The problem with this field is that you need to be very smart to make $150k a year while you can go into sales or something and with just a little bit of guile, above-average smarts, and not being a total autist you can make $250k a year.

in reality if you're a 130 iq white dude you can learn 95% of the shit you need to become an elite coder in a few years, and adapt into 90% of coding jobs within one year. But you need to actually get the job first and have the opportunity. That's why entry level jobs are essential, but HR roasties filter you out if you don't have a masters + 10 yoe for developing a shopify store in javascript.

Since graduating uni 5 years ago I have spent half my time unemployed.
>>
>>106778190
I got rejected from 3 or 4 positions in the past week. All of the opportunities that I had were drowned out. I need to take this weekend and re-calibrate, lower my expectations, and move on from there.

I'm going to let go of my car and just cut costs as much as possible. Maybe declare bankruptcy. I will probably end up very alone and isolated. I've been on "job hunting house arrest" for a few months now. I read an article about how people in prison are getting jobs and it doesn't feel much better for me.

I'll go into the trades if I have to but if this is all society has to offer me then I just want to be on autopilot for the rest of my life. I isolated myself and suppressed everything that brought me joy just to advanced qualifications. I did the same when gaining experience. Life isn't fair but then justice doesn't exist.

I code as a hobby and big tech propaganda has ruined it. No one was interested in my side-projects before but now it's even more worthless because of what people think vibe coding is.

I am one year unemployed, going to the second year right now. I used this time to improve myself in some areas that i was lacking and to try fix my decade-old mental problems. My mental state is still broken, i think if an unattended gun show up in my way i will instantly kill myself or at least it's going to be really hard to hold myself from doing it.

And now this whole time unemployed is now making me look like shit to the job market. Countless interviews, countless tests and still not a single job. I want to die.

A security clearance is unironically the only way to make it these days.

The funny part is that for my offer I didn't even have to do a phone screen. I just had to answer a couple questions from a recruiter over email and then a 30 min behavioral interview . Don't want to dox myself but this is a big name company too. I did have a few internships under my belt and a good GPA but I definitely am lucky.
Also, one thing I noticed is that no one is asking leetcode questions. It's mainly behavioral and STAR stuff (if it's not FAANG, startups, or quant).

Even if you had all 3 of those your odds of getting a tech job in the foreseeable future are near zero.
If you haven't already sunk all your time and resources into tech you should absolutely go get into some other field.

here's an idea for you, unemployed faggots:
how many times have you tried to contact find for on some small store, business or whatever, and couldn't find shit about it on the internet?
you could add their info on google maps and similar web apps and charge, say, $100 (I think this is called a community manager). or maybe offer them a website and charge $1000 to set up wordpress, take a few pics and add a description and contact info to the website.

Is the college hate just from Americans? If you live in Europe where college is either free or the fees are very small why would you not go there? In my country it seems you just have to have college education to be employed at any kind of tech job even if you don't use much of what you learned.

Don't every declare bankruptcy. There is pretty much only one scenario where declaring bankruptcy makes sense and it is if you own your home outright (meaning no mortgage payments) and you want to protect it from being taken from you by your creditors. Other than that it is better to just to stop making payments on your debts which leads to default and then just ignore the collections agents. Here is why: Bankruptcy stays on your credit record FOREVER whereas defaulting on debts wipes away in about 7 years.

Because we have an open society based on meritocracy, but jeets lie, cheat, and band together through nepotism to climb the ranks instead of through merit?
Yeah that's our fault?
Maybe it's the fault of the (((government))) for allowing them be brought here and cheat the system.
