Previous: >>105536393

My group within the company is doing a summer picnic... not even some place fun. I'm probably not going to go

I got the offer.

>>105553393
Welcome home, now look down on all the new grads who will never find a job

>mfw trying to transition into data science
>hard filtered by statistics.
uhhh what other field should I go into? Sysadmin here so I deserve to be in here!

Do niggers get jobs in the US as software engineers? I saw a video of somali niggers working at microsoft. These people have a average IQ of 60 so I'm just wondering how these people even get jobs?

>>105553501
Do latinas like shy, depressed, socially anxious white guys approaching 40 who write code and are already bald?

>>105553569

Go to a strip club and get all your juices extracted from your body.

I've been on the same task for 6 weeks now and somehow nobody has still bothered me about it. It's so fucking boring too, I'm dreading even getting up in the morning and going to work on the fucking thing.

>>105553613
They're too stressful, I get too much anxiety

>>105553634
we can sort something out.

bros, what do we think of retirement accounts? I contribute whatever my employer matches because it's free money, but I don't think they matter all that much. The way I see it, when I'm "retirement age" 30 or 40 years from now, the world will either be
>A post-scarcity utopian society in which we all live like trillionaires (hoping for this)
>The shadow of a civilization that was once on the verge of greatness, before collapsing under the weight of brown people and corporate greed. There is no longer a middle class, only the ultra rich and the poors. Like cyberpunk but without the cool stuff (expecting this)
>A nuclear wasteland
>Inconsequential to me, because I died of a heart attack or got hit by a car or something
Basically, I don't think money (at least in the range of a few million dollars) will be relevant by the time I reach retirement age. That's without even getting into the increasingly likely possibility that I will be unable to find work 10 years from now due to automation and jeets.

>>105553501
If I lose my job I have zero reason to be here. I very well may.

>>105553539
I've met three over my ten year career. They do but it's extremely rare.

Bad news: you have no fucking idea what you're doing.
Good news: It's really hard to fuck up a 401k because they don't really let you mess with. Just ignore it and then when you need it later you'll be glad you did.

>>105553539

Inflation will be so bad in the future that your retirement accounts will become worthless. Billionaires will be the new middle class.

>>105553501
okay move all the cartels out
>-wwhat no youre supposed to come live here and pay them racket money

I think I might crash out soon with this shit

daily reminder that 40% of all software engineering jobs are held by immigrants[0]. go look at your local city's large tech employer on linkedin and lo and behold the amount of indians that work there. then go look for people that graduated with a degree in computer science and how many of them are unable to get experience. this is ethical[1] because they work harder[2]

you will work until the very day you die while single mothers vacation on the beach for months at a time

you will toil in an office and pay 50% of your income in taxes so that junkies can get high in free luxury apartments

folks we are winning so hard. to be honest, i am tired of winning!

If this is even remotely accurate and you aren't bullshitting this is one of the most hilarious things I've read.

I always get a kick out of Russian schizos.

I’ve been made 'Helpdesk Manager' because I fixed a financial bleed caused by idiots not charging our clients for RMM, AV, and EDR. Plus a bunch of other stuff but honestly, it’s depressing to talk about.

Wish me luck, boys.

>>105554870
Good stuff, would want to have a chat with him

>>105554280
I'm begrudgingly contributing to my 401k, but I half suspect it'll never be used and even if it does, it'll never be enough.

Most respected finance people are saying you should have like 3x your income in your 401k + savings combined by the time you're 40 to have a decent shot at a comfortable retirement. I just started at 30, have 15k in a savings account, and like 5k in a 401k after finally paying off all my debt/student loans, etc. I'm financially very comfortable and in a good spot, but the amounts they are recommending seem fucking ludicrous. I make $150k a year and I'd need to start living on ramen noodles from now until retirement to make that shit happen and hit those targets with how expensive living has become.

I'm almost certain that the big promoters of 401k are not actively paying attention to what is happening right now economically, or are just shilling. I think its shilling, because they are raising their estimates year by year, but are also feigning ignorance about how horrifically expensive living in the US has become. I think its because investment firms want to be able to play with your money.

>>105555556

>>105553105 (OP)
this is an important thread: >>105549808

>>105555575
Americans in this general under 40 are not retiring with the way the market is going when you consider the enormous crunch of American white collar work with what appears to be a huge emphasis on tech workers, AI, mass outsourcing that makes the outsourcing from a decade or two ago look pathetic in comparison, the ongoing reduction of salaries across the country, the increased COL, the HIGHLY likely chance that at some point in your tech career you will go a significant period of time unemployed or bagging groceries, etc.

Unless of course you win the startup lottery and get a fuck ton of shares at ground zero, but playing that game is a massive risk itself, given that 99% of them fail and the ones that do go public often fizzle out right away with small share prices, also you'll be paid less in the meantime, etc. The biggest proponents of 401ks and whatnot are 40+ year old boomers that got in early and got in good before everything started to shit itself and collapse in the US.

I'm personally doing pretty okay for myself, but I'm planning on taking my money and fucking off to a real country that isn't designed top to bottom to extract every bit of value humanly possible from me with nothing given in return. I have older family members that fucked off outside the US to retire because its much more financially reasonable to leave than to stay.

>>105555597
>don't work too hard
never. not my company plus msp so shit show anyways.

>>105555575
Do your own math, these "rules of thumb" aren't rules of thumb at all because the numbers are going to vary drastically based on a variety of factors. In any case you can easily save $50k a year on that income and way overshoot that 3x income by age 40 rule. I don't really think that rule makes any sense anyway. I prefer the 3.5/4% safe withdrawal rate rule personally.

I should fix that, sounds like it'd make getting a job much easier. Government work seems to have less retarded requirements too (maybe that's because of the drop in applicants).

good night /twg/

>>105555634
Meh people from US (and west Europe as well) should be most concerned with your government paying 4-5% of total GDP in interest payments anually. It will kill growth, it will increase likelihoods of a financial crisis and if things get really bad can cause a spiral of things going downwards worse than in 08. Because unlike 08, bail outs will come at a huge cost since the money printing is exhausted.

>>105555575
I'm not from US but from EU, I make 78k gross a year and I pay 6k of that into a retirement scheme. My employer adds anotehr 15 or 18k a year on top of that. It's honestly monopoly money. I'm 28. Retirement is likely going to be increased to 70 by the time it is relevant. The chance a complete market collapse or a major war breaking it is really high. There is also a significant chance of me dying before even reaching that age.

Its pure monopoly money. They could better just buy raw gold with the retirement savings and give me several kgs when I retire. Or diversify them into a bunch of rare materials. Idc, it would at least be more useful than retirement funds buying treasury bonds and stocks and gambling that they go up so much so that I can make the equivalent of 70% of what I made when working!

>>105556957
Good night. I'm going to lie awake and stare at my laptop as a recently unemployed NEET again tonight. Do I finish my bachelors with online college or go for something else...

I don't even know if I want to go. Doing data science for a propaganda outlet seems more depressing than my lazy gov job were lying in reports is my main duty.

>>105553514
Data engineering but if you already get filtered by stats Idk. Stats are quite easy there are tons of videos of them online. Most of the time you aren't working on novel algorithms or doing stats by hand like what you might do in uni. A lot of statistical testing can be done with simple python commands. A lot of the things you do before testing is just intuition. Plotting and visualizing and seeing how things relate to each other, seeing what distribution you have to deal with and most importantly having a vague understanding of what the math behind it does and what you're actually comparing. Most of the simple stats will get you far.

> I want to do research in AI / deep learning
Then you need uni and need more than just a bunch of statistics courses + intro AI courses talking about neural nets and naive bayes. The competition is fierce, there are not many AI jobs. You'll be competing with people who have published in journals and are very competent in both math and programming.

But IDK you can always go into data analytics / business intelligence. A simple dashboarding job will also pay the bills. You only need simple statistics for that. Then you can always pivot into data engineering or eventually science (but without math it can be very difficult).

If you can't come up with a good startup idea in seconds then you aren't going to make a successful startup because it's all marketing and lying through your teeth.

>>105556569
AI vtubers. The space is still open if you get lucky. Pivot to influencers in general too to sell to VCs. Your goal with a startup is to convince a coked up failson to give you a shitton of cash, then use as little of that cash as possible to set up an excuse for why you're a success despite your idea failing.

>>105557766
im like 1200% positive this already exists

>>105557814
It already exists. If you are lucky there is still space to make it big. That is what I meant by saying the space is still open if you get lucky.

>>105557846
>make it big.
i'm like 135% positive that there is already at least one big ai-driven vtuber "studio" that just uses some schlub gaming silently and the avatar reacts to the (pre-)streamed footage before actually hitting twitch/nico/etc and is large enough that people submit new avatars/text models rather than just do the same thing on their own channels

>>105557911
You are correct. My point remains. If you are lucky you can be a unicorn.

>>105557922
>if your lucky you can be a unicorn
I guess the barrier of entry is super low, but id rather be a tech or finance unicorn than a fucking ai slop, only fans tier ig account lmao

Would you rather have money or pride? If the latter you are already losing.

>>105557974
but there's already tons of ai slop streamers out there. if anon got into that he would have neither money nor pride

>>105557766
There are 3d models on stream sites like chaturbate that are essentially AI vtubers (I doubt anyone's piloting it).

That goes with pretty near any business model. If you're lucky you could make a lumber company that takes over the industry.

>startup ideas
i'm just gonna become a tailor but for tacticool nerds. selling duty belts to retarded larpers and making kydex holsters in the oven and shit

>>105558049
Enjoy making the fursuits anon.

>>105558163
I did consider fursuits but
>synthetic fur is THICC and will DEFEAT any entry level sewing machine
>synthetic fur is difficult to heat-seal the edges of and does not respond properly to edge-stitching

I have a suede jacket I sewed some extra fur into to extend the sleeves and add a teensy bit of warmth (among other small modifications/major repairs) that serves as a walking portfolio but any time anyone is like "Can you put fur in my shitty sport coat?" or "haha what if you had a total outfit made of fur haha as a joke haha" I have to explain to them how annoying synthetic fur is to work with, how inappropriate it is for most garments (if i had a nickel for everyone i've met who wants fur cuffs and collar on a shitty poly windbreaker I'd still be poor but it's weird it's happened more than once), and that I am NOT going to make them a fursuit cheaper than they can order one off of AliExpress and just have me tailor it. I did consider partials though, but I'm not as involved with the community anymore, and all my R&D still hasn't gotten me to a cheap way to make heads.

I'd rather just sew up tacvests and modify duty belts. One unexplored niche I've found is tactical rigging for people in boats; a normal tacvest interferes with common military-grade life vests (pretty much everyone uses auto-inflating types, so wearing a normal vest over it will cause your chest to implode if you fall overboard) so I was thinking either of expanding the pilot kneeboard concept (you're generally sitting or laying in a boat), doing duty belts, or possibly figuring out a tacvest with integral floatation vest but still has your mags and tools in the usual spots somehow.

>>105558210
Focus on scaleys. I don't think I've ever seen a scaley fursuit.

>>105558241
they exist but are incredibly tedious to manufacture; and they aren't good for heavy petting, so if you have the skill/machinery/time to make something like this, you may as well just make maille for larpers. the market is bigger

then theres protogen memers and other such nerds where you either need to be good at plasticwork (impossible) or have a really really big 3d printer

Businesses are weird.
I saw a random twitch channel of a guy who was sculpting (clay) so I tuned in, turns out he makes masks for a living (no custom orders, he makes what he wants and puts it up for sale). I don't know how you can live off that but he does.

I'm not sure how you can make a tech startup on that but yeah.

>>105558288
by ruining that mans life by providing cheap 3d printed equivalents based on laser-scans of other already existing objects that became memes

>>105558313

Fursuits are expensive and what's tacticool shit other than gun fursuits? I'm just trying to identify gaps in the market here.

I'm going to "develop" a micro-ATX computer and kneeboard/wrist mount sized display out of COTS parts to provide a mapping/charting console, AIS transponder, GPS coverage, AM/FM radio, all in a stylish waterproof pouch that fits on a belt or in a typical tacvest canteen/dump pocket/pouch and pitch it to cash-strapped militaries as a replacement for the PRC-152 that also lets you check your routine admin emails if you pop a SIM into a WWAN card

there's been an uptick of people lost in the woods or at sea in my area so I did look into low-cost RC fixed-wing aircraft, just to price stuff. Strap a cheap camera to the RPI running the whole platform, launch it off a steam cannon, import some chink batteries for range, if nothing else I could probably get the local RCMP or CG det to fund a new hobby. I'm not looking to compete with DRDC here.

I have an interview tomorrow for a job I did not apply for and do not at all meet the qualifications for. Normally I would simply not care, consider the interview practice, and shrug my shoulders when I don't get the job. But this time it's for a FAGMAN job in an office within walking distance of me, so I actually want it and feel nervous right now. And even though there is no realistic way I will get this job, and I think the recruiter referred me to it by accident, I know I'm going to feel awful when I bomb the interview.

>>105558705
that is a common sci-fi trope and is often traced back to Ender's Game (1985)

there's actually a famous opposite example; a certain notable internal wargame saw a US general employ real-life runners and other "out of game" assets to effectively cheat, citing that in a real war, a giant surveillance dragnet fails if intelligence can't capture things like civilians simply hand-bombing messages to eachother instead of using e-mail.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002

and interestingly, having finally used some "tactical map" software actually used on ships, the interfaces are INCREDIBLY bad

>>105558729
drones aren't themselves munitions and honestly once you start looking into aviation rules for anything heavier than a kilogram, yeah, they really are regulated as heavily if not moreso than guns. they're easy to acquire but good luck operating one basically anywhere without a month of paperwork first. and as much as people joke about "gun free zones" no-fly zones are incredibly prolific and don't only occur near airports or military installations. even if you aren't doing aviation, there's a reason so many tall objects have red lights on them. there's a ton of laws governing things that are In The Air and it's a huge pain in the ass to occupy airspace

thats not really how even the "high end" drones in warfare work. they still often have human operators, or at best operate on preprogrammed GPS guidance

and fwiw the average homegroan terrorist is probably too deranged to reach for high-tech solutions to bomb their local abortion clinic. it's just a lot of effort and much like suicide a lot of the high profile big bombings are acts of passion. slow acts still requiring planning, but still; they're out to make a big point once, not to be the most sustainably combat-effective unit they can be.

Oh I thought it was supposed to be some gun designed for auto-targeting and AI use. You'd assume it'd say "Non-functioning Prototype" or something along those lines.

>>105558806
dunno, never bought one, pretty much anything consumer grade that china sells probably. Just with guns, you don't need to use them to have some deterrence capacity, but there is the odd guy/girl who will try to shoot a president candidate.

>>105558944
I just don't; I tell my bosses that there are inherent tactical and strategic limitations we face, that if they want equipment I don't have it's not my place to procure it, and that as much as I want freedom, if I'm left to do whatever I want that things are gonna get really janky really fast. I'm juts an operator, not a strategist. I can bring a few tools from home, that's about it before I risk committing any crimes that I will absolutely demand their signatures and blessing on before undertaking in complete confidence with an energy normally reserved for someone who gives a fuck.

>>105558956
I think it's more that it's locked in a silly mount, and is not in a state meant to be ergonomic even if it wasn't in a mount. It might also vent hot gasses or simply create a lot of hot air under sustained fire to unsafe places or something.

>>105558980
The key difference is a drone is not a munition, and detection/countermeasures are common and well-understood. A lot of the victories in ukraine using them are not much different from conventional military drones, and strikes on static objects have been the sort of thing exposing other rampant failures in Russia's doctrine/intel and could have been achieved by a mortar strike. Normies just think they're magic because conscripts got btfo by what is effectively just new-age guided artillery and already had a hard time understanding even that before shitty quadrotor drones got cheap. People also misunderstand how much explosive power can be packed into one by a casual; the ones in use in war have actual bombs on them. ANFO, the western terrorist's explosive of choice, is not even considered a true explosive anymore compared to its contemporaries in normal ass commercial/industrial mining/excavation. The gopniks are using 70s era Comp B

>>105559089
also this, people have already taped pistols to shitty drones and have found that higher end models from 10 years ago had good enough station-keeping to handle the recoil. the core problem remains that how are you gonna fly a drone into a classroom with a gun strapped to it and nobody notices it to do anything, even just swat it with a stick or something once it's indoors

meanwhile in irl people can shoot you through two inches of solid steel from half a mile away as it is and have access to easily-modified weapons and oversized non-belt magazines to get access to literal squad support tier machine guns

And realistically if these were programmed or trained well enough they'd be angling between people to cause friendly fire. Keep in mind that the things dropping out of the plane in pic aren't singular bots they're clusters of bots (18+1 big charge).

doubtful; professional killing is a matter of mutual friendship, destruction of mutual enemies, and honour in general. also i sucked his dick for free and give that sloppy good-good

>>105559144
actually incorrect: modern CIWS systems fire frangible rounds designed to break up shortly after firing, effectively giving a birdshot-like effect. the "wall of lead" meme is not a result of the absurd fire rate, but that the rounds break up in flight.

>>105559113
>the core problem remains that how are you gonna fly a drone into a classroom with a gun strapped to it and nobody notices it to do anything

the laser using the same eye tracking as your igadget could blind everyone in its path perhaps? also, you don't need a precision strike if you just want to cause havoc. What stops a swarm to target a music festival?

If they legislate against it then it wouldn't be a legal alternative, silly.

>>105559167
>the laser using the same eye tracking as your igadget could blind everyone in its path perhaps?
incredibly stupid concept. an IR LED and some focusing hardware are not the same as flashbangs and do not solve the problem of unlicensed aircraft usage being easily detected and stopped.
>if you just want to cause havoc.
tactically unsound and generally unsuitable for typical military or terrorist goals
>What stops a swarm to target a music festival?
nothing at all but an FBI-provided FN Minimi does it better and cheaper

oi m8, have a loicense for that suicide drone? It's a literal non problem. For any mass shooting scenario a mass droning alternative could be considered. The exact point is that most of the civilian population does not have access to guns, but drones can be same day delivered to their doorstep.
Also, you are vastly overestimating the efficiency of guns, we have a long track record of mass shootings, top scorers firing from a shooting gallery still have under 100 kills. Machines do it better

>>105559314
>but drones can be same day delivered to their doorstep.

>>105553208

>>105559101
Reject, domesticate thyself!

Talking about offensive warfighting stuff is fun, but working in the more boring areas as an operator, it sucks that no one talks about the real force multipliers; good communications, comfy socks, accurate maps, widespread knowledge of operations; what ever happened to all those "total force" concepts where every individual was supposed to have complete knowledge of all their local operations at their fingertips? Every exercise I go on these days, we don't even do much, yet no one knows anything about what's even supposed to go on, let alone what actually is.

It's hard to get excited about BVR/OTH drone warfare when even the boats next to you need to be shouted at because they've fallen out of radio contact.

He said to me something like "Wow. I haven't done that in a long time. You should do something more useful"

>>105559415

that's the big one; it used to be harvested from car batteries, but the formula changed and I think some are even just big LIPOs now. And pure (even if diluted) Acetone is hard to get; there just isn't a market for it. Yeah there's nailpolish remover, but that's full of perfumes and skin moisturizers that could fuck up your crack shack chemistry or at least require extra steps to isolate/remove/compensate for.

i actually bought some frilly knee-highs before the programmer sock meme was real and they are, without a doubt, the highest quality socks I own and yet the least comfortable. no holes, no fraying, but they're too thin to be useful with the combat boots and thin hiking shoes i normally wear. I like the dollar store poly knit "athletic" socks, myself. And for what it's worth, I'm always getting caught with non-issued undershirts; i tell my juniors and seniors alike that the issued ones fucking suck and I'd rather just get a pile of comfy cotton band tees from my local thrift shop instead. As a bonus, those are at least marginally more fireproof. The poly ones they issue simply melt.

>war devolves into chaos pretty quickly.
these are not shooting exercises though; it's routine inspection dives and boat ferrying crap. There's ways to solve the problems we have, but it requires either spending money at a ministerial level, or doing something very janky locally that's "not generally allowed" and would require personal investment at best and might get me personally jailed for misuse of existing assets at worst.

Everyone I work with is retarded, pay zero attention to what they are told and usually argue back on stuff the have no knowledge at all.
Yesterday a coworker spend 6h reinstalling some service form scratch, today he was still working on this. The error was caused by a version mismatch between frontend and backend and would have taken me exactly 5 minutes to solve it if he had answered a simple question. I told him three times but he didn't listen. Today I just wished him good luck.
Also today another coworker argued me about the integration of a billing service when I was using the code that the provider itself gave me. He kept telling me I was wrong and I had him come to my desktop and check it.
Every single time this happens I just add another hour to the task estimate, I don't even get mad anymore. I mean, would you get mad at a dog for barking?

Diversify into ETFs and bonds. Yields are slightly lower for a portfolio with bonds, but less than you would think. If you rebalance regularly (say, keep a steady 80/20 split) you effectively buy the dip which puts you at near parity with 100% stock portfolio while protecting against significant downside risk.

He also tried to hire replacements (which is normally illegal here but he made the company a shell with subsidiaries to bypass the law). So far he hired one person in the tech team and it turns out he's never worked in tech before, he only ever used the tech as an end user.

>>105562429
just wait until you get daily random teams messages from them with "hello" and no further context. I personally just ignore them until they actually write something useful

>>105562429
are you on your first day of the job or did you somehow find a place that isn't 60% indians already?

>>105555555
Test

>>105562457
oh boy!

>>105562461
yes first day at a new company with everything delegated to india! ^_^

>>105562085
at least you got a return offer lol, i recently graduated and still haven't heard shit from the company i did my internship with, despite impressing my boss and doing all of my work for them to a high standard. it's not fair bros...

>>105562325
thanks, i remember looking at some stuff for the A+ before and most of it was just common sense. i don't think i'd have to study much for it if i decide to do it.

>>105562481
Take a few practice tests to see how much you know, then study up from there on what you don't. It's not that hard

>>105555383
daily reminder that 40% of all software engineering jobs are held by immigrants™. go look at your local city's large tech employer on linkedin and lo and behold the amount of indians that work there. then go look for people that graduated with a degree in computer science and how many of them are unable to get experience. this is ethical™ because they work harder™

>>105562549
>work harder

As someone who worked with them, they hardly work. Ive never seen such lazy people.

>>105562351
We have to create linkedin for work at my company, desu.

>>105562085
Yes take it. This is your chance to avoid having gaps while job hunting.

>>105561879
Someone did the unthinkable on CTO before the previous one. Mysterious politics&strategical industry stuff.

>>105562679
>We have to create linkedin for work at my company, desu.
Do you guys take LinkedIn seriously? Is it mostly indian applicants?

>>105560282
Review anon here. I got 3.25% and a 4k bonus.
About what I expected.

>>105562695
It's about corporate events and "connections" rather than recruitment at least for my 2nd tier r&d and tech office. The ones like in la defense or Montreal or Berlin, Washington etc take LinkedIn recruitment seriously.

>>105560282
I got a 3% raise and then was told two months later I'm getting laid off.

>>105562760
Good. How did your bosses cum taste?

>>105562085
Decline a full time job once and you're fucked. Use this job as a means to get another job.

>>105562085
that's a great starting point
2 days at home? I'd kill for job like that back in my junior years
the commute drive kinda sucks, though

>>105562157
You really just need to "vibe" eith VCs at this stage and you're good. If you're not that personable, just follow trends and scream buzzwords at them (currently it's AI, especially agent, SaaS). This company was literally 'I dunno lol something with proteins maybe'. The founders were somehow proud of telling the story...
In a previous startup (that got purchased by m$ in the end), the boss got the funding that way as well but using buzzword spamming instead of 'vibing'. It was AI chatbots before openai.

>>105562266
They pretty explicitly state the reason why they do shit like that is so people don't feel entitled to a raise when they get good reviews just because someone else got a raise on that reason

>>105562782
What kind of r&d? Can I join???

>>105562085
Everyone starts at rock bottom, in fact you're lucky that you're getting an offer after an internship. Yes it sucks for now, but the first years always suck for most except the luckiest.

>>105563319

I got my position as a fullstack dev with Java in the backend by arguing that Java is similar enough to C# that I'll quickly learn to use it.

At the end my referrer ghosted me. Figures.

What is this website?
These "people" are not human.

>>105563614
wasnt switching from C# to Java painful
every time i have to write Java i want to kill myself, it feels like i went back in time to 20 years ago, i dont think i'd ever do it as a full time job

I’ve played squash for years.

I’m not the best player on the court, but I’ve always enjoyed the challenge.

It’s competitive, intense, and it keeps me fit.

This weekend was one for the books because I finally managed to beat both of my opponents, which hasn’t happened before, and I have to say it gave me a quiet sense of satisfaction...!

It reminded me why I’ve stuck with it for so long.

Squash gives me more than just fitness.
It brings focus, discipline and a chance to reset.

When I’m on the court, I’m not thinking about meetings, decisions or what’s next.

I’m present, and that’s something I’ve always valued.

In business, people often ask how to maintain performance over the long term.

My answer has always been the same.
You have to take care of your energy.

That means staying physically active, mentally sharp and finding routines that hold you steady.

Sport has always done that for me. It taught me discipline.

It taught me how to recover and how to keep going when things don’t go your way.
Those lessons have shaped how I lead, how I work and how I live.

Every so often, the effort pays off.

And when it does, it’s a reminder that the habits we build quietly, away from the spotlight, are often the ones that serve us best.

>These "people" are not human.
i mean that's a given, it's all bots.

>>105563724
Okay it's Kotlin which I guess is better than regular Java. But really all I care about is using employable technology and doing employable fullstack stuff. Everything for the sake of my CV.

>>105563742
>Okay it's Kotlin
understandable then

>>105563737
If I encountered a person like this irl I'd call the cops recommend they be committed

>>105563742
i can tell your typing style in every thread and i hate you so much if i ever bet you in real life i would unironcally start attacking you

>>105564238
What did I even do and what do you mean? Are you mistaking me with someone else?

>>105561713
That's gotta be the dumbest thing I've read on /g/ and the competition is fierce.

>>pol chuds / bots can't stop bringing politics into it

>I doubt simpletons like you are even employed, yet alone as a tech worker
Why don´t you go to leftypol if you hate /pol/ so much? they have their own technology board where no one is going to say things you dislike.

He's right tho, the vedas were written by sintashta who came from russia

Yes, there's no point taking a 28 year old grad instead of a 22 year old grad.

It seriously feels like the only way I'm getting those $12/hour is if I found a corporation in the Caymans.

4 hours of meetings today, another 4 tomorrow, and 2 hours on Friday
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Anyone else wish indians were banned from your country?

>>105565955
in my better moments I usually wish for something much worse

Yeah you do pretty much have to take that unless you can find another offer pretty quickly.

>>105561182
People actually do that?

>>105561027
That happened to someone I know. They went through a zillion interviews, got to the end, and Google was like "well you're perfect but we don't actually have an opening."

>>105556494

i promise i really do love my job and i don't think about kms every half hour now please leave me alone thank you

>>105566791
Anon we'd like to fire you but we can't afford the severance package and lawyers.

Please kill yourself instead. Preferably outside work.

>>105566704
Yes. It's AIDS.

I'd consider a data center operations job if the pay was better. It seems fun.

>took last job just because I needed something even though it was below my technical capabilities which I proved many times over, stayed there for two years and they kept dangling a promo / team switch in front of me the entire time despite glowing performance reviews
>senior of the team I wanted to join eventually told me he didn't think I was ready to fully switch which must be the reason they haven't moved me yet, I suspect he told his manager this
>interview at another company
>I jump straight into the role I wanted at the prior company but as a sr and have been doing the job easily for 6 months now
>find out the guy at last company who said I wasn't ready was hit by a layoff and is now just doing IT support for an msp
>I've already had a "performed well above expectations" performance review and a huge bonus doing the job he didn't think I was ready for
>my new manager and director want to start prepping me to take over as team manager because hes leaving soon and I was told it comes with a large bump in pay if I get it, which I should because they go for internal candidates first and nobody else knows as much as me, plus everyone on the team loves me and nobody else is a Sr.
The amount of schadenfreude you experience from out performing someone who didn't think you were ready for a full engineering position and watching them simultaneously eat shit is unbelievable, let me tell you.

>>105562549
They really do. They know they have to escape crushing poverty in India so their work ethic eclipses Americans, who got so used to the suburban schools, cruising through college while partying, cushy office job pipeline. Seeing people who actually work instead of slacking off all day must be a shock.

I have a full blown production app - self deployed, with users.
Do I need a degree to get a web shitting job, or will my "project" be enough to get a job? Asking because I could probably knock out a bachelor's in about a year, but I'm 33 and don't want to unless it's needed.

>>105567100
Can confirm. Our company has a bunch of jeets, and I shit you not, they are available 24/7. It can be 3 am IST and if you mention them or ping them directly, you're getting a real reply within a couple of minutes, and they'll be on a call with coffee in hand in 5, because that $35k usd salary lets them live veeerrry well.
Are they the brightest? No. Are they the best? Definitely not. They're like 40% of a regular worker in terms of capabilities. But fuck they are always available, work around the clock even when they're told they don't have to (and are actually working), and they inevitably do get shit done even if it takes longer, and they do it for 1/3rd - sometimes 1/5th the pay. Thats a huge W for shareholders. They only care that it got done and was done at a HUGELY reduced cost. Thats it.

My company is a major government contractor and we have a fuck load of jeets. People say they don't get taken to do government work in the US are 100% dead wrong nowadays. The government contracting space is completely jeeted. What is interesting though, is that the only jeet with a managerial position in the company is American born. There are no other jeet managers, they don't trust them to do that at all, all of our managers are either White or of East Asian descent. Seems they don't want caste shenanigans to kick off.

section 174 has american tech workers winning even harder: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/section-174/

even better! the "Big Beautiful Bill" will force companies to pay even more taxes on software development

>>105567100
Why should we be forced to compete with the work ethic of a man who's being (relatively) paid 100x what you are?

>>105567418
If the 2017 tax bill signed by Trump is the cause of all the tech layoffs, its going to just get worse from here.

>>105567520
that and the high interest rates probably

>He thinks anyone who is not already in their mid 50s is ever going to be able to retire.
????
My whole post was about how I don't think we'll be able to retire.

>>105561027
>How does this even happen?
I applied to a job there that I would be great at, the recruiter said I'm almost a good match but I don't have [thing], and then said there's a position opening soon that's a good match for me and doesn't require [thing]. And then I got an interview notice for a job I did not apply to, which I assume to be the one she referred me to. Except I think she completely misunderstood my resume and/or that job's basic qualifications, because I don't know how to do any of that shit except for the general Linux stuff. I think if the interview goes embarrassingly enough I'll pretend I didn't notice they switched the job I'm interviewing for so I can be like "oh ha ha that's crazy I thought this was for that job I already know how to do ha ha th-thank you for your time".
