>Get comp-sci degree>haven't been able to get a job in almost 2 years since graduatingWhy the fuck is it so difficult? Is it just me and my area? I learned to code and even that isn't helping.
>>103231350It's been 2 years. you should already know the answer.
>>103231350Just be yourself
>>103231350I understand that not everyone can get a job right out of school, but 2 years? It actually is just your fault.
Like I can't imagine just sitting on my ass and doing nothing for 2 years. I would rather go work at McDonald's just to pass the time.
>>103231350can you design? Can you model? scan you translate user requirements into code? Can you even ascertain user requirements from a conversation with a stakeholder? Can you normalise a database up to 4NF? Can you confidently prototype a working application, FE/BE and hook a DB up to it, that isn’t fucking firebase or postgre/mongo, in a week?>but where grug job>grug no work 2 years
These days it requires a personal blog for whatever fucking reason supplementing the FOUR YEAR DEGREE PROVING YOU KNOW THE SHIT
>>103231505>>103231512>>103231531There are no more jobs in America, it’s over. Everything is running in skeleton mode and they refused to lose profit for production.
>>103231555Oh all that four year experience is real-world, is it?
>>103231568Zoomer NEET copium. The job market constantly fluctuates between contraction and expansion cycles. You entered in at a bad time for the specific discipline you wanted and then immediately gave up forever because you are a lazy entitled slob who secretly likes living in mom's basement and eating pizza rolls for dinner every night.
>>103231350
>>103231350Post GPA.
>>103231350I would say it's because of the current market, but you were too dumb to realize it is the market, so I will blame your stupidity at the primary factor, the market as the second, and thirdly companies just do not give a fuck about entry level until you have five YoE.

>Got degree in business last year>Job search takes a couple months but I get WFH job doing excel and tableau stuff>Superiors think you're a wizard for making pivot tables>tfw got the fabled tech worker lifestyle with a much easier degree
>>103231350>Drop out of college in 2019>Get entry level IT job immediately for $250/month>Get to work from home due to the pandemic with lots of free time, while a lot lost their jobs (or lives)>In 2022 moved into another remote IT job for $600/month and moved out my parent's house>Six months ago I got a raise to $900/month>Have the qualifications to move to other jobs I've declined, will look to get $3K/monthI'm a Mexianon though
>>103233137Which type of IT job?
>>103231350The school and degree was a scam. Not saying you didn't earn a legit degree. I'm saying you were mislead.
>>103233073Business or Business IT degrees are the real red pill CS degree codecucks aren't ready to swallow. Literally in the same pay band as SWE codemonkeys and all I do is boss them around with customer requirements and tell them to update their Jira tickets.
>>103231350What projects have you worked on outside of school?
>>103233177Pretty much being the IT department, don't know if I qualify as devops.First job was easy, two desktop windows servers with a bunch of terminals and two printers. Half of the day I was working on personal github stuff, distrohoping and learning new stuff on my computer while at work.Second job, at first, was monitoring around 100 mini pcs installed all over the country, replacing them when needed, configuring and optimizing scripts for text processing, I started on doing documentation we didn't have, specially about Linux, and dropped ubuntu support in favour of Debian and Fedora, some clients asked for RHEL and Alma, started learning about them.Then I got a raise, and now I'm in charge of the whole infrastructure, it's a medium-sized company. I'm in charge of someone doing what I did, and configure, backup and setup physical servers on-site, on EC2, Azure and Vmware. Research into new solutions both technically and commercially, buy licenses, configure new employee laptops, hosting services and containers, recently pushed a Business continuity plan where we use a quick deployment of Nextcloud, openvpn and gitea, and other stuff, I like it, but now I want to specialize on setting up infrastructure and cloud services from Linux, I don't like the cloud (which means using Amazon, Azure or Google).
>>103233137>$600/monthThat was $150 a week. That doesn't even make any sense. What were you working 8 hours a week?
>>103233369but doesn't all of this require a specific cert or something?
>>103231512>McDonald'sI'd rather sit on my ass, and code some shit all day.>just to pass the timeonly retards get bored.
>>103235386>I'd rather sit on my assYeah I know you would because you did. Not only are you a leech but you're also an idiot.
>>103235406should have mentioned that NTA. anyway, flipping burgers all day for 2 years is a massive waste of time. you won't learn anything, and you won't grow your network. I already sort of "made it" in tech, but if I was a fresh grad, I'd rather leech off parents for a while than go work at McD. but yeah, 2 years is a massive stretch. OP should consider internship (even unpaid) to get some xp in tech.
>degreeuseless
>>103233800Yesn't, people with a degree get jobs into bigger companies, while I have no degree I'm asking my currenty company to pay a certification for me.
>>103231350I graduated and got instantly a job in the company I did my internship, maybe you're just trash and don't know how to code? I was even learning at home after lessons
>>103231531Yes, these are all skills that are reasonable to expect for an entry-level position that requires you to spend 4 years and a hundred thousand dollars learning how to code Hello World programs in C, C++, and C#.
