>>106449965

>>106450170
i have an excel spread sheet too but i'm not skiled enough with it to make it fancy like, how do you make an automatic rejection counter with it? i only write down Rejected - date 21th august and i have to manually count if someone ask me lol

>>106450533
Just type in

=COUNTIF(A1:A10, "Rejected")

for a cell's formula, replacing A with whatever column it is in, 1 for whatever your starting row is and 10 with whatever your ending row is. If you add a shit ton of rows, you can click the cell with the formula, then drag down to get the new rows.

>>106450209
nta, but that's why I stopped tracking. It's de-motivational in it's own way. Imagine you apply to 200 jobs and you realize you only get 70 rejections, 6 callbacks, and the rest ghosted. At least you get don't get crushed by hopelessness by ignorance.

havent had a job for 3 years, I left like 2 months before chatgpt became a thing, how fucked are office jobs now?

I think the only solution now is trying to create my own project, then try to monetize it. Any company no matter how big or small expects you to work slave hours (that's after slaving away at leet code for the chance to be the corpo cuck) and if you don't they'll find a jeet who will.

and the hiring/interview processes that were nothing but a parade of humiliation rituals are the ones where, unsurprisingly, i didnt get the job and it's questionable that one even ever existed

that's when they're not really interested in hiring anyone, either soon or at all

either they're using that job post as a CV pit to build a database of potential candidates

or to present themselves to the authorities as an "active recruiter contributing to the job market" to get tax exemptions

and if the job poster is not the company itself but a middleman, your data might be sold for profit

This one pisses me off more than anything else.

This one is more like "We are future proofing in the off chance we require this role" which is fucking bullshit.

So, you've sent out hundreds of applications, and you can't find shit. Your career is on hold and if this goes on long enough your resume will be permanently fucked.

Genuinely, why have you not yet considered the US military? You do realize they have both coding and blue/red team hacking roles, right? It's consistently 9-5 and comes with countless lifelong benefits. You only have to do 1 4 year contract and you're in the clear. If you're in the Air Force/Space Force, the dorms, food and amenities are genuinely great.

You can get a top security clearance and not have to compete with H1Bs ever again in your life. You do realize how easy TS clearance interviews are right? If you can do Fizzbuzz, you're in.

Genuinely, why have you not yet bit the bullet? In 6 months, this path will be much harder as all the unemployed CS graduates who are citizens wise up to it.

Had an interview yesterday where they asked me if I have any questions and I started asking about something that's kind of irrelevant.
I think irrelevance ruins everything.

>>106466142

Yes
Asking the HR roastie how many cats she owns isn't a good idea

>>106466142
probably better than not asking anything at all. I used to ask nothing and only recently found out it's a major red flag

>>106466343
>it's a major red flag
its actually a normal human interaction type of thing. Were you clarifying the position, requirements etc etc while the discussion was going? Yes? Well, you dont have to ask any questions. Were you mostly silent? Yes, now is the time to ask your "questions" aka showing any interest in the position. You are just silent during the HR meeting, this means that you are just not interested. Irrelevant questions are also stupid, ask about the position.

>>106466403
you don't get it. it's an actual meta among interviewers to ask this regardless of how curious you were during the interview. you are definitely not getting hired if you say you don't have anything

>>106465456
>It only works on zoomers but everyone in between that knows better is too much of a pussy to say anything.

I personally have not seen anyone take that bait unless they couldn't do basic arithmetic.

>>106466862
I think bug bounty is too hard. It takes forever to look at all the codes and find a working security issue. Whereas, math is laid in stone and solving the problem can take as long as you want without your tool chain abruptly changing, or the software vector you're investigating instantly deprecates with a new mitigation technique.

Well, if you're asking what field probably needs some math reform, it's probably Astronomy.
A couple of months ago the Big Bang model got disproved from what they saw from the James Webb telescope.

>somehow i think that would have made major news if true
It probably should. There could be a couple reasons as to why no one's running the story for how big of a deal it is, but they could all be valid.
The James Webb telescope looked at the Cosmic Radiation Background (Edge of the observable universe) and found the remanent of fully formed stellar bodies that would be way too old for the model to explain.
The running theory now is that the universe is alot bigger and that we are in a black hole.

Seriously, I know what I sound like, but for real do some digging. There are really good videos on it. It's not hard to find.

I'm considering the military, but I don't want to be considered enlisted. If I decide to go though with it, I want to be an officer. have a bachelors in cs from a state school. No participation in rotc or anything like that.
Thoughts?

>>106468842
Don't. Just go with private defense contractors and make sure you use plenty of dog whistles.

Has anyone looked into clinical systems?

>>106468842
You have to do a military career to be an officer.

>>106468928
No you don't, you fucking retard. All you need is a bachelors.

>>106469007
technically speaking, being an officer IS a military career

i think in the us yeah you just need any degree at all for most officer trades, only some of them have "preferred" ones or require rotc. prior enlistment is totally not necessary though

>>106469137
Not even technically speaking, people *can* become officers with just a bachelors. Prior military experience isn't even taken into consideration, they mostly look at your degree (doctor, dentist, nuclear, ect.). You have to take a separate test, and do a full panel interview; with 2 officer's letters as recommendation or a letter from the governor. It's not easy to become an officer.

if you anons think getting rejected for a regular job is disheartening, try walking in off the street to become an officer lmao

They want code and business in a single person. A division into Jobs and Wozniak-type roles is still the best way, and asking for both ensures they'll be disappointed. The prompt is broken it's a cry for help and if you don't apply they might not make it.

Ahh another day of successless unemployment.

I keep telling my lazy fucking retarded coworkers to get the CCNA. The CCNA is the easiest scoop of my career, and effectivley doubles my income every time I jump to a new job. The CCNP is also important. if you are into NETWORKING. If you are looking at any discipline outside of networking, look at other shit.

Basic help desk experience will get you into an entry level NOC position, and a CCNA is overkill. You would essentially checking if data centers or campus networks are up or down, and being tier 1 support if network availability is gone.

The market supply is so large, matured, and starving that getting a few of my friends in (they aren't Indian, or any women, and most are fathers), is a healthy form of nepotism. Networking isn't sexy, because it's a real job. Not your tiktok, free lunch, insta-slut HR, grifting bootcamp hocking developer "tech" community. Fuck you niggers.

Anyway, you're supposed to cultivate a corporate network of compatriots in real life and not on Instagram, it helps you stay employed.

that is still my plan B if I can't find a job soon. i know my dad would love it but i don't want to work retail and deal with retarded customers on a daily basis.

graduating with no internships pretty much means I should abandon all hope of getting into tech and I should just find something else to do with my life, right?

I don't have experience with Codility, but generally speaking, technical interview questions have absolutely zero overlap with any real programming problem you may have seen. They'll also depend a lot on parts of programming languages that you would normally have no use for. You should practice a little with leetcode before you have to take the test, if you have time.
