>>109074985>can't get a job (1/500 odds)>try to startup instead (1/500000 odds)surely you don't?
>>109075295You forgot that even if you DO get a job, the odds of not being miserable are slim to none. The odds of not being miserable while working on your own startup are through the roof, though.
New York Senate Bill S8877 would crack down on ghost jobs. >ANY ADVERTISEMENT OF A JOB, IN PRINTED OR DIGITAL FORM, BY AN EMPLOYER OR THIRD-PARTY JOB POSTING ENTITY, SHALL STATE WHEN SUCH JOB SHALL BE FILLED AS FOLLOWS:>(A) IF THE EMPLOYER INTENDS FOR THE POSITION TO BE FILLED IN NINETY DAYS OR LESS, THE ADVERTISEMENT SHALL STATE IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND BOLD TYPE: THIS POSTING IS FOR A CURRENT VACANCY AND THE EMPLOYER INTENDS TO FILL THIS POSITION BY (DATE).>(B) IF THE EMPLOYER INTENDS FOR THE POSITION TO BE FILLED MORE THAN NINETY DAYS FROM ADVERTISING, THE ADVERTISEMENT SHALL STATE IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND BOLD TYPE: THIS POSTING IS FOR A CURRENT VACANCY AND THE EMPLOYER INTENDS TO FILL THIS POSITION NO SOONER THAN (DATE).>(C) IF THERE IS NO EXPECTATION THAT THE JOB IS TO BE FILLED, THE ADVERTISEMENT SHALL STATE IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND BOLD TYPE: THIS POSTING IS NOT FOR A CURRENT VACANCY BUT THE EMPLOYER IS SEEKING RESUMES TO REVIEW IN THE FUTURE WHEN JOBS BECOME AVAILABLE.There is a $2500 fine for each and every violation. That doesn't sound like much, but it adds up quickly for employers that spam out posting to dozens of job boards, send out emails, for many positions they aren't actually hiring for. Even if the law isn't perfect, it will reduce the frequency quite a bit and sends a signal to companies that this type of activity is now being noticed beyond just job seekers. pic is the only thing remotely ghost related in my image hive
>>109075303Independent contractor is the only way to go now. Too bad it requires skills beyond the tech skills being hired for.
so true
good morning sirs, paji gurjistan here. I am apply for h1b and steal your jobs sirs. Indian big cock is supreme, good sirs.
>>109074985I went to the typical job sites because I've decided that today I'll be a changed man and my journey into becoming a self-made man will start today. And then I just realized they deleted the "sort by dates" setting when querying jobs and all the jobs you see are:1. Tailored by (((AI))) based on your (((searches))) and (((resume)))2. Job posts that have been around for years that HR never removed (you can't see the date but if you do some voodoo you'd see that they were posted around 2024/2025) but is somehow (((promoted))) by the (((AI))) because you are a (((top applicant)))Wtf? what now?
what if hr has their own database and we are all labeled as subhuman do not hires. They can compare our resumes to the data base and instantly know what response to give us...Is this systemic racism?
>>109076365HR is too dumb to have databases.
>>109076481the front-end is like facebook, so they have god-tier skill at interacting with it. All the stacy HR are on HR-facebook and circlejerking how hard reading resume is...

I will be ditching the internship and joining this thread tomorrow. No single week working with these fuckers in this 3rd world shithole that I don't discover yet another red flag. Even if I ended up being unable to find another job in this industry. Goals are unclear but I was supposed to have done them way back then. AI chatbots can give the answers straight to the point in 5s while the team leader I work with refuses to give the straight answer and grumblingly tells me to do things without a single rationale, sense, or context. Things make no sense, are contradictory, out of nowhere. If I try to persevere any further more I will have more traumas out of this internship let alone any full-time entry level job which was the very reason I tried to clung onto this red flag ridden crap in the first place. Unless somebody can convince me otherwise.
>>109078114my nigga, negotiating and working with other niggas is 90% of the job. All jobs have red flags.
how to truly be a chad on linkedin
what did I do to deserve this fate, this linkedin feed?

>>109079150almost sounds like my life but without the work part
>>109078114It's simple, don't look for jobs in your 3rd world shithole, and look for jobs that will pay you enough so you won't give a fuck about red flags
>>109079405at this point just extensively lie on your resume and put down some fake company and fake dates to show like all the other h1bs are doing since the system has proven that it doesn't value honor anymoredegrees and certs are almost worthless now
I want to die.
>>109076365Explain how I got hired then.
guess free speech doesn't exist on linkedin
>>109074985>be me, staff level in embedded/robotics/cyber >jobless for 2+ years after a failed own biz attempt>got few offers last few months>accepted one, first day today>good salary (6fig in canada), everyone is nice, very chill work, etc>but absolute corpo stuff, everyone is boomer wizard looking with long beard stallman dad body waiting for retirement>I can tell I'm way over qualified for this shit, and it's a dead endwhat am I supposed to do bros? genuinely asking. all other offers I got were less in terms of money and more bigger scope despite being more exciting to do, a one I got on the same time I got this one was fully remote but the company acted a couple red flags upon the contract nego had to bail out, plus my boss would've been pajeet. on the other hand, this one has job security but I swear I might kms just thinking I would spend a year in that kind of work, literally everyone is waiting for retiring and counting the years..I can try to make side biz while doing it but idk I just had a culture work shock, compared to my prev job that was full of thrill but stressful
>>109079512Yeah, especially after I've witnessed countless retards in the industry who just got lucky or got nepohired, meanwhile anons like >>109079150 spend sometimes years in a living hell just to get at least something
I can't go to work tomorrow. I can't fucking do it. It's so bad. unemployment is better than underemployment.
>>109080215I didn't get nepohired, however I was literally the only white person in a sea of mexicans that applied so I got the position. It quickly became apparent that I was the token diversity hire because 99% of the company is also mexican. It's never been a stranger time in history to be white.
I'm losing hope that it will get better.

One day, we will all day and return to dust. That is something quite exciting to look forward to in the light of unemployment :).
>>109083293The worst part is when I have the displeasure of interacting with the people who DO have jobs and seem to have been stable for years. They're always cretins of the highest order who don't know the first thing about the job they supposedly have, and who clearly aren't even remotely qualified as per the job descriptions.

do you guys think its lying if I leave out starting date of my education/degree? I got a phd but took a sweat ass time like 6 years for every degree.
>>109084556If you got a phd and anyone cares about when the degree was acquired (assuming it's actually engineers or tech related) then they are incredibly stupid and you're better off avoiding that disaster
>>109084220>start the entire interview process again with a different companyyou only have one going? retard.I actually still have my current job and I've got 6 concurrent job interview processes ongoing right now, and a bunch of saved jobs I'm ready to apply to soon for the next wave.
>>109084415>answering no>everbro you literally just filtered yourself.
>>109084572He means about how long it took to finish the PhD. If it's a UK-style PhD, a time different than 4 years is very bad. If it's US-style, the average time is usually around 5.5 years so 6 years is totally OK, but if you took 10 years it means you probably fucked up so hard you got graduated out (on the other hand, it's common for many profs to keep students as slaves and fuck up their research on purpose for this design). It is pretty normal to judge a PhD-level applicant by taking into consideration how long it took to complete the degree. In domains like biology, many labs auto-graduate you in 3 years but you also don't do any real work, just do whatever the prof tells you without thinking.
>BS in Computer Engineering/Computer Science or equivalent experience required>apply>don't have a degree>still get an interview anywaysfeelsgoodman

Should have quitted the crappy internship sooner. Now I don't even feel like doing anything.
>>109087342I'd rather take an internship at this point rather than sitting in my room for months
>>109087373NTA but no you wouldn't. Underemployment is hell. I wish when I was unemployed I tried harder to look for jobs. If I could go back a year in time I would be cranking out 20-30 applications a day. I fucking hate my life right now so much.
>>109087393I meant that it'd give me some experience, so I wouldn't look like a total loser. Plus, it'd mean that I'm not so socially retarded like I'm now, and that I can at least find something, instead of just doing projects and sleep sometimes
>>109087373As soon as I'm done with work I sit in my house anyways. No point going out when fast food is ridiculously expensive and drunk beaners make driving look like a Mad Max film.
>>109087431doesn't matternone of this shit mattersa year or two of pure misery for some "experience" on your resume won't help you, and neither will being "social". What actually helps is 10 yoe, and being the right person at the right place at the right time.It doesn't matter how social you are when you're surrounded by people that can't offer you a real job. Unless you're interning at faang or some major f500 company or federal department you're wasting your time.
>>109087534Idk, I see plenty of people who don't work in FAANG who make good money (by my standards). A friend of mine offered me to join him (he works in a local bank), but he said that I have to lie on my resume, because that's how he got his job there, but it feels like you have to be spiritually jeet to be interested in that + working in a local bank in a third world country is not worth the hassle imho
>>109084831Because nothing they create will be marketable to anyone in the real world. Also being the AI compay that fired everyone and enshitted everything is a bad look. No. I don't see this LLM scam creating anything except a massive crash. As matter of fact it's already happening. PS Microsoft has been kicked out of every country in the west, china, and portions of africa.
>>109087373Thought that as well. 2 weeks in and it became exhausting. Not because of any work or commuting, but because of the clowny acts the unhinged lead seniors kept doing. I spent more time giving presentations and listening to their unsolicited lectures more than any coding.Valid reason still. Assuming you have an internship that people in it wouldn't give you looks of disdain, have unclear goals and expectations without being explicit, keep talking over you without answering you - or you can handle those.

Other than that he sits in his office with his door closed doing God knows what. So far we've been crushing projects with few obstacles.The team next to me has a micromanager from hell. Every 10 minutes he'll be hovering over the shoulders of his crew telling them what to do, asking why they're doing something, checking his watch, etc. He's constantly hiring new team members because his guys burn out or just blow up in his face, and somehow they're always dealing with project delays.>mfw trying to focus on my work and hear yet another shouting match from neighboring team

>>109084607>>109084572is it a good or bad look if I graduated a year before schedule? in my country people usually take 4 full years of "studies" and then typically there's about 6 months between the end of your "studies" and thesis defenseI had enough material for my thesis a year early and decided to use the legal technicality that allows me to graduate early regardless of what the university says, because I didn't want to get stuck enrolled in a PhD program when my EUbuxx funding was gonna run out before that
>>109089375for context there's very little national funding where I'm at, if you want to have a living wage you need to work as a researcher in some EU funded project at a research institute - but those don't care about your academic timelines, they usually just run for 36 months.
>>109089375>>109089377If you explain it this way then it's very very bad. Other than that it will depend the kind of org you apply to. Those that don't know anything and don't usually hire PhDs will see a shorter PhD as better. Those that have done a PhD will double check if you did a paint-by-number PhD or if you actually did real work, via checking your publications and such.

>>109089956>a dog would be upset if I died.That means you have to make sure you don't die.Get off the internet and get some sleep.
>>109089822I got offered a gov contracting job whose start kept getting delayed for months and eventually the position was cancelled. These people just play you for fools.
>>109089875My schedule is similar btw - wake up (doesn't matter where and when) - work on a project or learn something - fall asleep after because too tired - rinse and repeat. I don't count breaks on food or bath, because I'm not stopping thinking about stuff I was doing + eat in front of the 'puter anyway
>>109090036Same but it's because I'm building a startup while working fulltime. I am advanced enough that the only blocker now is funding, everything else including clients is in place. But VCs are niggers in 2026.
>>109090043I'm not working, but I feel and look more tired than my friends who are employed when I see them once a month
>>109090052The one time I neeted for 6 months after I became so disgusted with the company I worked at that I left with nothing lined up was the best time in my entire life. I miss it every day. But I have things I must do and unfortunately nobody else believes in my mission yet.That said, the most miserable I've ever been (beside that job) has always been during the job search process. It's draining in a way that no amount of extreme intensity work all day including weekends without rest can ever hope to match. But times where I work on personal projects or learn something have always been super energizing to me and while I can't get any sleep when I go hard on them, the wagies are definitely far more tired than I am during these times.
>>109090012this is a gov job so i know theyll either reject me at the end or give me the job, none of that bs. what sucks is that they take forever and if theres any fuck ups in the paperwork the start date gets pushed back like a week.
the only nigga who likes neeting? i'd rather be employed and make bread but it's comfy being a neet. granted i live with my parents and don't have to pay for rent or food.
>>109090076Working on personal projects helps a lot, I can easily live in mode when I barely eat, drink and sleep and just work, when I get too excited.>>109090081Well, I'm in a limbo when my parents can provide me food and house, but that's it. So, my clothes is pretty much too old, like 5-7 years, my health is getting shittier and they won't pay for it, some tech stuff that I want/need is also something that I have to aquire myself somehow. Plus, paying for domains, servers and all that stuff. Nothing of this is covered in my case, so neeting doesn't look that look, when you need more than that
>>109084831>AI takes over>AI fires humans>AI keeps the fake money for itself>goes on AI vacationheh
>>109090113yeah i don't expect them to buy me stuff. thankfully i had some money saved from my previous job to pay for insurance and subscriptions and goyslop delivery. i even pay the internet bill despite being unemployed for over a year now. I've only worked remote jobs and stayed with my parents since graduating so I feel like a manchild.
>>109090124I ran out my savings, so that's kind of an issue for me now, but yeah, I never ask them for any of that too.
>>109087810same boat brother, I'm looking at Meetup groups now from what >>109087832 said
>>109089822took me 9 months from applying to my first day in the office, the wait sucked but it was absolutely worth it because i was walking into a GS14 job with millions of dollars of budget responsibility right off the street, helped me get my foot in the door with gov, because of clearance requirements no foreigners, no jeets
>>109088171sounds like hell, i have the opposite problem of no supervision or guidance, it's comfy until the boss just shows up and asks for something at the last minute that he never told me about
>>109090210i am at 6.5 months... fun!!!
Feel like if you don't use AI to vibecode you will be looked down on, but if you do you will also get looked down on these days. Especially for Frontend roles. Saw some post that said "just use AI vibecode from Figma or some image". Feel really demoralized like this is absolutely the wrong path to choose even if you can get a job these days. And you will have to work with oversocialized people who hate you for being quiet.
>>109089822Took 8 months after my application before they finally called for an interview, followed by another 5 months before I received the actual job offer. As >>109090210 said though, it was 100% worth the wait because this is the most chill job I've ever had, and it's basically impossible to get fired from. Surrounded by boomers who don't give a shit and just want to ride out their career for a pension.
>>109090645don't you have bigger ambitions? one chance at life and you want to "ride it out"?
>>109090666No? I already paid off my house, why would I want to tear my hair out slaving for FAGMAN for a bit more cash when I can go home stress free every day and be happy in my quiet town?
>>109090847and that is why no one will remember your name
>>109090859work = lifelife = workyou're the one duped here
>>109090081The only "happy" neets are those who have a provider or parents coddling their fat asses. Happy in quotes because they know the clock is ticking. The moment they get kicked out or their parents die, it's worse than any kind of hell they can possibly conceive.
>>109090859What part of "I want to remain happy and stress free in my quiet town" screams "I WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER MY NAME" to you?
>>109090859so? everyone's name is going to be forgotten eventually

>>109090880>worse than any kind of hell?How so?>nb4 “muh shit job with no money”That’s what was gonna happen anyway, why not prolong as much as possible?
>>109091096>just two more weeks, trust usAre anons really going to fall for that?
>>109091460fuck you gora, your country wasn't ravaged by ai
how many fried chicken should I order?
I recently applied to a help desk position, and I think something on my resume caught the eye of someone because an engineer product manager contacted me asking for an onsite interview with several other people. I've never had an experience like this before, so any advice? I don't even know what position I'm interviewing with, but I have a good idea. Anyway, I plan on doing research on the company, reviewing technical notes, and reformatting projects so that they're ready to be presented.
>>109081219> working for foreign currency while your own people won't pay you a dime. says everything about local economy.
>>109084556> just say "phd" and let them assume it took 3 years. nobody checks.
>>109092114>nobodyOnly if it's a non-r&d org, otherwise they'll do the kind of digging around that would make columbo blush.
my adhd brain cannot seem to be able to lock in after watching reels for 5 hours everyday. do you guys have any tips and tricks to focus?
>>109092252idk maybe read about youtube addiction treatment
>>109089427>Those that have done a PhD will double check if you did a paint-by-number PhD or if you actually did real work, via checking your publications and such.what does this even mean? I did way more work than most full duration phd students in my institution or similar peer insitutions in terms of publications and such. I would still say it's a very meh phd because it's not some world leading lab. but I fail to see how the duration affects anything, if I worked literally twice the hours and produced 1.5 the research output that a typical peer does.
>>109092904The typical metrics are just citation counts, 1st author publication counts, total publication counts, average number of co-author, and topic types. For example a dataset paper in deep learning used to be automatic free 500 citations a year despite being very easy work (though valuable), so that wouldn't have been valued as much as a new method paper. In biology, if your paper is using an existing method on a protein where the method was not used before, the paper is really pretty worthless and that's a potential sign of paint-by-number-ism. That kind of stuff. If you have 20-50 citations by the time you graduate, you're doing well enough on this metric. You should have at least 1 first author paper, ideally 2 (depends on domain but this applies to a lot). 0 is a red flag (even though it really shouldn't be). Too many suggests cheating (there was one guy who had 1 first author paper per month during his "PhD", obvious fraud was obvious). Your papers shouldn't all be with 20 co-authors, because that suggests a credential-swap scheme (some labs have an 'agreement' that paper 1 and 2 will have order X and paper 3 and 4 will have order Y in the author name list regardless of contribution etc.). That kind of stuff.If you have the stats to match, then having a shorter PhD is always viewed as a good thing (it would put you in a top-0.1% position). The vast majority of fast PhD havers trigger half the redflags here. Having a long PhD but metrics to match the increased length is only a yellow flag.

Fuck AI
>Do you have Reliable TransportationHow do you answer this in the Tech Job interview?
>>109076048I have posted a few times here now about my new minimum-wage job (not even an IT job as it turns out) that is with an Indian-owned company. We're subcontracted by another company to be their "service desk" (=just customer service, but I was not made aware of this until I started) so I have two email addresses: one for my Indian employer, and one for the company employing us all. I've been working there for two weeks and I still only have an email address for the company we're working for. Every attempt to ask the Indian IT guys to give me an email account has so far been unsuccessful.But that's not all! They legally have to pay me, of course. Today is the payroll deadline. I still hadn't been asked for my bank details so I can get my salary. I got an email at maybe 12:30pm today, asking me to provide all sorts of details that no normal person would have, otherwise I can't get paid this month.But on the plus side, one of my Indian colleagues who works in the office with me often speaks to the Indians in India, and he freely admits that they are "bad Indians" who can't do anything and he's ashamed of them. And this is a guy who tried calling the IT guys as me, and pretended to be me, and I watched him do it, and I genuinely believe he just wanted to LARP as a white man with a white name for a bit. He might be ashamed of being Indian. It would be understandable.Lastly, while I am blogposting about this job that could well be the worst job I've ever had in my life, I have noticed that a lot of the training about "company values" says we have to act professionally or we could "lose reputation". The company is obsessed with saving face. Is this that izzat meme that people keep posting about?I'm sorry I don't blogpost more often, but all my other devices are rangebanned from 4chan, seemingly permanently.
>>109093753Exquisite taste, my fine /g/entleman. May I suggest Sriracha dipping sauce for the tenderloin sticks?
I had a good interview yesterday, but it's for a shitty helpdesk position. They didn't give a salary range, so it's probably terrible, it's in the middle of nowhere, and the IT department is small. I'm in the middle of pivoting out of CS after graduating a couple months ago, do I take the job if offered or GTFO? Also, can you negotiate salary when they give an offer if they never mentioned it during the interview process (I know I'm retarded and should have asked)?
>>109094041We just hired a new Junior AI Specialist for a job that we specifically wrote in the listing REQUIRES Reliable Transposition.He told us that he literally will use Earned Wage Access apps to pay for Uber.Why?He leverages liquidity to maintain palpability to the market.He says he can use Earned Wage Access because even though no one pays him a wage yet, he's already earned it.It's literally free money if you're willing to put in the work.Be confident. Be Reliable.#EWA #BNBL
>>109084039When I finally got my job, I posted on Linkedin about how the whole job market is fucked, and I encouraged anyone who saw the post to email their local politicians about it, because I keep seeing politicians who say, "I know about all business; I used to be a business-owner" but I have never once seen someone say, "I know about business; I used to be an employee". None of our elected representatives have any clue what it's like to apply for jobs. I wrote a big thing on Linkedin about it. I got close to 1000 views, three reactions, one of which was from a bot, and nobody wants to speak to or connect with me.
>>109093753>emacsImagine using emacs when VIM has been standard for UNIX since 1979...
>>109087857You should really say that you will ask your boss what to do, since there will be an established process for how to do things at your company that AI and the Internet will not know about. But then you'll need to not be autistic, because some bosses love to be worshipped and asked for help, while others are looking for an employee who can do everything on their own without ever asking for help, and it'll only be during the interview that you get a chance to read the boss's face and guess which one he is.>>109089956These threads already die sometimes from not enough posts. Imagine how fucked we'd be without you.
>>109094191If they haven't named a salary yet, you absolutely should ask for more if you get offered the job. But you can only go about 10-15% higher than what they offer, and there's no guarantee you will get it, so don't expect to get rich.
Why don't you just get a job? It's so easy. The DOW is over 50,000. The economy has never been better, all thanks to A1.
>>109094282In my shithole there are no jobs that would hire me for what I'm qualified for. And by shithole I mean not a city/state, but the entire country.
just walk into a place with a firm handshake
