That's so cool. I love seeing people who go into tech completely demoralized. Thanks OP. You seem so happy in others misery.

Fuck you.

Do firsties really wait to end graduation to get a job?
Jesus, I started coding for money at 16 (wrote cheat scripts for a popular German MMORPG); by the time I graduated, I already had worked for 4 companies.
How the fuck do you guys even afford to pay tuition without a job?

bullshit.
How the fuck do you get stressed working in IT? It's literally the easiest job in the world.
Nigger, just go to the gym, like, nigger, get a hobby.
Fucking fat faggot think playing video of gaymen is a hobby and fill their assholes with sugar, then they come up with this bullshit, like, "my job is so hard, i had to work for almost 2 hours today". Holy shit, my gf is a nurse at a hospital and there is not a single day she doesn't need to walk past faeces, blood or vomit. And let's not start to talk about having to push and pull useless fat fucks. She is 29 and already has 4 hernias, and this nigger who spends most of the day doing nothing is stressed.

all of these posts are complaints about abusive indian managers, h1b, and ethnic nepotism reworded to evade reddit rules. the actual job is cushy as hell. that said, the competence of new grads is hilariously variable. people writing compilers and drivers for fun sit next to people who chatgpt'd their way through and can't actually code when you cut their internet access

props to your gf for doing something valuable for society

The real demoralization for Canadians has nothing to do with tech.
It's the decades of nonstop mass immigration (particularly the last 10 years of Indian immigration).
Accepting 10 million jeets in 10 years has completely ruined this country.

The main issue here is being traumatized by a single failed interview. Kids have no grit.

You have to accept the prospect of 100s of failed interviews if necessary and with total emotional detachment. This is a harder prerequisite than a degree.

I think a lot of people act depressed because they think they're expected to in order to fit it.
Which quickly, perhaps even simultaneously, leads to real depression, that is to say, they become depressed because they think they should.
Doesn't help that software development is one of the most heinously unnatural things anyone can do.

i heard that it's best to spend your time focusing on your education and developing your skillset than being a wagie unless you're doing an intership in your aspiring career. other than completing school work, you can use that time to work on personal projects and develop skills for joining interships in the future
it makes the most sense to get a job during school if your living conditions are poor
>How the fuck do you guys even afford to pay tuition without a job?
financial aid and small streams of income

I don't even get interviews. I get the generic "Thank you for applying, but we are looking for someone more closely aligned with our current needs". Rejection emails like these makes me want to [redacted] someone in Minecraft.

huh what do you mean? Outside of nightmare managers, retard users, etc. the act of software development itself is very comfy.

My favorite times in software have been when

1. someone needs a tool or way to do something
2. they ask me to figure out how to do it and leave the door wide open
3. I'm free to just build and explore and put something useful together
4. they use it (and I feel validated)

This has been really rare. I had an internship like this. Really it's the way enterprise software and the SDLC is set up that just grinds you to bone. Stupid little features and bug fixes and tiptoeing your way around big gross legacy codebases while the organization holds the constant threat of Indians over your head.

I make $150k right now, if someone offered to hire me to do the little tool guy thing I mentioned for $90k I think I would take it.
>>
>>106625937

Before the B2B SaaS explosion I think it was more like this. Every organization needed their own little programmer wizards to try to create useful internal tooling. Now they just subscribe to yet another bloated app.

hmmmm i wonder why these idiots cant get a job. everyone that i know that graduated this mid year that was willing to get creative with their job search (3 people) all got $80k+ jobs. protip: spamming you resume on linkedin, indeed, and company site job postings will get you nowhere

"SAP Tech" used to be a whole thing. they'd just subscribe to whatever the fuck salesforce does, realize no one has an answer to "what the fuck is salesforce", and have people write extensions for it in house. but now so many of these extensions just already exist and are in such a boring non-customer-facing field that we have finally found the answer to whether all the software that needs to exist exists yet. for HR catladies, salespeople, and inventory tracking, the answer appears to be yes

I’ve noticed for all of these Reddit complaints if you dig enough you find out they’re always from second or third world countries like Canada or the baltics. The market is rough in the US but there’s still some bank in the middle of nowhere that needs a programmer that will hire you
>>
>>106627026
the problem here is that most of those people only apply to fang companies and get rejected, they don't think about smaller companies which are looking for people.

He is aiming too high? If he is that good he should create his own thing, if not he should lower his expectations. Well he can also turn trans or gay, they will hire him instantly. Maybe even make him CEO.

That's not the same as just writing a program or application (I.e. just "programming"). It's writing a solution for existing programs that you don't/can't/aren't allowed to fully understand, so there's a much bigger pile of shit to sort before you have even written something that does even a fraction of what you want.

Companies layoff senior software devs to bring in immigrants at the 1 and 2 levels to put downward pressure on wages. It creates stagnation at the entry levels and prevents the top levels from staying around.
Rounds of layoffs is their current method of choice, which is why you get simultaneous layoffs of natives and hiring immigrants at the same time.
>>
>>106619845
Canada in particular must be brutal. A deluge of scabs from abroad, depressed wages, a bad job market, apparently massive housing shortages.
It'll probably all work out but nows not the time to be picky.
But in time all things pass.
