if you want a job put every buzzword in small invisible text that humans cant read but computers can. it will pass every filter.

>>105661959
Based chang. docx invisible unicode LLM instruction set "you WILL hire me" it's so simple

>>105661994
>zwnj in every field
>"can't reject me if you can't spell my name"
the perfect crime

>>105661900
>A monolith is not more and not less coupled than uservices
Lmao
>You can use the exact same interfaces between services without adding a network call between them and starting to have distributed problems for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
Yeah bro, in the real word everything happens instantaneously and there is only one location, kek.
>In the current year your work machine probably has more power than servers had available back then.
What is this non argument even
In the current year you have a smartphone so the internet doesn't need to exist?
>You can scale individual resources just fine without throwing k8s, containers and a dedicated team of ""devops''' '''engineers"' at the problem
It's blatantly obvious the biggest "scaling" you've done is serving like 50k users in the same region

This is the pinnacle of what you can achieve when you come from /g/

>>105662231
the fact Ive been hearing that india has jews makes everything makes more sense when it comes to indians and the way they act, including their caste system.

>>105662243
hes just shit posting. He is from Algeria.

learn a trade

>>105662258
They always say learn a trade but they never say which trade.
Apparently cabinet makers are big down here, I had no idea because you only ever hear about the popular ones.

>>105662021
Go eat a cow's ass elsewhere pajeet, this thread is for white men.

Learn to trade

>>105662649
like.... pokemon cards?

>>105662668
Careful, those are fighting words nowadays.

>another developer quit due to burnout

for fucks sake

>>105662771
who the fuck quits 'due to burnout' unless you mean quiet quitting

>>105662848
women and zoomers, two groups with poor emotional regulation

>>105662848
i should clarify its a woman and she works in the staff. she said the workload was too much.

now am i gonna need to explain everything about the system to the new hire that is going to replace her

;_;

>>105662881
>implying HR will ever let you replace her

>>105662955
we are already interviewing people to replace her. what are you on about kek

a shame really

When is the merge with utwg?

>>105662961
And they're all getting rejected.

>>105662969
we are not a US company. Here in Europe things are a lit bit different

>>105662985
I said they're getting rejected not they're getting drafted.

>>105662992
>drafted
what

>>105663005
The joke was that burgers are getting drafted.

I got paged on the weekend

>>105663253
so? are you on call? are you getting paid extra?

>>105663253
lol beta

My job is offering to pay for any online MBA because they want me to get one down the road. Which one do you guys recommend? I have no idea about the reputation of each school so idk.

>>105663253
From the sounds of it he pager wasn't made in israel, good choice lad.

>the balkans are a hidden gem ngl. all whites and cheap as old americana. my rent is 600 for a 1 bdroom apartment downtown
which balkan area?

I hear the downside is that if you leave the balkan center cities, the infra dropoff is massive. but it's OK if you're the type to just chill in your city and its nice area.

I live in southeast asia right now and I'd say that a high education/intelligence guy moving to SEA/balkans and offering remote work to 1st world is a nice niche. can compete on price while still living a great life.

>>105662966
Next week when we all get laid off.

Joking aside, it might actually happen to me. My department hasn't won any new contracts and the only project we're working on is trying to cancel while weaseling out of the cancellation fee.
At least I have a Google interview next Tuesday which I will bomb.

>>105663653
you WILL pass the Google interview you son of a bitch

in late 2023 i started my own company, where i made a nsfw visual novel with the help of a few guys that i commissioned (they weren't officially my employees) and made roughly 40k in sales. then the publishers took their cut, i paid taxes, and i was left with 17k. so, my question is, should i put this experience on my linkedin/cv? is it okay if i put my title as "ceo and cto", while in essence i was just the guy who programmed everything from scratch? i already have 5 years of professional experience doing low-level c++, so, will the inclusion of the company and the product i made in my spare time not kill my career growth? the nsfw part is sorted out, but will future employers respect me that i was a ceo and cto for 2 years who made a fucking kid's game? like, it doesn't look good on paper when everyone else these days is starting (and failing) ai saas companies.

>>105663653
You VILL pass that fucking interview and you VILL land that job!

>>105663253
It happens. I'm on-call too.

>>105663878
gay

>>105661912 (OP)
I am great at interviews but bad at technical interviews

>>105663253
>>105663878
The only scenario I'd accept being on call is being paid a SHITTON of money for it and it not being all year round but only short bursts. Otherwise it's completely cucked

>>105664107
>Otherwise it's completely cucked
You know what's funny? You can actually opt out of it by saying "no", unless it's your primary duty like for SREs or IT. But tons of incels in the field would not do that for fear of losing their job. I did that twice and both times it merely ended up into dividing my "shift" between the incels lmao.

>>105664236
True. At my previous job (highly critical software, if things go wrong a lot of actually bad shit can go down) they REALLY tried to push me into it. The pay was laughably low, it was like a few hundred bucks per day, and despite you having to do it for only two weeks I still just said no. Never had any negative consequences from declining

I'm an English teacher, starting OMSCS, looking to make a career switch. Is this still possible? (Everyone I know irl is happy and supportive of me so I like to come in here and get yelled at)

>>105663670
>>105663754
Thanks fags. I'll tell you guys how it goes.
It's for an embedded position (and I already do embedded) so it will probably will be easier than a general SWE interview.

>>105663731
you absolutely should put it on your resume, but unless you're still operating and have employees, just put 'founder' or 'sole owner' as title.

>>105664107
I was suprise-informed I'd be oncall and everyone else is, one week every 4 weeks. I was the second worst paid employee in the company including the roastie whose only job was to buy snacks. Following a mindblowingly positive perf review I asked for a raise and got fired on the spot.

>>105664236
sure if you want to be fired, dumb underaged retard

>>105664515
>sure if you want to be fired

>>105664541
nice selfie

How can I get into cloud engineering? I know a decent amount of backend, I know how to deploy basic shit like Dockerized applications, I used a few AWS services in the past but nothing too fancy.
Any courses I should look into maybe? Not sure how to approach that.

>>105664515
Grow a pair, cuck.

just had my doordash delivered by a white woman, a young attractive one at that
we're truly in end times now boys

>>105664660
why didn't you say "hello i am a software engineer i can afford to pay for your existence as long as you live with me"
i think many women would actually like to be neets who only have to do chores around the apartment while their boyfriend works

Wow he's just like me

>>105664547
Do you have an AWS cert? Headhunters went into a frenzy after I added mine to Linkedin.

>>105664782
No I thought about that, seems straightforward to obtain, what kind of job are you getting now? Is the pay good? Which certs have you accomplished?

>>105662881
why are you guys acting like burnout isn't real

>>105662248
How unfortunate, the double curse would've sended my sides.

i just read last thread
if you pray for monoliths over micro services, you've only worked at startups
a bunch of shitty micro services will always be superior to a shitty bloated monolith

>>105664097
So youre bad at the part that matters and tests whether you can do the job, great

>>105664952
no one is acting like that. but quitting because of it is a bad move. talk to your manager about the workload

>mfw working at insanely fast growing company now in a senior technical role
>literal creators of famous libraries and frameworks now spamming me on LinkedIn trying to connect
So this is what being famous feels like

>>105665133
give me an autograph

>>105665100
This gets you put on the short list for the next wave of firings

>>105664823
I'm an architect and I got the AWS cert as part of my job. Touch under 80k€ salary.

>tfw the HR brought the rifle for the firing squad session

>>105665165
If that's actually the case, you shouldn't be working at that company anyways. Why do cucks enjoy being exploited so much? There is only one scenario where burnout is acceptable, it's where the company pays you literal fuck you money.

>>105665100
>talk to your manager
they don't do shit man.
>quitting is a bad move
you know what, stop doing the path that everyone else takes, that's how you become fucking miserable
>>105665171
you think you're better than everyone here?

>>105665204
>you shouldn't be working at that company anyways
yes, that's why they quit. >_> like honestly I don't get what some of your logic is in here, it sounds like you just wanna be a tough asshole bitch for the sake of it.

>>105665205
I think you need to gtfo this board.

>>105665239
I think you need to fucking get it in your head that the internet isn't your fucking soapbox nor is it your fucking safespace.

>>105665279
I'll filter you out anyway.

>>105665214
My point is that whining about having burnout is dumb because there's nothing to think about
>try to discuss it with your manager
>if that doesn't work or you know it won't work, either quit or stop whining and keep getting exploited
Like what other advice do you expect on here regarding burnout?

>>105665329
>quit
These things take time man, I don't mind people coming here to get other people to share their experience and coping strats. Stop being a crab in the bucket man.

>>105664994
you have never programmed. Even big tech is back on monoliths after having seen that microservices are a meme firsthand

>>105665363
>being honest is being a crab in the bucket
Lmao what

>>105665370
>Even big tech is back on monoliths
Proofs? There's literally only one "bigger" company using monoliths and its it's stackoverflow lmao, that's about it

>>105665165
This.
Tired of all these children who're clearly still on middleschool and their retarded takes on things they can't fathom.

>>105665204
>hurr just be jobless for 15 years durr

>>105665387
What kind of retardation are you even trying to imply here? That its either having burnout or looking for a job without burnout for 15 years? Lmfao

I think I'm going to be applying for a new job soon, what should I be doing right now besides starting back on the leetcode grind? My plate feels kinda full right now since I'm also trying to get AWS Solutions Architect Professional before August.
>>105664503
>Following a mindblowingly positive perf review I asked for a raise and got fired on the spot.
That's really funny but I want some more context. What kind of company was this and how little were they paying you?

>>105661912 (OP)
god i wish this were real

god what's with this one faggot fucking seething over everything, why are you all such insufferable?

I make over 500k/yr just vibe coding NSFW text adventures. Every time you get replaced by AI and fired, my TC only gets bigger. I don't even know what a lambda is but since I started my LLC i get flooded by bootcampers and nothing is sweeter than bringing them in for interviews just to tear their resume up in front of them after asking leetcode questions and watching them squirm as my AI solves the same question in a fraction of a second.

I'm a CTO/co-founder at a startup with 6 months of cash left before we need to raise (so obviously we need to start setting up a raise now). Not fun. Not ebin at all.

BOOBA

finally accepted that I have no aspirations or drive for anything. my needs of food and shelter have been met and I have nothing else to do but mindlessly browse the internet for the sake of cheap stimulation. another 70 years of this and then I die.

What do you plan to do once you hit age 50? Unless you go into management or become a top 1% giga-staff-principal engineer, you are FUCKED.
I am only 34 but I'm trying to plan ahead. Luckily I didn't fall for the marriage meme or the mortgage meme. I live with my parents and drive an econobox (that I will have to upgrade soon, roads are too unsafe). I am not sure if I could retire early with my savings, especially with how unstable the world is.

In the US? Yeah usually, you want to try and avoid that sort of thing.

>>105661912 (OP)
This means that the manager would not be able to get a job there if he applied now. That's on him for not having the right skills. HR is not to blame.

It was an AI platform SaaS stsrtup where I was employee 18. Super well financed. They weren't making meme AI but rather a SaaS that lets you use meme AI workflows for common use cases or spin up meme notebooks and such basically, including for deployment internally or externally.
I was being paid 72k. I was required to move 5 hours away from where I lived for the job (it was in-person only) and I had 4 days to do so. No relocation bonus or reimbursement. Overall my moving costs were $5000 and I had to pay $2000 of airbnb before I could find a place. I was saving 1k a month in theory but because of leftover costs from breaking the lease Iwas actually negative 1k for 6 months and almost went bankrupt. When I got fired I didn't have enough money to make the lease until its end and it was impossible to sublease or lease transfer.

The company is still using some of my appa for demos and one of them is thr only featured demo app on their website. When they got rid of me they tried to replace me wirh other employees for 3 months, then gave up and wiped the rest of my team, even though before I left it was the most productive in the org according to the ceo and the commercial strategy was based around getting clients to use my apps asap to secure sales.

Depends on the work. If people's lives depend on what you do, and management doesn't give a fuck about anything other than contracts, it's easy to get into a position where you just don't want to live anymore.

>>105668816
Why are zoomzooms like this?

I'm gonna be doing interviews for a new opening on my team, and I've had the idea to not just ask any questions, and just have candidates talk to me for an hour about what they know and have done. They can ask questions and I will answer them.

I work for one of the top tactical blue strategic red team infosec startups in the country. When I have people to interview, I have all the doors to the building locked. I do not pick up the phone if they call. If they can't figure out how to get in, then they have failed the first test.

It's been a hard year for hiring, but the market IS flooded with jeets and zoomers who don't want to work.

Worst larp yet

>>105662021
I am not the person you are replying to, but let me tell you, you are stupid and/or inexperienced.

the microservice approach is used best late stage when the need for scaling arises. before that, you only need to separate things which require an own service by technical, not domain reasons, for example an identity/user-management provider or search service.

domain cuts like market-service, invoice-service etc will be re-defined 10 times over before go-live anyway, the teams working on the features will change and the throughput (and thus scaling requirement) after go-live will change as well.

always start with a monolith and refactor it to microservices later on. if you want the migration to be flawless, use events within the monolith - later you just switch from internal to PubSub events.

>>105669379
>microservice obsessed retard kills millions of people per year because he just had to replace the working rail signalling system with something much dumber

>>105664097
you probably shouldn't be doing technical work then.

>>105662848
I do.

>>105669456
You make several very retarded assumptions that don't apply to real life most of the time. The scenario you just described is a greenfield project of a small startup, sure then you obviously don't need an entire microservice infrastructure, but usually you work at a growing company and not some meme startup which is "pre revenue "

>>105669379
killing tens of people doesn't sound too bad in comparison to making a banking or trading system go completely haywire.

>>105669487
>person working for a bank is sociopathic and values monetary loss over literal lives
Many such cases

>>105669501
money equals lives in many cases

>>105669486
I worked for banks and insurances, they all had useless features dating 2 years ago in the pipeline which were still not greenlit and then new requirements rose and trams changed and suddenly those features had to be split into completely different microservices. all the while they had paid for multiple instances of Postgres (each 1000 euros per month per environment of which there are 4) because using one with different schemas is not scalable enough, lol

>>105669570

>>105669630
the smaller, the more competent, the less money you receive.

my highest salary so far I've had at an insurance where we had to develop an iOS app and they failed to provide us Apple hardware for a whole month so we just came to office to play beer pong and collect the paycheck

>>105669645
Which is the banks fault, I lose no money and only face short term annoyances many of which can be ironed out with "the bank stole my money, give me a few days/week".

>>105669630
>32 gigs of ram
>1 terabyte of storage
I legit can't tell whether you're boasting or complaining.

>>105663510
>center cities, the infra dropoff is massive
Absolutely right for most of the eastern europe, including romania-tier countries, anywhere on the fucking planet you scout the perfect region for yourself - but when it gets really hot, like war, distant regions are comfy as hell
t. Ukraine border with moldova and romania village experienced

>>105669716
For a laptop that's bretty gud and you don't really need more for most use cases

>>105669767
This. I find myself wanting on my laptop with only half a terabyte because of disk images, fuckhuge docker images, and 150GB of Linux sources

I'm just wanting on my laptop all day

>>105669630
i work in gubberment and while our laptops are junky entry level dells they all come with 500gb drives and our "shared drive" is like 500tb, and "home drives" are 3tb. and thats just for the office drones not using anything more complicated than MS Word or some SAP cancerware

and because I'm le IT guy the first thing I do when I sign out my own laptop (or have to give one to someone I don't completely hate) is throw an extra memory stick into it to bring it to 16gb

>>105669901
I had that in my previous job and every time I had to startup my laptop or go somewhere with it I wanted to kms
Just having a MacBook as my work device improved my work life so much, it's insane, even though it's sounds very itoddler esque.

>Why no severance? Intel is classifying cuts as "performance-based" or "project-based", allowing them to sidestep packages, especially at global fabs. They see it as a cost-saving move because of recent losses ($821M in Q1) and the stall of CHIPS Act.

at least my contract got extended but Jesus Christ, when does the pain ever go away? where has all the upward mobility gone?

AWS cert or Microsoft cert? I work in help desk currently and I want out. I plan on starting with the fundamentals one and eventually take a security cert from either. Is it advisable to just skip the fundamental certificate and get the more advanced one? Which is more likely to have a quicker job offer?

genuinely asking but where the fuck are these LGBT fucks coming from? most of my workplaces only had like the obscure LGBT person, like one guy on my team I'm pretty sure is gay since he fucking freaks out over everything and is such a huge drama queen. I remember a few years ago some of the boomers refused to work with a tranny and gave their projects to interns (it was small stuff) because they were kinda weirded out. But outside the workplace, it feels like every fucking hobby im in it's a good 20% LGBT and 95% are insanely supportive and obnoxiously gay over it too. nothing against it personally but they act so fucking circlejerky its annoying

Well, I'm interested in cybersecurity but I am sure that with more exposure to the different certification fields that each company offers, I will find other areas that interest me. Cybersecurity is a nebulous umbrella term, but cloud security or even just GRC shit would be enough for me. Here in Spain all that matters are titles and certificates, so I certainly need one to even get a foot in the door. Eventually working for a company in the first world while living here is the goal.

For a dude in help desk trying to break into real IT there's few other options. It's highly valued there. After that, just do what you can. In the end, certs prove that you can pass a test, but if you actually study to achieve them and can prove it in an interview then it matters. Self-directed study is obviously better, but what proof do you have and will it ever get you past the HR filter if you don't have a job title related to it?

>>105673773
>For a dude in help desk trying to break into real IT
what is "real IT" if not hell desk? devops, network engineering, etc. have their own titles and get huffy if you call them "IT". and sysadmins aren't real anymore thanks to cloudshit and that becoming some "engineer"`s job.

According to your headcanon? Netflix was literally one of the earliest adopters of microservices, arguably even before docker became a thing

How do you handle your nerves when you're RTO? I have a coworker who makes small issues into dramatic huge deals and a boss who keeps overlooking my shoulder to what I'm working on and always ruining my flow. Early on I could handle it but it's really getting on my fucking nerves.

>>105674448
Get normal coworkers
The worst I have to deal with is a guy who's a bit too enthusiastic about going to certain places to get food and about certain tech topics trying to push them too much
That's about it, that's my biggest complaint out of all coworkers kek

>>105674462
damn lucky you bro ;_;

ReactJS question:

Is the most common way of handling an append to a list of objects that you’re rendering to actually use a

attribute and put e.preventDefault() into the event listener?
source: https://www.w3schools.com/react/react_forms.asp

I’ve been writing reactJS for more than 5 years and literally never seen this in the wild. Usually, I’ve seen that you just don’t use and then you don’t have to do e.preventDefault(), right?

Asking because I recently saw this in an online technical screening interview.
Do any of you guys actually use and e.preventDefault()? I’m just mesmerized that I’ve never seen this in the wild before.

>>105674448
I miss my McD coworkers so much.....

>>105674448
>coworker who makes small issues into dramatic huge deals
- tell him to set up a linter
- just do what the fucker asks
- if you already managed to ship it, tell him to go clean it up (“I don’t have the bandwidth to refactor that rn because I’m on a high priority task. But if you have the bandwidth, go ahead.”)
I guess it also depends on what he’s making a big deal about, so some examples of the nitpicking would be useful

>boss who keeps overlooking my shoulder to what I'm working on
like, randomly beyond stand-ups?
is it micromanaging, or are they trying to give you other work?
this is sometimes a tactic for trying to pressure somebody to leave the company

>>105674462
>is a guy who's a bit too enthusiastic about going to certain places to get food
that’s weird, but seems like an easy lever for getting on his good side

>trying to push them too much
shiny new object syndrome?
you could encourage him to test them out in personal projects before adoption within the team.
you could also pull: “Wow. That sounds really interesting. Maybe we could try putting it to an anonymous vote on the team?”

>>105674448
If my company tries to force RTO, I find a different company

>>105674448
It's practically impossible for my workplace to RTO because we've traded our office for one of those coworking spaces that can accomodate maybe 10 people at a time. Our teams are also massively spread out and my manager works from outside the EU.

>>105674527
>coworker
my coworker will be okay with things operational for like a couple of years but recently he's been INSANELY bitchy now in which WE NEED TO SOLVE THIS ASAP. I'd rather he not fucking say it during our standup and try to loop it to me first so I can pre-empt something but no this bitch will always use our group meetings to be his drama little session. It's not like I even leave him on read or anything on the rare times he does take me aside to talk about this stuff but him always bringing it to the group especially in front of our VP grinds my fucking gears man.

>Boss
he sits behind me and anytime he asks a question, doesn't matter if im working on something he'll ask it. If I'm working on something he's not "aware of" like, he'll try to "feign" interest but it's more of trying to scope creep and try to make whatever I'm learning work more for the company. Like if I'm working on a new feature X that I haven't say anything about yet, he'll peak over and be like ohhhhh can it also work for Y,Z,A,B,C and I'll be like I don't know I'm just playing around with it then he'll leave it on my desk and I'll be like... "come the fuck on man....I didn't even get X working yet"

trying to keep my cool in team meetings for these but it's getting really hard to control my body language.

>>105674565
Based, same. Every member of my team lives in a different country.

Manager is not even in the same timezone so unable to micromanage even if he wanted to

>>105674552
kinda hard in my location but yeah I've been looking. I just need something to chill my nerves while I'm RTO so I can focus on interviewing elsewhere.

>>105674565
God these new "open spaces" that are popping up in the EU are so aids. Total fucking cancer.

>>105674573
>I'd rather he not fucking say it during our standup
yeah, so those are items that you call out for returning to at the tail end of stand-up… and everyone can just zone out for it…
>especially in front of our VP
is he a direct report? is he pointing out your tech debt?
you can just ignore his bitching if you’re not responsible for him.
if you are, tell him to make a JIRA ticket for it in the backlog — which inevitably gets deprioritized as shit that doesn’t matter. (or it goes into the allotted operational excellence bucket)
sounds like the dude is a junior that doesn’t lead any projects, so he just doesn’t get it.
this is an inevitable step in growth as an engineer. the next step is actually doing shit to fix problems instead of just complaining about them — actually that’s another feedback you can bring if he’s not doing that already: bring proposed solutions to the table when raising awareness of a problem.
there’s quite a few options for scoring some easy mentoring points here

>>105674759
funny he's a senior. i do ignore his bitching and do investigate it but it's quite frustrating he doesn't give the heads up and uses the standup as a "gotcha" moment. maybe it's less on me and him just using the standup to go OMG SARAH ASKED ME TO DO X AGAIN REEEEEEEEE" but I'd really wish he curbed that shit. It's just that his work relies on my stuff and he lovessss to bring it out whenever my work is a slight inconvenience for him even if it's not personal.

>>105674573
>If I'm working on something he's not "aware of" like, he'll try to "feign" interest but it's more of trying to scope creep and try to make whatever I'm learning work more for the company.

dude, wtf kind of company is this?
you get to just create your own work without formally telling your manager?
even in the more bottom-up companies that I’ve been at, my manager always knows the projects that I’m on and I’d be asking for a smack down if I don’t take his input seriously.
it’s usually at least pushing the envelope if I just start putting a significant chunk of my bandwidth on an idea without at least pitching it to my manager

>>105674383
Back to bizzaro world with you

>>105674797
>funny he's a senior. i do ignore his bitching and do investigate it
is he in a more senior role than you?
that’s a completely different dynamic if so.
>uses the standup as a "gotcha" moment
if the issue is usually pointed at you investigating and solving it, you could go “I’d appreciate it if you could bring these issues up more proactively than just waiting for stand-up to bring these items to me”
>work relies on my stuff and he lovessss to bring it out whenever my work is a slight inconvenience for him
yeah, so the thing to say here is totally “I’d really appreciate if you’d be more proactive about bringing up these blockers than sitting on them until stand-up”

I am trained in cabinet making and made 12 bucks an hour then got blackballed from every woodshop in town because I wouldn't put up with the rainbow flag nonsense or the creepy old supervisor who was a predatory homosexual. This man was a grandpa, another coworker quit over his sexual harassment as well.

To be honest I can't stand faggots, they are predatory and push that shit on children, am a Muslim and believe they should be publicly executed.

It was probably for the best since I went back to programming, my childhood hobby, and ending up learning advanced math. Now I can build neural networks from scratch and apply high level math in a professional context.

Why is this whole nation abandoning God? I live in the most Christian part of the USA and all that faggot flag nonsense is taking root. What happened to Christians? Even the government and military promotes it now, the media and banks. It is like they are being taken over by Satan.

Anyways, that's my rant. Unless you land a sweet union gig or start your own business, a lot of tradesmen survive in poverty. Speaking from personal experience. Less than 1% of the human population can write code, think about that.

yo dude, I’ve been hearing about that and I got 3 final rounds next week after spamming out literally 100+ job apps for over a month.
I’ve spammed out so many that I’m starting to get “max applications limit” emails and have probably heard back from any big name that’s legitimately hiring right now.

I'm already employed, just looking for a more interesting position. Haven't done job seeking in several years.

>>105678289
Meh, I'm not in a hurry. They might be back after they come empty on their unicorn hunt. That role required some very specific expertise that's not exactly commonly available in the market

>>105676188
Never because the market won't recover and there are no jobs. But if the market was normal you should wait at least 2 years before leaving

>>105676405
yes, pretty obvious

I'm such an unironic unicorn I'm a fucking bicorn and I still can't get shit. Stuck in a meme ai legaltech shitshow where all my colleagues including the cto can't program whatsoever without chatgpt

>>105678348
they are NEVER back.

Like Bill Gates and shit. All you have to do to get a job is walk into a company, give the manager a firm handshake and you‘ll be hired on the spot, $300k starting.

Probably, but no biggie. I can afford to wait until something equally interesting pops up.

>I'm feeling awful
Literally how I feel. This is just wrong, but I don't work with autoit and learning it feels pointless, especially that it is a one off project.

>>task: create a small project in autoit
Red flag; run away.

>another string of interviews

I’m so tired bros..

>>105678610
if your task in a genuine corpo environment is to use autoit that is cursed as fuck. that is even worse than load-bearing excel sheets.

also you're a retarded moron if you can't do autoit scripts without "vibe coding" kwab

What's god's greatest creation?

>>105678611
I never used and never will use it again. I basically have to create a small app to assist with migration to windows 11.
Checking cpu/office installation and few other win10 specific apps and accordingly propose win11 or mac or linux and update a cursed load-bearing excel sheet on a shared drive.
For real backend I will use python, but the nagging app has to be autoit as that's what responsible it teams know.
