BTC is going to crash to 60k and gold is going to crash to 2.5k spot. Not enough money in the system quantitative tightening means there aren't enough bags for bag holders.
i was in a weekly call, idk even why im invited since i never say anything, apparently my joining was supposed to get me into how things operate like, 5 months ago and this weeks call there was a jeet who just kept ranting about "you really think im incompetent saar i am soo feel disrespected now, such disrespect is uncalled for sar" it was quite literally that. Normally i beat my dick during these meetings but this was the first time someone actually got angry so i was interested for once
Any older anons ever hit a point where they’re too senior and have been with a single company for too long and there’s no job switch that will have even remotely comparable pay, but the work is boring and you’re worried you’ll never have a big cool project to look forward to again?

certs for help desk is so fucking stupid. certs for entry level IT in general is dumb as fuck. I've seen coworkers with more sense outside the IT field compared to these bootcamp hoes.
>>107277817LRU is easy peasy
>>107278708maybe if you've spent weeks studying leetcodeIt used to be a hard problem until it became so popular in interviews that everyone started practicing it. There is like zero chance that a comp sci grad with maybe a year of experience would be able to figure out the optimal solution of using a double linked list.In fact their year of experience would probably hurt them, because at least in college they're learning about abstract useless shit (like linked lists) that have next to no real use in anything but extremely low level coding applications. A year of designing webpages or lambda functions or databases or whatever the fuck would make you forget everything you learned in CS 101.

Anyone here work at lyft?

1 more day until a week long vacation
I'm putting together a team.
I don't think I've left my apartment in 13 days

>>107279372lol. our company hired some indian team to upgrade a spring boot service we have and for some reason my team got assigned to approving their pull requests. it’s pretty abysmal. my feedback is usually like what are you doing here? this function is never called. why are you adding these variables? their code defies logic i’m not even sure if they have the service running on their end.
It snowed :)
>>107279714>snow this early>anon is happy about itI'm guessing you don't live somewhere where snow becomes a nuisance for several months. Scotland? south Sweden?
>>107279798snow is more of a nuisance in southern sweden than in northern swedenstupid southerners cant drive if they even see snow on the forecastthey salt the roads and complain about rustgood frozen snow or ice is much nicer than the slush that ends up being in the south when it comstantly thaws and then re-freezes
>>107279798I’m in that purple bit of the alps but not at high elevationTbf I have lived in north east North America too and I feel snow isn’t a bother at all if you’re a chad recluse and don’t live in the countryside
Ever since the product manager was hired and brought a bunch of data, kpis and fancy words I'm doing jack shit.This guy gets paid a big salary just to unload all his responsibilities on the devs under the premise of "ownership".He also established a metric to check performance which is retarded. Every task should be assigned x amount of points, from 1 to 5, that roughly equal an hour.So for the last two years my job is simply getting the easiest tasks I can find, inflate the estimate, work for a couple of hours and then do nothing. I genuinely don't give a shit about code quality, whether my work is going to have any impact in the final quality or if there are any bugs. In fact, the more bugs the better, because they are usually 1 pointers I can do in 5-10 minutes. The best thing? He's not gonna check it. No one from management is going to check it.
>>107280246>my job is simply getting the easiest tasks I can find, inflate the estimate, work for a couple of hours and then do nothingso your company bought into agile?good for you anon!i've barely done a single thing for the last 3 years since my company "converted" from waterfall to SAFeduring this time i've managed about 35% raise, in comparison to the 12% mean, simply by taking advantage of the situation and being more confident than the managers

>be junior tech 2 years deep in my new company>only co-worker just resigned leaving me to look after the whole state with over 80 sites to cover>it would take at least 4 months at best to find someone to replace him. How much do you guys think is a reasonable % raise that I could ask?
>>107280501>>it would take at least 4 months at best to find someone to replace him.You estimate or management estimate? I think you should prove yourself capable of looking after that workload then you can ask big dick moneyz
>>107280501If you have balls then 150% if not then 30-50% is the right ballpark.
>>107280586>Your estimate or management estimate?Bit of both, I was scouted by them and still it took them 3 months to process my application, then another 6 to find my co-worker, which resigned this week after just a little over a year at the company.>>107280597I think more than 50% will just give them an excuse to give me more responsibility, 40% it is I guess.
>>107280626are you confident that you will manage?if so, 40% is not unrealistic to ask right nowbut please don't forget to ask for another similarly sized raise in half a year once it is clear that you are in fact up to the task
>>107280867>are you confident that you will manage?It's not gonna be possible for me to manage 100% as I have to physically be on-site and sometimes I will have to drive for hours or fly out leaving other sites unattended, but I've been managing workloads meant for 2-3 people, and will continue to do so until they find someone to help me out which I imagine won't be soon.
>>107278332Thanks anon. Any good examples of how to convey that stuff in a resume?
>>107280246Your largest possible task is 5 hours?
>>107278178here
I have the feeling I will be fired pretty soon.
>>107281568RIP anon hope you get a job before Christmas.
>>107281634Thank you
>team im currently assigned to only has real work based on internal client demands>theyve been cleared or are already assigned to someone elseIm so bored that Im just dicking around in office reading docsI miss code monkeying
>>107281720Spend time and build a side business
>>107281720Really gotta pick up an office hoby of sniffing HR ladies chairs. It is a great way to teach you stealth.
I just bought myself $500 worth of crap using my company card that I'll use for "work" :)
>>107278761This id love to job hop and go apply for a better position but it’s been so long since I’ve leetcode maxed and I just can’t bring myself to do it.
guys let's come up with a new framework to gaslight the fuck out of those codemonkeys XDDDD
I've yet to be reprimanded by AI-loving coworkers and managers for writing code by hand. Let's see when they start whining about my work being too slow.
>>107282205You don't work at the Krusty Krab and no one gives a fuck about whether you code with love or not.
>>107281385Yes. More than that and the guy who supposedly checks this shit can't process it and he asks us to split it in multiple tasks.
>>107282234I care.
>>107281568>manager blurted out that our team will not grow beyond 3 workers>in the careers page of our website they are looking for a new employee>the job post's "what you'll do" describes the product we are working onIt is so fucking over for me.>>107282205I've been lightly reprimanded several times for not using it enough, and then several times some more for using it too much without checking for errors.
>>107281944You could scam the scammers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mceb_t8EIs
>requirements change for the fifth time within a weekfucking make up your mind your triple niggersyou are being paid a king's ransom to make decisions and not fuck with me like this
>>107282309>using it too much without checking for errorsThe lead developer basically writes all of his tickets using Claude, and then writes the unit tests using Claude, and then further writes the integration tests, code examples and documentation using Claude. I have no idea if he at some point stops to check that everything works.He also writes the product's requirement Jira tickets using Claude and the code suggestions in those at least are far from perfect. I just had to implement one thing where the suggested implementation breaks if a template has any optional spaces. Obviously none of the generated examples had the optional spaces, so had the AI implemented the code and the tests, it probably would've considered it to work perfectly.
>>107282433I wish I could write unit tests using AI. My AI totally fucks that up and my company won't pay for Gemini.
>>107282433We have a new contractor who right off the rip decided to point Claude at the codebase and came up with nice ideas like changing all the error codes to nonsense.Guess who has to take this up with management?
Code? What's that? I work in excel. I am a software engineer btw
>>107282641based WYSIWYG VBA wizard
>>107281339you know in job descriptions where they have their wishlist of skillsi've taken a lot of those descriptions and reworked it into my resume and turned it into a 'skills based resume' with 3 sections at the top>Desktop and Server Administrationlist your hypervisor skills, setting up VMs, AD from scratch, OU and GPO management/enforcement, ms365, azure sync>Networkingget a little wordy here, lits things about the OSI model, DNS management, DHCP, toss in some routing protocols and any other networking to make it sound like you know what you're talking about>Cybersecurity and Advancedanything that doesnt fall under the previous 2 headings...not necessary, but good to show you know how to do other thingslookup examples of various skill based resumes and you'll get the ideaonce you have your base resume, get it transferred to some normie template with color so its catches the to stand out furtherthis has been my winning combo for years and I always get calls/interviews when I apply
>>107278332>im still stuck on getting this last bit to actually workshit sysadminI have all my users logged in the office suit/teams/edge/whatever
>>107283274Thank you gentleman and scholar.
Which offer should I go with?115k/yr total comp with security clearance in Missouri or 175k/yr total comp in DC?
>>107283533Does the Missouri job require you to live in St. Louis?
>>107283541That would be worse than living in DC.
>>107283541Yes
>>107283533175k in DC is at least pretty good but DC driving sucks beyond belief. Its a different level of ghetto since in the south you are separated by highways and other roadways. Out east everyone is mixed in.
>>107283559Pick the DC job, it may be a bit of a shithole but it's less of a shithole than St. Louis
when discussing your pay you should look up the local african-american % and ask for a matching pay raise
>>107283571So DC means you need a 60%(reported number 40% but even the locals know that's bullshit) pay raise from what they are setting.
>>107283569>>107283567Thanks bro. The DC job is nit in DC proper but in a nicer part of the surrounding suburb, so I think I'll go with that>>107283571Kek
>>107283585Be lucky its DC and not ST Louis god that place is a nuclear wasteland of violence. Hawaii however 175k might as well be 60k anywhere else + its just as ghetto as DC.
>>107281481How did you deal with it?
Anyone forget certain technical things in their jobs because the last time it came up was years ago and you simply forgot it because your brain likes to do the "don't use it, lose it" method?Like forgetting why there's a data discrepancy in an obscure table when you go years and years into the past?
