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.

Shut the fuck up. Nobody here is unemployed because they can't find a job, they actively choose to be unemployed because their standards (salary, job title, seniority) far surpass their real world experience, performance, and productivity. Shut the fuck up. Take the 50k position instead of crying about how you didn't get to take Google's dick in your ass for 300k. Shut the fuck up
>>107266337No one is unemployed because everyone is a new grad and has never worked in the first place, zoomers call it gatekeeping but words mean thingsAlso I have a good feeling I'll be employed soon
>>107266398Being a new grad should be a positive for employment, not a negative. Zoomers (You) are retarded and think they deserve 300k with no experience or practical skills. Swallow your ill-gotten pride and take the 50k grunt position and work towards that 300k in 10 years. SHUT THE FUCK UP.
>>107266398>>107266607two unemployed millennial faggots crying about zoomersboth of you faggots should rope
>>107266633HR office sits across from mine. I can't see their screens, but I can see their heads tilted down at the phones in their laps 7 hours a day. I would hate them if they didn't share their breakfast tacos with me every Tuesday...

Anons, it's time I consider a different career path. There's no hope and frankly I'm no longer interested in doing anything related to CS. What career pill do I take?
20 hours out from the big interview, time to start stacking buffs>got a hair cut yesterday>Had a low carb lunch 8 hours ago (fasting until the interview, I want to be close to 30 hours fasting)>going for a 30 minute jog right soon (accelerates transition into ketosis)>energy drinks in the fridgegoing to lift first thing tomorrow morning then brush up on networking calls, UI basics, and binary search for a few hours before the interview.
We need ethnic verification in /utwg/. And flags.

How do I learn mainframe programming? It seems like that's the only thing left in the entire industry that's still possible to get a job in. Are there any books I can read that would get me up to speed to the point where I'm hirable?
Do you guys have Tinder Premium? I mean- LinkedIn Premium?Is it worth?
>>107267327There are a few yt channels that teach the basics but they go really fast and don't explain how they're navigating the ui. Mainframe programmers are in a totally different league and a dying breed. For someone born after 2000, it's a completely alien computing model. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I think you can get open source emulators to toy with and I suppose read IBM docs.
>>107266235haha OP I love froggo XD
>>107266269Nope. Being stuck in this situation is awful, no matter how badly you try to sugarcoat it.>>107266718More info needed I guess.>>107266955NAOOO SAAREE!!! Bhee jaati bhoti kati hai? Jaaaaa, mujhe barna khokurnay mirhe phorigal gaati chatee sari gorbhoon?
>>107266269i live at home and my mom pays for everything and i turn 30 next month.. fuck it if i dont get hired this is what it comes to i guess
>>107266718Before I started programming I had a truck route in rural Wisconsin bringing some stupid seltzer waters to grocery stores and local businesses. It was the best job ever.I kind of fantasized about getting a commercial license before I learned to code, now I'm wondering if that would have been the better route
I applied for a management job with a company I actually genuinely give a shit about (I used to work there and had an extremely good experience, even made work friends and was on really good standing with the CEO), and it's been rough. The worst thing about going after a job you really care about is the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it, constantly wondering if they already made the choice and just ghosted you like a bitchy ex-girlfriend or if you're just being impatient and that circumstances are making it take longer than you probably think it should. I mean, I put in my application a month and a half ago, but I also know it's the end of the year and the company is also hiring for a new CFO, so shit is probably pretty slow goings. It's just hard to keep the stress down, is all.
I keep accidentally mentioning my kids during interviews and I think it's actually hurting my chances
>>107268625i mentioned that i want to have a stable income to raise a family and apparently helped pass the hr filter, now i am awaiting for the second interview but i am also selfemployed so it may not be the same
I'm going to lose my mind if this shit cancels my interviews>company changes hiring software>new software is broken and doesn't work whatsoever>get an automated email telling me I need to resubmit my application to continue>i have an interview scheduled today
I have a job (for now)
This shit really feels hopeless unless you know someone.~250 apps and not a word. Jobs with minimum requirements that match my skills. The only snowball's chance in hell I have is a friend who works at a mega corpo but I need to learn ruby and rails REAL fast because that's their stack and even then they're probably gonna not give me the time of day.
>See job posting>Try to apply>Says I already applied (was posted Yesterday)>What the fuck?>They changed the title from SWE to SDET and somehow this shows up on their own website as a "new" posting >2 months and they haven't hired anyone for itFuck those faggots.
Alright one discrete math chapter today then four hours of socket it. The project.
>>107272059>This shit really feels hopeless unless you know someone.It's been said a million times over that nepotism and charisma matters far more than intellect and work ethic.
Going into an interview for a life changing job that I am grossly underqualified forDespite this, I know I am the best candidate they will interview. I need to convince them of that.
Just bombed a Java and SQL technical assessment and expecting a rejection email, how do I set a rule in my inbox to redirect all future emails from that domain into the trash?
>>107272256I've had positions that we had to delay closing for because none of the applicants met minimum quality standards and we had to extend them for new applicants. Just because you're the the turd with sprinkles on it doesn't make you a cake.
>>107272290>none of the applicants met minimum quality standardsThis is your fault btw
>>107272059>Step 1: Find a company you want to work at and find out who the CEO is.>Step 2: Without getting caught, spend a few days stalking the CEO, finding out where they live and who their kids/grandkids are.>Step 3: Once you have identified what children are related to them (the younger the better), find your local homeless community and find one willing to work for you (you can try your local Craigslist as well).>Step 4: Using the data you collected, have said homeless person abduct the CEO's children/grandchildren, then allow the situation to turn into a stressful crisis for the CEO (1-2 days ought to do it). Don't worry about the homeless person, this act will get them landed in jail, which means consistent food and shelter.>Step 5: "Apprehend" the homeless person and "save" the kid(s) by calling the police and making a big show of how you noticed the kids were struggling and needed help, make up a convincing story.>Step 6: The CEO will learn of your involvement, and will be immensely grateful - make sure they know your name. If you have a business card, now is the time to give it to them.>Step 7: Go back to the company website and apply for whatever job you want - make sure you mention you saved the CEO's family in the application (if the app only allows a resume and cover letter, make sure you mention it in the cover letter).Works every time.
>>107272290>no we can't hire you because you're not the unicorn we're looking for, you either have to be perfect or you're not worth our timeFuck off, HR scum. 95% of jobs can be learned in the first month.
>>107272290>unemployed>at the other end of the bullshit hiring process>still blames the applicantslmao
please doing the needful and give me job employ opartunity in work force sar
>>107272489Funny back in the 2010s I had an employer call me a "unicorn" just for being able to do both web design and web dev. They hired me the next day just on the basis of that. Now that's just the absolute bare minimum skillset everyone needs to have.
there's no way they'll ask me to implement a heap in a first round interview for a junior dev role, RIGHT?
>>107272739>harshitthe jokes write themselves
>>107273185>>107272465>>107272489
>>107272465>Go back to the company website andWrong. HR or AI will bin it without anyone reading it unless you were already a unicorn who didn't need to do all of this in the first place. You're supposed to ask to skip the entire process.

hello frens. i am bored and i am contemplating moving from my ansible workstation setup playbook to plain old markdown documentation in obsidian. i use debian and it makes no sense to maintain the playbook since i never configure the workstation. i have to put in some effort anyway since playbook requires some maintenance and i need to write new playbooks for updates and stuff. please give me opinion on if i should just use markdown in obsidian and note stuff or do work stuff for free

>>107269935I wouldn't volunteer this information anymore. Having young children means time off work. I think the cultural sympathy for the family man is fading with every passing year as birth rate dips further below replacement.I was laid off a year after my first kid was born because my performance was "slipping". It was, because I was getting up at fucking 3am with a crying teething baby. Working for my company with loyalty and enthusiasm for 7 years meant nothing in the face of metrics. CannedI tried to take off two weeks from a year contract when my second was born, and they canned me my first day out.I think companies used to think of hiring someone with a family as a net positive because he's got a lot to lose, but H1Bs and silicon valley larpers are actually way easier to push into indentured servitude with less cost

>>107276903Did you take my suggestion?
>>107277052Did you give me a bunch of suggestions in /twg/? if that was you, then yes I've been following themBesides today (when I had an interview) I spend the last week grinding it for 8+ hours each day. I've solved ~90 easy problems and 15 mediums. I still have to keep practicing some of the more advanced ones (greedy, backtracking, heaps, dynamic programming) but I have the main ones down (double pointer, sliding window, dfs + bfs, some recursion, anything with a hashmap)Thank you for the advice. It saved me today.
>>107277119>I spend theI spent*pls no one call me a jeet :(its been a long day
>>107277119Idk, my only suggestion was to watch the NeetCode videos where he did the Blind 75. He does a decent job of explaining why the solutions work, it helps you recognize the categories of problems and the best approaches for them.
>>107276581Yeah I love them and I don't regret it but I wouldn't exactly recommend it
Are indians flooding management consulting as well?
Can someone explain why LEETCODE is something you're supposed to spend 8 hours a day practicing when AI exists?
>>107277879leetcode is about efficient problem solving, understanding complex algorithms, and effective usage of data structures. The reason AI is good at leetcode is because the solutions are already on the internet and it can scan the solutions. Not because it's fundamentally good at programming or understands memory allocation and low level development.Interviewers are looking to see how well you understand data structures, algorithms, how you solve problems, how efficient you are at implementing code, and how deeply you understand what you're coding. They want to see that you can not only solve an abstract problem, but that you can explain what every single line in your code does. It's easy to say that leetcode is retarded and that AI can do it, but what exactly is supposed to replace it? It's a perfect medium for judging a candidate's technical competency (assuming they aren't cheating).If you can sort N linked lists and find the Kth element in O(nlogn) time, you can make a wordpress website.
>>107277964>Not because it's fundamentally good at programming or understands memory allocation and low level development.and just to add to that, the fact that AI continuously fucks up in real world vibe coding scenarios (telling it to design a UI or fix bugs in your code) but gets leetcode problems right with 100% accuracy further backs up my statement. Just yesterday I asked chatGPT why I couldn't import a package into my workspace despite having the dependency downloaded, registered in the IDE, and shown in the project folder. It told me "just remove the import line, you haven't used the package anyways!"But I can ask it to solve leetcode 39 (sudoku solver) and it shits out a perfect solution with optimal time complexity.
>>107277964I'd argue it doesn't judge useful competency post deepseek. In fact a leetcoder is worse than someone who draws arkitektur and generates the boilerplate leetcode.
>>107278036We need to replace leetcode with software architect problems. We should go back to pen and paper like the mathematicians. Calculating really fast used to be cool back during newtons time and then calculators made that field of maths redundant.Installing a package correctly is a overall Structural problem rather than some tiny order or data structure problem.
The worst part of this economy is I'd like to help others by mentioning companies that are still hiring/have applied for zero/very low amount of work visas but until I get hired somewhere it's not in my best interest to let people know.
