>work experience
Congratulations! If you're in a situation that requires you to be here, you're probably best off working at McDonald's, Starbucks, or the local Indian or Chinese restaurant. Beats actual unemployment, as humbling as it is.

Definitely revise your resume so it's tailored more toward customer service, however.

>there's nothing in my metropolitan area!
Well now might be the chance to move to, idk, Mississippi or South Dakota. No tech jobs there, but plenty of retail and service I guess. Or health if you take the nursing pill.

>resources
Y'all know the drill. Leetcode neetcode etc.
Stratascratch, the leetcode for data engineers:
https://platform.stratascratch.com
Get a PhD if you can.
Maybe get an MBA if you can.

>coping
Find a bridge or something idk

>emigration
Consider moving to China, Taiwan, or SE Asia if you're ethnically Chinese

>pivoting
Maybe consider this too. Idk the details.

>>
>>107215478
Off the top of my head, iterate forward, take a character, 1 or 0, then count the number of consecutive of that character you found, n, then iterate forward and count the number of the opposite character up to a max of n. The number of substrings you found is how ever many of that character there was, so add to your total, then do it again at that opposite character
So for like 00111001
start with counting 2 0s
then count up to 2 1s, you have 2 substrings
then start again counting 3 1s (can optimize here, don't need to backtrack)
then count 2 0s, (stop cause hit a 1), add 2 more substrings
then count 2 0s (optimize here agian)
count 1 1, add 1 more substring
result should be 5

> shoulve studied maths or physics
Nah man, I made that mistake despite already having internships as a programmer thinking it would make me stand out against the flood of normies but it just closed a bunch of doors because the ATS filters anything non-CS. It's fucking bullshit because I guarantee I have been doing this shit longer than most CS grads and ended college with more programming internships than most. I kinda get it tho because my uni's CS program is actually quite detailed with low-level stuff because defense contractors like to hire from them.

any of you going for sys admin jobs or helpdesk/support positions?
i've interviewed probably 10-15 people in the past month and almost EVERYONE lies on their fucking resume
like its just a buzzword salad of technologies with hopes of landing an interview

except for the guys with actual networking skills, they seem to be the only ones who arent bullshitting 100
why is this?
i dont even care if they're certified (im not)
the main thing i look for now is someone who seems like they would understand what happens at layer 2 and 3 (+DNS), and understands basic topologies
anyone who's doing technical interviews probably knows this too
pic rel is something i pull up and ask them to answer, and im so fucking surprised that most of them have no idea what they're even looking at
networking is so easy too compared to programming, and it makes you formidable in the industry because it seems like everyone is scared of it for some reason
networking is very easy, just takes some time
anyways hope you guys can find a job, skill up while you wait

>>
>>107216929
This is annoying because I am looking at sysadmin/network admin jobs, but I fucking choke whenever someone presents these hypotheticals. Like put me at the machine and I'll get it instantly, but looking at this in like a test and I'm fucked.
Also, shouldn't the gateway on the machine be the same as the router, not the DNS server? Like, that's the only thing jumping out at me.

>>107217314
>>107217363
literally, thats it, wrong GW
the question is not supposed to be hard or a challenge in anyway, especially since i'm hiring for a helpdesk position
its my test to see how quickly someone can identify an easy problem
95% of the people i've interviewed have no idea what they're even looking at
the others get it immediately or within 10-15 seconds
i give wiggle room because interviews can be nerve racking, especially when talking to the technical guy (take a deep breath we get it, and dont expect you to know everything)
also, if you dont know something, say that you dont know but say you would ask for help.
Thi is a very respectable answer and goes further than trying to BS your way through something

>>107217342
go for pentesting, its so much more fun and interesting, and even less competition
beware of burnout though if you get that job

>>
>>107217542
That's how it is in reality... "router" is often used a catch-all phrase to refer to an edge device. Now if you look at that image, what is the address of the edge device? That is the default gateway. You would need to be completely clueless (or autistic) to get this wrong.
>>
>>107217542
GW is the address, router is the device, could have called it a firewall too
if they had to just match words to numbers, its not testing their understanding and ability to identify an issue

on top of that, if a little 'miswording' or incorrect phrasing is going to throw you off
you're not fit to talk to end users and troubleshooting anyways
one of the things i have to BEAT into everyones head is to NEVER trust what an end users says
you an trust something is wrong/broken, but dont use their assessment for troubleshooting, they have no idea how shit works and say random things that they've heard or someone else told them

Really?

So the future is always kind of murky in terms of, what fields or degrees are going to be in demand etc. But, no matter how tech does, there is going to be an impressive increase in the amount of POWER demanded by companies and people.

I've tried solving 7 medium problems today and failed every single one.

>In order to train as hard as possible, you must retain a clear image of your purpose. Once your goal is sharply, but realistically, defined, all that remains is carrying out your plan. Don’t, however, worry about your individual potential. Potential is only the expression of a possibility, something that could be accessed accurately only in retrospect. In other words, you'll never know how good you might have become unless you try.

Software developers usually have absolutely no clue about networking, whatsoever. The difference between a software developer and a secretary is "Office 365 stopped working!" vs. "Git clone stopped working!".

Once you're entitled to 3 months of a severance package that they will 100% give you.

A "funny story" i told at lunch a while back was that Lockheed, our competitor yet partner, lost like 80% of its stonk price (and recovered the next day) while its various sub-contractors were unaffected the whole time. A bit later, there was some all-hands-invited team call about how the company is about to make a fuckton of money very soon because there are signed contracts for various pieces of equipment, and everyone knows the old stuff being maintained is not going anywhere. Canada is a silly place full of silly people, but our defence industry operates on jamaica time

>your country's ass is crammed with jeets
