>>106521663you will rise above
>>106521563You're gonna win so hard you'll be tired of winning, just another 500bn to openai and another 500 million jeets
>>106521672man most days im straight tweaking at the dumbest shit. starting to not give a fuck about anything. what's the point of not becoming a criminal if there's no repercussions here its already impossible to get a job or home. what does being a nice normal tech worker who doesn't do fraud or tax evasion get? fucking nothing.
really hate my job lads, even if i work little and it pays decent feels like i'm becoming more retarded by the day
>>106521688you gonna "evade taxes" on zero income? what's the real criminal plan here?in any case, you're right that being a codecel is not worth it for less than $200k/yr.
>>106521715bald white man with cancer in a pork pie hat.jpg
>>106521711that's the problem with my job too but it's insanely hard to find advice online. it seems like everyone's "work" is just completely overwork and stress that comes from long hours. Mine is>don't really have much tasks>when I do have tasks it's completely out of scope but it comes from our VP so I can't say no>this company has NO fucking tools or easily accessible teams to do what we need to do>constantly needing to BA/PM IF they want to even move forward with this project>hand in deliverables to my boss only to find out later he did nothing with them>projects keep getting put on pause, scope creep to fucking astronomical levels, or people just bitch and moan about processes that's been there for fucking years now but NOW it's suddenly a big issue.Like my day to day, I'll write 3-4 emails but anytime I'm forced into a meeting (and I fucking will, especially when it makes NO sense to bring me in at that moment) it's just constant loop around the carousel and it's ALWAYS with big named stakeholders and they ALWAYS keep asking me questions I don't fucking know and need some time to figure out. FUCK what would you even call this? I'm not working overtime or anything but everything just feels so ridiculous.
>>106521677>500bn to openai and another 500 million jeetsfunny you say that. instead of bringing more indians to the US, they will build datacenters in india >>106516382

>>106521758oh sweet giggity it gets even better, looks like my replacement called sick during my vacation so now his work is stacked on mine! :D
>>106521688>>106521688>what does being a nice normal tech worker who doesn't do fraud or tax evasion get? fucking nothing.What's wrong with just being a simple contributing and respectable member of society? I hate all of you zoomers with god complexes. You are just another cog in the machine and you are not special, accept it faggot.
>>106522071fuck you take my shit and eat it. >simple contributing and respectable member of societyno such fucking thing anymore genius.
>>106521493Jack Welch was a retard, and all of the jeeted tech companies have stack ranking and Indian managers seem to love it. But white ceos started it so I can't even blame indians for this one.
Name me 1 simple contributing and respectable member of society.

>>106522704Goals for this week:>Deliver items without burning myself out. Basically for tomorrow morning I have to finish a shitton of documentation and then continue working on deliverables.>Try to win my new manager over so he does not micromanage me. I get he must be stressed due to the new responsibilities piled on him but he came up a little bit aggressive at me today asking for answers to some topics.

It would be full stack dev using jscript and some other proprietary shit.
>>106523406Just because the jews are the cause of all society's ills doesn't mean I can't hate their golems too
I work in adtech and I fucking hate it. Nothing we do matters, but it pays so fucking well (200k+).I lined up an interview with a company that provides tech solutions for disaster relief. It doesn't pay as well but it's still pretty good. I really really hope it works out for me because I can't spend another fucking year working on convincing drug addicts to buy more drugs
>>106523548you wouldn't even see the golems if you kept them in check
>>106523406>Who hoards all the wealth while wages stagnatethe wealth is anyone's challenge to obtain. Also FAGMAN does, but they trade their services (data) with other businesses>Who owns all the housing, utilities and the media?my landlord is whitemy government who owns the utilities is mostly white>Who controls the government and corrupts society?voters, and people susceptible to Instagram brainwashing>Why is everything so shit?it's not>White people: FREAKING JEETS!!!!!!!!! I don't get it either
>>106523654Why don't you sabotage the company? Could be more stimulating for you. Just dab out to Russia or China before you're caught.
>>106523754your landlord is white? my landlord is a big corporation and defies race by being incorporeal
>read article about "woman leaves tech after 3 layoffs">she was on the sales team, not tech>said she wanted to go to grad school but too expensive to quit job and go>got married so now can make her husband pay for itI hate all these doomer articles about how hard it is in tech when in reality this was some shitty sales rep who roped her new husband into letting her quit so she can go study as a hobby
>I do not knowThe single best response you can give.
>>106523957Meh, I think that "I am working on it" or "I haven't completed it YET" is the best.Managers just need to tell their managers shits being worked on. Not "idk...."
Anyone else here work on some legacy project with one or more monolith file that causes a merge conflict every single time you pull? What's the best way to handle this i've just been pasting the entire file into notepad, writing a list of methods i made changes to, rolling back, pulling, then pasting those methods back in i feel there's got to be a better way
>>106523464Imposter syndrome isn't real. If you don't believe you are good enough, you really are not good enough as you are.
>>106523913Why are you against reducing competition through FUD?
>have to estimate points on items for the sprint>entire team guesses 2+, team lead estimates 1, instantly writes down 1or>previously estimated item is too high according to the product owner>re-estimate it to be lower so he is happyhe will be disappointed when it takes longer than the re-estimated valueor>estimating non existing or unfinished trash itemsor>architect is in the meeting, says everything is easy and we are estimating everything way too highWe have never reached a sprint goal and most items take too long.I genuinely don't know what I am even doing in those meetings. It's such a fucking clown show.
>>106524274my biggest fear is my boomer waterfall boss retiring and the replacement guy trying to pull some retarded humiliation rituals like this
>>106524296Ironic you're saying this because lowering sprint estimations to appease product owners is literally waterfallThe whole point of story points is saying "nope, this topic is too big/complex we can't do it in time"
>Got a task last wednesday>Should've taken me no more than a day, maybe 2, to get it done>I've done absolutely nothing>I had no other tasks or reasons to not do itHow do I get away with this tomorrow during the evaluation? It's first thing in the morning so I can't even rush it when I get there
>>106524337>evaluationIs this one of those American humiliation rituals?
>>106524323no you don't understandwe don't even have sprints
>>106524392Yea you have quarters instead
>earn 30k less than the average for my position>starting to drown financially due to fagflation and student debt>not a single interview despite being actively employed for half a decade
>>106524425>quartersnah it's public sector so no conception of a quarter either it's literally all just built on "I'll try to have that in for Wednesday" 's
Interesting post from Sam Altman. He's noticing both an increase in bots using LLMs, and in human beings who write like LLMs. Social media feels "fake" to him now.
>>106524483This guy claims to be a genius and only now believes social media is fake, gay and botted. He earns absurd money being a retard while I wallow in poverty.

Why the fuck do so many of you date asians? Seriously there a whole department of stacies, but all my co-workers are dating asians or a latino.
>>106524552Because the alternative is dating white women.
>>106524552>implying I've ever kissed a girl
wmaf is cringy
>>106524552because they're beta males and can't pick up the white women.
>>106524552techbros are a mix of anime obsessed losers and sexpats who can't get laid without paying for it (and refuse to pay enough to afford more than a thai ladyboy)
>>106524580you guys make more than most white collar workers, what the fuck? The only one beating you guys is sales.
>company struggles>they fire half the dev team>that’s it guys we’re done and keeping the team as it is! no more hires! use ai yada yada>they hire another 2 “leaders” off the rip>tfw 25% of the company is now “leadership” by headcount.>none of these people actually do anything or contribute in any tangle way >just sucking air out of a room and talking about diversity or whatever>even when a task is explicitly given for them so sort out they just use empty words and don’t resolve anything>have to smile and wave as I see the ship sinking in my jobthe professional managerial class are parasites
>>106524392We have "sprints". Yet the customer that cries hardest gets the highest priority. Nor do we have a long term roadmap or anything like that. It's more kanban like than sprint
>>106524493But he told the senate that he doesn't make any money!
>>106524643Yeah this infection has seeped into every single industry. Part of the "rent seeking" problem of late stage civilizations, once we're past the growth and innovation phase. The doers are getting fucked and the managers and admins are ballooning in number.
>>106524483confirmation bias
>>106524552because despite loving the money that comes from working in tech, tech gives white women the ick and white women aren't worth all the extra baggageslanted pussy feels the same, often tighter, and comes with generally less explosive irrationality
>>106524643I feel like the managerial class blew their load. Alot of companies are getting rekt by now because their not enough people. The Indian off-shoring experiment is also slowly dying as they become one of the most hated race in America.
>>106524687>The Indian off-shoring experiment is also slowly dyinglmao no its not, every few weeks trump approves another gorillion H1Bsthe elites dont care about being liked, they care about number go up and cashing out to go live in a doomsday bunker.
>>106524683But Varg says you should marry a white women no matter what. How else are we gonna continue the white race retard.
>>106524643>>106524676>>106524687You guys are acting like this is a new phenomenon, it even has its term:"top-heavy organization"
>>106524791I didn’t say it was new at all.
>>106524756I'd rather be an incel than marry a stacy with jamal's cum turd
At least it's not a denial to go with a jeet instead
>recruiter reached out>he's white>asks if I want to interview for a startup>head of a department roleYay that I could head a department but it's a startup. How much of a shit show is it going to be?
>>106524955get real
>>106525018Highly depends on the startupBut considering you're posting here it's probably a 3-man startup and you'll get minimum wage kek. Enjoy
>>106525041I better not get that. I don't want to work for a 3-man startup or work for peanuts.
idk if i'm gonna make it through this weekand idk if i even want to anymore
>>106525018As much of a shitshow as you make it. Everyone else will be useless and you'll spend all your effort ping ponging between whatever retarded business decisions the dumbass in charge makes any given hour. If you don't have a clear vision and the skills to misdirect everyone away from being able to impact your own department you will fail.
Just saw someone open up chatgpt to do basic arithmeticnot even checking a whole function or something, literally he just punched in 80*54 into fucking chatgpt
I finally did it bros.>woke up made coffee, ate breakfast,>typed up my notice for effective immediately.>collected all my company owned shit>drove to the office one last time>dropped off everything with HR, both managers I sent my resignation to were nowhere in sight.Cracks me up that this is all because they wanted me in the office 5 days a week. All over 2 work from home days. Do not settle anons.
>install some shit on npm>npm audit suddenly says critical vulnerabilities>malware on some random dependency What the fuck
>>106525324I hope you have enough cash to retire otherwise you're going to end up on the street. New jobs don't exist. They're all AI now.
>>106525324Good luck, friend.
>>106525165That, I can handle. Been dealing with that crap for years from different clients. I'm just worried of being the sole department for next to nothing. At least this startup is using an outside recruiter so they have SOME kind of money.
>>106525160mood
>>106525324Everyday I dream with quitting, then I take a look at offers being posted and I calm down like a good slave
>>106525407yes i am in a bad mood
>>106525369they hacked isEven so it drains your bitcoins if u install it....
>>106525431also mood
>>106525473I wouldn't fucking have to touch this npm shit if it wasn't because of shitty full stack positions
>>106525324They wanted you to quit and now they’re going to hire 3 Indians for your pay and wonder why their profits are dropping from now till bankruptcy
>>106525324Good job retard, instead of just not going to the office and getting fired with a comfy severance package, you decided to cuck yourself willingly lmao
canadians btfo
If you didn't get a job in 2020 and became an indispensable senior at a company you fucked up and it's literally over for you
>>106525324Dropping your stuff off was kind of a bitch move.We've had 3 days per week in office for 2 years now and I have in been in maybe 3 times total in that time.I'd probably cuck if they called me out but my manager is a jeet and knows I'm superior.
I will message you about deadlinesYou will reply immediatelyYou will make the deadlineI will ask again tomorrow
if I am on track to get a promotion will taking paternity leave set me back? Will they look at it like I only did 9 months of work in 12, or will it be like the 3 months never happened
>>106525886Fuck off normie
>>106525886Most American post itt
>>106525324Based, nothing is going to get better until engineers start demanding more
>>106525886it will be like the 3 months never happened, aka you only did 9 months of work in 12. ur fukt. shouldnt have had a kid shitass, that makes number go DOWN you should have just imported an already grown and mostly independent child (who can be immediately put to work in the sugar mines of florida)
>>106525949>>106526015>>106526045I'll just ask reddit, they would know more about this situation
Why does my company have like 20+ green frog reacts
>remembering how my employer threatened my livelihood if I didn't take a poison shotInstead it's my attitude which is poisoned. Fucking fags and no I'm not going to hang out and drink onions juice.
>>106526110>>106526117
>>106526069>will not working hinder my career goals?yes
>>106526110my company has a few frog reacts in teams tooalso>product "managers" add memes to their presentations embarrassing, how i hate the modern office culture
>>106524569>wmaf is cringyi love wmaf. our hybrids will mature over the next 2 decades, forming a racial bloc the world has never quite seen.especially true for west coast tech wmaf>>106524605>you guys make more than most white collar workers, what the fuck? The only one beating you guys is sales.extremely low swag for the income though.
>>106526110You should hover over them to see the filenames/aliases for them. If any of them are for the wrong frog (i.e., it says Pepe but it's actually Apu), you should write an email to IT to get them fixed asap
>>106524676>The doers are getting fucked and the managers and admins are ballooning in number.I'm part of the ballooning. I'm convinced a lot of would-be or past "doers" transition to management bloat of some kind because they see they can make just as much or more by for way less work by joining the bloat.
>>106525431Literally me. Being turned down left and right. The other week I got ghosted by a recruiter who was chasing me around begging for an interview. Other than her every single application I sent is either rejected or in pending limbo.I guess I will stay wherever I'm at.
What does operational excellence mean to you? To me, it means consistently delivering high-quality results through efficient processes, continuous improvement, and a culture that empowers people to innovate and solve problems effectively.
why do so many people stay in the game instead of increasing their income and cutting costs? My magic number is $80k at a sub 2 or 3 % withdrawal rate. Already hit CoastFIRE but I could see myself hitting the number in 10 more years then I'm fucking off to a cheaper place and living like a king.
>>10652642880k today equivalent is going to be 200k in ten years
>>106526428>80ki made that in like 4 years in the navy and am still around 60k after loafing around for a few years. 80k in savings is very achievable if you arent a moron but will also disappear faster than you think, especially now that everything has been turbo jewed
do your coworkers use avatars that aren't their real self? like anime or movie characters?
>>106526487I know, I'm talking about todays dollars and purchasing power, future-wise i'm sure it gonna be a higher amount. >>106526491Not income, safe withdrawal rate from your asset portfolio.
>>106526428>why don't most people save up $4 million dollarsWell it's difficult while hitting other normie milestones>>106526487Also this, situations change and I'm skeptical >just buy the marketwill be good advice for another hundred years straight>>106526535Yeah it's kind of gay especially if it's a cartoon of themselves
>>106526549You could hit CoastFIRE and let compound work for you. Warren Buffet made most of his money after his 50s due to it.
>>106526543>>106526549>>106526578>just have 4 million dollars lying around bro its ezoh okay you were simply larping. carry on then
>>106526597you guys work in Tech, if there any profession that could hit that, it tech and high finance.
>>106526629even if you are in the top 10% that make Le Big Figgies lmao as if
>>106524274>>architect is in the meeting, says everything is easy and we are estimating everything way too highThis is me, by the way. Stop complaining and just comply with my vision.
>>106526692Idk when this was made but 401k contributions maximums are at $23.5k. They should be focus on capping it. Then they need to make a backdoor Roth. They got wiggle room. The only thing they need to do left is create a bridge account until they can access their retirement funds. So yea they are in fact doing better than fine. The house gives them access to HELOCs down the line. There alot of shit here they can cut like the date nights every two week, childcare costs are short-term in nature and will give them a 42k buffer when the kids get old enough. They could drive a beater instead of a BMW and the Misc buckets is too generic.
>>106526629the thing about "tech" having a "high" average wage is that it includes people like elon musk and jeff bezos.
>>106526789$250k is like average no?
>>106526792even if 250k is an honest average that means there's plenty of salaries below that. the average iq is 100 but think of how many retards you meet in a day. around half of people are lower than 100 iq. think of all the times you personally were retarded for a moment. you might be retarded RIGHT NOW. and just like that bam you think you're gonna make big figgies but end up making 60k to import npm modules
>>106525431https://x.com/arakharazian/status/1965073568561275158Looks like it's not so good over on the employed side of the equation either, huh?
>>106526692>just donate $18k a year to kars4kids, goy
>>106526692>401k ContributionOnly put in as much as you get matched. Anything else is basically a waste. Just eat the damn tax now.>40% Effective Tax RateMax tax bracket is 37% but since they're a combined $500k in today's rate their tax bracket is 32% or their effective rate is 22.8% + FICA + State Income Tax>Food for fourMight be a bit on the high side. It could be lower if you know how to cook.>Mortgage>$5kLOL LMAO>Three vacations a yearKnock that down to one. You live in the US. There's no such thing as enough vacation time for 3 whole vacations a year.>Car PaymentShould have cleared that out completely a long time ago>Clothes for four peopleDepending what age the kids are, this is mostly the wife spending money>Student loan debtLMAO it's whatever at this point>CharityNo. Stop giving free money to institutions that don't need it.They forgot to include their emergency fund and max out other retirement vehicles. This thing is retarded.
>>106526815Hey man at the end of the day it a math problem, alot of shit I see is just tech bros spending too much money and not saving enough, you put as much money as you can into investments in your 20s and 30s and calc your rate of return on when you retire and how much you need. Tech is ageist and I personally wouldn't want to be in the situation where I see so many boomers are at and I wanna control my exit. I got a taste of it this layoff session but i'm employed again. Hoping when I get laid off again it gonna be a nice severence and bennies and then never working again.
>>106526886It lowers their taxable income, they make too much money to put it in a roth. 401(k)s are fucking god tier for controlling your tax rate in retirement.
>>106526886>>Mortgage>>$5k>LOL LMAOit's $60kstill, I bet they have a $x million house
>>106526918Backdoor that shit and eat the tax then and there. You're either going to pay taxes now or later. I'm more of the mind to pay now and give Uncle Sam the finger when I'm still working my Engineer II position at 80.
>>106526908ok fair but just "get le code job lol" is not going to get you to a point where you can have out 80k per month with no other income. not even if you cheat on your taxes to save 5% or whatever
>>106526908Because FIRE is a fucking meme. You live like a dog for 30 years in order to live as slightly better than a dog for the remaining 20 with absolutely no wealth to leave for your kids (actually you won't have any, since no woman is going to shack up with a man who refuses to spend). You hate your job and decide to make it even more miserable for yourself.
>>106526933It's $5k a month. I'm laughing because that's probably hyper idealized depending on the area. The way money is being spent on that spreadsheet, I wouldn't be surprised that they're paying high PMI because they couldn't put together a good down-payment.
>>106526792Where? Cite your sources, because that's an absolute bullshit number.
>>106526942I was thinking 80k per year not month. >>106526934I think you can only do $7k per year in a backdoor strat, so yea you still need to do some shit pre-tax.I'm sure you can get around 31k and get it all tax-free assuming MFJ. >>106526964Adults are talking, you sound like those retarded doomers.
>>106526968well you see, mark zuckerburg makes infinity gajillion dollars, so i should be able to make at least 500k for vibe coding third party SAP modules
>>106526815If you can't become a millionaire within 6 years with a 250k salary, you're just plain retarded
>>106526997Sorry that I decided to invade your risk-averse bubble of delusion.
>>106526997How so? I'm not saying FIRE but you can definitely let compound growth work in your favor. Do you really want to be working in your 50s dependent on a wage?
>>106526997he's not wrong. fire is a complete meme. you live off beans and rice so you can "retire early" and have no generational wealth, probably going back to eating rice and beans after getting to take one nice vacation in your 40sif it was so easy to make 80k/yr doing literally nothing, money would be completely fucking meaningless and we would be experiencing hyperinflation. you are literally taking tik tok grifter advice>>106527014most people retire at at least 65. and if you're COOOODING you can certainly just sit at a desk in an air conditioned office doing whatever it is PMs do at 65
Does anyone work for a non-FAGMAN in the Seattle area? What are the best ways to look for something there other than online job boards if I'm looking to move back to the area next year?
>>106526997True. Backdoor is capped. Still, I rather just eat the tax and then put the rest of the post-tax monies into $SPY or some other ETF. I like being able to sell daily FDs and make some quick "beer money" everyday.
>>106527030yeah i sell crackyou want some samples bro
>>106527030I know a guy who works for some ai startup in seattle
>>106527037>FIRE retard dumps his money in an index fund and withdraws it the next day for "beer money", never allowing his money to accumulate actual interestyou people are retarded and will die of hunger at 45 without a pension unemployable due to a 20 year resume gap after draining your mothers' savings for tendies
>>106527024Most people die shortly after their retirement in that age bracket, fuck that shit. I'm trying to get away from that in my 50s, that'll give me a good 10 years to travel. What do you mean doing nothing, that $80k is coming in from wage slaves in companies trying to create value. All I'm saying tech bros have the income to do so and I don't see why they aren't doing it? You guys are HENRY pretty much.
>>106527057bruh, I'm selling FDs on my $SPY shares. It means I'm selling OTM options to dumbasses for some sweet premium. If I ever get exercised, I just wheel my way back in. It's not that hard.
>>106526965have you seen housing prices and interest rates today? 5k is 40% down on a 1500 sq foot house
>>106527065most people instead of cutting their career at 30 because they finally have 500$ in savings, just continue working and then have an actual pension, pay off their house, and have something to leave to their kids
>>106526110my company banned frog reacts on the basis of them being a right wing hate symbolim not kidding
>>106527078no part of this post is english
Why are you so poor? Lol.
>>106527101Again I never said anything about FIRE idk who put that shit in, I said make sure you invest more than enough so you can control your exit, because you could get laid off and never be able to come back in. Anyways here a back test. 1990 - 2025. Assuming you cap out your 401(k), Roth, and built a bridge account (1250 contribution per month inflation adjusted) you would have close to $7 million dollars today, at a 3% withdrawal rate you could withdraw $201k and the portfolio should keep rising forever.I miss the old portfolio visualizer tool, it had a great monte carlo simulation and that way better.
>>106527123I'm not a boomer in the 1980s nor is my name Ranjeesh or Supreet or whatever.
>>10652715080% US Market and 20% US small cap.
>RetiringThe best thing you can do is set your kids up for better success than you ever accomplished. Even then they might still grow up to be massive fucking losers.
>>106527180What are you gonna do when the company kicks you out?
>>106527184Burn my body in the lobby in protest.
>>106527150>1250 per month for 35 yearshope you dont have kids, ever have an accident, or live in a high cost of living area. oh and that you manage to get a house for straight cash and never pay interest on anythingthe "average" tech wage isnt some 250k+bennies+stonks wfh from iowa monstrosity, you've been tricked by teamblind jeets.even if you do tech support you should be comfortable and probably have a corpo pension (or at least contribution matching or something) but thinking youll have like 30k per year of spare cash to le ebinly max le 401k and then even more for your own "self-directed investment" (which will only go up!!) is pretty optimistic for someone whose entire education is made up of comptia certs and vibecoding leetcode challengesthat said being unable to save *at all* is poorfag skill issues but you ain't retiring at 50. and even if you could, if you're a white collar worker why not just stay in management collecting a wage to sit around bullying neo-zoomers on top of your ebin investments
