I have been looking for a long time. I got an offer, then they cancelled it at the last moment.At this point I feel like I'm not going to get a job. My experience isn't impressive enough to get many interviews, and I do badly in interviews.Even if I get another offer the 9-5 grind is bland and meaningless. Salaries here aren't high enough to retire early like American programmers can. Sometimes I think I should just go somewhere cheap and live on my savings then rope when I run out.

Have any of you ever made up a company/role on their resume?I have a job gap of about 2 years which I think I need to fill with nonsense. Unsure what the meta is for those cases.(I know lying is for jeets but I can't keep the 0% response rate forever).
>>110080971They want you to lie to them. I am spergy and it took me a long time to realise, but people don't value honesty at all. They want you to tell them you're excited to work for their company in particular. They want you to embellish your experience. They want you to have NPD basically.
>>110080593Baller.
>>110081163Yeah I feel extremely retarded for never lying before.I did a quick google search and 80% of 18-to-25yos have lied on their resume.I think you and I were the only retards being honest on this shit.Nevertheless, how do I make up the experience? Fully make up a company? Or will the recruiter find it sus when he googles "Sneed's Software Inc." and find no results?Should I look for a company that failed but was active during my job gap?
>>110079172idk looking at rent prices theres plenty for 1.5-2kwhich honestly is not expensive
>>110079062lol its the opposite. they want to automate the most costly positions, not the cheapest.

The company had closed down again by the time my friend needed help, so I gave him all the details and hopefully he claimed to have worked there.

>>110094492No, outside of Germany too.
>>110094489Not really. You don't work 40h for those wages, there are very few positions so aptitude is not enough, seniority is required as well so it's not how your early years look like, you get into mass debt to get there, and these figures are very often "seasonal" (worked at an annualized rate of 1.2m for 3 months then fuckall for the next 6).If it was so easy to get such high rates then don't you think it wouldn't be extreme outlier statistics?

I could probably get another job if I tried. A friend of mine is asking if I'm looking for work, his company has some dev openings (aka, agent wranglers). But... what's the point? At the moment, I have enough money that I shouldn't need to work for about 10-15 years, depending on the stock market and inflation. I can't see how getting some more money and extending that to 20 to 30 to 40+ years would improve my life in any way.
>>110103637how old are you? unless ur 60 15 years is not enough
>>110103666Hi Satan, I'm almost 40. I forgot to mention, those 15 years don't include retirement accounts. Once I'm old enough to draw from those, I can probably do another 20-30 years, again depending on the markets and inflation.Yeah, obviously 15 is going to cut it close, I might have to draw from retirement accounts with penalties. But I can't really see any reason to keep living that long anyway.

Just want to share an interesting fact. I do have a degree, experience and also got fired back in the past, this is not my first time with unemplyoment. My hairline was fucked up since 20 so i had to keep my hair shaved to avoid some combover hairstyle. Also up until recently i was pretty lazy with appearance and would let my beard grow for 20+ days sometimes before shaving. My beard is full and grow fast, but im still young and dont think that look is flattering to me. I kinda got that old and young loook at same time.Now i had a hair implant, loving the result, look much better also ive been paying attetion to grooming and now i keep my beard shaved or at least buzz every 4 days to keep it short. Thats all fine and cool although this improvement in looks never helped get a job, iove been struggling as much as in teh past. HR whores dont treat me 0.01% better than in the past. I dont see any better treatment from cashiers and people in general. Lookism is a total meme. Well, if you balding i do recommend getting the implant, just do it for yourself because people dont really care.

how do you explain a 4 year long gap where you essentially lived off savings and played videogames? Not that im passing an AI screenings in the first place but just in case I have to talk to a human
>>110118670btw im an awful liar I would not be able to fake all the micro expressions needed to sound convincing while saying I was caring for a relative or smth. The HR bloodhounds would smell it from a mile away
>>110118670How would you explain a 15 year long gape? Essentially never been employed.
>>110118688go to school, 15 year gap becomes 0 since you're straight out of school
>>110118699That's a clever trick. I'm essentially a social retard, and like the other anon, I cannot lie, and I cannot die. This miserable existence, it is like being devoured by a bear while it's being streamed to the internet.

I would also suggest Clevatess as good recent anime.got another rejection letter for even kind of a meh role (med/senior at gov owned company)...it's drvining me nuts...I even called my ex-team lead if there would be a possibility to get back to my previous job. he was kind of optimistic about it, but has to fire my replacement who is not performing very well. it may take months in europe to do it by the book.
got a job, got to change my sleep schedule from going to sleep at 6am to waking up at 7am in a weekGonna miss being a neet in no time... my projects...
>>110118670I just put in my resume that I was freelancing during that time (7 years for me), and nobody cared or even brought it up in the interview.
>>110121712whats the plan if they do ask? freelancing what? making websites for other people?
>>110121712I also say freelancing but I do actually have a profile they can verify. It's only a year and I say that the role after freelancing came from freelancing so they probably confirm both at one source.

>>110118281why though? Won't AI replace it in the next couple years?
>>110123339Good point, do we have a list of jobs likely to be replaced by AI at this point?I feel like that's a more relevant PSA for the modern man than anything else.
>>110118271Good for you, Anon.Be safe out there.
>>110123807>do we have a list of jobs likely to be replaced by AI at this point?everything. starting with everything a human can do with their brain in front of a computer, but I genuinely think manual labor won't last much longer than that either, advances in generalist AI are very quickly pushing the frontier in autonomous robotics forward
>>110124649If this were remotely true, I wouldn't have hordes of Mexicans mowing lawns in my neighborhood. Think about it. It's a fucking roomba for grass, no walking robots needed, no dexterity.

>>110124705what part of>making progressdo you not understand? you're like a man in 1900 asking why there are still horses on the road.all the technological building blocks for fully general embodied AI and autonomous humanoid robots already exist, but there are a huge number of practical engineering challenges that still need solving. it would still take years even if someone could build a fully functional fully generalist humanoid worker bot in a lab today, because at a baseline it takes 2-5 years to take anything from a working demo in a lab to a market ready product. and we're not even at the full lab demo yet.

Anybody with ADHD find a reliable way to study sys design for interviews? When I try to my brain just refuses to engage and internalize the ideas and concepts. I know if I were actively working with them in a job I'd get it done. But for whatever reason trying to do it on my own just doesn't work.
Alright so I already moved and signed the lease and everything and I was supposed to start the 19th or 26th but they're apparently having trouble sending me an email to setup getting my fingerprint for my background check and right now I'm just waiting for them to try an alternate email. That's normal right and everything will get sorted out soon right? What are the chances I've got stalkers who called them and misrepresented me or something? No one would actually do that right?
I just bombed 3 recruiter screens in a row this week. The last one lasted 5 minutes and I could tell he wanted to just get it over with and hang up as fast as he could. Social ineptitude and anxiety makes it literally impossible to not fail an interview unless the person interviewing me is just as socially inept as I am. I've come to the realization that I'm never going to work in software engineering again after I lose my current job (which will probably be soon because of AI) and I will most likely have to kill myself at that point because I'm nearly middle age and have no other marketable skills. If I had only been born 10 years earlier before well-adjusted normies had infiltrated this industry I probably would have had a massively successful career in tech instead of being a complete loser on the brink of suicide in my late 30s.
>>110126344just pop half of a bar of Xan for interview anon, im serious
>>110126425Yeah I'm sure sounds like a drowsy half asleep retard is really going to improve my chances.
>>110126444*sounding likeAnd anyway it's not even really anxiety, it's just a lack of self confidence. When they ask me to talk about my career and what I've done at my previous jobs, it's impossible for me to say it in a way that doesn't come off as being a total loser with no confidence in my own abilities.

>>110125253Next steps, but said that's why it's taking long
>>110126480Just practice some key points in your head before the interview. Probably won't work the first few times but the more you doomerise the less you'll care until you just do it.
>>110126649>the more you doomerise the less you'll careThat's not how it works. Every time I fail one of these interviews it just chips away even more at my self confidence. I was unironically more confident in my 20s, which is probably why I had a much easier time getting a job back then. Anyway I barely even get interviews anymore, it just so happened that I lucked out and got 3 in the span of a week, but it will probably be another month before I even get another one going by my average ratio of 1 interview per 50 applications.
I literally cant get a single interview...
>>110126576What are the odds he will pull through with this?

>>110127098I don't know what you're even trying to say in this post, but I wish I could just interview for junior level positions again. The bar for what they expect would probably be a lot lower. But every time I've applied to a junior level job I've gotten auto rejected, like 100% of the time.

I wish I was a NEET. If I’m gonna be a broke failure with no life prospects anyway, why should I have to work. My meager wage is already getting ripped off anyway to pay for Somalis to get it, why shouldn’t I? If there was some practical way of guaranteeing I could just leech off NEETbux for the rest of my life I’d probably be looking into it.
>>110131655They don't necessarily want to interview you. They might have 5-10 good candidates lined up and just do an interview with you to pad the numbers because 10 of 20 sounds like they're doing less work than 10 of 140 (latest interview I was told I'm basically shortlisted from actually having relevant experience with niche subject out of 140 total processed FOR NOW). Try the "higher bar" anon, you've got nothing to lose apparently so might as well.

If you can find a small hosting company (things they use: cPanel, Plesk, WebPros, Webmin - look for those words in your job searches) then you certainly have a chance to thrive, but those are the jobs I looked for when I lost my job last year and it really isn't looking good in that industry.>>110125986Lots of companies are profoundly incompetent. Their inability to hire new employees should have tipped you off to this fact. I think you will be fine.>>110128158Get the basic qualifications and then get a basic job. Loads of qualifications and zero job experience is the reddest flag around. Don't think you can just complete le epic studying and then pick and choose jobs. It has never, ever, ever worked that way, ever in history. You would be actively and deliberately making yourself LESS employable.
>>110134072Congratulations! It's a shitty job, but all jobs are shitty so well done anyway.

The solution is to never have worked in tech in the first place. I've been coding since I was at least 11 and never once had an IT job. Couple years ago I saved my boss from manually editing parts inventory in software with a script and that's about as close as it comes. I do pools, make 6 figs, and salaried off winters.
>>110137657No, I had a bunch of jobs. I saved up enough that I'm either early-retired or on a sabbatical (depending on how long my savings last). Some of the jobs I had were fun, but the last one was so awful I basically walked out.

>>110078732technical interviews are indian junk that the indians intentionally introduced into the process, fooling greedy boomers.They promised that they had the means to find merit, that their forbears lacked, a greater wisdom than "demonstrating abilities to their superiors".For this reason, Google can't fix shit all and never will, it's a failed company and it's not capable of recovering.Amazon will survive by middle manning shit to your door fast, but their devices will never get fixes.indians will never fix that shit, they'll hide every problem and sweep it all very nicely under the izzat rug.
>>110126951
>>110136773Yeah, the indians took over the company I would have gotten a job at, if they had stayed white.indians take over everything, where they go, they are incompatible with whites, because they deny to whites every possibility, though it's likely due to their izzatness.We're just totally incompatible, it's beyond any possibility.
>>110137540if you think the streets will sort you out you're right in the worst of all the wrong ways you can't even imagineI was on the streets for little over a year after being an alcohol and did everything I could to get off the streets and wound up in a psych ward if you think that's living you aren't even surviving broyou're better off getting a job you're underqualified for and getting a mediocre apartment with food stamps and medicaid than being out on the streetsthere's nothing to gain being homeless except starving and hoping you can find a stranger who will feed you you're even better off paying your mom rent except you're probably too leddit depresso to be a man than admitting that being working class isn't as bad as being homelesst. working a job that doesn't even make ends meet

Indian nepotism aside there are still thousands of new tech jobs posted each month. if you're unemployed and aren't doing everything in your power to maximize your appeal to potential employers, you have nobody but yourself to blame.
