If the experience is hard it just means that you'll come out the other end stronger. Work on your prep but mentally be prepared to fail. Worst case the sun rises again tomorrow and you're better prepared for future interviews.

>>107249397
yes that's how it is and that's why i usually don't pay even during good times when there are jobs but good luck don't shit your pants

>>107249424
yeah I've learned a lot the past few days studying up for the interview but what's really killing me is the anxiety over what they'll ask me, and how luck based it is. If they ask me dumb shit easy questions I can pass it, but if they switch it up and ask easy questions about bitwise operators I could be fucked.
Or if they ask me a shitty medium question that's really a hard. Or if they ask me about some library tangentially related to the role, which I've never interacted with.

how fucked am i as a sysadmin with aws certs and 10 years experience? more fucked than a developer or less?

when times are good i am soing 10 interviews each which give me PTSD individually before i am getting an offer. its because im mentally retarded. even though im good at my job I can't talk without sounding retarded.

now im just fucked. there's absolutely no reason to hire me over a normal person who doesn't sound stupid when they talk.

>>107249131
If by "his fault" you mean caused by his actions I guess a lot, but that is because his actions are meant to undo all the retarded shit that was happening for so long before him. Many people are intentionally making things worse in order to spite him and make it look like his ideas weren't good. I am of the opinion that this belt tightening will mean greater prosperity in the long run. Once shit doesn't collapse within the first year I think the bad actors will start to go along to get along and things will get a lot better.

The good news at least is that social skills are a skill that you can work on. I'll spare you unhelpful normie platitudes because I don't know your situation, but bad social skills especially in the context of interviews can usually be fixed and because you're doing tech interviews the interviewers usually have a lower expectations of your social skills.

I'll be unemployed until next year, that's it.

>>107250420
I'm euro so no.

I'm spending on UoP to upskill into the humanities for employment.
I hope I get a job soon. Unemployment benefits can't pay for the UoP degree as well.

Sent my first application last Friday (place where I interned) and it said they'd get back within a week but I haven't heard jack.

Now this is my 5-6th application in total in my entire life. Always found jobs through connections irl or got lucky within 1-2 applications, so please tell me if im the retard here.


But what the fuck are these roastie recruiters doing with their time? We're talking a tech job at a semi-large corpo in a medium sized city in northern evropa and not jew york. I'd be surprised if they got more than 10 applications a day, most of which they skim through within a couple minutes.

So why the fuck is it taking them nearly 2 weeks to respond?

Now they're saying it's winter holidays?

Get used to it jeet, 2 weeks off during the darkest time of the year and 2 weeks off during the brightest time of the year to enjoy the summer

>>107250809
And I'm not gonna get anything in October and November either.
That leaves September as the only month in the second half of the year to get hired.

>>107250525
they are getting hundreds of applications and so they aren't even looking at yours or they are choosing the best 5 out of 300.

>>107250824
Yes, and?

Hiring will start up again in January

>>107250828
I'm only applying to jobs where 30 people apply.

>>107250777
hiring season used to be February or something like that. with hiring freezes leading up to EOY. don't know if it's the same now

>>107250834
No in January they need to get back to speed and come back from the holidays. Maybe we have February and March and April to get hired.

>>107250846
maybe they don't want to hire anyone

>>107250859
That's why you get in the queue in November/December, so they get back to you in January, if you're just starting in January you'll be at the back of the line

No I have 4 yoe and no degree, I've already made loads of money (albeit when the market was better) developing actual products for companies. I've literally never needed to learn about time complexity because we have debugging tools that handle that shit for us, and 9/10 times implementing the "faster" solution just makes your code a 100 extra line buggy mess than no one can read after you.

Instead of fucking implementing a "two pointer approach" or a "doubly linked list" I'm going to use .sort() and an array.

anybody else spiritually unemployed here?

>>107251097
everyone in america is fat and dying from corn syrup sneed oil induced cancer, leading to a high demand for doctors
doctors can only treat so many patients at once, meaning that one doctor can't service 50,000 patients across the country, again increasing the demand for doctors linearly as the number of patients goes up
healthcare is also an industry that is growing, unlike tech (once you subtract the ai bubble garbage growth)

do you retards even think about questions for two seconds before asking them

How do we unionize so we can produce a bar?
License to practise coding should be acquired through an exam like the bar exam.
You shouldn't be allowed to code without a license.

>>107251161
Doctors are also strangle holding their own industry by keeping the number of new doctor low each year so the demand never matches the supply which is actually possible because no one wants a retard operating on their heart and every doctor wants their years of medschool and training to mean pay off

As I said before multiple times: aside from the fact that you being able to solve leetcode problems is not the reason why you spent 4 years in college, those said problems are not mean to be solved.
They are just not. Why do you think they are so contrived? Only a really dumb person would frame any given real life problem in such a complicated way

Correct, if they can't solve steganography related issues without crapping up, they are like having mentally ill junior developer who can't even read, the basics of computing language is coded language where an alphabet is replaced by numbers. If anything if your AI can't do code breaking it sucks dicks.

Hey retards, in case you haven't realized it the reason companies use leetcode problems for interviews is because it gives them the most possible information about you and your technical abilities.
It shows them

>your mastery over your language

I just don't give a shit anymore. About anything. I was never really drawn to technology or coding but pursued a CS degree because it's what my parents and teachers told me to do when I was 17 and about to start college. "Get that piece of paper and everything will work out." Got the degree, graduated cum laude, even published a small research project which I presented at a global conference. Nothing. Didn't matter. Nobody gives a shit and now I'm thousands in debt with no end in sight. Now people like OP are telling me I have to get some kind of work even if it pays like shit, is degrading, and has nothing to do with my degree. I'm sick of listening to other people about what to do with my life. If I'm really such a loser I'll just let myself die on the streets like God intended, but I'm not jumping through anymore hoops for the promise of "a decent life" just so I can get fucked in the ass a second time.

I dont frame them in such an unnecessarily complex way, I'll tell you that much. The premise is false.
>>if you're willing to put in the effort to learn solutions to DSA problems
And how would you measure that? I'm willing to work, period.
>>your knowledge of computer science
>>your mastery over your language
Which it doesn't boil down to a mathematical problem. It just doesn't, I'm sorry. If you think this way you totally missed the point of getting a degree in the first place.
>>your technical competency compared to all other candidates
See, the problem is that these companies are simply incapable of producing a clear, concise list of the issues they face. They want me to solve other people's problems, or they want me to create problems so that I can solve them later, which I guess is fine for any other do-nothing degrees but not for a supposedly "highly technical, highly specialized" field.
>If you can implement dijsktra's algorithm or a heap in 40 minutes, they know you can make API calls and program a button.
You know for fact this is a blatant case of false equivalence. One has nothing to do with the other in any measurable way.

you know how on reddit there's tons of advice from people who are clearly just theorycrafting? it's that. most people don't have clearances and just look at pictures of Doug Winger and seethe that some degenerate made millions of bucks a year to make tiny adjustments to a chaingun that could have been built in a garage

also, 100% of ones demanding you already have one just to apply are scams. If you leave a job that required a clearance, you lose it. You aren't le blackballed go to susjail type lost your clearance, but clearances are granted for specific jobs at specific places. Even changing jobs within the same company may require you to re-apply for a clearance even if your old one would still be active because now you're touching different projects and have different need-to-know.

On job listings at companies that actually would reasonably require clearances, they never say you need to HAVE one, just that you CAN GET one. And those jobs are fairly competitive because they don't want to hire someone, have them sit around doing nothing for months while the paperwork churns through, and only find out on your first real day after 3-6 months that you are a complete moron. (conversely, if you do manage to get in, it's easy to keep the job even if you are a complete moron because of the sunk cost of getting you cleared and having you sit around getting paid for nothing for a while)

>>107254053
I didn't know who Doug Winger was and now I wish I didn't look him up. Fuck you.

They're trying to get everyone addicted to AI coding.
When everyone is addicted then no company will be able to handle coding without AI and then all AIs will become paid and they'll squeeze all these companies and users.

how the hell is being a femboy going to pay the bills

when I've spent all of my retirement money I'm going to kill myself

I probably have a few years until all of my life savings is gone. maybe I should kill myself right now to avoid the suffering of watching it all burn away.

maybe instead of killing myself I could just go outside and start beating the shit out of police officers until they put me in a concrete room and feed me and let me take a shit

at some point they'll have to let me out of prison and I'll have to beat the shit out of another police officer to get back in

yeah, I think killing myself would be a lot better than living like that

At this point I should set up an email rule that checks for keywords like "careful consideration", " unfortunately", "decided not to" and "align closely" and send these emails straight to the trash or auto reply to these no-reply emails with a fuck you message.

OP here, and also the chink American closet lgbtard who first added all the Chinese stuff to the OP (and also the guy who crashed out so hard I had to go to the hospital).

Trump and his shitty economic changes are literally the reason my dad's company hasn't been able to nepo me aboard. Something something budget cuts yadda yadda. It's absolutely shitty, and yet for some reason my dad's been an ardent Trump supporter and Republican, as much before him winning a 2nd term as today. They were ardently the exact opposite during 2020 and 2021 and voted for Dems because they were COVID doomers, but they've seem to come full circle and shit. Chink parents, man, chink parents.

If I have to spend the rest of my life living with my parents in my unwalkable suburb I'm literally going to fucking scream. Whether that's because I'm unemployed, underemployed, or working one of those shitty 60k a year dev jobs (and believe me, I've been rejected from even plenty of those despite actually receiving interviews for some). Idfk HOW some people manage to actually cut off their parents scram to some HCOL city, and get on their own health insurance plans if their parents are being too toxic for them, but they just do. Probably from graduating college after 2012 and before 2020.

Ironically enough, I technically do have a tech job right now, but I'm confident it's not going to outlast college.

NTA but I sympathize with him. It's not that simple. Tarriffs fuck over smaller companies first before the larger companies, and the larger companies decide the play.
It's easy to say "just build it here" but americans are stupid and cheap and would rather buy shitty chinese shit to save money. And when the tarriffs hit, the companies that can't afford the startup costs of manufacturing in the US go out of business first, while walmart and costco have more capital to maneuver towards local manufacturing.

Of course all of this means nothing because the orange zionist is a retard that keeps flip flopping on tariffs, so in reality all it's doing is making everyone lose money while no investments are being made.

Tariffs having an outsized negative impact on small companies, americans being stupid, and trump being a retard are all true statements independent of each other.

its true though you're bitch made
leetcode is programming at a high abstraction level
if you don't enjoy that shit you don't enjoy programming in general. you're not cut out for this field.
idk what to tell you. did you think that programming would be just designing wordpress pages?

Got laid off last year, I should've left my employment dates as still working there because nothing gives HR the ick more than someone's who's unemployed.

Now I get all the awkward remarks like
"Wow you've been off a year"
"What have you been doing" (I have been upskilling but no one gives a shit)
"Why haven't you been able to get a job"

Might have to get a job at Sainsburys or Argos again.

missing the point award
if you're good at leetcode you're good at programming. It's not about "brain teasers" or "trick questions", it's about system design, abstraction, and fundamental CS knowledge.
The reason AI is good at leetcode isn't because it understands these subjects at a very deep level and comes up with the answers, it's good at leetcode because the solutions are on the internet and it can read all of the solutions in less than a second.

>>107262414

The rounds of interviews I did back in sept before getting hired solely consisted of reading code and improving it, out of 4 companies noone asked leetcode tier filters. The new workflow for leetcode should be have AI generate a solution and then fix it to be more optimized/correct, then prove the bound yourself like CLRS exercises.

>>107262373
I'd already taken a break to do that before my previous job.
I suppose I should plug that gap and lie

To be honest, the H1B issue has been bad for a long time, but the only reason it's getting media attention right now is because it's finally starting to affect women and nons, too, (and it's a useful wedge politically). But if you're a white guy and not in the top 30% of tech talent you're probably already aware that Obama-era hiring policies are why you can't get a job. It's all-but-illegal to hire a white man.

The thought has flashed through my head a couple of times that I don't want the work visas to end if all it means is that women and nons get first pick.

>>107255372
Lol its funny phrasing but I think anon was just trying to say they don't want their parents to bury them.

Why don't companies just lower salaries to reduce the number of applicants they have to go through? Clearly the supply side of the market is way too high right now and it's just basic economics that prices should go down.

I think if I grind it out I can finish the socket.io course in two days and if I just do one discrete math chapter a day, its math after all, best to let it digest. Then I can begin the secret project this weekend and ill be done with study.com on Thanksgiving.

>>107264065
because lowering salary filters out better employees, leaving more of the same shit people who are applying while less skilled people don't
thereby decreasing avg. applicant quality

>>107264154
The more layoffs that happen, the higher the average quality of candidates gets. They were getting much worse people at the height of the hiring boom back in 2021 and yet they still hired them.

>>107264207
You might get a decent employee if they just got laid off, but they're ready to leave without notice if offered something better. I have several interviews coming up, most of them over 100k. One is 70k and on site. If I get that on site job, I'm leaving even if I only work there a week when something betyer comes up.

>>107264234
Well I was talking more about the low end of the market, like junior and entry level jobs. There are like 1000 qualified candidates for every job opening, so why not thin the herd out by cutting salaries in half? It would get rid of all the people who just want to do it for the money and the ones left would be the actual passionate people who don't care that much about the money and want to do it for the love of the work. I personally would gladly take a full time job that paid $40k a year.

>>107264290
That would only leave entry level applicants and employers want mid-career applicants for entry level roles

>>107264488

Even if I dont get it I have a remote job interview on friday and I atleast want to do well enough to have tomorrow's interview go the full length. So I can get more interview practice and have a better idea of technical questions I'll be getting asked.

Then you're a bitter mind rapped shell of a human being who deserves every ounce of misery he has in life. I pity you.
