going into this field is a mistake. even if you break in, >75% of you wont, it is not worth it.
>>109763542I have experienceI can't get a job
>>109763575i dont think people studying cs right now understand just how bad it is. there are people with >7yoe who are unable to get offers. taking up cs right now is one of the biggest sabotages you could do to your financial life.it seems like an elaborate con people are playing on their parents where they can spend 4 years getting the degree (all online classes) with minimal work, and then milk another 2 to say "im trying to get a job, there just arent any!"theres nothing you can do to convince these people its a retarded idea either. if theyre receptive at all they just retract into this "Well theres nothing else to study" moping pussy mode.presuming you make it, you will spend a decade on edge from layoffs and pointless stress.if they sent all the h1b fraud home, which is probably literally half of all the domestic jobs, i would argue it still wouldnt be worth pursuing. they aren't even going to slightly curb indians committing h1b fraud and racist hiring. youre going to have tens of thousands in debt and they are going to fraudulently hire a 70 iq indian for an entry level position. then youre going to be working at an amazon warehouse while Pooshit designs software to make sure your eyes are on the packages for 99% of your clocked time or else the system will administer a shock to your genitals and then fire you.the future is great.
>>109763328Every day I'm closer to just give my ID to Persona and try data annotation.I feel like I'll have more luck trying fucking content creation.
>>109763716I'm an IT droneI don't know how to program
> finally get a interview after months of nothing> join call> they are all visibly younger for me> its a entry level jobI feel like a teen stuck in the body of grandpa
How the hell do I keywordsmaxx on a resume for a SysAdmin/DevOps job or whatever these are called nowadays? The freelance market dried up and I'm having to join the corporate side after working for small companies :(
>get laid off with two other dudes on my team>a few months later>the company has three job openings for those same positions>except instead of being remote they demand you work near HQ >the city has barely 15,000 people there>four months later they still can't find anyone and the positions are still openCan someone explain this boomer butthurt meme with working remote? Why does it make them so angry?
>>109763803Skill issue, I'm 32 but I still look 18.
>>109763716Idk I graduated from wgu and setup my LinkedIn and there seems to be an okay amount of positions but also a ton of recruiters reaching out but the catch is you will probably have to move states and are obviously starting on the bottom rung 50k a year but if you love computers and dont want to work with anything else then we're not going to get rid of all the computers anytime soon right?
>>109763716I had to do something to get neetbux so I picked CS. I even managed to shorten the degree from 3 to 2 years. I'm not even salty and don't care, as I'm currently doing my 3rd degree to keep my neetbux as I hope to make it with my saas using AI. House already paid and all that shit so no real pressure.
>>109764333They need people in the office to play office politics.
>>109764583>the bottom rung 50k a yearGo work at Walmart, get into management, and make far more than that within a year. No degree required and the work is easy.
>>109764583>guy that fell for wgu scam degree is going to fall for fake recruiters on linkedin nextlet us know how many of those totally real messages lead to offers
>>109764583did you get a job tho?welcome to clownworld, you just couldn't help yourself could you.
>>109765195I'm not doing it for the money, I love computers.>>109765239>>109765288I'll know for sure in two weeks but my recruiter said I was shoe in after training. I just have to not flub the workshop.
i would be more thank ok making 50k/year
>>109760368I passed. got an 85% ironically.Core 2 test is same time tomorrow though, but I'm less worried about that since my main pain point was Networking.
I have 4 internship interviews this week, all from video, how do I make sure I don’t fuck my shit up?
>>109764397
>>109763803On the flipside of this.>join call for government role>it's all ancient old people who will never retire. They'll hold that fucking role as their corpse is lowered into the groundShits fucked
>>109763575same and a bachelorsi had more job interviews literally 4 years ago when i had 4 years LESS experience lmao
>>109765814training? workshop? wtf are you talking aboutand your "not doing it for the money" naivety will fade when you're paying rent on your own and not living in your parents' house
>>109767595The recruiter gives a one week training program then you have a three day workshop with the client and they hire all their favorites do I gotta get my tongue pierced I dont gotta get my tongue pierced right?
>>109764583lmao dis nigga out from duolingo university
>>109767736Uh we did a lot of supervised learning in python and the java full stack forma de thymeleaf front end and you know three chinese guys sitting in a circle eating rice with chopsticks or I mean fork and spoon semaphore you know what I mean also I learned calculus its the slope of the tangent line and statostics anova please I want to kiss a girl
>>109767736I literally made a my own cpu in logisim I am a unironic literal God and infinitely more powerful than most all other humans thanks to my edication at wgu.
Dont forget finding the closed form of linear homogenous recurrence relations and djikstras algorithm and hash functions for O1 lookups and all the other stuff I know
Did I mention im linux essentials certified (and itil 4, not information technology infrastructure library... just... itil, recall the 34 practices and 4 guiding principles)
>>109763716I am currently studying csMy employer paysIt's an online degreeI want to use open source programs on Linux and avoid cloud services, so I study cs for personal reasons. What frustrates me is the curriculum is dogshit. Studying to pass multiple choice tests is a dead end. Each class should be a project. But the project classes have me do tedious Java frameworks which feels extremely useless and stupid especially in the age of AI, I can have AI do the projects for me but its still a waste of time, but hey the school is "accredited" or some shit
>>109767941AI is good for small isolated stuff but is less economical when it has to work with a code base thats more than a handful of files.
>>109767915I was more skilled than 99% folks in my college and people whom I talked to who work at companies or do some freelance, and I make 0$ and live in a third world shithole with no jobs and only viable career option being to die in a war.
>tfw when you could have gone to med school but you fell for the CS meme and now you are unemployed Anybody else here completely retarded?
>>109763328>https://openai.com/index/gpt-6-astra/It's skilled labor time boys. It's time to quit and pivot while we still can. This shit is top tier PhD level at mathematics and has just solved a millennium prize problem. We're legitimately fucked.>>109763542It's a massive mistake to get into any field that does not require use of your hands. >But muh roboticsThat takes resources, humans are cheaper and always will be.
>>109768632Yep, started out with a promising path in health care, then switched to CS to avoid being a male in a female dominated field and increase my attractiveness, alongside my earning potential, CS turns out to be a lot more fun than medicine anyways so it seemed like a good switch, but then it all comes crashing down. Today? All my peers who chose allied health path are making $100k+ and already own a home. I'm jobless, still with my parents even after extra years of grinding CS.
>>109764333Middle management power tripping, literally.
>>109768652>It's a massive mistake to get into any field that does not require use of your hands.>eternally underemployed blue collar redneck giving advice>humans are cheaper and always will bejust wait until these things cost $10k and require next to zero upkeep. the only thing stopping anyone then is ancient ass infrastructure being deprecated by rolling out 5G cellular. good fucking luck with that.>>109768705if you aren't running your own business at this point I think you're just going to be eternally underemployed. t. dropout
>>109768800I am running my own business, several actually, but it won't market itself. Ads cost money. A job would make it easier to run the damn thing.
