I genuinely can't wrap my head around the fact that there are people out there who enjoy management positions, just thinking about it feels me with pure dread, non stop meetings, a lot of stress, long ass hours... Hell no.
>>103006737These are the kind of people who just like to talk endlessly and never stfu.
>>103006721I made like $60k after graduating college and felt pretty rich... But that was 15 years ago
>>103006759last friday some guy in my office spent the entire afternoon, from 1pm to 6pm in back to back meetings. He probably stayed longer, I left before he did. I would genuinely quit after that.
>>103006721I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and will start working again soon. kinda nervous since i quit stimulants and will have to raw dog the new job. i hope it's not too hard to find motivation when i start. every day i say i will brush up on my new tech stack and then i do fuck all.
>>103006802just caffeinate and masturbate
Is anyone here a full stack developer or otherwise has a working knowledge of next.js and nest.js? If so could I please add you on discord? I would really appreciate it.
>>103006788I think we share an office. Our guy is the reason why the meetings take so long.
>>103006802>will have to raw dog the new jobwhy do gen Z speaks this way
>>103006721>early pajeetcode thread >op filled with curry grifters You really are scum huh? Just know that you deserve everything bad that happens to you
>>103006802just smile and fake it until you make itand obviously study to fill the gaps
>>103006781I made 60k at my first tech job and felt like i was getting screwed then i watched these ig reels (@/salarytransparentstreet) of street interviews of the average persons salary and didn't feel so bad but knowing that other people in tech made way more than me right out of school sucked ass and it made me hate going to work. I rather do warehouse work for 60k.
>>103006721kys for implying europe is good and for hijacking the OP again
>>103006817sorry idk i honestly hated having to type that out but couldn't think of a better descriptor. maybe "sober" but that feels too serious for quitting adderall kek
How do you guys deal with constant bikeshedding?
>>103006857Warehouse work fucking sucks, it is literal fucking hell, being in a warehouse, particularly a chilled warehouse, with the shitty radio blaring throughout, standing up for hours, and having low IQ managers constantly bare down upon you is literally what hell is like, it is a depressing existence, everything feels hopeless.
>>103006889couldn't care less
>>103006889ignore or encourage it if they ask.
>>103006902>with the shitty radio blaring throughoutWhy do they do that? Sometimes I hear the extremely loud shitty pop music blasting through our walls, I can't imagine having to listen to this so loudly all day long
>>103006737bossing people around gets me hard. simple as>>103006802start abusing sudafed lol
>>103006721As an American I wish I could make even half of that doing something that I didn't hate.
>>103006962>bossing people around>"Hey michael how are you doing? How was your weekend? The kids are doing well? Hahaha! Yeah the weather is so crazy man, any update on that one ticket by the way? Alright great!"You're not bossing anyone around you're just a talking barbie
>>103006902I guess it depends, I've worked at USPS, FedEX and Amazon warehouse. As long as they allowed headphones I didn't mind, shifts flew by quick. Amazon didn't allow earphones and it sucked way more than the other wagie jobs. Mindlessly moving boxes as a job was not bad imo, retail and working with customers is a million times worse.
>>103006781I struggled through an electrical engineering program that was basically torture because it was supposed to be the "highly paid degree field" and now I make $65k a year in 2024 money. Lol.
>>103007052That's what you get for listening to unemployed retards on 4chan
why do retards who have never looked at their tax stub love to pretend taxes are good for you
>>103006958Appeals to the retards perhaps who sing along to that absolute dog shit music, it feels like psychological torture, it is the same shitty songs again and again every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. All of this while working in one of the physically most uncomfortable and unfulfilling roles possible. I have a degree with a decent grade, I have a good depth of knowledge regarding business and accounting, ask anyone from my co-workers at my work to the professors and teachers that I did not get along with and they would tell you that I am obviously intelligent, yet the only work around here is shitty fucking warehouse jobs. The only way out I feel is the learn to program so that I can build my own marketplace/data/software company.
>>103007072Kys underage aren't allowed here
>>103006737I got slowly forced into it, went from solo, to having a great junior engineer working with me, to having him and 2 pajeets in India. I do not like it all.>>103006788I had a melty when after I started the day at 0800 with only my standup on my schedule to spending from 0900 to 1600 in calls, a VP who was in MANY OF THOSE SAME CALLS asked at 1601 why I hadn't assigned tickets from those calls and gotten time estimates from my guys yet. Luckily he realized as I started my rant that if he got me going he was going to pay overtime (I'm a consultant) for me to tell him he's an idiot, so he interrupted with a "oh right, you were in calls all day, my bad. talk to you tomorrow".
>>103006958Listening to music makes menial tasks more tolerable. It worked great on the farm, though we were always playing the rock station back when the modern half of what they played was still good, and not the faggy shit like "welcuuuuuuuum to suffocate citay", "you and I are always gonna be magnetic", "I WAS SOBER NOW I'M DRUNK AGAIN", etc. >>103006992Hey anon, I'm gonna need you to come in on saturday, okay? You still haven't filed your TPS report.
>>103007083in an ideal society, those who don't work would be let to starve to death
>>103007107>never worked a day in his life
>>103007119I have worked even before I was old enough to be legally allowed to work, and have worked up to 2 jobs at the same time when projects overlapped
>>103007072Who says taxes are good for you?Income tax is universally hated but in a democracy the common people have no way to change anything so they just accept that they exist under a form of tyranny and stop thinking about it.
>>103007242retards pretending that they'd get taxed more in the US on their 160k salary than in any European country with their 60k salary
Forgot gym pants and now I can't enjoy my daily ritual of lifting heavy at lunchtime and enjoying the Pajeeta stares post-workout. All life is pain.
How do I get energy to work if I don't really feel anything anymore? I NEED my income but I'm making money too slow and I think I'm getting pretty bad anxiety and depression. My mind constantly feels like straight molasses...
>>103006818stfu boomerfag
>>103006889go ahead and craft the finest bikesheds you can. most of the code you create over your career will disappear into the void so just get paid and do stuff and don't stress.
>>103007276Accept that you will never be nigger-rich and your life will never be like a Busta Rhymes music video like you desperately crave. Develop a reasonable hobby like reading or smoking tobacco and be happy that you didn't die on some peasant war from some guy stabbing you in the throat with a pitchfork.
>>103007268how do you workout during your lunch? i always find i need at least an hour and 15 to get my shit done.
Non-technical middle manager, I've been tasked by upper management to monitor the number of PRs, Jira comments, and tasks completed by the devs each sprint, and to take action if any engineer appears to be underperforming (ideal metrics are 1 PR per week, 1 jira comment per week and 1 task completed per week)How should I approach this? Should I call a meeting with each dev and address the issue of not submitting enough PRs? I'm not very technical, so I'm concerned about how to handle this without getting negative pushback from them...I swear to God this isn't bait.2 devs so far chewed my ass saying these metrics make no sense.How can I explain to my manager these metrics make no sense?
I would kill every single one of you with my bare hands if it would grant me a Green Card.
>>103007357My gym is about 30 seconds walk from work which helps, I keep rest periods to 60 seconds tops (this doesn't work on heavy day unfort), I do a PPL program so don't need a dozen different exercises for each body part, can get it done in 45mins.I also save cardio and mobility for when I get home which would absolutely blow the schedule out if I tried fit it into work hours.
>>103007394lmao those metrics make no sense
>>103007426Ok.Now imagine you're me, how do you explain to my manager (even more non-technical than I) why these metrics make no sense.
>>103007472Have them watch Busta Rhymes' hit single "I'm Gettin' A-rab Money"
I am working on a project, if you are a full stack developer I would love to talk to you and I would happily to offer equity in my company and cash if you were to help me. I have done the research, I understand the business, the customers, I have formed a business strategy that I am confident with, the only issue is my current partner who oversees the technical side of the project is taking far too long to complete things which should be relatively straight forward, he insists that he understands what he is doing, I have given very clear instructions, but it seems he is having trouble with the workload and implementing some of the ideas, and this rough patch has hurt his motivation I think. I think an extra pair of competent hands and some fresh eyes would be invaluable right now. I am attempting to learn the technicals to help him or develop some of it myself, but I can't do everything myself and I think it will be a while before I am sufficiently competent. Please let me know if you are able and willing to lend a hand, I will fill you in privately about our project if you provide me some form of contact, ideally on discord.
>>103007394those metrics are arbitrary, but not highyou need to be technical to measure performance. and know if a dev is taking too long on something than they should.those 2 devs who said they make no sense, as in they are too high, are probably low performers imo. if they mean they are arbitrary, they are correct.how are you a manager if you can't code?
>>103007508drop an emailI joined a startup months ago as a dev. got offered CTO soon after as the previous guy was just like your guy. rn I am heading development and turned things around, launching soon. can lend a hand on the side.
>>103007394the metrics make no sense, maybe be more intentional on grooming and focus on making sure if possible that work is broken down such that that's the minimum.Like what is the error they are correcting for? I'd portray it as a way to make sure"we are breaking down stories such that we are able to complete one in a week on that format" and encourage devs to figure out ways to break them down in grooming?being a manager seems like hell
>>103007472I have zero context buddy, but I can tell you that software productivity is a very complex topic so I suggest you read a book about it You should measure (non-retarded) goals like implementing a certain functionality instead, assuming you can estimate of course
>>103007551Thanks man, you sound like just what I was looking for, my email isrobbob1415@gmail.com Its an alt for sake of privacy, but I am active on it, I will give you my main email address in my reply. I look forward to hearing from you.
Laughing my ass off at all you lazy WFH saying 1 PR 1 comment and 1 task complete per week is arbitrary and can't be used to judge underperformersit absolutely canus folks form the unemployed thread would be willing to complete 10 PRs 10 comments and 10 tasks per week if it meant we got the job, even if it was total bullshit for show shit made just to please middle managers
>>103007394You work with your engineers and make them understand that it's you (together) against the managers and you figure out how to make it work. Bosses will fuck you over for any (or no) reason. Underlings will fight like lions for you if you treat them right. Remember that.
>>103007707I finish around 6-8 tasks per sprint and the equivalent number of PRs, how is 1 even questionable
>>103007472you should ask your devs for feedback, not here.in the end, a non-technical is never going to be able to accurately judge the performance. you need to get them to give you feedback on each other. or if you really need to, get them to agree on a number of points for each task or something.
>>103007707Jeet moment
>>103007707some PR's are large. I once spent 2 weeks on a 300 sql line ticket. the undocumented schema made me waste 2 days.
>Get attitude for no reasonWhy are you higher tier teams so mean?
I just found out that my advisor wrongly suggested that I was finished with some of the requirements and I'll have to finish school next fall instead of this semester (I go to a very small school). I accepted a return offer at a pretty large FAANG company with a start date in May. I'm kind of panicking right now and I have no clue what to do. My hands are genuinely shaking and I feel like throwing up.
Yeah the US is a completely dysfunctional shithole of a sinking ship but at least I get more money to spend on goyslop
>>103008209if you got the offer then who cares?also I'm laughing at your suffering
>>103006737I am a turbosperg and I can see why people enjoy it. They rarely have to do anything, they just talk, and talk, and take notes, and talk more.Me? I have to sit down, think things through, and fight the spirits of the computer.I am not saying I want to be a manager, I would kill myself if I had to attend that many meetings. But dumb people who get LE LONELY if they don't talk will find it much easier, because they are literally wired for that.
>>103008242I need to graduate to take the offer.

>>103008283haha, your fault for trusting others
>>103008283My company hired me knowing that I was going to graduate at a later date. What's the problem here?
>>103008300i am not violent just lazy
>>103008209>I'm literally shaking and crying and pissing and shitting and and andFucking man up and talk to your dipshit advisor, retard. The fuck do you think tumblrposting on 4chan is going to do?
I am constantly underperforming. I take forever to do my tickets. I'm trying so hard to keep up, but I'm too retarded. Actually last sprint was the first sprint I ever completed all my tickets on time. I'm on 2 different projects, and I'm struggling so hard with switching between the 2 especially since one of them has me doing things I have never done before. I don't even know what questions I need to ask most of the time. And when I do ask I feel like my lead dev is too technical. I end up asking another junior who recently had to do similar tickets for help and that actually helps a lot more. Usually I just end up staring at other repos and asking chatgpt to explain concepts to me. It's over for me. I can see it in the quality of my work too. I just start rushing shit out so I can complete it on time. I'm stressing out so bad.
>>103008414guess it's time for some performance drugs huh?
>>103008414Wow you're actually living through one of my nightmares. And I was hoping something like this was just a product of my anxiety. You will have to talk about this with someone you trust in your team if you don't want to quit. How long has it been going?
>>103008414>Actually last sprint was the first sprint I ever completed all my tickets on time.Sounds like you're on the way up, anon
Wtf? I make 65k/year and I'm far from being "rich". And it's Portugal by the way, pretty much the cheapest country in Europe. With 60k/year you can barely afford a fucking T1, not to mention you will never buy a house because it is almost impossible nowadays.That's pretty much the reason I'm trying to relocate to the US. Salary in Europe sucks massive cocks.By the way, any eurocuck here who moved to the US to work? Was it too hard to get a job? How "hard" is the job compared to Europe?
>>103008457>>103008491>>103008557I just started around 4 months ago. The first couple months I actually almost quit, but I stuck with it because I had nothing else. I was starting to kind of get used to it and I finally met my deadline for once last sprint, but now it's just back to not knowing shit and being thrown in to the fire.I already mentioned I need more guidance to my scum master/manager and lead devs, but no one really has time to help me except the other junior I mentioned and I think he's also stressing out. I don't wanna bother him too much either, so I usually just type my questions in the team chat, but I honestly don't understand wtf they're saying.And a lot of times it seems that I'm actually supposed to be doing something else and my tickets need to be adjusted, but I don't know how I'm supposed to know that initially especially when I am doing stuff I've never done before.
>>103008630The best way to transfer is to get an L1 visa and have the company apply for a Green Card the moment you get transferred. Portugal and Spain should have a lot of USA multinational due to their position. Going there with the H1B visa is nearly impossible.
>>103008649post ticket and we'll help you :)
lol this $100 wireless keyboard i bought is terrible.
>>103008321>>103008457>>103008694(You) the same person? Are you just pretending to be retarded or did you not find the unemployed gen?

>>103008355alright, let me rephrase that to>fried brain amerishart in charge of not relying on amphentanyl to not "muh neurochemical imbalance" the whole place
>>103008720i'm only one of those. what do you expect me to say?all he can do is stop being a retard or accept that he doesn't have what it takes for the job
>7 o/e>Dislike current job/workplace.>Want to find a new job.>Apply to 71 different places.>Get only 3 interviews>didn't get called for the technical interviews even though I was told to wait just a few days to schedule them.>"Sorry anon, we just selected a new candidate">Apply to 30 new places.>nothingIT'S OVER, isn't it?

Why do they not want middle aged workers in tech????Cant be pity.

>>103008982I'd take £60k in Britain over $210k in the US. He'll I'd take £40k over it too if I could live in another European country (Britain is a shithole, though not as much as the US).
>>103009396stuff in the uk is cheap but even 60k in pounds strikes me as "livable, but precarious"
Good IT jobs for a weird retard? I'm ok working L1 hell desk but apparently my experience and training aren't good enough. Do I *really* need a CISSP and Top Secret to work at Concentrix?
>>103009443CISSP and Top Secret for a hell desk job? I really woudn't be surprised if those were actual requirements.
>>103007670emailed
>>103009467Well, the last one I even got a call back for was for a teacher's union, and they ghosted me on a phone interview at an appointed time. And being canadian, yeah, most jobs I see demand a clearance, though harping on cybersec certs and guild memberships seems to have fallen out of fashion.I'm "happily" employed in the CF right now, but that's a do-nothing government gig that I got as a young lass(male)(just a joke not tranny) and think I only got because I said I was a robotics club member did basic html webdev as a child and all kinds of shit like that in my "letter of intent" when I joined.

>>103009443Have you considered that the reason you can't get a normal job is that you're not a normal person?
>>103009443>Do I *really* need a CISSP and Top Secret to work at Concentrix?You do, because you'd better be that fucking good to put up with a retarded furfaggot
>>103007394Help them cheese the metrics tell them directly management is using this as a kpi, if a task is going to take to long turn it into 3 tasks, make tasks for trivial shit that can be resolved in an hour etc.

>>10300673790% of the time those people are doing nothing and they've isolated themselves from accountability so there's really no downside.
my defense job announced today that they're doing layoffs, about 6% of my site. I was spared for now. management said they laid off enough such that there wouldn't be multiple rounds of layoffs. they also claimed that there'd be no layoffs earlier this year. do I believe them?
>>103009976I know that this is an unpleasant trvth nvke that you don't want to hear, but if you are "too ugly for daring apps", you will never get a gf. At least not one that actually loves you. But at least if you work in tech you be a provider for some woman that wants to settle down, if that is what you're into I guess.

>>103010816Me too bro maybe it's just meant to be this way
Poor yuros they have to pay taxes and live in ancient walkable cities where they can safely take public transit to visit dozens of different countries and get over a month off for vacationing. I'll take commuting an hour a day in a cage, 2 weeks vacation, and crack infested inner cities anyday so I can have more money to spend on health insurance and bing bing wahoo

>>103010330Never understood the discourse around pic rel. She is basically saying he is not a douche bag fuckboy and that she likes his personality but yeah i guess she's kind of a hoe for being open to hookup with a d bag in the past.

>>103011199Nta but pretty much none of those exist in my lcol boomer infested shithole or if they do no one under 35 goes and before you say it I am trying to move but it's near impossible when this industry has imploded and there's no jobs anywhere
>>103011199>are there no third places in your cities? Not for ugly people.
First time interviewing candidates recently, I really underestimated how much coming off as an incel can really hurt you even if you know your stuff

>Anon who paid that IG onlyfans thot to accompany him to a work outing. Well you fuckers, we ended up going to the ren faire this weekend. It was a great time, I forgot my ID and she bought me drinks while we were there, we had a blast. We’re hanging out again this week. I have off Wednesdays and she’s coming over for lunch and to see my apartment. I didn’t talk to her out of stripping but we did talk about that. We also made out but no sex yet and she didn’t use me for betabux. We literally hung out all day yesterday and nothing of that sort came up. I genuinely think she likes me bros
>>103009976Dude, I literally have an entire saga where I paid an onlyfans IG thot to go out with me for a work outing. We’ve been texting since.
>writing project proposal>first time doing this>know exactly what I need to do to make this product possible>cheesed the timeline for my own sake>really don't feel like finishing this stupid report that's only going to be read once and then tossed to the side>still need to negotiate either my rate or equity in the product>really tempted to ask for $30k + equipment but 10% stake + equipment could be a good gambleEither way this report needs to get done for my meeting. Is this really all that freelancing is about? A slapped together timeline, negotiations, and shitting out a product?
>>103011464>>103011494No one cares. You're not a fucking celebrity with a "saga" just because you simp for a literal whore.Get out of your own ass, or leave this place. If you want to be a cool internet celebrity, there are websites made specifically for this.

>>103006737If you're a sociopath, management is a great way to make big bucks without doing anything. My manager doesn't do shit and he's making 1.5x my salary at least. If you have a conscience it probably eats at you because you're ruining the careers and potentially lives of everyone who reports to you, but if you don't give a shit and are really good at ass-kissing, you can just blame every one of your failures on your reports and burn through them, so long as you don't do it noticeably too quickly.

good morning sirs, confession time, I'm a senior good saar@F500 developing glorified cruds and still have no idea what sprong brings to the table besides slow ass startup times and untraceability>noooo, you can't use 'new' directly, @please@vomit@all@@@over@the@code and hope it worksthing is, I realize I must be dumb because all the hindu brothers eat up this framework like the finest mumbai cow dung but feels bad to be filtered this hard.
>>103007394I knew this is being tracked to measure developer "performance". With this system the rational dev is incentivized to write slop code as fast as possible and to accrue technical debt (not my problem). Also it is best to slow down your peers as much as possible by withholding information, giving wrong information and being extremely pedantic in code reviews and requesting changes multiple times, boosting your performance relative to them. It's absolute bullshit but the incentive alignments are completely messed up on every level of the company.
>>103013187rational devs are already managers, also, while bruteforcing works to some degree it is better to gather allies and convince others to gang up on the weak in a stack ranking environment. Also, this is probably expected by mgms and part of the unwritten requirements what does 'senior' mean in your title
>>103013227I've been offered a managerial position a few times but I've declined because looking at what managers do I would probably want to kill myself if I had to do it.
>>103013154you are not senior
This industry is killing my soul. I wish I could leave it but I need money
>>103013154Sounds like you never building a project with a goal of releasing to a wider public (so no, Pong or TODO post doesn’t count.Good luck using “new” instead of dependency injection
>>103009423£55k hereI feel I have a lot of financial security, savings, etc.You're not a retard with money, are you?
>>103013575how big are your savings?did you invest into anything?do you own property?
>>103006737I've been slowly pushed towards this kind of job even if I always stated that I don't want it. Now here I am, still managing my team long after the old colleagues/bosses have left the department.The only thing that's different now is that I enjoy ruining the days of non-technical people in the corporation. It gets me hard knowing that paper shufflers are forced to interact with me and my blunt takes. They hate it. The more blunt and direct I am, the harder their job is, because their whole existence depends on stuff moving very slowly. Calling them out on their bullshit is also something that I enjoy a lot, they never seem to expect it and there is nothing they can do about it. All they can do is to lower their heads, to stop using their laptop cameras during the next meetings and to lower their tone with me during further meetings.All these things are happening from my home. It's a decent life if you need a lot of money, not very spiritually fulfilling, but definitely worth it if you get high on power-tripping on retards whose lives depend on bullshitting their way out of anything and on passing responsibility to others./blog
>>103010760by square meter or by what metric? a small apartment in the US costs over 400K in a well connected city. if you compare flyover shitholes, europe is much much cheaper, but then again there's jackshit to do, 0 girls and you either have to drive 2 hours or order everything online because the stores in your city have literally nothing.

>>103013749so true, it's all about COL really!Posted from my 1800€ cold rent per month apartment, while the GP recommended me to take some Aspirin and come back for another visit in a month if my wrist still hurts.
>>103006737compared to what, participating in the daily humiliation rituals and getting chump change despite making genuine contributions to Goyporation's IP?
>>103013749You forgot that the europoor is taxed around 75%, has to wait months for a doctor's appointment with the great "free" healthcare (or just pay up from his own pocket kek) and will likely get stabbed by a brown person during the train commute (that is 50 minutes late). Oh and if he lives in a city where there actually is a job that pays 60k, he also will pay like 20k in rent (of the 30k net income that is left).But he can heckin walk to the store in his heckin walkable city so that makes it all better.

A fucking MRI? 99% of the time this shit is just a strain injury that goes away on its own, getting over-analysed and over-medicated so they can make more money off of you does not equal better healthcare lmao
>>103014031>be American>go to the doctor because your wrist hurts>get put on Ritalin>get put on SSRIs>get an appointment for "gender affirmation" surgery>total cost: $285kthis doesn't happen thothe thing I posted about literally happened, and I paid 800€+ every month for it>w-what did you expect for paying 10k a year for healthcare lmao just drink some water and take some painkillershang yourself
>>103014001>HR's idea of a group activity is that we all make our own horse tails out of coloured strings and wear them for a dayI am not joking.

ADHD, give him Ritalin>your ass hurts a little bit? here's some opioids >haha no no it's got nothing to do with the doctors getting kickbacks from pharma companies>the thing I posted about literally happened, and I paid 800€+ every month for itI have been to the doctor many times and if the physical examination shows there might be something that needs more than just rest and OTC painkillers, I've always gotten more in-depth examinations issued. What, you WANT stronger drugs and more hassle for something that goes away with some rest/time? You know that less medication (especially stronger painkillers) the better right? You're not supposed to pop pills if you can avoid it. Sounds to me like you had a RSI, the doctor ruled out anything more serious with a physical, and you got mad because you expected to get strong painkillers instead of getting told to deal with it for a while until it goes away.You can see the effect of over-medicating in the US, everyone there is on Ritalin, SSRIs, stimulants, and/or something else (often multiple at the same time) because doctors give them out like candy which easily creates addictions.

Why are you guys getting so worked up chasing pussy?Do you want to pay alimony that badly?
>>103014166>meanwhile all the options you supposedly long for are thinly veiled excuse to try to sniff out poon.

Doing that would sacrifice all the free time I have left for my real hobbies.
>>103014388>How does this even work357 other people also paid 140€ but didn't break their leg.
>>103006737They are people out there that willingly go to the office when WFH is available.
>>103014388In the US you also don't pay, and the hospital "negotiates" the 50k down to 10k with the insurance, which ends up paying 5k.
>>103014371because i am sick of reading your muh continent bullshit on a fucking tech workers thread
>>103013955any remote position you see on linkedin or indeed gets applied for by about a hundred people who could probably do the job, probably a few hundred unqualified people, and a few thousand indian or web scraper AI bot sent trash applications. any job where applying is easy as pressing a couple of buttons may as well not be appliable to at all, because in the end the hiring people will be looking over half of linkedin to find their manany on-site or hybrid position has probably 1/5th or 1/10th of these numbers. except the indian-based and web scraper applications. those remain a constant. the job being on-site in texas is no deterrent for a man living in india.to answer your question: it might help to get really creative around what jobs you apply for, ie. look for places that aren't even explicitly hiring, or their hiring portal is essentially hidden from scrapers. that's how i got my job. either that or just become a spammer like many others and go for the "0.01% chance times million" strat. >I'm tired of all of the humiliation rituals, I just want to workthe bad news is that the humiliation rituals are still on the menu for the foreseeable future. however i think there will eventually be some kind of regulated system to handle hiring, that allows individual merit to shine a bit more and allows spam to shine a lot less. companies feel just fine humiliating, ghosting and what have you with applicants, but they themselves feel the sting of the system they've created and actually can't efficiently find good help anymore because of all the spam and the application optimization (lying, gaming)
>>103014388The real question is, why does it cost $50,000 to fix a broken leg?It might take a doctor 1 to 2 hours at most. At a really high pay of $100/hour (how much do YOU get paid per hour?) this would only be $200. How much does the bandaging cost? $10 retail price, cheaper if bought in bulk?Where do the other $49,790 go??
>>103014448being a poor starving europoor making less than an intern in the US is tech worker relatedpeople who don't care about money can go to utwg
>>103014477>Where do the other $49,790 go??usually the bill is for 50k for some trivial task, but no one actually pays that much. i think the full amount is just some theoretical shit used to cook the books a bit and ultimately doesn't matter

>>103013725>a small apartment in the US costs over 400K in a well connected citynow google the equivalent in a european city, genius

>>103014567what do you mean by "go" you faggotyou negotiate the price down, and if you tell the hospital you don't have insurance they'll lower the price to 5k themselves
>>103014421This. Id need to get minimum 400k to be subjected to a cuck cube in an overpriced nigger infested city again and i dont even know how long id last in thise conditions. No i wont be a boomer suburbdweller with a humungous commute eitherRight now im /trv/ and coasting hard and i hope i never have to change jobs unless i decide to stop being lazy and do over-employed or something

>>103014664If a place like Potsdam existed in the US, a single room apartment would cost several dozen millions of dollars and Americans would slave away their entire lives just to be allowed to live on its streets. The average European city outside of maybe the Paris and London ghettos would be considered Shangri-La in the US, with prices to match.

>>103014394at least someone respects their timejust pay upfront if you really need that action, hell, make it a threesome or do some perverted stuff your regular entitled girl would not do
>>103014664this is germany, assuming half of the salary in the US, it's obviously taxed a bit higher

How do you deal with depression with corporate life? If I were unemployed I'd probably be the same way but even worse since I don't have money. At the same time dealing with a shrink just seems unproductive. Maybe meds but they won't make me me anymore. Like there's a sense of comfort that whatever I'm feeling now is pure. It may be pure sadness or pure anger but at least it's mine.
>>103014394>>103014739getting a gf is much like getting a job. either you spam applications and refuse to care about the humiliation, or you get one through a friend
>>103014664you pay almost double for everything in the US. you also have to add the cost of a car, fuel, which is way more than a gay ass public cucksportation monthly pass.the fuck do you win from being in the US? more mexicans?the rest is pretty comparable, you'll end up saving more or less the same on both locations

This is very difficult but how do you know if you're being a bitch or if you're boss is making you a bitch? I feel so conflicted with how I feel at work but I can't tell if it's internal where I'm just making things sound worse than they are. Fuck are there any books for this?
>>103014750I fucking hate this country. Everything I like to do is either heavily taxed or highly regulated or both. spent the amount of a small car + 2-3 years to get my hunting license and then get taxed almost 40% ontop of it
>>103014804that is exactly my point, these people are defending their respective shitholes when their situation is pretty much the same. see >>103014005
>>103014814Work's starting to take a bit more brain energy than I'd like. I wish I could just cruise but it always feels like my projects are going to shit and I need to do something but then my brain freezes and I'm like durrrrrrdurrrrrr starring at my computer but then I need to do something because my projects are going to shit and I enter that fucking loop and it's just frustrating.
>>103014778>casually glossing over the fact a german literally couldnt afford the mortgage on the property you listed, and also that 100k a year in germany is like top 10% incomewow at least u pay 50 cents less for 12 eggs?

>>103014848>a remote job implies it does not discriminate your paycheck based on the location, right on the money literally and figurativelyalso for some "100%" remote jobs you have to come to the office location once or twice a year.

>>103014388>>103014753to be honest as a euro, i saw a lot of inherent value in being european in terms of the social security and better societal cohesion, but nowadays, at least in my country, the government is dead set on being like the US in every regard except having the money, the resources or the opportunities. i have some schizo theories how this will pan out in the next decade>recession in both america and europe>european countries do what they do best, which is refusing to accept what is happening and trying to regulate out of it like "as per new law, we are no longer in a recession" which just makes the economy more retarded>try to import more workforce to make up for the aging populace, but no one ambitious wants to live in europe anymore so they just get people who are either incompetent or want to coast>economy flounders even moremeanwhile>the US recovers from the recession on account of actually being somewhat competent at handling them, and due to good resources, industry, etc.>sees europe with a massive number of young professionals who are fed up with their retarded gerontocratic governments>takes a huge number of them in>europe's economy shits itself even more because of loss of labor force, which means more retarded moves by the government, which means more ill-advised immigration, which means more emigration to the states>feedback loop until europe is a desolate labor camp to keep old people alive, and the US is becomes the least shit country to live on earth
>>103014885yeah I guess. I left my last job because I was the only retard doing work while my coworkers were just on insta but I just wish I had the drive or direction to get my projects done. At my point my brain's like "it's not on my table so I don't give a fuck" but then my boss acts like it's my fucking problem if I don't get it done and I'm fucking like what's the motherfucking point, this fucking team doesn't even want to cooperate.
>>103014892there is no such thing as a european, you can be swiss, french, german whatever, there is very little common between them. The EU is probably the most corrupted governing body and they hate the single most important thing there is: people having the freedom to do as they wish
>>103014911Lol all those places speak German and French and are basically the same or very similar people
>>103014864cool but its possible to own a house in one of them and not the other
>>103014902yeah, not much besides not being able to afford food and housing.

>>103014945Yeah yeah ive been to all those places europeans are a distinct thing irregardless of the eu
>>103014961This, it’s usually hard to fire individual fulltime employees and has a ton of bureaucracy involved unless you do something for cause like not show up or if it’s layoff time.Im pretty sure you have to fuckup like five times at my company after multiple written warnings and theyre having trouble getting rid of useless devs in other teams
>>103014911there is a lot of commonality in how euro countries handle their economies, their demographics, and so on. every eu country has a growing population of old people and no plan how to handle that aside from "muh immigration" and "make young people work harder", even if there are no actual jobs because these countries have accidentally optimized themselves out of being useful to anyone else. in the end, the reigning sentiment among the leaders in these countries is confusion and indifference, like they don't know what the fuck they're doing, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.the US is pretty similar to europe in terms of demographics but they've been minmaxing their industry and economy for the past 100 years. even if you stop considering that US just has a high GDP, the country also has actual wealth like oil, specialist industries, R&D, a highly talented and motivated labor force, and a bunch of people running the economy who generally understand what makes it tick. if you're american you might think your country's leadership is retarded, but consider that they're keeping the recession in check by threading the needle with interest rates while securing as much real wealth as possible in time for the recession, while at least my government thinks that they can fix every issue if they just shuffle numbers around hard enough
Give it to me straight, is it even possible to move to Switzerland with a permit these days?>inb4 fuck off we're fullno you're not LET ME IN I'M WHITE
>>103014943>AgileI fucking hate agile, who the fuck even likes this methodology? This is just fuck the developer in the ass to design and create everything while the stakeholders just bitch and moan 24/7.
>>103014755I take some antidepressants that really don't make me feel any different, desvenlafaxineif you're familiar with the suicidal ideation scale it basically just takes away 1 point (out of ten) off it for me, just enough for me to not hit the planning stage quite as often, but it's not like what people say that it makes you a completely different person or whateverwouldn't recommend it if you're not suicidal mostly because it's annoying to have another thing to think about in your routine and discontinuation symptoms are assas for therapy it's literally meant for the shit you're talking about, therapy is a meme for real mental illnesses but for the average normalfag "ahhh work is tiresome" stuff it can be pretty nice to just have someone that can listen to your rantsI think it was worth it for me even though it doesn't take care of my mental issues because it takes a huge load off what I end up ranting to my gf/family/friends, but otherwise I'd say skip itbest piece of advice I can give to handle the day to day struggle is doing drugs just don't be a retard and track your intake so you don't become a complete addict
>>103014994Yeah I thought this too until I was walked into a room on a Friday and let go without warning. If you are American you can be let go at any time for any reason.
>>103014957>>103014961assI guess I'll just bullshit them then, feels bad to get chewed out by my boss all the time though, third world country so no one gives a fuck if management insults you for dumb shit>>103015048any process is better than no processyou NEED someone whose job is to take screaming from stakeholders and convert it into prioritized tasks which respect the devs time commitmentwhether that is a scrummaster or whoever's responsible for writing the project docs in waterfall doesn't matter, you just need someone in-between devs and randos otherwise you end up with everyone from every team screaming at tech until they find the weakest link who will accept their "super urgent task guys!!" and burn themselves out doing it
>>103015024>actually believing this nonsenseyikesusa takes around 2.5 million immigrants a year while having a smaller population than the eu
>>103014943Do the bare minimum at your current job to make sure it's still an option if your potential new job doesn't pan out. When they ask, tell whoever is assigning you work that it's an unrealistic deadline for X, Y, and Z. They're probably just a retard who doesn't know how to set realistic expectations with their boss so they hand those expectations to you. These people need reality explained to them so they can parrot to the higher ups that it can't be built that fast. Be sure to ask them what happens if it's not done by X date because it will cause a short circuit in their monkey brain and buy you time
>>103015125based on the image you used in your post, i assume you are too retarded to understand these things. but i will spell it out for any other posterstypically those immigrants are a net positive for the US. the US has the privilege and the sense to pick the best and the brightest. canada and many euro countries don't have that privilege, because these countries are not typically anyone's first choice if they actually want to work hard, and nowadays they also have very little scrutiny over who they bring in. it turns out importing 500,000 deliverymen doesn't drive your country's economy to actually make some cool shit that other countries might want to buy, and instead it just impoverishes it further and drives the skill labor to leave for somewhere that doesn't tax them to shit. and because these countries are run by fucking idiots, they STILL don't get what the issue is and continue to double down on this plan. they just look at the age pyramid and say "need more young people" and that's the extent of their thought process
>>103015042Depends. Where are you from?
>>103014892Where can I put my profile so big uncle Sam can rescue me from the UKs Starmagedden?

FUCK AGILE AND FUCK YOU
I got contacted by a recruiter recently. Based on what he sent, I do not have the required experience. I mentioned this, but he still wants to go through the process. I think that I will be able to pick up the work fairly quickly, and the pay range is great. I wonder what motivated him to reach out to me? Am I just there so he can have another name to give to the company? Maybe I might actually stand a chance of getting the job.
I'm too much of a brainlet for LC so I'm stuck working at boomercorps. Should have just grifted and became an industrial engineer
>>103015048I do, but I'm pedantichttps://agilemanifesto.org/ this is agile, aka common sensehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(software_development) this is not agile, as you can not from the very first principle>Individuals and interactions over PROCESSES and toolsScrum is what you get if you ask an LLM to interpret Agile in the style of Beksiński
>>103015402He's basically making himself busy so he doesn't get laid outI'm convinced they have targets of having to speak to a certain number of peopleThey do it all the time with me, sick of having to tell them I'm not qualified for some high up the food chain job they're having trouble filling
>>103015402recruiters are glorified automatons, they don't know the difference between HTML and Python, have a checklist they need to tick>muh big OHHH>muh SDLC>muh testingthat said, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, you already have your foot in the door. Go for it, just don't think a cold call means anything
>>103015446>Industrial EngineerSo you can make $70k 5 days on site plus some weekends?I swear some of the posters ITT say things without knowing the first thing about them.
>>103015048the company i work for "implemented" scaled agile framework, or as they called it, a scaled agile hybridso two years later we are still working towards fixed scope deliveries that are explicitly timed to meet product launches and test gatesthey even brought in some suitfag to educate everyone and explain how SAFe should be applied, and disregarded his points completelyalso, good luck getting safety certification if you don't have comprehensive documentation or millions of hours of operation to claim "proven in use"
>>10301552170k in Icol is fine and being in a factory sounds enjoyable compared to being an officecuck surrounded by HR stacies. WFH is for faggot wannabe neets
>>103015463So my first thought wasn't too farfetched. Sooner or later they might get it right and send something worth your time. >>103015479True, I'm going to see if this opportunity pans out and prepare like I stand a chance and hope for the best. At least if I get an interview, I can practice those skills.
>company renovates comfy office space to activity based workplace>people start working from home>company sees that occupancy is low, so move more departments into building>company sees that occupancy is still low>company tells people they need to work in the office>everyone is now scattered between three buildings because offices doesnt have enough seatsi am wasting close to 30 minutes every day just finding a seat, bringing out my shit, and then putting it back at the end of the dayits not my time per se, but its tedious and demotivatingABW is literally a humiliation ritual
>>103015446Trust me you don’t want that. Working in a plant fucking sucks. I worked as an engineer at a plant in the middle of nowhere straight out of college dealing with shithead operators and management all day. If we needed to install a piece of equipment I had to be there, didn’t matter if it was on the weekend or late at night. I got a masters and a data science job specifically so I didn’t have to do that shit anymore. As stupid and pointless as these jobs can be, they’re a godsend compared to the alternative
>>103006721>mfw Europeans think 60k is a good salary because that's their peakI made 60k fresh out of college. Making about 350k now and managed to not lifestyle creep and so my retirement savings is looking pretty nice. The hope is that I have enough to retire in a decade and just do what I enjoy instead of writing tech specs for useless features for some retard in product that has no idea what our customers want or what our product even does.
>>103015583I do conduct programming interviews and if you genuinely have this approach you are easily better than 90% of devs I interviewed. Keep up the good work and have a nice day
I wish I could get a job working with code autists. My team is full of brainlets that shart out the lowest quality code and get annoyed when you point out how to make simple changes so it doesn't run like shit
>>103015643better yet, come to yurop to enjoy the socialist utopia (not) but your money will last longer that's for sure
>>103015360based

>>103015651Thanks. Good luck there and have a great day too
>>103015745>>Cold as fuck weatheronly literal niggers and subhuman canadians complain about this
>>103015776Only incel faggots think liking the cold is a personality trait. Guess what, I want to live where it's not a frozen shithole half the year and spend more time sunbathing and seeing girls in bikinis
>>103015776>I love Winters that drop to negative 20No, fuck off. Warm places are more expensive to live because people want to live there. You live where you live because your ancestors couldn't manage to escape. Don't make it my problem.
>>103006737Those people have a god complex and are addicted to shitting on everyone around them as if they're beneath them.
>>103015912Yeah, most IT Managers I've met have been absolutely technically incompetent dribblers whose only talent is sucking cock to get to the top
>>103015678>Hey, has anon finished that module he's been working on so we can ship on time and fuck off to the pub? >>No, he's still sperging out optimising shit that doesn't need it>FFSIs what your team thinks of you
>>103016032Dude no I don't even give that much of a shit but I just know what a pain in the ass it will be in the future and how shit something will run when it is 4 nested for loops instead of doing it in 1 with a hashmap. It's not like I'm doing a deep dive I just skim pull requests and cringe
They're going to take over are they
>>103016068so change it in the future when performance issues actually manifest. gay ass pussy
>>103016527How about you just do the needful dumbass jeet
>>103006721i just got offered twice as much as im making in my current job, and from homedo we deserve this stuff? i feel like i dont do shit. Every now and then I think hard for a few minutes and write some code, and that's really all the work I do all day
>>103016639Yes we absolutely do. The work that we (and all workers do) is basically filling executives bank accounts to the brim. Most of these people are leaches who are bleeding companies dry. There is no sense in having loyalty to any company. Take everything you can from these fucks and shove it into investments, property and land and get the fuck out ASAP.
>>103016681>and shove it into investmentsIn the US this is typically shares in other similar companies or insanely overpriced borderline unprofitable rental property.

>>103013573I was working with a jeet in a critical banking project during the start of the Pandamic. They did panic budgeting and aquired some free lancer jeets. This guy, was the first Indian I ever programmed with. And it was all true. The nodding. The indian wife an children screaming in the background during MS Teams meetings. The absolute agreeableness for any task assigned, and then the absolute underdelivery of solutions. The sirs.Failing any requirement.

Explain to him 400req/minute and other users will get data from others. >sir, i am sorry sirHad to explain to him how dependency injection works. Because he MANUALLY INJECTED BEANS VIA APPLICATION CONTEXT. Constructor injection was literally magic to him.This was in 2020 I worked with him for 3 months.

I made it to third round interview at a Musk company. God damn it. I'm dogging it and they're still going after me.
Think I just bombed my second round interview
