just threw up in my nose.
Let's circle back to this thread next sprint
>>102656827You're a brave soul Anon, better hope they don't see this as a sign of weakness which they can use as a premise to sodomize you for an office prank.
I completed my first ticket ever today. It was awkward since I'm a junior but in the end it ended well and the product owners were satisfied.
>>102656874cado is the contemporary faust
>>102657027our last junior did zero tickets in his 15-month tenure. we no longer hire juniors.
>>102657277sounds like you suck at hiring lmao
>>102657277None of you bothered to train them?
>>102657027Nice work, anon.
>>102657277based junior>>102657412training is a bottomless time sink that has never really taught anything. competent juniors will self teach if given a few examples to look at
So another guy from helpdesk resigned, the guy before him did too, the other ones before them were fired because the shit ass manager didn't like their personalities. Now our helpdesk is one guy that got hired 6 months ago, I sure wonder what's gonna happen.
>>102657443have you tried paying less?
>>102656980Do me a solid and remind me in the morning standup, I'll put it on the board.
>>102657443Why haven't you resigned?
>>102657441depending on the role, i think often there can be a lot of benefit from following someone experienced around for a week or so
learn to shovel dirt and pick tomatoes you whiny faggots

we need to require pay stubs to post in this thread. 100k MINIMUM.
>>102656826>tech workers demand justiceTone death
>>102657921Aw man I only make $90k. Can I get an exemption or maybe grandfathered in? It's hard out here for a mechanigger.
>>102658022you can be accepted on a 12 month probationary period. i am also a meche and i and all of my coworkers make over 100k, you need to up your are game.
>>102657921Agreed.
>>102656826Another day, another useless LinkedIn message from a Pajeet recruiter.Fuck this market.
I just reported a recruiter for harassment on LinkedIn. Why there isn't a block company button I don't know. It was the 8th time they asked about the same "part-time" contract position that pays less that McD in my area. Any chance something bad happens to me or them?
>>102657921I'll never be able to post itt cuz im a thirdie
>>102657518Be seeing you
My last day of work is Friday. By this weekend I will be free.
>>102657921I make 100k in san francisco and live in a 1 bedroom apartment with 3 indian roommates
Why don't more companies hire remote european engineers? The average central/eastern european programmer I've met is 10x the average American/Indian programmer I've met, and I'm American. If I ran my own company I'd incorporate it wherever is easier to hire European engineers and then just run the whole company remotely. No cost of office rent, white coworkers, it sounds ideal to me
>>102658437euro laws prevent the exploitation that happens to India.
>>102658469wdym
>>102658422>I make 100k in san franciscoHow'd you fuck up that badly? Are you a part-time barista or something?
>>102657921I make $190,000 base, probably over 200k after bonuses. They gave me some stupid ass stock options that will never be worth anything too
>>102658173>>102658188>go to linkedin >there's 2 relevant positions>go on indeed>there's like 80 what is the point of this website again
>>102657489Yup I put a ticket in the backlog.(it's not actually tagged properly so it won't show up but I'll be sure to spend 10 minutes during standup trying to dig it up)
>>102658489India allows external companies to contract at will with minimum regulatory oversight. Without going too deep I'll give the example that European health care must be paid through taxes. Setup for that is complex and/or expensive. Look at Lemon Squeezy and their rates to understand how much it is worth to companies. >>102658522Making up bullshit articles about work culture. Indeed is dead in my area and it makes me sad.
>>102658591Could I just incorporate the company in Ireland or something
>>102656826How about FUCKING PROGRAMMING instead of marching in the street doing nothing. You all have LITERAL SUPERCOMPUTERS in your backpacks. You are asking the government to let the monopoly give you basic income, while you provide 0 value to them. Why not just ask the government for UBI.
>>102658650If it was that easy you wouldn't have a ton of companies working out of Delaware.
>>102658683There are no programming problems to solve outside of large companies who can afford advanced and novel hardware. Aside from fiddle fucking around with your DE and package manager or making "GAYYYMEESS", seriously what is there.
I'm in uni and have to take a Network+ class. How much of a pain in the ass would it be going from CompTia labs to learning enough to pass the CCNA?
Need to vent. I recommend never to get a roommate even if shit costs too much. My roommate is currently withholding signing a lease because he doesn't feel like signing the lease. No, it's not because he wants to move or not room together anymore, it's because anything that's a contract he refuses to sign and you basically have to twist his arm over 100+ times to make him sign anything. Doesn't matter if he read through it. Doesn't matter if it's the same thing. He just flat out refuses. I don't even know why I still room with him if he's this much of a jackass about it.
>>102658786>>102658728
So realistically, what the fuck happens at 2 years with no job? Tried plugging the gap up with fake jobs too and nothing. Just fast food until I die now? Great stuff. I hope every technical recruiter dies horribly.
>>102659052Learn to weld (underwater if you want to make money)
>>102658752local APIs can get crazy. See ESRI for an example. >>102658786quite a bit. If you are interested do it anyways. Network+ is trash. My CCNA expired and I have no idea of some of the trash in the Network+ syllabus. I also have my network+ because of some stupid crossover stuff... or I had to pay them money to buy it because of another cert. Anyways, it is broad and focuses on some very old shit. Pic related. It is cool stuff that shouldn't be included on a a beginner network cert. For any network engineers out there: Is Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away relevant in 2024 or has everyone collapsed to the 4 layer model?

>>102658437pretty sure i read somewhere recently where an american company fired its employees and did just that
QA Automation Engineer here. Ask me anything.It's been 1 month since I switched to a bigger company and a higher a salary.
>>102659115Hardly, mostly getting under my skin and pissing me off with his paranoid shit. I do have the irrational fear he might try saddling me as the sole renter and dipping out. Though, the moment he does that then that just kills the friendship.
>>102659139does it ever get better?I was told I was getting a dev job and basically got swindled into thisI would quit, but the market's shit and it actually pays decent, especially considering how little work I do
>>102659315It does not get better unfortunately, bigger companies tend to be more chaotic and with more shitty pajeet-tier automation code.If you get paid well and are comfortable then stay unless you get a better offer

>>102659139How stressful is this position? I'm a backend dev and I fucking hate it. It's too stressful and I am too retarded. I'm going to interview for a QA automation position on Friday. I honestly forgot I applied to this position.I don't know if you had any other dev positions, but if you did how does it compare?

>>102654447angular is such a plague its hilarious.
>>102660391migrate to kubernetes bigot. you'll never be a real agile devops company without kubernetes.
>>102660140>How stressful is this position?Depends on the company, for smaller companies it can be non-stressful up to mild. But bigger ones impose more stress.>I don't know if you had any other dev positions, but if you did how does it compare?I have not worked a dev but I can tell you beforehand that there's no comparison. Any dev position looks way more stressful than any QA one. That's from my experience with 3 companies as a QA and talking directly to devs

I always joked about saving money, quitting job, buying a car and traveling around until I run our of money and then driving of a cliff.With every passing day, It no longer seem like such a bad idea.I don't know how you guys do it. All the money is world doesn't offset the crippling depression and feeling that's it all is just pointless. I've tried starting to drink too, but that doesn't make me feel any better either.

Almost finishing my first month at this job. First tech job too, with no experience. Prior to that I was a zogbot for 13 years and worked as an infantryman. Like the good goyim I am the only experience I have is a home server, a resume I polished the fuck out off and a degree in cybersecurity from AMU I never finished and instead decided to switch to math and philosophy instead. Currently got my network + scheduled for December after taking some of the prep courses from AMU, which were nice. They taught the basics. I’m doing good bros, the job doesn’t pay much but there’s tons of opportunities, no secret clearance (can’t get a gov job anymore because it’s highly competitive) but they have tons of NDAs I had to sign prior. The insurance is great and we have to work in the office due to the tech we utilize. My coworkers are also other vets but from different fields, more technical ones and former commissioned officers unlike myself. Two roasties and two cool dykes are in my team, the rest of them are normie vet officer bro that like shit anime like myheroacademia and one piece. I have not revealed my true power level yet and everyone’s engaged or getting married, except for one roastie. So I lied to them and told them I am engaged, but the truth is I just finished an affair with a 44 year old roastie with 4 kids. I have no other dating prospects nor talk to women. So now, they’re having a get together in two weeks, and I said “my fiancée and I will go” what do I do bros? I just downloaded tinder, bumble and okcupid. If else fails, should I just hire a call girl to play pretend?? If I fail at this job it’s literally over for me and I am trying to play office politics.
>>102658437Eastern Europeans have cultural issues. The post-Soviet mindset results in them pretending everything is okay when it is actually a complete trash fire, in an attempt to fix everything before anyone finds out and save face. They don’t react well to criticism or openly discussing structural issues. They also often just lack any experience in making anything good because fuck all good products come out of those countries. t. gamedev that worked at a Polish company. It was based at first but the cultural problems eventually came to light. The shittiest code I’ve ever seen came from that place and the designers had extremely limited taste in games.
>>102663687It's getting better with newer generations.Space Marine 2 and Baldurs Gate 3 was made by Russian devs, AFAIK
>>102661362having unit tests does not mean the software has been testedif anything, projects with large unit test suites are less tested on average because the unit test suites give a false sense of security even though they do absolutely nothing
>>102663704Yeah well my friend, a designer, works at a Russian game studio and they sound like the biggest pile of mongaloid I’ve ever heard of. I wonder how much of the staff on those two games are actually American/Western European.
>>102663785>Russian game studioNo wonder, Russians are notoriously bad managers. Could be because the managers are still generally from the older USSR-born generation, while devs themselves were born after USSR stopped existing.

Really hard to keep talking with my unemployed friend.Very bitter and obviously jealous of everyone else in our circle. Has had a few interviews here and there, but continually bombs them and refuses to study or lie about experience like everyone else does.Is this how all you unemployed losers are like too? Starting to think the market isn't bad, we just have a bunch of delusional retards.
>>102664194The market is certainly worse than a few years ago but it's still easy to find a job if you're competent. It'll still take a few months but if one's been unemployed half a year or longer then it's them, not the market.
>>102664194I think it's bothright now the company I'm working for is just straight up not hiring juniors because market conditions but also because the current generation of post covid grads is awfulgenuinely some of the worst new grads I have ever worked with>massive expectations for salary and benefits>job hops to insane degrees (not even 1y rule)>not humble at all, thinks their stuff is perfect and everything else is shit>as shit as always except now it feels like most just gave up on learning and treat their role as a chat gpt async client>despite all of this they turn around and give the whole "junior job roles should have no requirements and train you on the job actually :)" spiel online/r/cscq ruined an entire generation of programmers
What language should I write my work in to avoid having “support transferred to offshore team” aka having my work poached by jeets? I figure it be anything too esoteric. I was thinking C++

>>102658522Indeed also has the majority of those 80 relevant positions being fake.
>>102666032and that's why instead you hire people with 5yoe for a junior wage.
>>102666025This. Soviet descendants whether they're Russians, Ukrainians, Polish and whatnot were raised in the authoritarian households. They don't match Western culture.
>>102666159Where does someone with 5yoe go for a non-junior wage?
>>102666032you see everyone must be completely trained on everything so they can fit every requirement of every role and hit the ground running. holy FUCK I hate job hunting in this shit hole

>>102666261Yeah those are illigal. If you actually think you're on one you can sue and get a ton of money.That's why big companies don't allow people to even give references. They just have an external contractor tell new companies when your start/stop dates were.

Theoretically speaking, if I wanted to leak some embarrassing information from my company to the public in order to shit on some jeets, how well would I fare against a Data Loss Prevention software like CrowdStrike Falcon ?From what I could find on the internet, it's only monitoring for HTTP(S) egress and (maybe) USB devices, however it doesn't seem like there's much information about its DLP capabilities on the internet.I already planned most of it, I'm packing the sensitive information into an archive with a password, breaking the archive by replacing the first 4096 bytes and backing the bytes up separately, putting the sensitive broken file inside another archive that has legit files, etc. I only need to figure out the exfiltration part. Not sure if I'm overdoing it.
>>102666569Like I said. *If* you (plural) cared about software quality. No one cares.
>>102666689I think posting about it on an internet forum might be your weak link
>>102666032I like to think of it as job security. Show the upper managers that kids can't do anything any they can't replace the seniors. They're an easy scape goat.

How do you guys exactly put tech skills on your resume ? You can go in details about what've you done in your previous jobs for some (AD user management etc...) problem is that if I do that for all of them my resume looks like a block of text, and just putting skillsbuzzwords at random mean nothing (If I put Docker for example it can go from "I know how start docker xyz service" vs "I can build one from scratch"), what's the best way to do that ?

>>102658683Yes, rent seeking is how people stay rich. Retard.
>>102666977You have to make use of buzzwords and also specify what you did with your knowledge and what positive impact it had. Ex.:>Designed and created Docker compose files for the fast execution of Anon's Web Application encapsulated in stateless containers
>>102666977Do two columns. (I write mine in HTML and manually set the column breaks with block divs to do this.)Inside the skills section I break it down into categories (programming languages, linux programming, embedded, web programing etc.)I target some European sized paper with zero margins because you get an extra inch or so. Everyone bitches about it but hires me anyway.It's better to break out the most important stuff first and put that at the very top IMO. Even if it means you repeat a couple things.
>>102667189Why are you filtering by city if it's remote?
>>102667189LinkedIn is fucking useless. Complete waste of time IMO.
>>102667250He meant >filter to specific cities + remote
>>102667250I look for remote only positions and then hybrid/on-site jobs in specific cities I'm interested in. >>102667265It's pissing me off. That's what I think of the damn site.
>>102666696I’ll take the worldwide standard over your made up 1970s wannabe workflow stack thanks
>>102667265I made an account when I was ~17 because boomers said I needed it. Then I realized just looking at things can spam all your professional contacts and never opened the site again. The thing itself is a scam and it will only be full of the kinds of desperate people that tolerate that which isn't helpful.

>>102665925What is the difference about saying you got a wage over saying you got paid in equity?
>>102667265every “industry insider” my professor brought in to talk about the job market made it sound like people without linkedin are unhireable i should’ve caught on to the fact that these cretins actually charged the school consultant fees and were from local literallywho shops riding the meme train back in the NFT boom
>>102667387Anyone can sell equity in their startup. It's worth nothing. So if you're working on a side project you haven't monetized you're not even lying.
>>102667200>>102667212Got it thanks, and what about if you're targeting European / remote companies that don't use the American format of resume, how would you guys go about it ?
>>102657921i make $2800/m because i'm turd worldernot indian, south americanit's actually somewhat decent down here
>>102667533I don't know why you would target European companies. That seems silly.
>>102667568Got dual citizenship, might as well use it
>>102667556lmao arHentina tier
>>102666717>>102667130Nope. It's not that big of a company and the entire infosec team is full of jeets, they ain't scouring internet posts for this kind of thing. I was just wondering if someone here works with CS Falcon and knows the extent of its DLP capabilities, everything I looked up was behind locked down whitepapers, marketing puff pieces, and that sort of thing that provides no actual technical information Cringe redditors say it only monitors HTTP(S) egress and USB stuff, but the posts are 7 months old

>>102667556Its pretty weird how my friends in SA got their jr. jobs before even graduating, they are actually just making software, learning on the job, having fun, etc...meanwhile here in the US we have to dance like little monkeys for 4 years to get a useless paper, then graduate with a huge fucking debt and be unneployed for years until some fucker gives you a chance.
I'm pretty sure sooner or later I'm gonna get fired for talking back to upper management but I just can't help it, I have zero respect for authority figures that do not respect the rules they set.

>>102667556same, earning $4k/m south american as well
>>102667640yeah lol, it's chill. of course with lower pay comes lower stress, less competitiveness, etc. my first startup job i got it because i made a plain html blog thingy with flask and mongo and that impressed the ceo enough, in 2019.
>>102667664What's your tax rate? Because that's not much less than what I make after taxes and """health insurance."""
>>102662665>I don't know how you guys do it.Lol I'm not doing it I just watch YouTube and shitpost all day. When I feel like maybe I should do something I go to a bar and spend an hour hacking together a half assed PR.There's no reward for being capable so just enjoy what you can.
I seriously hope no ones working on Rosh Hashanah
>>102667672Man I kinda envy you all. I really don't care about being paid peanuts I just want to work making software.
>>102667792mad true. I joined a company and saved their ass for a year straight while their other staff sat around or slept through meetings. my reward was being on the chopping block because I spoke up about it.
How many more scout badges is it going to take to escape help desk
>>102667815you could easily get a job in my area with these bro wtf are you doing?
>>102667838NTA but I have all of those and I'm not even getting interviews for min. wage helldesk
>>102667757No tax here, my country doesn't have regulations for remote workers (yes, it's THAT SHIT)
helpdesk is going to be blown up by ai voice shit.
>>102667815>>102667853Where are you looking for job offers?
>>102667838I have only been working help desk for 6mos and before that I worked at costco which paid much better and had better benefits.
>>102667868linkedin and indeed.
>>102667664that's good bank, i'm hoping get a raise to 4k next year. hope you're saving and investing, piss easy to live under 1k down here.>>102667810i know a few americans working here. it's not china-tier "white monkey" where they hire you for nothing but since it's a smaller pond, if you can't make it in the usa you could make it down here.
>>102667886>hope you're saving and investingyup, thanks for the advise anon, got an apartment on airbnb that give me the extra moneys
>>102667864Ai voice isn't going to be able to understand the retards who call help desk and describe a router as their tvs cable box and think a firestick is the remote control itself. I had a guy who had plugged a firestick into a roku tv and had lost both remotes the other day.
>>102667859So you're actually ahead of a lot of Americans then.
come to dc...and once you get security clearance you get 120+ easy
>>102667877You need to work on your linkedin profile.The people responsible for of giving you a chance knows next to nothing about tech. You don't have to impress the tech lead or the senior dev, you have to aim for the normie audience.I only have some meme udemy certificates and after doing some research and actually reading a book about how to improve your linkedin presence I started getting offers and now I work as web dev for one of the top companies in my country.
>>102667864lol you wish. the boomers and morons in my office cannot put batteries in their mice. how will AI do that? How will ai kiss the as of c-suite fags? they need people to boss around and ai won't cut it.
>>102667929But then you have to live in dc, a nigger infested statanic swamp
>>102667925why are you doing home "it" support like this? are you an indian working for amazon?
>>102667957the commonwealth of VA is right across the river (where I live)
>>102667957It seems like Alexandria had some major White flight since Ieft. That or a ton of spics and niggers moved in.
>>102668007That's not really an improvement. Especially NoVA which is everything wrong with DC but somehow also lamer.
>>102667864When my previous job changed from a simple phone tree to an AI voice assistant satisfaction with the callers went down by a fuckton and management blamed the phone representatives not educating the callers on how to communicate to the AI voice, then when they made mandatory to educate them, it went down even lower. Then they blamed the callers for not apologizing for their experience, then they finally started the talks about reverting the changes after a year.
>>102668053It's just suburban sprawl with Asian ghettos and White flight for miles and miles and miles.It is easily the most stressful and depressing part of Virginia while also managing to be the most expensive.
>>102667981I work for Telcos and they have "cable tv" which in todays era means an app on a firestick with liscenses to stream live televison networks. Boomers are the only people who buy cable tv so it doesn't go very well because they are too stupid to understand the concept and the type of person to watch tv in the first place is already a little slow in the head. Old niggers understand how streaming works better than older white people do because they at least know you can use tubi or pluto or a digital antenna to get free shows if you have to watch ads anyway. Ypu still hear their smoke detectores beeping but they at least knowthe core concept of streamimg. Boomer white people are pants on head retards with their brains completely rotten from 50 years of watching sports being their primary recreational activity. The more fun calls are the fixed wireless ones where I notice the tower outages or misallignment or that a printer (always hp) is acting as rogue dhcp
>>102668007Virginia fucking sucks. I would never live anywhere on the east coast again having lived in Maryland and seeing how shitty everything from new york to sc is.
>>102668159Maryland is even worse. It's just redneck Indianhead or nigger Baltimore with practically nothing in between except fucking Bethesda which is entirely populated by glowniggers.
>>102668202Also none of retards know how to drive.
>>102656826You're brown
>>102668230stop addressing my briefs directly on a public forum
>>102667925yeah that's ok. they don't have to.
>>102668202I was basically in Delaware and lived in Northeast so I went to the microcenter near king of prussia, went to cowtown in new jersey, went to hershey, went to the gay "beach" in delaware, went to sheandoah, went to niagara falls, went to nyc, went to myrtle beach, went to charlotte, obviously went to dc, baltimore. I'm from Arizona and overall I hate the east so much its fucking unreal. I would rather live in new mexico than virginia and if you have been to new mexico you would know what an insult that is. Most of all I hate the trees. You always feel like you're trapped inside there because visibility when driving is never over a quarter mile and on either side you're blocked into a hallway like the borders of an n64 game. Then there is the clouds which are constant and opressively low adding to the feeling of clastrophobia. I would rather live in the panhandle plains of texas north of amarillo than on the east coast.
Finally got a job for a decent company bros, 50% wage increase from current shitty one, hope the company I'm leaving burns to the ground, piece of shit manager classical case of "nobody is irreplaceable" but got mad when I told him I was out. Been looking since January and even applied to shittier companies, but glad those ended up in nothing.
can't get a tech job and can't get a minimum wage job at the supermarket eithermight as well kill myself at this point
I'm in a demo for a product with this indian lady explaining it to me and I think I'm getting a crush on her when she rolls her R's

>>102668330>Most of all I hate the trees.What the hell?
>>102668461What do you even want a job for? At this point all they're good for is getting your mom to stop bitching at you for being unemployed.
>>102668609Keep trying bro. It always feels desperate but it's numbers game and to win you need to keep playing.Me now is thankful to me from the fast that he didn't give up.
>>102668461Get a 'tech job' working for some boomer's small company. It will be barely above minimum wage, but it wall help a lot on your resume.

>Need to get projects on my GitHub>Never motivated to finish personal projects unless they're coom-related
>>102668609I have read so many of these emails that I no longer feel anything. I know its bullshit, either the job didn't exist or they are politely telling me I'm shit.
can you eurobros stop applying to our tech positions already?we already looked into it and while you guys would be a lot cheaper the amount of red tape and other BS it would take to hire one of you is just not worth it, emigrate or work in your own damn countries and don't waste our time.
>>102668765Does your job listing actually say "US ONLY"?
>>102668710You'll just be sitting by yourself in front of a computer wasting your 20s.
>>102668791no, it's not US only, just no EU which I don't think they are allowed to say

>>102668650They constantly block your view so it doesn't matter where the fuck you go because it all looks the same. Camping in shenandoah was just camping in the same fucking trees as in my backyard. Then the 'scenic overlooks' where they cut the fuckers down only provided maybe 3 miles of view onto you guessed it more dilapitated ugly houses just like you see everywhere else there. Nothing to see here folks. In my state you can go through 4 biomes and 8,000 ft of elevation change in a few hours and there are constantly changing distant views unsoiled by habitations. The east is disgustingly overpopulated and the people there don't know it. Pennsylvanias "farmlands" were like of disneyland made a tinytown version of nebraska. I'm talking 2 acre cornfields and houses no further than 1/4th a mile from one another surrounded by more grain storage than they could possibly produce for some reason
>>102669265Yeah the Midwest is definitely better. I miss living there.
Finally got an offer, almost double of what I was getting paid before. Getting laid off honestly was good because it gave me 2 months of being unemployed to grind leetcode and system design
>>102669361I really needed the time I spent unemployed.During my weekly coffee get together someone (who didn't know what happened) said I looked way healthier all of the sudden.

>>102668528>Bros is it retarded to make something that would treat excel files as ui for database?It is not, and that already exists, it's called CSV, there are database adaptors for it in such way that you can query the CSV as if it was a real database table.The only concern here is the race condition in which the file gets updated by multiple users at the same time, that's normally handled by the database engine. IDK how the JDBC -> CSV connector works, I presume it uses a locking mechanism which you can implement yourself.The other way around would be to make an Excel plugin that connects to an actual database engine and query the data as if it were, IDK, MySQL Workbench. I'm not versed in Office/Excel plugin development but I presume it won't be easy but pretty fun to say the leastMy aplogies for my autistic post
the work force is filled with hyper extroverted mega normies who enthusiastically went to college and do gay shit like that all day.
>>102663725Deluded take. It's only true when retards think an easy metric like "coverage" is something to shoot for
>>102669672I could have sworn excel actually had a button that would let it connect to most SQL databases.

Is it normal to not have tasks? I work remotely and sometimes I may not have a task for a week. I work like 2-3 days most weeks. I'm worried I might get laid off.
>>102669999dang that's crazy. i just hit approve.
>>102667146I'm in the same situation. What's the best course of action? should I raise a complain to my manager and ask for work?

>>102668609You just die or settle for retail, help desk, another field. The industry is stuck in a void of catch-22s because obviously you can't get experience without being given an opportunity to get said experience, and they want you to have that experience in order to get the job that will give you that experience.
>>102668140I don't know how actual cable providers work, plus I'm Canadian so Bell (not just the #1 market share holder but also most other cable is just their services rebadged) and they still use set-top boxes. Granted, they do effectively work as an oversized firestick, but still.But yeah to get back on point, the only people who still pay for cable are boomers who are slow in the head (even crack-addled over-aged contractors just get firesticks or roku TVs off of amazon already) and bar operators who NEED to get the full suite of actual first party ESPN channels for high profile games that aren't streamed on other services and have exclusive rights to the commentators.I tried briefly to break into AV and IT "consulting" for service industry here, and that was the hurdle, every time. No matter what, it falls back to "some boomer is going to come in, ask for channel 616 by name and number to watch the Blue Jays game, you'll have me put on some stream but it won't have the right banner at the bottom, so they'll get mad and leave"I know of one (1) bar that just said "fuck it" and got a roku box, and I've seen both sides. the younger crowd likes being able to put on literally any show they want, but boomers tend to order one beer and then seethe and leave in a huff when they can't get sports.>>102669800that functionality was shifted to Access 10,000 years ago and Access is deprecated in favor of whatever Azure thing replaced it.

>>102669999People like your senior are very common, and you will never win against them without outright bypassing them. The only solution is to place yourself in a position as far away as possible from him. Inevitably he'll end up chasing every other employee away from that part of the codebase. You don't act that petty without anyone and everyone hearing people shittalk you behind your back 24/7 either. Best to keep out of the blast radius
