According to my calculations, if I get fired, I have 4 years of living in poverty only using unemployment benefits and my severance money. If I use my savings I can go over a decade in total.This is without a car, eating only beans and subsidized food products, no heating or ac, no life other than using the computer.If I decide to get a part time job or a minimum wage job, I could live on that until I get old and retire.I hate how I have to think about this when I earn 110k in a LCOL area
As my job search most likely nears it's end, I would like to share my top 5 moments of all time1:>we're going to fly you out to california to do 5 rounds of in person live coding interviews, we'll pay for your flight and hotel and car rental and give you an allowance>"awesome! do you know what topics the interviews will cover?">*ghosted*2:>yeah so if you pass all 6 rounds you'll get put into a talent pool where managers can contact you directly and offer you a job, but it's really hard to get one unless you know someone inside lol3. >apply to job>ARE YOU INDIAN? DO YOU NEED A VISA?>recruiter A contacts me >ARE YOU INDIAN? DO YOU NEED A VISA?>get passed to recruiter B after 2 rounds>ARE YOU INDIAN? DO YOU NEED A VISA?4.>yeah so the pay range for this job is $X - $Y, but we never pay around $Y, let me get some better numbers for you5. >hi! your interview is scheduled for tuesday. >tuesday: sorry! your interviewer cancelled. we'll reschedule for friday.>friday: interviewer doesn't show up>monday: sorry! we'll reschedule for thursday>thursday: sorry we'll reschedule for next monday!
>>109405635Nimrods hell matrix really sucks huh
>>109404547we have Entra and SSR but users were supposed to enroll themselves in it last December, but most of them ignored it KEK
>>109405635Hey man if it makes you feel better I hope you never get a job or at least gets fired within probation, no need to thank me.
>recruiter went from calling me over an hour late to responding to my emails in 30 minutes to responding to my texts in a minute as I passed more and more interviewscan't even hate, I respect the grind
>>109405990do yall think we will ever go back to 5 digit layoffs?
Utwg got killed again?
>>109405912Do you expect users to do things for IT voluntarily? Some might, but most won't without incentives.
>>109406052it hit bump limit and no one bakedfeel free to do so yourself
>>109406062If i got banned again i will spam blacked porn
It's 8:30 pm and I just got done with my release candidate.Now I just gotta wake up at 5 am tomorrow to deploy this at 6 am
4 hour meeting straight, do these niggercattle not piss or shit or pick up their kidsGonna call out sick o algo
>>109406189I do NOT look like that (thank God)
how do I convince my CEO I'm not trying to scam them out of money by saying I need to do extra hours if he wants shit done by the deadline (an insane one btw)
>>109406280huh?
>>109406081>doesnt bakewhat did he mean by this
>>109405635>>yeah so the pay range for this job is $X - $Y, but we never pay around $Y, let me get some better numbers for youLast time I was told this (a couple years ago) I asked for $Y and got it.
>>109406081One of the moderators lurks here and is hyper sensitive.
I tripped on the stairs at work today in front of the qt asian girl.It's fucking over.
Fuck, I didn't even notice there was a new thread...>>109407209>>109407209>>109407209Tl;Dr: only good option is to wait to be laid off. Next one is to take a pay cut.
>>109407262I think I recognize you from previous post.>have a bunch of stuff you never got toBut I don't understand. I feel like I am missing something regarding this severance thing. What country do you live in? How many years do you have at your current country?(my battery is a bit low so if I disappear, that is why).
>>109407297How many years at your current company?
>>109407297>I feel like I am missing something regarding this severance thing.The fact that I'm tired of this company and I'd get paid good money (severance + unemployment) if I got laid off. I was born poor, so this is a lot of money for me.>What country do you live in?Let's say latin america>How many years do you have at your current country?Are you trying to get me say I'm Indian or something? LMAO, no, I'm not, I live in my country.I have "10"YoE. Many more if you take unpaid experience (my current job used to be my hobby)>>1094073035, almost 6
>>109407320>>I feel like I am missing something regarding this severance thing.I forgot to mention that I want to NEET for a while maybe, have my job become a hobby again, and maybe start a business.
>>109407320I asked about country because I live in USA and USA unemployment pays you very, very little and companies only give severence equal to about 2-weeks of pay X how ever many years you worked there. So, in USA, you would be crying about not getting 4 mos worth of paychecks for not getting laid off. 4 mos worth of paychecks is shit. Therefore I am not understanding.Maybe it is different in your country, I don't know. In USA if you don't work, you become poor incredibly fast. And getting laid off makes it REALLY HARD to find another job because people assume you got laid off because you sucked at your job so most people run out of severence about half way to finding the next job.Have you really done the math, or are you going by some wrong information?
>>109407376I'd get ~1 month per year as severance + about 1.5-2 months of salaries in total from unemployment, so more than half a year in total.I've been laid off before.>getting laid off makes it REALLY HARD to find another job because people assume you got laid off because you sucked at your jobMy field is still booming, I have many contacts and they know I'm a good worker. Only problem is that I have no certs.But like I said in my other post, I want to leave this shit, at least for a couple of months
>>109407403ok.... 8 months of free money... that's nothing. If your field is booming right now and you have alot of contacts then why can't you find another job?
>>109407421Because a lot of kids have certs, and employers love certs.>ok.... 8 months of free money... that's nothing.For you maybe. For me it's a lot, enough to NEET for more than 2 years. I don't have an expensive lifestyle, quite the contrary.Plus that money and my savings might help me start a business.And if shit goes south I'll just fix computers, phones or whatever, or might just kms.Also, see >>109407385
Haha the mods will love the black mamba
>>109405535I'm in a superposition where I have experience of a mid, which means I'm overqualified for junior and underqualified for a senior, the result? I'm told to fuck off from all three segments of the job market.
>linksdin gave up and now has a "seems like AI slop" buttonlmao
>job I am perfect for>literally everything they are asking for and more>oh cool they use Greenhouse instead of poopass workday, infor, oracle's thing, etc>salary requirements? (none posted)>don't even get a screener>disregard posting, continue>look months later, job reposted againHonestly feels like 85% of jobs are fake, meant to prove company worth to investors or adjusting salaries for existing employees
>>1094074378 months pay is 8 months pay. That doesn't magically become more money just because you aren't working. You are not making any sense at all. It sounds to me like you lack patience, you are in a good sitation right now and don't appreciate it, indeed you are being crybaby about it, you want something for nothing, and you will be pretty luck if you haven't already fucked it up royally trying to negotiate with your boss for free shit.Other anon asked you if you had a father probably because he was trying to figure out why you don't have somebody there to slap you across the face and explain to you that nobody gets what they want in life, and to be careful what you wish for because you might just get it and be worse off.
>>109407528I've been a meet before and it was niceI have my own house. Not the best thing but I can fix shitI have a bunch of business ideas that I've researched, some touristic stuff and some 99% passive shit.I'm tired of this retarded company trying to get me replaced with chatbots and asking me to RTO to waste my time just to have a % of the employees quit without compensation (I live 2 hours away from the office and have to commute once a week).I'm tired of having retarded, obedient zoomers as coworkers that will do everything they are told (maybe even such dick) just so they can survive. I've told them to stop being cowards, but they don't listen, and I suspect they actually talk shit about me behind my back.I don't care about this industry anymore. I don't want more responsibilities. I don't want to serve useless retards that make even more money than me.The scam is over. I want to cash out asap, so I can have some peace of mind. Do you understand that?
>>109407511definitely at least 85% of the job postings do not have an actual job on the backend.
I don't know what I want to do anymore. I've been in operational and architectural infosec for 7ish years now, prior to that heavy traditional sysadmin/infra work. I build or enhance programs, identity, exposure, threat intel, boring GRC shit, active ransomware triage at every stage, all of it. I thought joining a VAR would be kino so I could just build programs and give people useful detections for their SIEM/SOAR but I'm tired of having the same or similar conversations. It doesn't help there's no fuckin jobs out there or if they are its got one trillion applicants within 5 seconds of the post. help

>>109406189I know a guy who looks like that (he's short too) and he's married with kids.Incels are just retarded
>>1094076400/10 you didn't get the job
>>109407591Yes. I completely understand that. All of it. Completely. What I do not understand is your obsession with getting 8 months of pay in exchange for quitting. Why stress about it? Just go in, do the bare minimum, and go home. If you can't bring yourself to do the job anymore, then just quit. Why do you think you are owed money in exchange for quitting?
>>109407654Tuesday is the best day to deploy.
>>109407640the job opening was never real. they are worried that you might figure out that you've been jerked around for their own entertainment.
>>109407504I thought you were bullshitting but it’s real. What’s the point though? Literally 90% of my feed in AI textwalls
>>109407667>Why do you think you are owed money in exchange for quitting?I'm not. I just wanted to try.Though I do have legal responsibilities regarding my job, and I've seen some shady shit (that I might use next to get laid off, or to force a paid resignation...)
AI made me depressed.Not because I will be out of a job, but because I am too competent with ai. Got promoted because of it, expectations are sky high, I'm expected to be hyperfullstack now, and all I fucking do is prooompting, doing minor edits and reviewing PRsI miss the days where I was stuck on some coding problem, debugging, investigating, writing shit and feeling like a genius.It's unironically over
>>109407804Same solving problems is the only thing that drew me to this career to begin with. It's a shame to hear actual engineers have it worse then us in terms of pay.
>>109407804turns out, most problems companies need solving are not that complex, just tedious.
>>109407640>I wanted to reach out personallythis is pretty obviously still a template lmao
>>109407753If you keep at it then I predict that you will end up getting fired for violating some policy that nobody actualyl follows, without severance, and then the company will not serve as a good reference.
>>109407504LMAO this applies to 99.999% posts on that shithole of a website
>>109408395I am sorry you feel that way. If you are able to provide me with some more details, then I will put together an action plan for you that may make this website fell like less of a shithole. Would you like me to walk you through the details that I would need to do that for you?
Gender roles are legit crazy now.Zoomettes around 20 years old are all massive incels desperate for the slightest sprinkle of affection. In the last couple months I’ve had multiple 8/10s latch onto my ugly 2/10 ass, simply because I’m nice, have stable income, have a bit of muscle from going to the gym for a couple years, and am emotionally mature.These are truly the end times.
>yeah I'll go take a massive smelly shit while on the clock
>>109408432Hi, thanks for the offer. I'd be happy to provide more details. My main frustrations are [briefly describe your issues]. If you can put together an action plan based on those points, I'd appreciate it. Let me know what specific information you need from me.
>>109408496Just not doing drugs, having no major debts ie car and student loans being paid off while having a stable job is enough for most younger women.
>>109407804is it really like that though? for me it does make some things easier (fetching docs, brainstorming and debugging) but its not really that big of a gamechangerI also tried agentic slop with codex but found it way too expensive to build some basic crud ui
>>109407804>>109408496>suffering from successMan I'm so upset because of all the money and sex I have right now fellow losers
>professional people, especially doing front facing jobs who cannot use emailThat makes me upset
>have code from a senior colleague>I know that code is dogshit and gives false output on basic cases>be told to use it anyway because he's senior and knows better and don't reinvent the wheel (TM)>must use it in my project which results I am responsible forthey are setting me up for firing with a cause aren't they?
>>109408761>is enough for an oofy-doofyftfy brother
>>109408848>knowing emailNobody needs that unc shit, just ask openclaw to write and send an email for you
>>109408801>is it really like that though?Yes, if you're smart enough you can nudge the model in the right direction fairly easily. It obviously also requires some prompting skills and intuitive understanding how/what the ai will do based on your prompt.>found it way to expensiveThis will change, but right now the skill is to get the cheaper models to do things >>109408820>moneyOk and? Still not nearly enough money to retire>sexLmao
>>109405619I am considering the same decision.I've been working for a while, have six figures saved up, unironically thinking about just quitting and neeting for as long as I can and then blowing my brains out when the bank account balance reaches zero. Life seems completely pointless. Everything is black and gay. Can't even relate to other white men because they are all braindead gynocucks who are too stupid to understand their own predicament. Trapped like a rat.
The entire industry has been in crunch mode for the last year and a half. Crunching for what? Who knows. Who cares. Even the random shitter company five degrees removed from any of the Mag7 has decided they absolutely must adopt a state of permanent crunch.
>>109409123I've started doing this a couple times and I always end up getting hired in six months.
>>109409008>prompting skillsKEK>This will change, but right now the skill is to get the cheaper models to do thingsYes, they will be far more expensive than now.
>>109409290>cute outfits>morning commutes>desk coffee>real responsibilitiesi like how only her last point was related to doing actual work, and even then she didn't call it working, she called it "responsibility"office workers are basically in adult daycare until they die
>>109409290This little whore never worked a day in her life.
>>109409235Welcome to agile where every project, no matter what kind of work it is, must be performed in sprintsAfter you finish one sprint it's onto the next sprintNobody taught these MBA dudebros that a neverending sprint is no longer a sprint but a marathon
>>109409281>KEKWhat's so funny?>ackchually the models will get worse and all the datacenters will lead to less capacity and speedIs this what you unironically believe? Not even 3 years ago a model like the latest opus was only accessible to top tier 500k/year ai engineers and cost 10 times as much to use, now any second retard with a subscription can use it
boomers really be like>yeah let me work at the same company for 41 years
>>109409290>something realshe's probably working in the fossil fuels industry and deluding herself by "dressing cute"
>>109409352Shit sucks! I've never been in a company that successfully used agile to increase efficiency and remove stress. It always yields crazy amounts of work that still ends up getting bottlenecked by people outside of engineering who ultimately decide when something gets released to the customer.>>109409473>Work for the same office for 20+ years>No major pressure to upskill >Good raises every year>Most of your work probably gets done in under 20 hours>Less cars on the road so commutes were easier>Company probably still had a pensionNo matter how you slice it, boomers were the ultimate winners.
>>109405535I have 18 years of experience and I'm stuck in an entry level job with no future.At least I get to play factorio for most of the day, lol.

Oh my god management has no idea what they're doing
