What is a reasonable freelance rate to charge for a simple website for a business? Basically, just a few pages describing what they do and then an email. I'd be willing to do it for almost any price, I just don't want to overprice myself and then lose this opportunity. I've been unemployed for a few mos now and this is the first freelance site I've done free.

Good, got some career tips from the senior boomer, pretty nice guy. However, I'm still nervous after the layoffs that happened 2 weeks ago. I don't like the pressure. I keep waiting for a call with HR or some shit. I've been sending CVs so I don't get left on thin ice. Which sucks, my team is pretty good and I like my job, but I'm not taking any risks.
>>
>>102417505
why not stop being a pussy and make a case to your boss why LeetCode is retarded? If he doesn't come around just fake the results.
The entire LeetCode big tech testing crap is basically math competitions for tech fags and has very little relevance for 90% of tech work.
I hirer fresh grads on about 20% skill/experience, 80% being a non-retard who has the ability to learn and won't quit within 6 months.

>>102417658
>why not stop being a pussy and make a case to your boss why LeetCode is retarded?
it's not a case of proving to bossman that LeetCode is retarded in terms of yielding a go/no-go signal. it's an emotional comfort thing, totally illogical. ironically, my boss is a physics PhD so you'd think he'd be ostensibly objective and open to fact-based conversations, but "LeetCode" provides an emotional security blanket in that other Tech (TM) companies do it, they're money printing machines, so it must be a good idea to do it. it also gives plausible deniability when you make the wrong hire,
>b-b-b-but they did so well on the LeetCode assessment! surely they just need more time to adjust

it's fucked and i'm not gonna be able to fix it as an individual, it's a systemic issue in the field of software in general.

boomers operate on the concept of business consensus. We have switched software solutions before solely because it is industry standard. Does it save us any money? No, but they can capitalize the cost, so it doesn't matter. Waiting until their favorite linkedin influencer shits on leetcode would be a better strategy.

I'm so blackpilled bros. I have two kids and a wife who refuses to stop working. I have to do scramble to get work done in an OK way and also raise my kids properly. When I try to prepare for interviews, I feel like I have a massive handicap, because I have maybe an hour every other day to study, and I'm exhausted by then. Otherwise I have to eat into my sleep schedule to have a vague shot at anything not mediocre. I am an excellent coder, one of the best in my line of business, but I can't pass a fucking interview because I can't grind neetcode fast enough or autist grokking shit properly. If my wife stopped fucking working, I would actually be able to have a chance at getting out of mediocre (for my 10 YeO) 130k job. At this point my only hope is for a job boom if orange man wins again to ride in the easier interviews and maintain my performance to keep the job.

now that i think about it mine has refused to hire more drafters for a few years now and is pushing more and more drafting work onto the subhuman engineers that don't know a runout from a cylindricity and look right past any and al (M)s as if they never existed. so my drafters tend to be more greybeards.

IDK what to tell you, although I'm on the other side of wife working (ie refuses to consider going back).

So instead of the fatigue of additional child duties (of which I'm still the guy between 4.30pm and bedtime), the fatigue is from the mental budgeting of trying to get through a fortnight while this shithole backwater country (NZ) turns into New Zimbabwe.

Maybe it doesn't get better for guys like us, IDK, maybe we just get to wait around and wait for someone else to be the first one to drive a bulldozer through a government building.

I genuinely want us to be successful but only as far as keeping a fun job. I don't have real authority but have a big influence.

I could convince the CEO to fire the guy but it would be a bitch to find someone else, I'm sure this guy knows it too. He is a consultant so perhaps he needs monetary incentives to deliver on time.

Yeah those are the only roles I've been applying for, as my clearance is arguably my greatest "skill" at the moment. I've interviewed for two of them, got demolished in one, felt I did pretty well in the second but got rejected. Second one boosted my self esteem desu, I think someone was simply better than me, and that's fine.

One of the senior engineers at work has started gaslighting me, every time I ask him a question now he adds to the end of his answer something like - "you probably don't remember when I told you about this before since it's been a while."

do you take notes when you're told things? also do you take *good* notes? a junior accidentally screen shared his notes from an hour meeting i had with him and they were the dumbest shit.

A fair amount of people at t50s have similar projects as you, plus they're good test takers and have stellar resumes. My freshman roommate had been programming since he was old enough to read. I saw him contributing to FOSS before I even know what that was. He was also a national merit scholar and got a 35 composite on the ACT. Saying these people can't outcode the median coder here, who's lucky to be working on CRUD apps for the government, is a cope.

Hey guys, graduate Aussie Dev here.

Had internships at uni and have been at my first job for nearly a year at a rate of 90k (AUD). (Slightly below the average for a new grad where I live)
Hitting my one year and they have to renew my contract (they already told me they want me, boss is happy with my work, and I have great performance reviews).

How do I prepare for the negotiation? Should I be ready to walk if they lowball me? I want to get up to at least 115k (again, AUD not US) am asking for too much or too little? Please help

I used to be a part time tutor back when I was a semi-NEET. It is hands down the best job I could ask for if you ignore certain annoying clients. It was extra comfy during covid when I tought remote but the kids noticeably didn't pay attention. I even remember several times hearing video game sounds in the background or intense clicking.

There are indeed smart women, that doesn't mean they are not factually less competent on average. Their brain literally has measureably less neurons in certain critical areas compared to males.

He told me to pivot my career by getting jobs that involve the shiny new things. He would keep track of what the new technologies that would become popular were and get a job that involved using them. This way he'd always be employable. So he started his career at NASA, but he went into web dev and having 20 years of experience in web dev alone, he is unsackable. Now he's working with AI stuff. He also told me the market works in cycles. He told me outsourcing was the big thing, then people got tired of dealing with Indians and they started bringing jobs back, now outsourcing is the new big thing again, so hopefully people will get tired of pajeets soon. Stuff like that. Maybe this sounds very basic to you, but I am only starting my career.

its a cover letter bozo, unless you're applying to some kind of higher management position, the recruiter will just quickly glance at it and look for keywords.

and clearly your time and effort is wasted since 18 ""quality over quantity", "doing things properly" and editing them by hand, customising each to each company and role." cover letters later, you only got 1 interview out of it.
>>
>>102423721
>look for keywords.
nope, they will look for red flags, cover letters increase your red flag surface, best to exercise your Miranda rights.
Also, seems like you have nothing to show for 200+ applications, I would consider twice before taking advice from you

I'm a different anon though and employed. I'm also involved with recruiting. Cover letters at best do nothing for me, at worst if I see a typo or something that is not aligned with my beliefs/incentives then application takes a one way hike to iron mountain
>>
>>102423799
Well based on my experience of sending out hundreds of applications over the past few years, I've had a much higher success rate with interview invites when I provided cover letters (if they were optional), and numerous times have recruiters mentioned things I've put in my letters during the initial interview.
>>
>>102423795
Randomly and incorrectly changed program configuration on one of our production servers, which made a bunch of shit fail if a client happened to connect to it.

Not as big of a deal as when another pajeet stealthily and subtly raped our records in one of the database tables, which went unnoticed long enough for restore to not make sense. I had to fucking manually compare with last sane backup and fix it by hand.

>fresh graduate

My cover letters are under 100 words long. Nobody's gonna read that shit. I say what I can offer and why I'm interested in that position. Takes me literally 1 minute to tailor my cover letter to any application, it makes me stand out and isn't a book, so they can read the whole thing in 10 seconds.

See, this is your problem: You believed him.
You didn't think him stupid or blasé enough (or incorrectly self-assured) that he'd have it and tell you he doesn't.
And yes, he'll argue that you're at fault, even after it's found.
That's what bosses do. That's their special power.
That's what they do to employees, that's what they do to clients, that's what they do to suppliers.

I have to be honest, all the ideas i have in my head are centered around gamedev and novellas. I do try to spend my waking hours studying software testing, webdev, and python, looking for webdev, data analyst, and QA job, but when it comes to make an actual project, i only care about maintenance and can't really come up with something on my own. Is there any actual chance I'll get hired in the first place? I am willing to pass technical interviews, and i know that a tech job is mostly building a CRUD app, but it's that enough effort to build a career out of? What's the point if i don't like what I'm doing and can't force myself to grind into it?

If someone gives me an assignment to make a game in a month, i would spend a day to design it and get it done in a week.

If someone gives me a month to build blog website, it would take me 6 months to design it, another 6 months to make the diagrams, and 6 years to actually code it to the end.

Introducing the hashtag#Desperate banner

There’s been a lot of discourse about how the hashtag#OpenToWork banner puts off recruiters and hiring managers, because it makes you come across as desperate.

Frankly, as a victim of redundancy, I am desperate, and I don’t think that’s anything to be ashamed of.

Being laid off doesn’t reflect a lack of skills, talent or work ethic - it’s just bad luck. No one should be embarrassed that they need to pay their rent and bills, support their family, or feed themselves.

Wear your hashtag#OpenToWork banner with pride, because to me, it just shows that you’re strong, resilient and optimistic - qualities any employer would be lucky to find.

I have to get a job before May. Im still figuring out what should i study for the rest of the year and start applying on january. What do you suggest? Ditch webdev (the usual html, css, js react and node fuckery) and python, and stick to C# and Unity? I can try learning .NET, at the very least. I dabbled in unity for the last 2 years, and surprise surprise, all the existing unity jobs are rare and pays like shit.

Along with a software testing course from udemy, I bought the angela yu webdev bootcamp course back in july, but i forgot that odin project exists. I did have 12 months experience as a mobile tester though, at least that's something on my resume.

Would it look bad that i can only tolerate a QA job and keep coding as a hobby because i can't really build anything professionally?

I'm speechless. I've done everything I could to collaborate with them, I kept asking for feedback, I kept showing the state of advancement, I kept asking them if they were satisfied or if they needed me to change anything. I'm just an intern but there goes my chance to get recruited by this company I guess, it's over for me.

can't speak to the actual masters courses, but in my undergrad senior year, when i was taking courses crosslisted as grad courses, the GT classes were pretty good. depends a lot on your concentration, though. which ones would you be going for? from what i see, the only ones worth a damn are computing systems and high performance computing. maybe scientific computing, too, i guess. i highly recommend the systems one
>CS 6210 Advanced Operating Systems
really good, but will depend on your prof
>CS 6241 Compiler Design
had a horrible professor for this and didn't learn anything. easy A, though. YMMV
>CS 6250 Computer Networks
mine was mostly just a single, semester-long project. you'll get out of it what you put into it
>CS 6290 High-Performance Computer Architecture
favorite class i ever took. i learned more in this one class than i did entire years prior. cannot recommend it enough

hey guys, I'm smarter than everyone on my team, including my bosses' boss. I'm from the 3rd world in Europe so I started at a lower position to get my foot on the door. I´ve risen a bit and I'm definitely doing a lot (which I do quick, because I'm experienced enough to do things fast and good).

So much so, that I'm working about 4 - 8 honest hours a week. I could probably reduce it even more if I put my mind into streamlining my job even more.

Anyhow, any advice here? I'm trying to start a side business with the leftover time, but it's slow and I'm scared I'll be losing my skills over time because of how easy everything is at my current job. I'm afraid moving up the ladder will mean heaps of work for not that much of a reward.

Should I focus on my own things, even if it's slow, and keep the "ok" salary or look for something else? I haven't been interviewing, but from seeing my colleagues and others in the industry - I could easily triple my salary if I make the right move. I'm scared that this could also leave me with no time to make my other business happen.

In the end, are you working and learning to become a better employee or to have your own independence? I'd say that I'm looking for the latter, in order to mitigate any layoff that might happen.

Anyhow, thanks for reading my blog post. If you have any advice, it'd be nice.

>>
>>102427781
I wrote the letters myself (volunteered to) for two of my bosses (direct and skip) and I can't remember if there was a third or not. I'm sure they'll ask you to write the recs yourself and they will just upload to the portal or link or whatever you send them.

Who gives a fuck about GitHub.com/trending ???
And a fucking webdev sandbox?

Put less news link. Remove everything in that webdev-centric "Software Development & Programming". Add more practical links on interviewing, architecture, resume writing, job application, system design etc... that are language-agnostic.

We are here to increase our skills and ability to get a job. Not to read the news or solely do webdev

how the fuck does one get clearance? In the past I have applied to jobs under the assumption that its a background check and that by applying to a job that needs it they will do it for you. However they either never reply back or tell me that I need a clearance for the job and go with someone else.
