This field is done for, being an above average candidate isn't enough anymore, you have to practically be top now. It's like some nigger trying to make it into the NBA/NFL and then having his hopes and dreams crushed because of how extremely difficult it is to get in, then chimps out and goes on a mass shooting spree. Here are the new minimum requirements to get an entry level SWE job:>150 IQ>20 years of experience>20 internships every semester>Have a 5.0 GPA at a top university>Must know a jeet in the industry>Have 1000+ coding projects on github>Be younger than 25 years oldYou miss having just ONE of these traits then you wasted 4 years of college and now stuck with tens of thousands of dollars of student debt that you will forever pay with your lifetime career at McDonald's. Now put the fries in the bag, wagie. https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/1rj2wg3/i_just_established_ill_never_get_to_be_a_swe/
getting into the nba / nfl isnt really that difficult if you have some talent and work hard. working hard and doing the needful means shit in swe. you have to do that AND be lucky, it's retarded af.
well deserved for being a tool of academia. Think for yourself
>>108282291Yep, the good old times are gone. My friend only did some basic PHP internship and then applied for some C# position he was not even qualified for and they hired him as a junior then taught him. He then had some formal employment history in the field and went back to PHP for a somewhat large company in the country, he then got a bit social with managers and got flown to some meet up/event kind of thing where he networked a little, long story short he ended working for a large fintech company abroad. This shit was 10 years ago. He keeps telling me "just apply lol". These days nobody offers even an internship. You literally need to have previously worked at Google or Facebook to even get job offers. I don't know what the fuck to do anymore.

>>108282291The problem isn't software or coding (although anything other than C or assembly to me is for fags), the problem is these people aren't creative enough to use the tools they have themselves. That difference between creativity and being a gimp is what distinguishes someone who can't be replaced from someone who can. It's that simple. You can be the highest IQ technical painter in the world, unrivaled skills, and if you can't imagine anything to paint you're as worthless as a toilet in India.
>>108282291Why dont you start your own software company?
>>108282366Good luck with that, you can just offshore coding for a fraction of the cost, which is what most people/businesses would do. Can't compete on price living in the US. It's also just another gimp existence, being a code monkey executing for other people.

>>108282291It’s really disheartening to see how the standards have skyrocketed, making it almost impossible for anyone without extraordinary credentials to succeed. The pressure to meet such unrealistic and excessive requirements not only discourages genuine talent but also fuels frustration and hopelessness, leading some to tragic outcomes. It feels like the system is creating a barrier that’s nearly insurmountable, leaving many feeling trapped and undervalued despite their efforts and sacrifices.

I was just thinking, the time and effort people are spending on trying to work for someone else, is it even possible to start your own software/service/game company anymore? You'd be competing with the third world on pricing.Back in the day you used to be able to use SEO and websites to make money, those days are long over with AI slop pages poisoning the search results. Website advertising doesn't make much either.Then there's shady affiliate programs, do those even exist anymore? But then you need to invest in proxies and find methods to spam.

>>108282411Dude, I'm happy that you got a job as developer but don't be delusional about the current market. Programming is certainly not "back to being a field that you have to be intrinsically interested in to succeed". I wish it was.My advice to you is to hold on to your job as much as you can because it's most likely the last job that you'll have in IT.

>>108282411>Yes, programming is now back to being a field that you have to be intrinsically interested in to succeed.Lmao, no.

>>108284318The definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over assuming that the outcome will always be the same. For example, importing foreigners. The outcome has been that it's been tolerated. So, surely it continues forever, yes? Like fishing, you can just fish infinity fish out of the sea, you'll never run out.

IQ is > 135, also speak a couple of languages, have written published books, military decorations from when I was a kid etc etc. On the scrapheap but actually have a far nicer life now. The end result of the influx of Indians and outshoring is a disaster for technology and civilisation anyone who has worked with them knows that they are frauds and liars.
>>108284722Sorry, what was that? I can't hear you over the sound of line going up
>>108282291But what do you bring to my business though? If I hire you, are you worth the $150k I'm paying? I can just get a Claude subscription.
>>108284804Thankfully I have plaenty of investments so yeah, there is that but the problem is that technology itself is reaching consequence point, very few Indians actually have the qualifications they claim or experience and technology is atrophying, dying, stagnating or taking directions that are completely counterproductive to productivity or function like cloud to mask vast amounts of inability, You wnat to know why the line goes up? Population fighting for resources, the earths population has doubled in my lifetime. Same ammout of (reducing) amount of stuff, double the number of people. If you think technology is conncerning, imagine what an influx of millions of Indians with fraudulent medical qualifications will achieve.
Yes, there is no more tech careers. Now it's time to put your tech skills to use exploiting the system. Learn to obfuscate your code and inject cryptocurrency miners and keyloggers into popular open source projects used by major corporations. Make ransomware and learn to wash your crypto through Monero. If society won't give you a job after all your hard work, then take your money from society. You played by the rules, you did what you were told, and they screwed you to benefit themselves. Time to do the same right back to them. Greece fell to Caesar because they decided to not pay their army, and the army and Caesar marched to Rome and took what they were owed. Learn from history.

>>108284343It's a neet jealous of people with degrees.
>>108284909In myu experience a lot of business owners including acive board participants or the major shareholders are inheirited wealth with very little comprehension or ability, this is equally true of frauds like musk, zuckerberg etc that came into post .com crash. The average owner of a small 50 million turnover company usually is soemone who got given it due to a parent dying and has an almost blank incomphrehension with regared to technology but WILL form strong opinions based on the first page of search results that they consider just as valid or more valid than any other voice in the room because a saleman told them they were clever. The productivity increase from the 90s happened in spite of these people not because of them. True story, I encoutered a senior civil servant once who would not ahve a computer in his office, he had a secretary who would search for news articles every morning, print them out and bring them to him and he would read them and then they would get filed in a special archive room as paper. If he wanted to read them again, someone had to physically go and get them from the archive room.This was about 2007
>>108285116I am not and never will be a thief and a liar and a scammer. I'm not an Indian. The reason India is the way it is is that shit.
>>108285136t. Tool
>>108282316Sorry anon of you don't have a degree you are just a clown, you may have a point that they have become zones of plagarism and bullshit but that just says even more you were too retarded or lazy to get one.
>>108285116Oh the end result here is that the Indians will be genocided, happens very regularly to them and is a recurrent them in their history as British Imperial middle men. They arrive, do nepotism and fraud and after a short pause they all get killed and forcibly deported. It's the recurrent story of Indian expatriate communities throughout the world. Usually takes about one generation. Same with Muslim incursions in places like Europe.

>>108284909since companies don't pay dividends, all you have to do is just pass the debt off to another shell and maintain the necessary popularity with tulipholders.
Since we're already all fucked anyway. Do you guys think it is worth going for another degree? I've been working at a paper pushing job and it pays okay but growth feels limited without a degree.
>>108285609>pays okayWhat's the problem? You're in a comfy spot no reason to push for something higher when there's no guarantee of advance. Imagine paying all that money for a degree and you don't get advanced or they suddenly say "you're too qualified for your position but don't have enough experience for the next one up" and suddenly you find yourself without a job or some shit.
>>108285609its hard to say because we're on the cusp of a proper economic restructuring. surest bet at this point is boomer care/scam industries (since they have all the money) but they may not have that much money if the debt crisis resolves itself and all assets drop by like 50% in value
>>108284909You don't own a business though.
>>108285650Healthcare seems like the only safe industry right now.Time to go get that nursing degree
The problem is not the software industry. The American economy is fucked and they are deliberately destroying it. I know people with two Masters degrees and 30 years of experience that are struggling to find work because the entire fucking economy is in a tailspin thanks to the orange retard and his army of 70-IQ boomers, flyover state retards and bible-thumping fundie niggers. The war with Iran is already making oil prices shoot up and will cause an already spiraling economy to spiral even further. There is nothing you can do because they are deliberately destroying your future because they don't want you to have anything. Whether it's at the behest of Russia or Israel or just the fucking elites as a whole, they don't want you, the average American person, to have a life. They hate your freedom, they want you enslaved.
>>108284909One of the biggest issues tech companies face is that they put themselves in the places with the highest cost of living on the planet so that they are forced to pay 6 figures to even their lowest seniority employees. Put your business in South Alabama and you could pay people $60,000 for much higher quality of life.
>>108285740Nobody wants to live in Alabama and Alabamans are retarded. You get what you pay for.
>>108282291The redditor is 100% brown because nobody in the US calls college "uni".

>>108285787>I got to live in south Alabama for a short term job once and I'm absolutely dying to go back.>short term jobYep exactly lol. Why didn't you just stay, if you loved it so much? Oh right, no jobs, shit pay.>I would bet anything you've never been there.My family's from there and half of them (the retarded ones) still live there. I'm glad I don't have to live there anymore. You had an extended vacation there, you're the one who's never actually lived there.
>>108285568>Why are these top CS grads getting laid off when I know people who are still working as SWEs with only bootcamp "education" and irrelevant or no degrees at all?jeet nepotism, fraud, fake qualifications and CVs paying aunty in HR via the whatsapp channel. If there is an Indian in HR, they line their pockets and dgaf
>>108285576>they'd be hired by the truckload if they agreed to work for $15/hr, no benefitsHope because the Indian aunty in HR who takes the bribes only does business in Hindi.
>>108285775They do in the UK and it's always been weak for tech and is in a massive recession since brexit.
>>108285892I lived there for 18 months. I hardly think that's an extended vacation.I'm actively working on getting back over. They had more space in my field, just for people more senior than me.
Indian aunty in HR works with traffickers in India who openly advertise their services on platforms like what's app. Indian sells his house, transport and personnal belongings to get 30,000 together. They supply a fake CV and a fake college place for the spouse and aunty in HR takes her cut to get them a visa job. They do zoom calls to tell them what to say and profide fake email and phone numbers for the references and qualifications. They do the same thing in nursing. More often than not the hire has not worked one day in IT and has no qualifications at all beyond some instructions on what to say in zoom calls. Aunty will give them the questions for interview and the answers and they just memorise it. After that they just use some of their pay to hire someone else in India to do the work or just coast until someone finds out. Be careful they will become EXTREMELY aggressive when found out, they see themselves as heroes who are supporting 20 people in poverty back in India.

>>108285719desu i think trump is mostly doing it to distract from the epstein files and because he believes a theory as nuanced as "war = high approval">the average American person, to have a lifei think it's more like the average american's life does not matter to the ruling cohort at all. they don't truly want to make the common citizen suffer because it's not like they could understand what that suffering might feel like in the first place. it's more like when boomers tell you to walk in and give a firm handshake to get a job. they don't do it to fuck with you, they just have no understanding of the situation in the first place.multibillionaires existing is kinda just dangerous to society. same with the president having so much power. it's just too much power to give to 1 person who will probably develop a substance abuse issue and get israeli/russian blackmail material on them.
