified. It's a numbers thing.>>102303622Mine does this too lmfao.
>>102303498The answer is not really.
>jeet randomly adds me on linkedin>he's from my old universitywhy the fuck are you adding random people, is this what school is teaching you now a days?
>>102303714Is he asking for a job? All the jeets that have been adding me recently are asking for a job or for me to reccommend them for a job.
Am I the only one that doesn't have a gf on this normalfag reddit-lite site? I thought this place was for incels.
>>102303728one guy messaged me "It's been a while since we last caught up!" (some preselected message)and im just straight what the fuck are you on about?????
>>102303746That's a tactic, it's to make you questioned yourself and get you to engage with him. You're supposed to think "Wait, do I know this guy? Maybe I should talk to him and find out!"It works on retards and boomers.
>>102303746"can you please sir do the needful and make me a referral for X position? Thank you sir! I see you went to [school], I also am the alma of matter! Go [team]"
>>102303714LinkedIn gives you suggestions on who to add, it'll recommend people from old work/uniOne time I accepted one and they messaged me wanting to be my financial advisor but I just ignored it
>>102303714sir please redeem the connection request
>>102298740Hate when this happens.
>>102303815I got that one too. It's annoying becuase it'll be like "30 mutual connections" but it's all just a random assortment of people from work or school.
>>102303743go to /b/ or /r9k/. /g/ stands for gigachads only! 8-)
I hate everyone I went to uni with. They were all redditor capeshit fans and their entire idea of STEM came from Big Bang Theory. Also one of them trooned out over summer break and walked into first day of senior year wearing a skirt and demanded everyone call him Stephanie. Was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen, I literally laughed in his face and never talked to him again.
>>102303853>Also one of them trooned out over summer break and walked into first day of senior year wearing a skirt and demanded everyone call him Stephanie. Was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seenlmao
honestly i was the weird kid in my high school but when i went to uni holy fuck you'd see even weirder fucks and i wasn't even in a tech field (hey im a tech worker now i can be in here)
>>102303876One thing I do still think about is how he landed on the name "Stephanie." His real name didn't even start with an S, it was Andrew. I wonder how troons choose a female name. Is it just like "This is a name that sounds like it would belong to a girl I'd jack off too" ???
>>102303892same lmao>all the homeschooled freaks were released to the wild
>getting ghosted after 3 rounds of great interviewsWhy is it like this man. This job market fucking blows.
>>102303933they found the ideal candidate. it sucks i know. desu there should only be two interviews.
>>102303953Its even worse because I felt like I was the ideal candidate. I matched the job description like 90% and had a great back and forth with the team.
>>102303933At least you are saving democracy.
>>102303917I feel like public school produces freakier people than homeschooling does these days.
>>102303933>ghostedDid you follow up with the recruiter? It can take 2 weeks or so for someone to get back to you, depending on how unorganized it is over there.
>>102303964yeah we had another guy that was really good in an interview but he just needed a little more technical knowledge. it really sucks and i felt bad.
>>102303449You sure do love complaining. I'm at a coffee shop right now and have taken calls. Shut up retard drone.
>>102303986Trying to predict what will be the thing that fucks your kid up is honestly impossible.Society is absolutely fucked, your kid will be completely fucked up no matter what, the only thing you can do is try to minimize the damage after it becomes apparent.
>>102303714I get this but from random students that literally live and go to college in India. Every time LinkedIn tells me who's looked at my profile it's full of Indian people from random Indian companies and universities.
>>102303987Im going to follow up with the recruiter by the end of day. Last I heard they were still doing interviews but that was over a week ago.
I don't understand why the fuck any of you still bother with LinkedIn. It was all scams ten years ago but now it's scammers scamming other scammers.
>>102304069What else is there?The only really great job board I ever used was my university's internal job seeker board. It was mostly local companies looking to hire our students and there was zero scams on it because it was rigidly gatekept, but I lost access 6 months after I graduated.

>>102301954Good morning sir
>>102301872Nupol and its consequences have been a disaster for the white race
>>102304126If that means more retards working their whole lives to make my 401k fatter then its ok.
>>102304126>inflation goes up>value of dollar goes down>things become more expensive>stonks also become more expensiveYou:>"look the stonks are more expensive, this is good!"Being a retard isn't a counter to being a doomer. It just makes you a retard who can't put 2 and 2 together.The US dollar has lost over 97% of its purchasing power since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 btw. There's a reason your parents and your grandparents worked their entire lives and you still don't have shit.
what are you currently saving up for? want to get my son an action camera for christmas.
>>102301590What else should I do? I'll ride this train until it disappears, then I'll worry about what's next.
>>102304069Where else to find job saar
>>102304253Trying to find a job that pays enough that I can rent in the center city where my girlfriend lives. Then I can go out every night with her and live life the way it was meant to be instead of spending all day every day rotting inside.
>>102304205You're so fucking stupid. Literally nigger tier. If you're an adult you should be ashamed. I'm not going to spoon feed you. >>102304253Paying off my house early, currently on track to get it done in 10 years. Otherwise saving for raising a family if that will even be possible in two years.
faggot bitch neighbor been listening to music for 6 hours
>>10230257Well, which one are you?My uni is making me go through a data analyst bootcamp that's packed with python, matplotlib, pandas, and seaborn. There's two le Capstone project, one is about data visualization and the second is machine learning heartbeat detection website wumbo jumbo with tensorflow, keras, and flask. Both of these needs to be done before 10th november or else they will hold my graduation certificate. Fuck me, tell me at least that the job pays better than being a QA
>>102304341Bluetooth/WiFi DDOS. Get a Yagi antenna, a rasperry and shoot RF waves at it. Brick the fucking device.
>>102304338>You're so fucking stupid. Literally nigger tier. If you're an adult you should be ashamed. I'm not going to spoon feed you.This isn't reddit, the female social shaming tactics don't work here. Either argue your point (you can't) or just accept that you've demonstrated that you have low intelligence and stop posting.
>>102304404Is this legal

IBM sent me a coding assessment...Does that mean I passed the resume screening or do they send these to everyone?
>>102304414Cool, I don't care. I just genuinely hate you and retarded subhumans similar to you. Everyone knows what you're doing. Kill yourself nigger.>>102304419No kek>>102304420Tell them to fuck off
>>102301954>how do you become this insanely cracked?That's called autism. Before I started working I was pretty similar to your picrel, until one buddy posted his company was recruiting and I got the position. Now I'm earning more than double of what I started. There's drama, there are chores, there are issues but autism always finds some time
>>102304420answer the question dipwad
Is it possible to do online university as well as hold a full time tech job? Would any tech company even let you do that or would they be worried you can't put your full time towards the job? Is it better to hide the fact that I'm working on my degree on my resume, or write it down? (It is not a compsci degree)
>>102304425You know that ibm is peak jeet hell right?
after 3 hours of meetings I'm ready for my day to begin
>>102304419Of course not. Just fucking shoot at him.
>>102304419No, it's actually a federal felony. But do it anyway no one will ever know.
>>102304425>>102304451no, I wasn't aware
>>102304443Real data analyst then. What's the job like?
>>102304451Jeet Hell. That's pretty funny. That do explain their fall from grace.
>>102292573I'm married to an Indian but haven't interacted with many of them outside of her high class family. If I go to work in big tech in a company filled with them, are they the type of people to resent me for stealing their girl, or to worship me for mingling with their kind? I'm tall white and (modestly) handsome.

>>102304620I had a friend who majored in Game Design. He said the first day of classes was just the professors begging the freshmen to shower regularly. He thought they were joking, they were not.
How do I get over my hatred for the average tech worker? I don't like being mean but it's exhausting having to be fake friendly to the human scum that fills this profession all the time. It makes me seem weird because I'm pretty sure that I subconsciously telegraph how much I hate everything they enjoy but I go out of my way to be nice when I actually talk to them.
>>102304436>>102304487Why wouldn't it be legal?
>>102304727Best way to deal with abrasive autistic tech faggots is to just pretend to submit to their "intelligence"That's the single point of failure for a lot of "erhm, ackshually" tech incel types -- they have absolutely nothing going on in their lives, and never have, modulo being "smart" and working at a "tech" company.So just ask them their opinions about some arcane incel shit like vim plugins and let them ramble, you don't really have to do any talking yourself.
>>102304735You are violating the NAP.
>>102304750Yep I already do that. Can't count the amount of times I smiled and nodded to absolutely delusional shit coming from a senior engineer when I first started out. But I meant more that even the non autists are unbearable. I'm so fucking tired of hearing about video games and rock climbing. And the worst is the few who like sports ball shit and god forbid if you didnt grow up with their stupid fucking team obsession. The autists at least occasionally say something interesting between the bloviating.

I'm guessing a lot of these guys are white/asian, probably talk about going to EDM shows too. Truly insufferable copy+pasta golems.I know your pain anon, after 10 years in industry I have exactly 4 real friends that came organically out of the 6 companies I've worked at.

>>102304969Because you work smart. People has the conception that actual work implies working hours. Some cultures perceive working until late as something negative, not as an indication of productivity, because objectives are not being achieved in the required time.
>random roastie adds me on Linkedin >wrked in my company for 10 years as an “analyst” ending in 2018 (supposedly)>check her profile >detailed listings of nail salon work but with a random analyst role with no description thrown in this is either a scammer or a bootcamper trying to worm her way into networking using fake job history
what the fuck do you want me to say lmao? oh yeah i spent my weekend playing visual novels, muramasa is so fucking wild bro. like holy shit you "fake normie" autists are even worse than normie and autists because you don't know your fucking place. fuck off.

>>102304979Oh another funny thing about the rock climbing niggers: Two years ago I accidentally walked into three of them discussing some kind of wife/gf sharing cuck activity they were planning for a week they all took off together. >>102305048Just say general shit and have a backup plan for if they ask for more details (they wont). One of my hobbies (growing uncommon plants) is normie friendly enough so that's my go to when they ask.
>>102305048I still remember some high end executive guy introducing himself as a Cyberpunk 2077 fan at the fucking peak of the bug disaster at lunch. It was a formal presentation, he has a new hire. It was the most alien thing I've ever heard in a business meeting.

Gonna get two offers at almost the same time, salary will surely be very similar since I discussed them very early, only difference one is a small and the other a fairly big company. Any suggestions anons on which would be a good pick? I'm fairly early on my career with only 5YOE.
