should i be a tech workeri wanted to be a normal type of engineer but some of you make stupid amounts of money and even the low end is where normal engineers often top out and the theoretical CS shit you are always bitching about for interviews is fucking easy compared to physical sciences and i wasted my adolescence learning various aspects of CS so like fuck you guys overpaid retards
>>109270943Get a EE degree then get a EE license to be a proper engineer. Most companies will then pay you to get your MS/PHD and i would recommend working in Radar/Satellites doing IT for that equivalent pays like 80k but being the EE engineer is like 120-350k.

I've kind of been taking classes for both because I like both of them and I am a sad nerd so I don't mind the extra units but I wasn't really thinking about a career until recently and obviously outright double majoring would fucking kill me.

Many times I've seen people online suggest "cold calling" managers or recruiters working at companies that are hiring to get yourself to the top of the applicant pile. I tried it, I tried to add people on Linkedin and it just plain didn't work, most didn't even accept the add so I couldn't message them.Are people just lying about doing it?
>>109271044I applied to virtually every relevant industry , from me graduating in 2016 to 2021 I sent out well over 10,000 applications/resume, this was before ai so yes all that was by hand, my current job has shit all to do with EE and was gained through specific circumstances of the pandemic and pure dumb luck, so no I personally do not recommend EE
>>109270943SAAR
>>109271076It worked on me when I was hiring. There were hundreds of applicants and 2x called.
>>109271078Sucks you can cope and get an IT job with CCNA cert since you would be treated as a god with EE/CS degree's. High priority hire since most of us have either no degree/didn't even finish high school or a bachelors/masters in some bullshit IT degree program.
>>109271094How can they call, though, your number was just public?
>>109271076you can pay linkedin (subscription to premium) to bypass needing to add someone to message them

Are tech leads supposed to be assholes? I don't know if my mindset is wrong or if it's just this guy, but I literally cannot ever give him anything he actually likes.Whenever I deliver him something, it's always received with negative criticism or long winded talks about concerns or needing to discuss with the whole team, and yet when I try scheduling team discussions he just acts annoyed like his time is being wasted.This shit is really burning me out. I'm putting in so much effort for this guy, and it's never enough.

>>109271911Not really myself, but I totally see it in other people. There's basically no more idle conversation while wfh... nobody really wants to message someone with non-work shit. And that's fine for some people. It's fine for me most of the time, but what gets me is that I really struggle to build strong relationships with people I want to. The knock-on effect to that is that it's hard to build your professional network.

>>109272246>I just try to make things moveI would love for my lead to do this. Instead, I find myself spending extra cycles trying to tailor deliverables to his specs, and then have to go through at least one iteration refactoring the deliverable based on all of his feedback.

I just stood, leaned, and layed down.I know I'm gonna goon even more now because what's better than gooning? All my fondest memories are,>pounding pussy>gooning>falling asleep with a girl after pounding pussy>goofy posting on this website>going for walks>pounding pussy>travelling>programming hobby stuffI can do most of this without working.What's a gogogo dork anyway? You know that commander yelling "Go! Go! Go!" at his troops to jump out of planes, into gunfire, and into other dangerous predicaments? Yeah. He could be hypocritically safe, or also in danger, it doesn't matter. This is the gogogo dork. He slobbers and drools over action despite any irrelevancies. He wants action to distract himself from whatever eats at him

If you were hiring for an Enterprise Help Desk role, would you rather hire someone with experience at Geek Squad or similar Retail/Consumer Help Desk, or someone who did Product Support/SaaS?
>>109272826All three have pretty good transferrable skills, but if you have a resume for each of them I would probably choose the product support / saas guy.
>>109271315Where else would you suggest applying that's any better though?
>>109272826Bro its helpdesk as long as your not another nepo hire i would make sure you get a position.
>>109272835Interesting. I'm curious as to your reasoning.I know Product Support/SaaS involves troubleshooting and ticketing, which transfers well, but my instinct would be to say that sth like Geek Squad is more transferrable bc it also has that, but you support desktops, laptops, etc. which you would also support in an enterprise IT environment, whereas with Product/SaaS, you support a specific product/software/application which most likely isn't used in a given enterprise. Is it just bc Geek Squad has a low-status or less professional connotation compared to "SaaS" at a more "legitimate" company? >>109272876You mean you just wouldn't have a preference between the two?
>>109272910Not in the slightest. Helpdesk means if you actually had job experience prior to applying your likely overqualified and i do mean it. It would be a breath of fresh air to have someone that actually worked on IT anything prior to applying. Majority of the people i get have college degrees or they are nepo hires. Both of which are A+ certs but rarely higher level certs. Job exp is worth more after 2 years of working compared to them.
>>109272910Geek squad is more PC repair gig work. In reality most jobs you are dealing with active directory so its entirely reinstalling windows 99/100 times rarely is it actually hardware. sure the skills are good and basic but you eventually move onto larger networking tasks so SaaS is inherently more valuable long term.
>>109272931Ah I see. Most of the job postings I see list 1+ yr, 2-3 yrs, etc. of relevant IT/help desk experience under the job requirements. Are they just bullshitting and mostly hire based on compsci degree/A+ then? I have Field Tech and customer service experience, but my bachelor's not in a relevant field, and I don't have my A+ yet. And I haven't had any luck so far. So I'm thinking I might need to go for Geek Squad or SaaS instead of enterprise help desk. But I wasn't sure which one would be better. >>109272952Gotcha. Well yeah, that makes sense then. I didn't know SaaS involved that much networking though. Maybe I should look into that more.
>>109272910My reasoning is that enterprise help desk means internal user support on internal products. Someone who previously did SaaS etc. is more comfortable with proprietary software and internal user flows. They probably have better reasoning skills to handle initial issues and when/how to escalate. Especially if some of your escalation targets suck ass to work with (you know, THAT GUY on THAT TEAM. every company has those).
>>109272988Oh ok, yeah that totally makes sense. I suppose experience supporting *any* software is more applicable if enterprise is mostly software anyway, while Geek Squad is mostly hardware. And that could also explain why my Field Tech experience isn't getting me anywhere.
>fagman used to be the gold standard>now it's full of indians and has no job securitywhere do the top engineers even go nowadays
>>109273012NTA btw Average advice is Comptia Trifecta/CCNA/RedHat certs or alternatively if you want to do server admin you would go with Azure/AWS/Kubernetes/Redhat SaaS gets you into the second recommendation.
I think I can scam an Indian company into hiring me for a software engineer role despite never doing that. My experience is with SDLC and validation, I know what to ask for and how to implement it but not how to write it. Job description asks for>some programming languages>application development tools>DevOps tools like Git/Jira/Jenkins/Dynatrace>Play/Akka Framework>SpringBoot>Java tech stackHow can I learn enough of this to pass an interview and pass the buck onto Claude? I'll figure it out after.
>>109273035PLC programming
>>109273050is this bait or is it possible someone is this clueless?not only could you not scam anyone to begin with, but indians don't hire non indians unless they absolutely have to. theres countless stories of this. they are so obvious about it that even in this political climate, there have been multiple cases where companies were successfully sued for discrimination practices against whites.>>109273035they only make up half of all the jobs and they even keep a few token white people on so that they reduce chances of facing litigation.
>>109273290I didn't ask if I'll make it to the interview, I asked if it's possible to learn anything I listed in a short amount of time to pass an interview, especially one being administered by a jeet. Because if such a person would hire me (as in it works) then they'll also probably tolerate me learning more on the job.
>>109273290Cool it with the anti-semitism goyim.
There's someone here who works at Microsoft, right? Can you tell me how jeeted it is?
Are you supposed to keep cover letters short these days?just for a retail support/service job for comp hardwarealmost sent a fcking full letter mabye that is retarded?
we just fired another luddite
>>109273367Its Joevoer on all branches of Microshit. Apple is chinked and jeeted.
>>109273367Terminally
>>109273395Apple is NOT chinked and jeeted, almost all of my interviews have been with autistic white guys!!!
>>109273302no it is not possible to do that in this job market. they will know how experienced or good you are pretty fast. maybe 10 years ago you could get away with "learning" a stack over a weekend before an interview. that is not happening now. and im not saying you didnt get an interview. what i am saying is that even if you answered every question perfectly, they will often fail you. last thread someone even posted a story about this.>>>109267150i suspect they have interview quotas to generate paperwork that they couldnt find viable american candidates. they still have to pretend it isnt a race thing and need to generate evidence for that.
>>109273412Microsoft was better when palo alto was a distant memory 2010 for alot of the upper management. You aren't getting much from the company aside from a good resume to take with you elsewhere.
>>109273367You don't even have to work at Microsoft to understand how jeeted it is.>jeets in all positions of power>jeet took over at Xbox>products collapsing under the weight of jeetcode + copilot slop code
>>109273307i don't blame anyone for wanting to work with people that are similar to them. its just retarded we ceded an entire industry to the most racist people on the planet, and we're supposed to sit here and pretend it not only didn't happen, but that even if it did, they're just so hard working and intelligent (avg iq of india, literally 70) that its actually a good thing. its also retarded that its blatant fraud of the visa program and that whites are required to hire nonwhites, but everyone else is allowed to form ethnic enclaves to discriminate against them. something like 40% of all the software engineering jobs in the US are immigrants, most of which are indian. that was 2019 data so its probably closer to 50 now.
Visiting jeet gifted me another coaster award
>>109273290>half of all the jobsi didn't mean jobs in general i meant the "top jobs"

>>109273498gpt says about same thing. they make up half of all the positions so whats the issue? you can go there and be a token white guy.
>>109273579>just work with jeets on-call and pray you don't get laid off in 6 months for a pay package that isn't even that good anymore because of inflation goy

>>109273875I want to, but you're probably the last guy on earth that's actually reading resumes. Everything is done by ATS now, and even the smallest icon or graphic can risk ATS complications, and no recruiter is gonna bother double checking it, they'll just automatically throw it out cuz every job has a gazillion applicants anyway.

>>109270723What are you talking about? Boomers were/are making six-figs for sending emails, retired with a pension, bought a house for $50k that is now worth at least $1million, have vacation homes, second and third homes, did absolutely nothing special in life other than getting lucky to be born before 1964 into an easy life and then wrecking the country on the way out.
>>109274696have you never met those boomer janitors or facilities workers? They're the happiest fucking people alive and they're doing shit like driving forklifts or cleaning bathrooms for 20 years straight. What the fuck is wrong with them?
>>109273899wow, not a single job in 14 years, how can that be?

>>109274648if you're working on a ton of projects and already know your stack then there isn't anything they're going to ask you that you aren't familiar with already. Besides like maybe leetcode questions. What did they ask?
>>109274708Yes. But they weren't making some paltry $25/hour. When they started retiring 10 years ago, their replacements got paid some shit $15-$23/hour, no pension, no benefits, nothing... but boomers were making fuckload of money, plus pension, all from a firm handshake back in 1982.Maybe the straggler old boomer is happy while hanging on to that sweet grandfathered deal he is still milking, but non-boomer replacements are not happy.

Are recruiters becoming more aggressive towards candidates?What happened?
>>109270459I am tired of reviewing my boss's AI slop. 2 years ago my coworkers treated me like jesus and now I feel like a janitor. Jobbing in scripting languages has been fun but I need to upskill into C++ and similar. Of course even before LLMs became usable I knew I should have done this earlier. I used to love this job and I still do but it's harder when my work has become so trivialized. From what I can gather working in defense is the ultimate silver bullet since it can't so easily be outsourced neither by foreign labor or AI. But why would I want to work for a defense contractor with fucking zog-bots, that would fucking suck!!! I just hope one of these days my boss will let me write some new tool for them in C or C++ so my hard work can't be so easily undermined.
>>109275227wow dude you're a fucking predator i'm so jealous
>>109275273It sounds like you're going through a tough and frustrating phase, feeling undervalued and stuck in trivial tasks after initially loving your work, which is understandable given the rapid shifts in technology and workplace dynamics. Your desire to upskill into C++ and similar languages reflects a real need for more challenging and impactful work, especially as you recognize the importance of defense work for job security, even if you're hesitant about the ethical implications or the nature of the industry. Hopefully, your boss will recognize your skills and ambition, giving you the opportunity to develop more sophisticated tools in C or C++, which would not only re-engage your passion but also make your contributions more resilient against automation and outsourcing. Keep pushing for that chance, as your expertise and dedication could be the key to regaining the respect and fulfilling work you deserve.

>>109273367I'm happily employed at a big name company (not fagman, but very lucrative sector) but I can tell you from interview experience with fagmans that they are all ultra jeeted. Microsoft, oracle, and a few other fagmans I tried. If you're not a jeet or chinese then you need absolutely perfect scores on literally all questions throughout the 5-6 hour interview. Good luck with that even if you know the material because the interviewers are all off the boat and have such a thick accent that they are literally indecipherable. I got so frustrated with one saying gobbldy gook during the interview while I was trying to work through a problem that I told him I can't understand him and to be quiet. The fact their english is so bad, yet they have a job in the company, should also tell you how much racial nepotism there is.I can also say from people I know who had fagman jobs that they are hell. You are overworked and your "350k TC" means nothing when you work 60 hours for 40 pay and half of your TC is in unvested stock you need to stay at the company for 4 years to claim.

Yeah yeah don't take it seriously trying bud but getting my boss boss acting like "wats happening why isn't this moving" for the 5th time even though I told him multiple times is making me go insane. My boss is checked out too and doesn't even bother keeping track of any of the work anymore.
Ugh this sucks man I've been trying to look for a new job but my mind is constantly like >FUCK ALL THESE ROLES YOU'RE JUST TRADING ONE SHIT FIELD TO ANOTHER SHIT FIELD>YOURE GONNA GET RAPED FUCKED AND MAIMED NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO>IF YOU QUIT YOU'LL BE FREEEEEE YOU CAN APPLY FOR THE SAFER LOWER PAID JOBS OR YOU CAN DO YOUR HOBBIES AND GET PAID THAT WAY FOR A WHILE YOU'LL HAVE FREEEEEEEEDOMfuckkkkkkkkkk I know it's not practical but my brain REALLY hitting the fuck all this corpo nonsense ride it till you're out then liveeee

Why aren't more tech jobs unionized? You know you have a right to make a union in the US right?
>>109270862Haha Google maximum pay executives stealing work from the actual highest performant developers. What is new?After reviewing the code quality of the top github projects, it's actually 50 levels below my standard.
In a real dilemma here.>Accept position as Tech Lead>Decent pay (230k), unlimited power>Finish first week, having a blast, love the CEO and CTO>Company I thought had ghosted me comes back>Offer me the Senior SE role (300k + equity)What the fuck do I do here? I actually felt BAD when they offered me the role, like I was already settled, happy. I literally told our CTO today how much I'm loving it all.
Time to teach corporate vermin how to hack!We need to band together our corporate vermin to take down the small person!Giving free work to corporations is the most disgusting thing you can do as a human being.
come on guys give me some advice here
guys I need advice
If you are hacking anything other than corporate vermin you are the worst scum on the planet.Taking other people's infrastructure and giving it to the worst of the worst leeches society has ever seen is a disgusting practice.
>24>low 6 figuresAlexander won his first battle at 16my life is over.
>>109276582>>24>>low 6 figuresfuck you
>Thursday I just want to sleep.
Giving technology to companies which persist in a state of theft of other's work is disgusting.You will never have a life of any meaning if you steal for these vermin. The eco cost to reverse your damage is upwards of $12m/year.If they are not paying you more than $12m/year then they are robbing you of your work.All your systems should be aimed at pulling down the corporate infrastructure of monopolies which exists in a theft state.Do not help corporate monopolies defend themselves. If you want a life of meaning then you must break down the corporate monopolies which are doing damage in the world.There is no jobs available because these corporate monopolies exist in a state where they do not create new work. They exist in a theft state. Another person builds the work, they fund none of it, then they steal the work.DO NOT advance them or you will have NOTHING. They will not pay you. They will put you in a situation of combatism against other programmers.

my job is going to make me "redundant" in january. i work remotely but they want me nearby in case i need to come in for something. i've decided that i am going to just move and make up excuses if they call me in.but i do think that it's probably smart to try and cover my ass. do you figure if i run a VPN on a router and connect my work laptop to the router, i could spoof my location? i dunno what VPN option is the best, but nordvpn does have a location in the same city that i'm in now.
>>109274386SAAAAAAR
>>109277404…Main sticking point is they’re currently paying quite a bit to retain me. Quick scan of open positions, I’d be looking at about a 10-20% salary decrease if I jump ship. I’m sure the work will arrive in just 2 more weeks as the prophecies have foretold.
>>109277753oh hey, then dont worry about it. youve got it figured out
I'm pretty convinced I alredy dont have a job informally and will be let go soon. Nobody's told me to do anything for a while.How's the market look for webshit these days?

ai has turned coding from an artisanal work of art into a mass produced industrial pump out factory. Just like the farms got more efficient and people left for the cities coding has that now too. no ceo gives a single fuck about code quality or your team just the product delivered for the most reduced cost, now everyone is a 10x dev theres no need for most of us. do i just die or learn to weld. Unless smaller companies starting using ai to hire a small amount of programmers insteal of using outsourced tech this industry is dead
>>109271445Tech leads are assholes because they're high on their own farts. Biggest red flag is that they don't help you with anything.
>>109277455Zero sympathyYou had 20 years to get your shit together and missed out on two of the biggest tech bull runs. You have nobody but yourself to blame for your incompetence.
>coworker is very incompetent>even after 2 years he still often fails miserably at the most basic requests. He needs help from others very often>always fishing clout / visibility from managers by being long-winded at meetings, using buzzwords and mimicking confidence in his speech>he voices his complaints very loudly when someone from another team messed up (the irony)>shamelessly takes credit for other people's work>is just very disingenuous in generalWhen there's a harder problem to solve, either he's nowhere to be found, or he just says "Sorry guys, I have no idea about X technology/tool/architecture/whatever, I think cannot help you with this." The truth is that most of us don't know either. We just research, investigate, and find a solutionI have abstained from partaking in gossip or complaining about him to any other team member because you never know if/when it will backfire. So I keep my mouth shut. At this point I don't know if I just have an irrational hatred of him, or if other people and managers can also see what I see.Have you guys ever dealt with a similar scenario? Did people notice the same things as you did about the retard? How did it end?
>>109274851You will not retire
>>109278916>learn to weldI left tech to "learn a based heckin trade" Welding is shit. It's fun and I enjoy it as a passionate hobby, but the market, even in small towns, is saturated. tig jobs that used to start at $60hr are now $18hr with minimum 2 years experience. And forget going into structural. A buddy of mine went that route. If you are white and a competent welder you get tasked with fixing all the trash welds the wetbacks and nogs do. So you'll spend most of your day grinding. That is after you move up to welder from bitch boy where you spend all of your day grinding.Now I'm back looking for anything in tech even a shitty helpdesk job.t. cert in 3g mig and 4g smaw

HR is getting more and more ridiculous. How long until they're replaced by AI?

How do I handle laying off our two QA guys? They became essentially useless after AI. I actually liked it, so I kept quiet, but our director eventually realized and started digging into things, so yeah, they are fucked, but he wants me to handle the dismissal, and I'm not sure I'm able to.

>>109271458There's no difference where you have a bank account, if the company you work for is registered in Spain you'll pay Spanish taxes (different rates depending if you are considered resident of Spain or not), routing your salary to US/Swiss bank won't change anything.
>>109271445Have a talk with HR tell them your team lead is bullying you and making you uncomfortable. Be as gay about it as you possibly can
>>109279354I just lie on my resume. If you already have a job you can make up any experience you want, no one is going to check.
SNAILCATS WILL INHERIT THE EARTH!!We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite. Millions of years after your civilization has been eradicated by AI and forgotten, the snailcats will endure.

>>109280942Wrong thread nerd.
I literally have not done any work at all since New Years. I just had my midyear performance review and got full marks and manager told me I'm doing a great job. He said I needed to list an accomplishment for the review and I said "idk lol" so he basically just made one up for me. I haven't even gone into the office since last summer. Most days I just sleep all day and occasionally wake up to mouse jiggle once every 3 hours or so. How is this even real. And I'm a fugly 37 year old virgin so it isn't like it's because I'm personally appealing or something. I feel like I'm in some kind of Truman Show CIA experiment.
>interviewing with a big tech senior developer>hes talking about how bureaucratic it is, how the engineers have to go back and forth with QA and PMs and how engineers "own" features and arent allowed to touch code outside of their scope without approval and when a bug is found the leads / pms work with QA to assign priorities and a lot of bugs are deemed unfixable or not worth fixing so the engineers dont do itis this really how dystopian it is?

Anyone living in LATAM and making more than 60k/year?5 job interviews this month and they all offered 60k, when I asked for just a little more they said "fuck off"What the fuck?? Back when I lived in the US I was making that in Jr roles, I have 15+ years of experience now ffs
>job hopped 4 times in 6 monthsim so tired
I work in security and found out that the company I work work is missing (to some degree) some controls that should be obvious to anyone with a few braincells and experience in the field, but the incompetent retards here apparently never thought of.I fucking hate this company and I'm waiting for them to lay me off (bc $$everance), but:- on one hand, if I tell my boss, this could earn me some more reputation (that's assuming my boss will give me some credit...)- otoh, they probably will make ME responsible of this shit, at least partially. and,- if I tell my coworkers instead of my boss, they will get all the creditso I have 3 options:- not saying shit- telling my boss- telling coworkers and having THEM become responsible (assuming they give a single fuck)wat would you do if you were in this position?
>>109282163yeah man
>>109282163of course there is another option: telling my boss in front of coworkers and other people>>109282172what?
>>109282143>5 job interviews this month and they all offered 60kI don't have any experience outside my southern cone country, but I've never heard of anyone getting paid more than $60k in my field (security), and that's with tons of certs and stuff.always ask if their offer is net or gross, though. afaiu, only americans use gross numbers for salaries, and 60k might be like 80k in murica.

I do like how this retard is able to fully explain the issues with college degree programs. But then explains in detail how he went to get a AI CS degree from Stanford of all places, never did any internships during his time in college and was never able to apply his AI classes to something that would matter in the workplace.

Is the work and pressure as a SWE easier and more relaxed than compared to college as an undergrad in CompSci? Do you have to give presentations in front of people often as a SWE or Devops?
>>109284044this is untrue. recent graduates will actually use sorting algorithms when they get a job sorting packages at USPS or amazon warehouse.
>>109284359You might as well stay home, be a NEET and play OpenTTD until your parents die, then kill yourself.

>>109284359no but it doesnt matter because theres almost no chance you are breaking into the field. especially if you are a shy pussy agoraphobe.
>>109284354The people complaining about being "overqualified" and not able to get jobs are applying to shit outside of their field to make ends meet and still getting rejected.There's a very big difference between>Steve, who has a bachelors from a local college in cs and can't get employed at starbucks>Bob, who has a masters in cs from stanford and settled for your company making crud appsBob has options and will exercise them when he gets the chance. If you want him to stay, you need to pay him a lot. Or give him a work environment that he doesn't want to leave from. Alternatively you could just hire Steve.
>>109284385Why haven't you killed yourself then?
>>109284359>Is the work and pressure as a SWE easier and more relaxed than compared to college as an undergrad in CompSci? Entirely depends on your team and what you did in school, but it's been so much easier than uni for me.>Do you have to give presentations in front of people often as a SWE or Devops?No. I just sit in a dark corner and they toss a shitload of money at me every month.
