Posted this a few threads ago but it was near the limit so looking for some more replies. I’m a junior dev with a bit under 1 YOE with Java. the pay is pretty bad (like 60k) but I kinda got lucky with this job and I’m still a pretty shit dev (haven’t even made a crud app before). It’s a pretty old app that still uses Java 3 in some places so I’ve been able to get by. I’ve been gradually getting into more advanced technologies in my own time but all in all I don’t have the skills to hop to another company unless I get lucky with a boomercorp like this one.
Once I hit 1 YOE I’ll be eligible for a promotion at my current company for a 80k salary, but the downside is that I’ll have to wait for a job posting to open up and then apply to it. I have no idea when that’ll happen but another team in my company has a posting up for a more modern C# position. I’m considering applying even though I’m a couple months short of the 1 YOE mark because this is the only posting I’ve seen in months. Should I bother? Also, C# isn’t as popular in my state. I looked up the job postings and there’s like 5k C# postings vs 30k Java postings, so I’m not sure if it’s worth switching to C# when I still haven’t gotten passable with Java yet. I can’t keep living on 60k though..
Maybe I can go for the C# position and if I get the offer ask my manager for a promotion so I can stay in the Java team? On the other hand maybe I could use some modern experience

>How are (You) securing your job

>>102612041
C# is kiss of death. C# devs make below average pay.
$60K is what I made my first year too. After two years, I applied to a new company at got $85K. Word of advice. Master the old technologies the boomercorps use, because they get stuck with them and can never let them go. Your compensation will be way above average simply because nobody else can do the old shit anymore. You're basically an air traffic controller gray beard, but you have your whole career ahead of you to milk it.

Y don't we just liek get eachother hired and form the anon mafia?

Today's lc is pretty much about linked list. Can you solve it?

>>102613489
basically a global map and a type cast

I only worked in a single startup, my while experience. I just wonder how do you guys work? What a the the issues/tickets for features that you usually work on? Are they usually shit that you can completely finish in a couple of hours(assuming your full potential)? Are they a part of a big feature that your PM devided to multiple people? And can you for example provide some of the last features you worked on(with a generic description) and how much they took?

what should I use for auth
is auth0 worth the cash at startup scale or does keycloak just werk?

at my last job it denpends. a lot of tickets were 2 lines changes. and then some were big ones, would take a week and a lot of clarification. like one for me was implementing exempted overtime for certain job roles. the pm sucked and didnt give enough detail so I had to clarify a lot of stuff.

Is this not just a map and two linked lists?

>>102614449
>map
Elaborate.

>>102614475
I think he means std::map. I.e., an associative array. C++ tends to have annoying nonindicative names for things

>>102614449
HashMap (or Dictionary in some languages) and two heaps

>>102614189
Nope, I’m the same and I’m employed.

>>102614561
Yes but something else has to be used in this task as well.

>>102614563
>two heaps
That's not O(1)

>>102613789
Worked in 3 startups, 2 acquistions, 1 was unicorn status. The most successful has a extremely competent PM and engineering manager / lead duo that can communicate product requirements very clearly and then translate to concise tasks on Jira or w.e. platform for the eng team. Never underestimate the importance of somebody who can translate a product feature into actual piece wise steps that makes sense.

>>102614609
Yeah, you're right
In that case, I think you could do it with three hashmaps and a linkedlist
1. hashmap<string:int> - each string and its count
2. hashmap<int:set<string>> - each count that has at least one string at it and the strings at that count
3. linkedlist<int> - all counts that have at least one string, stored in order
4. hashmap<int:linkedlistnode<int>> - each count that has at least one string and that count's node in the linked list
Then also store references to the first and last node in the linked list
It would be a pain in the ass to write all of that, but should be doable

>>102613718
Are we still pretending hash tables are O(1) for everything? This must be why everything is slow as shit nowadays.
I solve it with a linear search through an array of {string, count} pairs. It's O(1) because the array is statically allocated and of fixed size. More strings than the size of the array is not supported.

>>102615124
Idiot here so maybe I'm missing something, but what happens when a new key gets incremented/decremented to the point you need to reorder the linked list, moving that key one node over to the right/left respectively? Finding that node in the linked list has O(n) time complexity as you may have to iterate through the entire list.

Second problem with this is the last linked list, if you have 2 keys with the same count you'd get a key collision so maybe that should be hashmap<int:array<linkedlistnote<int>> or something

>moving that key one node over to the right/left respectively? Finding that node in the linked list has O(n) time complexity as you may have to iterate through the entire list.
That's what hashmap #4 is for. If you know the exact node in the linked list, most standard language libraries have O(1) operations to remove and insert before/after.
>Second problem with this is the last linked list, if you have 2 keys with the same count you'd get a key collision so maybe that should be hashmap<int:array<linkedlistnote<int>> or something
Well, that's a hashmap, not a linked list. Linked lists can have multiples of the same value. But yes, you would have to update that hashmap, and that's what I meant when I say it would be a pain to code. Whenever you inc/dec a string, you'd have to keep all of the hashmaps in sync:
1. Change the count value for the string in hashmap #1
2. Move the string from one count's set in hahmap #2 to the new count's set
3. If you're adding or removing a count, then also add or remove it from the linked list using the node stored in hashmap #4.

No, because LeetCode has absolutely nothing to do with software development
It’s good for making sure the fresh college recruit you’re hiring actually paid attention in college so he MIGHT make a decent SWE somewhere down the road, that’s it
But that’s a secondary signal, you don’t actually give a shit whether he can vomit out chapters from CLSR from memory, you only care that they were motivated enough to learn it in the first place

If you're the eldest kid your aspirations in life should be whatever makes the most money while most secure. If you can tolerate programming, then stick with webshitting, Java, or helldesk.

Quirky creative jobs like gamedev, design, animation, or illustration is for spoiled youngest sibling whose parents buy them everything and letting them be. They can safely pursue their dreams and work lowpaying jobs in the first 2-3 years because they still get bajillion allowances even in their 20s.

When the oldest kid are scraping away climbing up the ladder being a bootlicker for their bosses' boss, the youngest kid gets an opportunity abroad and making a name for themselves as an instagram/tiktok creator.

well you have to consider SWE is also a waste of a CS degree for 99% of devs, I mean it helps you get an interview but wageslave programming is almost entirely unrelated to academic CS curricula, ditto for security which is a lot of paperwork and legal shit
>>102616946
if you have a CS degree don't dick around wasting money on certification, just practice infosec interview questions put yourself out there and start interviewing, if you bomb then study a bit and try again. it is not hard to get interviews out of college with an undergrad CS degree

I am an SRE and I hate it. The worst part is I don't get extra for being on call. I regret doing this degree and should've jumped off the bridge when I was brave enough to.

why not just lateral to SWE I feel like any SRE should be able to get up and running pretty fast provided they are taking their ADHD meds

I'm well aware of the jack of all trades/master of none viewpoint but if there is any thing I will do in this life it will be to push the boundaries of interdisciplinary knowledge in these fields. Unsure whether to go the academic route or private research route. Any advice/general direction?

The career aspiration thing is very helpful, because I wasn't sure as to how to explain that I'm not going to stick around if it means the next 3 years of my job experience will consist of "answered phones and took messages."
At the moment, I'm a full-time contract employee, doing network and back-end support as a managed-services-provider.

He wants me to become an employee, which means shittier pay, and shittier conditions. I know because he abuses the FUCK out of his staff.
I mean, the person just quit a week ago from the burnout.
They're constantly getting screamed and cursed at. I think he has a drug problem, and so, the first half of the work day is him being angry as FUCK.
I've avoided this fully, as I do WFH most of the time.

Depends where you QA at. If it is some shitty web app and all your tests are manual clicks then yeah it sucks. If you are a QA in NASA or something then I bet it is more fun than being a dev. Where I work, all the QA people are network engineers. Their tests involve simulating traffic scenarios, HA scenarios, mass upgrades of systems. In my opinion they are more skilled and smarter than our DevOps faggy glorified script kiddies.

This is just making me reconsider my major.

At the very least let your manager know you're feeling like shit because of an event in your personal life. Up to you if you tell them, it might be better to let them know if they are open to listen.
It's gonna be much worse if you don't make the deadline, you tell them you were feeling like shit and they get angry because you made them think everything was okay with you.

In my thirdworld hellhole, webdevs gets paid minimum regional salary ($300) a month. Other jobs that isn't tech pays $100 a month.

So I'm a Senior SET codemonkey with several YOE, mostly Java. Creating, expanding, maintaining automated testing frameworks, majority of experience is in backend testing, a lot of testops-y work with build test and deployment pipelines as well. How hard would it be for me to pivot into a regular Java SE role? As in - I know the language semi-comfortably, I don't scratch my head at every other issue I had to tackle, but I am well aware that tests and testing frameworks are a separate cup of tea from regular feature and dev work. What would be the gaps I'd need to cover?
Way more job offers for dev work than testing, I'd like to have some more job security over the next years.

This is probably one of the most humiliating things you can do.
I would literally rather shit my pants in the office than get black out drunk at a work party.
If you can't handle your alcohol then you shouldn't touch it at all.

90% of companies with IT teams have a handful of people that have been there for decades that keep the company running and a constant stream of contractors/college grads rotating in and out to make some dipshit higher up feel like he's on the cutting edge of tech

Eventually those handful of people keeping the company running are going to retire or die and the company will have to deal with the fact that critical parts of the business are reliant on a mess of outdated and wholly non-compliant components.

It's so fucking baffling seeing teams working on ai chat bots and ai data analysis or whatever while major parts of the business still rely on fucking internet explorer, prod data on unsecured share folders, and executables sitting on a single person's computer written decades ago

Learn something common lisp/clojure/whatever obscure language, and offer your services to an american company at something like half of what american developers charge.

Good testing is possible even if it's a shitty web app. If your customers are using your product by doing manual clicks and paying a lot of money then manual clicks can be very important. The absolute worst fate is following predetermined scripts but if you actually have agency as a QA/tester then it can actually be an OK job, day to day. See

I was basically unemployed but receiving a massive check because no one understood what I was doing and no one who did could fire me
I lost my job not because of my own incompetence but because the business lost millions on some pajeet code back in july and they fucking fires thousands of workers at random to make up for it
now im stuck looking for jobs in this terrible market because no one wants to admit who the actual problem is and are treating me like a pajeet

Start with the understanding that if you are creating and maintaining automated test suites you are literally doing software development, just not the software that the company sells exactly. Software that supports the quality of the moneymaking software

Starting framing is it as however many YOE coding in Java and whatever framework. Senior experience will look good especially if you've managed other SDETs, testers or whatever

I work with a dev whose first couple of YOE was as an automation tester so it's possible

I graduated a year ago and couldn't find work, began lying on every resume, used chatgpt to cater each of my resumes to the positions and all that shit still barely get anything back.

Now I have a fucking unpaid internship
Guy baited and switched me saying I'd do web development
instead I've been designing UI/UX for a month on a mobile app that is using AI / ML combined with AR to do a bunch of shit like finding needles in a haystack based on wherever the fuck the last guy found one.
I wanted to quit on day one.
My mom started crying saying I dont want to work hard or someshit
nah I just want some fucking money or at least work on something that'll become a real product to put on my resume.
but this shit is literally never going to exist. He doesn't have money to pay anyone, so he has less than half the money to train the AI he wants.
The team was 4 designers, 2 hr, and the indian ceo who keeps changing his mind on what he wants.
Today I learned he hired two more HR people
Then he hired more indians and women, some are both. I'm the only one who isn't one or both.
I wouldn't have a problem but the two indian girls on the team already do fucking nothing.
Then today he left me in charge of introducing these people to the app design
No one rose any concerns about the fact that this shits not going to be possible on the non existent budget.

I feel like if I wasnt doing this I could at least work on shit that I could sell to people.

what the fuck should I do guys.

I wish LinkedIn just had a "filter India" global filter. I dont want to see postings from Indians and I dont want to apply to jobs with Indian recruiters.

>>102627049
ceo is indian
we own you faggot bitch

>>102627049
currently sifting through and every time I see an Indian recruiter or poster I insta X the post. I'm not getting my information stolen or deal with that shit.

>>102627049
LinkedIn is absolutely worthless as a job board. Only use is for recruiters to contact you

Can any sysadmins tell me if they enjoy their job? Or if it is comfy?

I've only ever done software development but my masters degree has network administration tied into it. I would happily sneak my way into an admin position if it would be cozier than a dev role.

>>102611230
recruiter spam is starting to trickle in again, we're so fucking back
I have a feeling 2025 is gonna be insane

As a contract junior back end dev that takes forever to complete tickets, how do I ask for a pay increase. I make about 65k right now and I almost always do paid overtime to try and get my tickets completed. I'm complete new to the field and I fuck up often. Do you think it's smart to ask? How much should I ask for? They recently extended 6 months. I think I missed my chance to negotiate.

>>102627700
its comfyness really depends on the company. SMB with a boss and owner who listen and users are pretty cool is max comfy. SMB at a lawfirm and become everyone's bitch boy is maximum uncomfy. MSP where you are everyone's bitch for multiple companies and your own workplace is hell. Sysadmin tier at a large firm inside a silo can be grueling in terms of lack of stimulation can be the worst oddly.

the only way to get a real raise is to job hob

>>102627757
after 3 years of convincing people it's joever now the market will recover just as they finally fall for it
just as planned

>>102627801
>I am incompetent how to get a raise
you don't

>>102628023
>you don't
trick question you wouldn't get one anyways if you were competent, and even if you did, you bet your ass your company is scheming to replace you with someone that is "cheaper"

Ok thanks anyways I sent the log files can you pass it along to Product Group, otherwise Ill need to escalate to your CSAM and give you a 1/5 survey.

have you ever had to work on a bullshit product
have you ever had to shill it

>>102628136
>escalate to your CSAM
bro, that doesn't mean what you think it does

>>102628023
If they are extending my contract then I at least want more money. I admit I'm slow since I'm still learning. Maybe it's because I am cheap. I know the other devs are making at least 80k.

>>102628148
other devs are better than you
what you want is irrelevant, the only reason you haven't been fired is probably because your manager wants more devs under him to increase numbers

>>102628147
Ok my CSAM whatever, point is some white chick from America who makes 5x the engineers pay is about to make his life hell

>you appeared in 8 searches this week
>top job titles of your searchers: school teacher, customer service specialist, business analyst
What? I only have one job on my profile and it’s a dev job that I’m employed in

I clicked a reddit link at work because I was looking up how to do something and that was the top result instead of stackexchange. am I gonna get fired?

Fuck that dumb bitch, be glad she left you if she was willing to leave you. Now you can focus more on hotter bitches and more skills and more money

Idk why guys get so upset about hoes, if you have a decent job, aren't fucking hideous, and have a modicum of social skills you can get a gf pretty easily

Then where do I look? LinkedIn at least has postings from legit companies with logos and details.

Indeed is just text, and if your lucky, it might relate.

YCombinator is a shit show too.

Asking since I've been looking for something between tech support and dev and it's been harder to find anything decent nowadays.

>>102611230
OP, I want to change from dev to a cloud type job.

I have worked as a dev for about one and a half years. I worked in tech support engineer positions for 3 years.

Do you happen to know what certs would look good for AWS and Azure?

>>102628789
Get at least the second tier certs, don't even bother with the entry level ones

>>102628721
Don't share retarded opinions on the Internet if you don't want to get shat on for them, retard.

>>102628838
Thanks do you happen to know the names? Asking since I saw the azure fundamentals one but didn't know there are higher tier ones.

>>102628903
That would be mega awesome. Why would you apply for H1B and wait for years? Just enroll in WGU, work your job in the meantime, and get a free green card 4 years later.

Please give me an advice
What to do if my previous work experience is... unimpressive at best? Or am I thinking that way because I already got familiar with it?
First job was a shitty low-code platform writing scripts in TypeScript for modal windows, text panels to do as scripted, no real/serious calculations was involved. I wasted like 2 years there.
Second job (current) is a little better, at least we have version control, databases, writing tests.
But most of the job is
A) Client company gives us their API for their payment gateway, and we just kinda bind it to our own via writing dlls
B) Client application identification, and again all the tasks I am getting are just shuffling png files here and there, they don't allow me to actually work with model that will learn on these files
Barely any architecture discussion until it's too late and we realize we can't do it our way. Absolutely no fancy technologies that are necessary in job descriptions (message brokers/microservices/monitoring frameworks)
Hell we don't even use asynchronous programming. I mean, we use it I guess, but it all comes to just slapping await in front of an async method and to call it. No threading, no deadlock issues, nothing that other employers actually want.
I do try to learn these things myself, but then again, do I just lie in the resume that I have experience with them?
I'm really fucking stuck, I do get interviews but I fail all of them because in every interview they ask something that I am hearing for the first time

fast food workers make $60k salary in cali now by law. but you have to pay $3k month rent to not live in the ghetto so its all relative.

The only difference between me and you is that I didn't stutter lil bitch. WGU night owls make 6 figures, more will soon. We are intelligent. We will be your bosses and coworkers. You will seethe about it. You will mumble things under your breath about "real devs" with your gross, forward neck posture, mouthbreathing subhuman looking self. We will glance over and ask if you are ok, and then calmly tell you to get back to work before you get your ugly, fucked up face punched in. You will go home and write something about your life story that not a soul ever gave a fuck about or ever will on 4chan. Now get the fuck out of here you ugly ass mouthbreathing fuck.

stop projecting, but keep coping, AGI is well within your life time

wgu shilling here again

yep totally worth it get a fake scam degree and no one will ever take 2 seconds to google your alma mater. if theres one thing that you want to do in this job market its take out loans for a scam school in a massively shrinking industry

Horses for courses, really.
For really small projects, a static global instance can work fine.
For larger ones, I go for dependency injection, although from impression, it doesn't feel different to how service locator is presented there.
I've never used the service locator pattern.
New local instance for special cases, where you want an object with a very specific configuration (e.g. a JSON parser, that also does X, Y and Z).

This, I make 15k in eastern Europe, and I don't have a degree so it's all over for me. (No, there's no such thing as WGU in the EU.)
Living here is a humiliation ritual.

I feel like "don't go to a university that runs ads on tv" is obvious. Apparently this is actually ancestral WASP Old South knowledge, by all the 1st gen immigrants I know who "went" to something on the level of Full Sail/WGU

>>102629978
generally speaking "don't consume anything that advertises more than a little" is a good idea. there is a little bit of a legitimate "I didn't realize such a thing existed" benefit to ads but for the most part people advertise because they lose word of mouth customers at a higher rate than they gain them

I asked in the wrong thread and I’m sure you hate this question but should I bother learning to code in 2024 if I want to try to land a job in a year or two? Or is the whole market just fucked now. I need to decide if I should go into trades or not.

>>102630047
No

NIGHT OWLS... ASSEMBLE!

>>102630047
You should learn to code, but it won't get you a job.
Still, it's not that hard to learn, and it's absolutely everywhere so you should learn it just to better understand the world you live in.
Plus, who knows, you could end up making something worth selling.

>>102630214
>it won’t get you a job
I would never presume that basic knowledge of coding would get me even an entry level position. I assume I will have to network my way into anything. I’m just hoping there are still jobs available in a year or two or if I should invest more time in learning a trade.

Is anyone going to actually explain why shouldn't I go ahead and grab a "smart boy" certificate for *cheap* from WGU? Or are we all pretending to be ivy league trust fund kids here?

>>102630302
