Indians won
Whiteoids lost

MSFT, had my 1 year review today, manager said I was doing great and he's gonna start positioning me into leadership roles. Do they say this to everyone or am I actually doing good? I have previous managerial experience, but not in a tech environment, so not sure if they want to leverage my previous experience.

>>105568164
>wake up everyday as an indian
>"won"

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.

>>105568197
You don't NEED a degree but you're going to be dropped before they even read the resume if you haven't previously been employed in tech.

BENCHOD BLOODY

>>105568197
The year isn't 1973 anymore. By the timr I was 13 I had several games, a couple enterprise software and a website up. You think I ever got so much as a rejection letter? Lol, lmao. And that was back when it was possible, to some extent, to get a job without a degree. Now it's even worse. Even if you managed to pull 5 years of exp out of your ass despite the impossibility of it due to no degree, you still wouldn't get even a response because you have no degree. In fact at this moment shit is so bad that even eith 5 years of exp and a master's you wouldn't get anything.

>>105568185
They say this to everyone then turn around and deny raises 'because the company isn't doing well this year' (on a record profit year). As you may or may not know, if you get no bonus you are denied promotion for the next 2 years.

>>105568208
That’s what I figured. Might as well knock it out then. Thanks anon.

>>105568262
Yeah they definitely weren’t hiring anyone with a pulse that could do fizzbuzz a few years ago. The market corrected and the fat got trimmed. All the make work positions are gone and all the people larping as programmers were booted out. The only real problem is that you still have 95 people who actually think they’re useful still coping and sending out 1000 applications a day, and 2 billion Indians applying to anything with the word “remote” in the title. Im not really worried about it .

>>105568315
95/100*

>>105568268
Well I don't think I'm ready for senior anyway

>>105568315
Lol. They've been firing real.devs and keeping the dei niggers. 94% of jobs since then have gone to shitskins. Wake up, inbred.

>>105568315
I'm not saying it's impossible it's just hard to get your foot in the door, even if you do have the degree.
If you have connections that can set you up then things should be a lot easier. Of course, if your app is big that might change things a bit.
Keep in mind that an in-production app should count as work experience but I doubt it would even cover a single year.

>>105568375
They never count it as work experience. Otherwise I'd have 23 by now, not 4.
It's true though that there is a chance if the app has over 100k users.

>>105568315
>and 2 billion Indians applying to anything with the word “remote” in the title. Im not really worried about it .
That's a bold statement. They're applying to anything with "software" in the title, they don't give a shit if it isn't remote, a lot of the time they don't even care if it doesn't sponsor a visa (let HR filter it out).

Any ideas for a project that will get some users? I need something for my portfolio. I literally have nothing...

>>105568375
It’s a $100 app that I’ve gotten a few 1000 users for so far. I would think that networking while doing the degree and hanging out in discord communities helping people would get me an in by the time I had the degree. Im very aware that getting the piece of paper is just a checkbox in a list of requirements. Im not expecting to get it and get slammed with job offers.

>>105568390
My point was just that they’re clogging up the applicant pool, but you’re right.

>>105568408
Build something you need.

>>105568409
Hanging out in discord is less than useless, but networking in college is key.

>>105568408
Train alarm.
>set it to an area
>alarm goes off when you're nearing that area to make sure you're awake (also useful for restraining orders)

>>105568427
Tell that to all the rust trannies that hire each other. Community is everything man. Finding and becoming known in small discord communities is just modern networking.

Any hardware engineers here? Exactly how jeeted is IC design? Which niche strikes the best balance between high pay and being outsourcing-proof?

>>105568164
>Indians won

I will get a job without a degree because I can do the high level math required to build machine learning software and build AI models from cutting-edge research. I don't need someone on the internet to tell me what I can and can't do. I've succeeded on a professional level in other fields without a degree.

I know the market is in the shitter. I know things are very competitive right now. That only pushes me to struggle and achieve. Listen closely: If you know you can do something, don't let anyone tell you that you can't. Give people the opportunity to shit on your dreams and they will.

You climb the mountain or you don't. I don't care about fancy things, I do it because my people depend on me. And when I am done with programming for a living, I will move on to my next goal.

Don't waste your life sitting at the base camp talking about climbing the mountain. Climb the mountain or don't. One day you will run out of time and die, don't waste your precious time in life.

Now I am going to log off this website and make my dreams into reality. Failure is not an option when your people count on you.

>>105568507

Most people applying don't have this. Just fire out some resumes for a bit and see how you do.

>>105568409
>It’s a $100 app that I’ve gotten a few 1000 users for so far.
if you already passed 0->1 and have few 100k from the app might be better off scaling?

>Build something you need.
imo this is terrible advice unless you have normie problems. If you have engineering/hacker problems, good luck shilling their solution to normies

>>105568507
You need a phd to even make it to a human in deep learning. Best you can do orherwise is mashing APIs together which requires years of experience in webtardation on top of a degree.

But you've shown you're incapable of ever passing even a mcdonald's burger flipper interview due to your absurdly low IQ, so even degrees wouldn't help your case.

>>105568452
The more I research the more it appears it is significantly more jeeted/gooked than even software. God fucking dammit.
What are white people making north of $300k/year in their 30s doing?

>>105568798
Nearly everyone applying not only has 3 of these, but also a few internships and a degree. Ar least in a normal market. Right now, add 5-10 years of fagman experience and a master's degree.

>>105569675
Gross shit and bugs in places they shouldn't be. Read up on whether you're allowed to auto-reject things if they aren't acceptably clean (Louis Rossmann does).

Fuck the IT industry
Being hired by a company that has a product?
No can do, those companies have other companies they make contracts with so they can find """"talent""""" for them, and they're EXCLUSIVE. You want to go behind their back? Naaaaah " Sorry, in your country we work with XYZ company, we can't hire you directly"
So, you're being hired by an outsourcing company and you're being passed around like a tech prostitute for a premium while you get way less than if you were hired directly by the client.
Fine
Or it would be, if those outsourcing companies wouldn't be lazy asses and outsource """"talent"""" searching to OTHER companies, because they're too busy """"client facing""""
So you have """"talent"""" searching companies that make a contract with you for pennies on the dollar to pass you to ANOTHER company that will sell you to ONE specific client.
Like a fucking cheap tech whore. In the end, the hourly rate is like $30 for a FULL TIME JOB migrating monolith applications to cloud and splitting them into microservices. Why? Who the fuck knows
Also, these """"managers"""" and """"CEOs"""" are undeniably tech illiterate but make BANK. Fuck them, fuck corporate bloodsuckers, fuck their """"services"""" for destroying the market.
FUCK THE IT INDUSTRY, FUCK OUTSOURCING COMPANIES OF ANY KIND
They don't want to hire junior engineers because "le AI will do everything and a blowjob"
>IMAGINE THE PROFITS WOWZERS
And to top it all off - I'm being "sought" after in favor of westerners.
Not only americans, brits, germas and whoever else have a hard time finding a job, but when these jobs 'arrive' in eastern europe, two companies are already above you taking almost everything you'd get. I know people that have 3 (THREE) fucking companies taking money off his work.
Too bad IT engineers are cucks that accept this
This market is so fucking fucked I wish I can find something else FAST to get out of this system
t. employed, white, second worlder

>>105569942
>Also, these """"managers"""" and """"CEOs"""" are undeniably tech illiterate but make BANK.
It gets worse, even if a CEO sinks a company they'll have few problems finding a new job because they made shareholders some short term profit. I doubt managers have issues either, their entire job is about faking productivity numbers for their own benefit.

>>105569942
wageslavery is not the victims fault though, unless you mean all tech people should channel their inner luigi

>>105569942
this happens in every industry

>>105569942
I am in that situation, but what the fuck do you expect me to do about it? Furthermore, why should I even care? Sure, there are like 4 or 5 deadbeat managers who parasitize on my work, but without them I wouldn't get this job, not necessarily because of intentional gatekeeping, but also because the client would not be aware of me and I wouldn't be aware of them. Either way, I can't change the rules of the game, but I can exit the game altogether and do something else.

It is what it is.
You should be working on your exit strategy in your free time.
There's no non-exploitative work for us in this industry anymore, unless you're one of those unicorn savant programmers, it's the only way to get a real job with a salary, benefits, PTOs, all that jazz with none of those outsourcing grifters in between us and the client.
For the rest of us, it's eat what you kill with hourly rates and no benefits at all, it's get chewed in then spat out if they can't place in a new project, or work for dogshit pay and fake benefits in our home countries. There's no in between.
I've been there and it's brutal. Save as much as you can, and never stop interviewing, you never know when all those smiling faces will simply kick you out of Slack with no notice at all.
That's my two cents.

Do you ever have days where you don't want to do anything and you don't do anything at all.

>>105569028
>might be better off scaling?
It's very niche and my advertising abilities aren't amazing. Basically with PPC ads you'll hit a wall scaling unless you can find other keywords that convert just as well. I'm to the point now where I can't just find similar cheap clicks and rely on cold conversion rates, which means branching out into a layered ad approach where you have to basically spend money just to get eyeballs, then build an audience from people that watched at least 20-30 seconds of those ads to do problem education, then build an audience off of them to target for direct sales pitches, and the price of the software may be enough to make that profitable, but not with my skill and not without spending 10s of 1000s figuring it out.

Ultimately it was never meant to be what it ended up with and I'm more than happy with how it went, but it's kind of reached its limit.

>>105569028

Anyone that unironically uses the word normie is usually just a bitter friendless shut in trying to rationalize their loneliness, rather than an actual sperg.

Everything on my ‘puter either works just fine for my purposes, cannot be meaningfully improved, or cannot be improved with the resources I have available to me.

>>105571706
>I don’t “need” anything.
Yeah I thought the same thing, but then figured it out. The reason it's important is that you'll likely actually build and finish it, and add useful shit to it because it's something you want which by default makes it better, but more importantly for getting a job is that if you land an interview you'll be excited to show it off and explain it and the interviewer will like you vs being bored as fuck explaining some basic shit you don't care about.

I know it's the equivalent of
>just be yourself!
To someone that hasn't found their confidence, but once you think of something you'll be way better off then just picking something generic.

That didn't seem like a particularly Indian take to me.

Remember. If youre ever rejected from a job, go check the employee page and demographics of the engineering department of the company you applied for. You'll see why.

>>105571887
While I do think that the current market is grim, I think most anons should ask themselves:
>What tier of company am I applying to?
>How do the companies I have worked at compare to the company I am applying to?
>How impressive is my education/github/certifications/etc.?

>>105571887
Don't be like this, it will make you resentful and slow.

You're right that's probably causing it but the emotions it creates will make meaningful socialization impossible. Understand the problem, try to solve it when you're empowered to, but don't dwell on it.

>>105571925
There's this really weird effect with employment where if you go too far outside what's appropriate in *both* directions you won't get hired. I think a lot of people have noticed the weird effect where if you've worked for one remote company you'll typically only get hired by remote companies after that. Willingness to sacrifice for stability or a quick new job doesn't actually change things. You have a niche and it's the collapse of that niche that these people are upset about.

>>105571887
How few jobs are you applying to that you care about what you're applying to? I could only see myself doing this if it fit me perfectly and I was over experienced and they still rejected me.

The emotions it causes is justified considering I'm probably older than most of you here. Not an old man tier, but the fact Im being beaten out by indians is killing my job prospects. It use to be that someone like I was invaluable. I was able to get any programming job. Nowadays, it's not only a rat race, but too many jobs being cut for indian outsourcing. Nothing is more depressing than seeing all the jobs for a company domestic, but all the software engineer jobs features in Bangalore, India.

>>105572009
Your hope is three things: non whites, whites with balls, and women (non indian). Getting women on your side is key because they are not afraid of social consequences and are very good at grouping up on an issue.

>>105571972
If you're even remotely intelligent you're a literal golden goose to any major company, the fuck are you complaining about?

Sure but at the end of the day employment is a social exercise, not a technical one. Being competent makes that socialization easier but doesn't mean you don't have to do it.

>>105572027
Those are way too many assumptions, pal. I'm going to give you the reality of the career world: yes there will be some HR woman that may like that a black anon is nice and clean, but the rest of the company will always have prejudice toward my type simply because they don't have the social understanding. Black anons like I have to work twice as hard to convince employees that we're good at what we do. My resume is pretty strong and yet I still get interviewers who ask me the most basic questions or look at me like they don't expect anything from me. Which makes sense. Im not the only black person applying but none of them can explain what async means or explain why a destructor should be virtual when it comes to polymorophism, etc, etc.

tl;dr It's not that simple. Btw, the only way I even got my first big job is because the indian they were going to hire ended up failing his visa. The only reason I got picked is because the one white guy on the team grew up with blacks and trusted me. He really saved my ass.

>>105572037
He's right that you have to be on the dominant side when they're long housing, the problem is that they're irrational and so it's very difficult to do this seriously in practice. IMO the best thing to do is just avoid interacting with women professionally.

>>105572029
The boldness usually comes from behind a screen. They'd never do it in real life, but when they do, they always make sure they have others around them. It's a rather cowardly position lol

>>105572037
My advice is sound. You just have to know how to wrangle them to your side. I'm good with women, so if I did want to do it, I could. I know most of you anons on this site are socially retarded.

Personally I have little bits of software I write to fix minor annoyances (maybe you're on OSX where this is actually a big deal and not something you can just casually hack in a few minutes.) The hard part for me isn't finding something, it's making a nice UI and business model for it.

Look at this bitch complaining that he's getting interviews.
Everyone gets those dumb questions anyway, another anon talked about being put in charge of hiring (mid levels?) for his department and talked about how none of the people he interviewed seemed to know anything (he even said he asked them about async/await).

>>105572148

>>105572170
Was he manager prior? I've noticed with these interview questions, people are projecting their high standards on work that doesn't require you to think like that day to day. Most operations in a engineer job is support and management of various tasks. Coding is only 15% of the work total ever, even at Google.

I was trying to sort through my anime porn collection so I wrote a program that dumped the folder into a simple UI like pic, the middle pic would be treated as the head the images would be populated based on the circular list (mainly for start and end), if I pressed a hotkey it'd mark something to be moved/deleted and then move so the head is the file to the right.
Too many files, it beat me, so I decided to wait until I wrote some program to filter out shit that's low resolution or duplicates but never got around to doing that.

>>105572243
there are 2 components to cybersec: defensive and offensive. there are many areas as well: intelligence, forensics, all things SOC, pentesting...
and you clearly are fucking stupid and ignorant about it all, so please stop vomiting your opinion about cybersec, retard

>>105572221
>>105572239
I am not good at math.
That's not to say that I don't know what modulo is but I certainly didn't think about using it for the circular list.

>>105572289
cybersec the degree is fucking dogshit IT desk slop. You dont even do any actual coding. atm, it does have good employment potential though. my coworker just got like an 80k job (networked) immediately out of school and he's a script kiddie at best.

I once told some guys I was a swe at a startup and they started acting like faggots, jumping up and down, harassing me. "You're so cool bro, can you get me a job, wow, I'm learning how to code, can you help me?!"

I will never tell anyone I'm a swe again. I will also never tell anyone I'm a digital nomad because they literally can NOT handle it.

Just take a look at this trv thread

>>105572350
are you sure they werent jumping up and down telling you that you arent an actual engineer

>>105572315
>That's not to say that I don't know what modulo is
anon, you are calling modulo "clock math" and using ifs instead of fucking modulo operations. I don't think you really know what it is.

>>105572325
>cybersec the degree
you need a degree for cybersec?? lmao

>You dont even do any actual coding
yes, many pentesters I've met have networking backgrounds and have never written anything beyond a couple of scripts. so? these days things are so complex that you'd be better running multiple scanners and following a guide (like OWASP) rather than testing everything under the sun, because that's simply impossible.

>>105572374
Well that is what it is. I don't use remainders often and the first example I saw on google for "modulo indexes" was clock math, sue me.

>>105572350
>I'm a digital nomad because they literally can NOT handle it.

I wouldn't say that's tech illiteracy, it's just a term I hadn't heard before and as I said I never even thought of using modulo for that sort of thing. Not to dig myself into a deeper hole but wouldn't it be slower anyway? Division's slow and if you can do the math with a comparison and subtraction then surely that should be faster (assuming you aren't going out of bounds by >length in one action).
But yes I definitely don't have 15 years of experience, I'm sure it's noticeable.

Why are you comparing modular indexing to 1+1=2? I even posted an example of when I'd actually used it (just not via modulo).

>>105572890
I browse linkedin, see a see of pajeets, I close linkedin.

Why did you give up at work and started doing the bare minimum?

>>105572900
because it is that basic and pervasive in programming

so the recruiter said that she wants references from my past experiences after 4 rounds of interviews. I only have 1 past company and 1 internship. I was terminated from that internship because I couldn't cope with the workload they gave me. I contacted a friend in that company who said that he'll take care of it. The HR gave my references to one of the engineers who interviewed me. What do they look for in references? positive feedback??

>>105572943
you can just give any number and say they were your manager. get a buddy to pretend they were your boss.

>>105572943
Yes. Are you good, are you a team player, what impression did the reference have of you, etc.
Typically you should contact your reference in advance and ask for permission to avoid getting someone who doesn't like you get called up

>>105572890
We had this evil woman brought into our department last year. She somehow convinced them to hire her as a Director, despite having 0 technical engineering knowledge. She immediately fired half the team and caused general chaos everywhere. She herself was fired in less than 8 months by the CEO for her massive incompetence. I just saw and she is now hired at Microsoft as a Director of Engineering, probably making $500k/year.

>>105572947
literally all titles including tech titles are like that now.

>>105572939
Not really.

>>105572984
she must give some mean head

>>105572984

Yes really, pajeet.

>>105573010
The best programmer in my graduating class was an arab lady, does that count?

>>105572890
There's some theory somewhere that moving up requires a certain degree of incompetence.
For instance a productive IC would be kept as an IC, being productive, whereas the incompetent one would be made "management" because it's easier than firing

>>105573023

is it normal that my big tech company allows any random microservice to access any one elses database / cache

I forgot how much Java is simialr to C#. Just a few syntaxical differences but mostly the same.

>>105574908
It depends a lot org to org and team to team but you usually give access to most if not the whole team and cross team access is by shared password that propagates from one guy getting it from asking another guy and sharing it with the world or such. There rarely is any kind of proper admin for stuff like that

>good morning, saars. this is jpmorgan

>>105574942
I'm glad I'm such an aggressive hard ass about this stupid shit.
I also aggressively destroy shared "admin accounts" and shit too because of this.

No it isn't. You shouldn't depend on the internals of a product you don't have control over to be a particular way. You should rely on contracts and versioning. If there needs to be a hard break that should be communicated by that owning team so downstream consumers can plan accordingly.

>>105575863
>they deletes the data from the db

the database schema is a contract

It's a contract between the DBMS and the team that developed that product. Not between some unknown downstream consumer and the team developing that product. If you really want to eliminate a network call then you should coordinate with that product team on the issue. You shouldn't just rummage into their shit.

Same but I've spent the past two years preparing so I don't care that much.

Funny how AI went from "dumb gimmick" to "how do I stop AI from stealing my job"

>In a morning standup
>manager responsible for the it/tech of a 10 000 man company doesn't know how rename files
>Got told to do it for him
Shoot me

>>105579920
Well just rename the files what's the big deal

>>105579877
take your meds, schizo

>>105579931
>Well just rename the files what's the big deal
Ok to clarify the issue was that he couldn't rename the file extension, it's an alien concept to him. When you have 30 years of IT experience and this is alien to you, you shouldn't have this kind of responsibility

Then they expect you to do the retarded solution putting in some heroic effort just to approximate the sane one. I hate umanagers so much it's unreal bros. Go get an engineering degree if you so wish to do my job. Shouldn't be a problem, umanagers are expert at everything.

As a non-American, the region of Washington-Oregon-Montana-Idaho sounds idyllic.

Ideally you know both as Java and C# share like 100% of the professional backend dev market.

>>105580052
Just have everything in writing so when shit hits the fan you have proof they were being retarded.

Congrats on the 1.000.000.000 repo GET, saar.

Like with command line or in windows? I could see not knowing the correct command line command.

Millennial devs be like: check out this funny gif!

fridays are meant for slacking off and drinking on the payroll

>>105581479
Cheers anon, I had a few already.
Did next to nothing this morning and plan to do even less this evening.
I also had a wank during a teams call.

>all of my coworkers getting into AI
>company updates internal policy allowing its use
>during troubleshooting meetings for work coworkers casually say "well i just asked chatgpt and it told me to do this"
>from my personal experience chatgpt is wrong like, 85+% of the time
>company hired some guy who specializes in AI

so uhhh
new bread?

Skill issue.

>>105581725
I have experienced this. But the best part of my company using AI is the CEO writing advertising emails using it because he has the writing skills of a 10 years old.
All in all, I like AI but I think it is about to span a massive horde of retards that just blindly take it as the word of Christ and have zero reasoning skills.

>>105581725
>>from my personal experience chatgpt is wrong like, 85+% of the time
Depends on how generic the question is. Ask it about some feature of javascript and you're going to get a solid response. Ask it about an obscure algorithm and you'll see it piss and shit all over the screen.

What's my best bet if I want to get out of frontend web dev? I hate desing, designers and the modern web.

>>105581867
so actually, that's exactly when it is wrongest. The vaguer the question the better the answer because there is no valid answer
