is that actual cash flow, holdings, or just "valuation"?

>>105679352
waiting for the first $B only fan '''model'''

>>105679443
"Net worth" is valuation of the company and all of its assets minus liabilities.

So as a person, your net worth is all of your assets (money in the bank, investment portfolio value, value of your house, value of your car, value of your stamp collection) minus liabilities (your mortgage, your car loan, your credit card debt).

Of course, for companies this is a bit more vague since they own quite a lot of stuff that is not easy to appraise like intellectual property.

I'm tired of larping neets saying "just quit and get another job bro" the instant anything happens
why do these people who live in their mother's basement insist on larping as people who have to actually pay the bills

>>105679482
>"Net worth" is valuation of the company and all of its assets minus liabilities.
that falls apart when you consider stonk valuation which is often priced according to market demand for a financial instrument, not the actual literal value of the company in terms of its holdings and expected cash income

likewise, the value of a youtube channel is probably quite low in reality (the ad revenue isnt much and youtubers arent exactly known for huge capital assets or ownership of big IPs beyond their own persona) but a company would be willing to pay a lot to acquire it (where it then gains an absurd "valuation" based on the nebulous value of it as a marketing tool)

r8 my side hustle idea
>automating job application as a service, but now with more added AI and MCP
basically what everyone sane is doing but a turnkey solution to the dumbies
Automatically apply and reply to recruiter spam, prompt the user if a real interview is scheduled or other action is needed

>>105679598
1. already exists
2. is useless, since none of those lead to actual job offers due to the sheer volume of spam
3. get better at your fucking job you useless junior and stop talking about side hustles that are equivalent to patreon scams

not only does this already exist as a series of websites, but is the entire foundation of the "recruiting" "industry" and in any civilized first world country you can go, for free, to government-run shops that will do all that crap for you too.

and much like every other service that tries to put power in the hands of applicants, companies don't put their listings there because they know they will only get retards and egotists, usually retarded egotists and egotist retards at that

I have an idea for a startup. It's like taxis, but they run on a predefined route and you just hop on when you feel like. Also, if we get enough in our VC round, we'll run them on electrified tracks that go directly from one stop to another instead of using the road. We'll put them above the street or bore holes through the earth if we must. Who's with me on this?

That was rightoid slander
1) she didn't do nothing, that meme comes from the fact that some retards decided "lines of code = contribution to the project" (mind you this was a project with a shitton of boilerplate too)
2) neither did she take all the credit, that was the media running with the stronk womyn narrative

There's no discrimination though bro, it's illegal after all :^)

Not sure how to feel about my manager. He's a really nice guy in general, but is extremely absent. Doesn't micromanage, (or manage at all really) which is nice and does have your back with most things. However, when it comes to anything technical, or even our processes he has no idea what we're talking about. I work in the Helpdesk so nothing majorly complicated. He doesn't know about the different types of accounts we use, or our ID verification process. When he speaks to other teams they often message me asking where he got this info from, or if our processes have changed. He's been here longer than I have, about 6 years. No idea how he gets away with it.

>>105678988
Jira is pretty good, but confluence is horrible. Not sure if it's because people here cram stuff in it willy nilly or the search function sucks ass, but you literally have to bookmark pages that you need because you'll never find them again otherwise.

The workplace is so fucked man lol. Nobody knows what they're doing and everyone's a fucking snake. Even /twg/ is filled with assholes who'll try to drag you down because everyone is fucking miserable. depressing.

>>105679859

I realized it 10 years ago and stopped caring.
Nowadays new things can only be made by geniuses (genius devs or idea guys) or large teams.

The thing that bugs the shit outta me and I really have no respect for it even with other teams/stakeholders is when they forget names. I don't mind you honestly forgetting but most of the time they'll try to save themselves by saying some random ass fucking name and considering we're meeting on microsoft teams and it takes 3 seconds to see the participants its quite insulting.

Could use some advice on sorta this but I'm burnt and hiding it during RTO days are hard. I can generally act "okay" but my tolerance is insanely low. Even my body language during meetings its getting significantly harder to maintain. Yes I'm looking for a new job but I need to swim and I'm trying really hard not to spill my spaghetti but I'm starting to get annoyed at all the screaming freaks here.

Why it is so hard to find a proper meal option in tech, bros?
In my home country I could pay a simple monthly fee and have piping hot meals delivered right to my desk with proper dish ware and silver ware and then the same boy will come back to collect the dirty plates and utensils after lunch or dinner. Now that I'm in america, they deliver me bland food in a cardboard box and the utensils are plastic or not there at all. They do not even collect the disposable container trash. How can I be expected to deliver maximum value to the Company when they are not even willing to give me the basic luxury of fresh meals at the prescribed hours?

>>105679911
just take some vacation days for a week and chill bro

>want doughnuts from a certain shop that’s far away
>uber eats and whoever the fuck else doesn’t go there or is out of range

Why isn’t there a service where you just tell a guy to buy sone shit no matter where and bring it to you

At least it doesn’t exist in my country Could make millions

>>105679931
I did. It made it worse desu.

>>105679951
skill issue then, stop caring so much

>>105679859
Because his primary job is to prevent shit rolling uphill. He's there so that his boss can ask him if things are on track and your manager says yes and shows him a spreadsheet and ppt with green numbers and good lines going up or bad ones going down without the unnecessary shit like 'anon thinks we should change the way of working to x because he sometimes has problems with y' or 'anon wants a raise because he'll leave'. The upper management doesn't want to even hear your name, much less anything else about you.

>>105679954
come on don't give me that

>>105679962
>what's 2+2, and don't say 4 give me a proper answer!

unless you're a retard with no money saved it's a non-issue

yeah why don't i just quit my job and find a new one

Gentlemen, today marks two weeks of not doing jack shit, a new personal record.

>>105679975

>just take some vacation days for a week
dohshit advice, that does nothing for burnout

>>105679989
holy shit bro, not going to work for a week does nothing for burnout from work?
wtf wtf wtf, and here I thought I was relaxing but I was actually still stressed I just didn't know it
do you need an all expenses paid trip to thailand brothels for a month or something to "get better"? or maybe a 3 year long leave because you got burnout for working for 6 months like some sort of retard

>>105679984
>are you people mentally deficient or what
yes

What is this guy's problem?

>>105680005
you don't even know what burnout is, retard. stop posting about things you know nothing about.

my problem is dogshit neets larping as if they got burnout from working a 9-5 office job with no overtime and that they need methamphetamine and a 6 month vacation to "recover" from feeding their 2 point tickets to Copilot

>>105680010
I know perfectly well what burnout is retard, because I had to work overtime in many projects to meet retarded deadlines and had to spend time afterwards to recover
I also know how to manage it, and it doesn't need anything special, you take time off and stop caring so much until you're in a good mood again

Fuck man, this is what I'm talking about, some of you fucks have such a huge ego it's actually ridiculous.

>>105680020
>you take time off and stop caring so much until you're in a good mood again
if this helped you, you weren't burnt out. maybe tired after prolonged overtime.
burnout is more akin to depression, and telling someone to take a week off to overcome burnout is like telling someone with depression to just take a walk and smile.

I have a great idea for a startup. Everyone hates trains, but they're the most efficient form of transport... So I propose small, agile vehicles that carry only one container at a time, utilizing the existing rail network to get around. This will eliminate the need for large centralized terminals and reduce logistics costs and we will completely disrupt the current trucking logistics industry... Who's making this with me?

it's not an ego thing dumbass, some people (you) just have a much lower standard of what counts as burnout and you're rightfully called out
how is it ego to say if you are depressed from work then take a vacation? the fuck kinda answer to you want?

>>105680048
you don't get depression from normal work, burnout happens after a prolonged period of work related stress, over multiple months
then when you get to the end and deliver what you needed to do and then immediately get another ticket is the moment most people say they're "burnt out"
this is because you're not managing expectations and your own rest time from work properly
the solution is to actually take your vacation days and not put in pointless overtime, care, or nerves into work
if your mind is still preoccupied with work during vacation then it will just exacerbate the burnout

Fuck you, hope you get an anal rupture before standup.

I accept your concession
keep complaining about work while refusing to take any responsibility for your quality of life, this thread loves that stuff

>>105679911
if you can take sick days or vacations, do that. It will help you last longer while battling this shit (though it won't fix the burnout or help the job search). Do nothing during those vacations, though.

I have this fantastic idea. It will revolutionize cryptography, security, and the internet as we know it.

Random numbers are hard to make. But what if there was a way that didn't rely on something so insecure as a computer?

My company will 3d-print a series of large (at least twelve feet per vertex) eccentric shapes with numbers scrolling up the adjacent faces. Instead of something insecure on someone else's computer, we will take these shapes and tumble them in a powerful jet column a few stories high and record what faces end up lying on the floor when they're done. This will ensure perfect randomness, suitable for all your cryptographic needs

We are going to disrupt the randomness industry. Our procedure is infinitely scalable as we add more shapes to the cluster, and it offers complete forward security as when we record the results, we can simply discard the used shapes as they reach end of life, or inventing new shapes as needed in the threatening landscape of cyber security.

>>105679955
that is not in any way what managers do in real life. Actually in my experience this is increasingly the lowly devs' work to do on behalf of managers even when it used to be that they barely ever did that at all and instead just noded every so often and called that work.

>>105680089

Thanks for some actual help. As I said before I did take one earlier but the moment I stepped back, everyone started off so panicky and bro I don't think I can handle this type of environment anymore. Trying to chill during my RTO days but I can even tell when I shift from "alright, we're swimming out here" to "fuck this shit i hope I get a heart attack right now so I can end this bullshit". Like damn my attitude shifts are way noticeable and I'm trying not to but again I have such a low tolerance now.

of course it did. don't listen to that retard. he is either trolling, larping, or actually is mentally strong enough to be immune to burnout (there are freakish cyborgs like that out there), and can't relate. generally, you can take measures to avoid burnout, but once it kicks in you're screwed.

>>105680157
i feel like every HN startup is basically that

>>105680119
Unfortunately there's not much to do in that case but figure out a totally different life arrangement for long enough for the market to recover. Can be anything from.backpacking and camping for a year to going back to your mom's basement to flipping burgers and accepting that you'll have 3 roommates for a while. In the meantime quiet quit and save up aggressively for when they fire you. With a solid plan for the next year or so you should be able to come out the other side and start applying for jobs (without the mandatory current 1000 applications to 1 interview ratio).
If you have the guts for it (unlikely in your situation) you can also use the quiet quitting time to actively look for jobs on company time. No need to hide anything in this case.
But there are no good options.

>>105680157

Does anyone else use chatGPT to get an 'objective' opinion on behaviours at work? (With the responses set to critical of course so it doesn't pander to you). It's not foolproof because I myself am biased in what information I input and how it's presented, but it's very useful.

Yeah, I do. I usually use it for a more "what to do". I usually understand why people act a certain way (usually if someone seems to be a damn hypocrite, it's because they're hedging their bets) but just turning your brain and emotional "they're fucking disrespecting me" off and just doing exactly the counterplay chatgpt gives you usually helps. I mean it's definitely better then this site.

Acshully it's a structure-driven peptide target prioritization method using spm (not prediction which is all bullshit). I already have client contacts at small and midsize biotechs who have begged for this (conditioned on lab validation of course) and a pretty good list of other interested clients I think I have high chances to convert based on the discovery calls.

>we trained a suite i got off of /lmg/ on open source pharma papers
not only was "just throw an LLM at it" already in wide use in "biotech" but they also already have dedicated models, already had modellers and generators and outright brute forcers since computers have been a thing so it doesnt really answer the "Anything you can come up with was already done" part

though on a more optimistic note, assuming you arent larping, it does answer the question of and is just another example of >>105679787 with the obvious answer of "not every market is 100% saturated and doing something others have done or are doing is FINE because there are still unserved patrons out there"

>>105680300
>techbio
>while working alone
Lmao, enjoy. Over before it even began

>>105680399
I don't know what you're trying to say in the first paragraph but
- Nobody actually uses biolm's (e.g. dna language models pLM's, or even "paper/research" llm's) because they're totally useless at everything
- The chief problem in techbio right now is all these retarded peter thiel-style "the only reason biology is slow is that biologists are dumb, we do ai so we are smart" companies out tbere keep showing rvery positive, totally overfitted data they don't understand because newsflash: bio is hard. So all these shitty models die the microsecond they make contact with the lab.
- Biologists do often ask chatgpt for guidance on what methods exist when they're coming up with new protocols or trying to optimoze existing ones. They do notice the hallucinations and have problems with that, but not being tech literqte enough, they get into lots of trouble this way
- Non-memeLM methods based on big data remain very useful in many cases. For example, steineger's structure search tools work amazing, as do methods like the MASTER algorithm, pMHC binding prediction algos like netmhcpan and mhcflurry, and more. The winner of the adaptyvbio round 2 used a similar method (though disguised as AI) and obliterated the competition that used purely memeLM tools.
But there are endless "dark zones" in the set of things that need to be done where it's not just about soing better but basically about doing anything at all because current methods might as well be random. The peptide target prioritization problem is such a case.

Also no, not a larp.

when will the unemployed jeets here stop calling everyone who disagrees with their delusions a larp or a redditor

i was talking more about the conventional modelling/generator programs that, much like mech/elec eng cad programs, now all have AI buttons because of fucking course they do (and then everyone in those fields complains that the AI is unnecessary at best or creates objectively worse work at worst)

I habe no idea what /lmg/ is but I assume it's some.GayI bullshit. Then I challenge you to try to generate (or even to get an lm to describe, let alone explain) what I have described itt.
The tools you refer to are more like docking, md, protein folding and other stuff. Yes, those tools have always been questionable at best but the AI stuff (e.g. ml potentials in md and ML based docking) suck total ass even on well characterised proteins. Alphafold does work better than pure homology based methods, but not that much better, and not well enough to be worth something. You are also right that practitioners complain about the quality (that's what I explained before, they're useless) and generally adopt an attitude that if it only exists on the computer, it doesn't exist at all.

That said, neither the spm technique I developed nor the use of steucture info anywhere in peptide target ID has ever been done. At best, people (including one of these clients begging to pay me) have been trying to in-silio screen with structure prediction and found it works worse than random. Until now.

>>105680981
In up or out companies like m$ (or in general anyway, which you would know if you had a job), you are eligible or not to be considered for promotion in any decision period (typically, but not always, yearly). Your boss should tell you if you are eligible, but that doesn't always happen. There is no application process, you get the news typically at the next performance review or in a special 1:1 depending on company.
Internal applications happen only when trying to change role, in which case it is not a promotion.

>>105681050
in most companies there isn't such a policy and the standard thing to do is to job hop; this can include applying to jobs at your own company at some of the more fart-huffing places

>>105681062
Yes, job hopping is standard and yes, most companies don't have up or out policies (though those are unrelated concepts).
But what you're talking about is an internal application e.g. at a different org, not a promotion. That the role is higher level is irrelevant.
I have never heard, read about and least of all seen a own-org application being a thing for "promotion". Although I'm sure some boomer somewhere invented this new fresh hell at some point.

>>105681088
i've heard of it being a thing in some particularly dysfunctional companies, and in the public sector you do explicitly have to apply for significant promotions that result in enough job description change that you are doing something "new"

...anon, that's not how it works. if you're not working, you're getting hounded on to find work in the company or you're at risk for lay off or fired for some arbitrary reason.

Kick in the teeth is that you're salaried. They know if you're hourly they won't make as much off of you but if you're too honest about your worked hours then you're getting fired/laid off ASAP. The whole business is built on predatory practices. Don't do consulting if it's not your own business.

gimp is free for commercial use.

>>105681902
did you sign a policy that basically says "all software will be provided by IT"? if not "I did not know it was not allowed, how should i?"
We are pretty strict about installing stuff, but we make it clear in the policy every employee signs.
But I can tell you 2 reasons behind it:
1.) Users install all kind of shit out of convenience, including questionable software that may upload company data
2.) Users don't think about licenses. Gimp is free for commercial use, but plenty of software is free for personal use only. But Joe User thinks "I use it at home! It says it is free! I want to use it at work!" and opens up the company to legal issues.

Nope. Apparently IT has the rule spelled out on page eleventy hundred three on the company intranet and just expected everyone to read it

Just like in a aalaried role, except you're still at risk of being laid off even if you have tons of work in a salaried role.
Although I'm surprised you're salaried, I talked to many contractors and outside of the company telling them to dial down their overtime hours (because they would dick around all day, start working at 5pm, and claim 100% overtime), everything was propwrly hourly with overtime. They even routinely report 8h worked when they really do 4 and such.

>>105682228
I commit myself so I cannot get away and have to deal with the procrastination.
Sign up to a certification or course that costs money. I tend to give myself a few months for a remote proctored exam (Microsoft certification, LPIC, whatever is in your lane), cram the coursework and then take the exam. the exam cost is not that high, but enough to make me want to not fail. couple of years ago I signed up for a masters course. costs me a few evenings and weekends, but I am glad I hung in there.
Trying to get anything done without force, I just melt on the couch.

I'm witnessing people who pipe the output of ChatGPT directly into docs and then present it as if they did anything. ChatGPT even confirms your delusions and gives you arguments that no thinking human would spell out. Even if nobody notices it right away, reality keeps catching up on them. Running the simplest type of container slop is too much if ChatGPT doesn't directly spell it out. These people spend 8h a day sitting in meetings, pretending to work. How are they fine living like that? They are really unwell and stressed out all the time. Thinking for 5 consecutive minutes makes them look bad, so you just adapt to their level of standard. Idk how hard I'm projecting here, but they feel like victims of something they can't perceive yet. Their fuck ups start to spill onto me. Staying away from them helps my mood and it guards me from getting backstabbed. I hope they find jesus and doodle some anime boobs behind the scenes otherwise it's depressing to see them go through uni for 3-6 years to end up collecting shit pay and failing at the most basic shit with no interest in anything. I used to see this with project managers but tech people start to act like it as well, completely mentally blank. Even the way people socialize at work is messed up, crossing boundaries and over analyzing body language and whats being said as if they are le empaths. It's like people are bots now running algorithms they saw in some tik tok short. I keep tabs on how that ai shit is used in schools and uni these days and I have no idea where this is going. Remember back in the day when people were shocked when you looked at your phone for too long or during a talk? Or when they see you be online for too long and said you had no life? All that shit is perfectly normal now.

Hourly and consultant at a small company is not a good mix. Too many reported work hours makes the company look bad to their clients.

I'm also the kind of consultant that if brought in is because the internal team either royally fucked up or can't be trusted. There was a bit of friction trying to work with them. The worst part is that I was kept away from the clients not purely to keep me away from office politics but to also keep them from poaching me. Looking back, I wish they would have poached me.

You gotta be good with your prompts, meaning how you ask the question and what context you give it
But yeah, most of the time it will be super shit, and if it's a half complex problem that requires context from several functions and files it's going to shit itself even when using cursor or whatever the fuck

A few weeks in they invited me to one of their houses to play Board Games and Mario Kart, whilst there they started talking about the sex lives of themselves and their partners who were not present. I've not been back and I keep everyone at an arms length now, at work we only speak if required/work related and honestly, I'd rather be isolated and happy than whatever the fuck this is.

Pretty much everyone with more than 10-15 yoe will tell you do something else not tech even if they make tons of money because it kills your soul and love of computers and forces you to be around horrible people and locks you into hcol do with that information what you will.

Finance has similar issues. It's desperately credentialist so you will onky get a dead end low paid job if you didn't get into say harvard. The hours are also insane (but you only work 10 years so it's not that bad).
Military means being a military cuck and (mostly) getting blown up. No bodily autonomy and you get discarded like a wet tissue when you're out even if due to an injury. Pays like shit, too, though the benfits are great... except they do everything they can to deny them I hear.

How about fireman? You do nothing 99% of the time. It's so chill you're forced to go on training fake fire situations to keep sharp because real fires are so rare.

>been getting rejection emails all month

>>105683730
Yea fireman would be a good path. Women love you too and you bro out at the fire station. Im too old to switch to that though (36). If going military at a young age you would want to try and be a pilot or special forces but generally agree almost every job sucks. The real answer is starting a boring business that makes money but it takes money to make money. I might try that if I can’t find a job. Not a tech startup but something boring and local with no investors.

we have lots of real fires here mostly because subhumans think using a gas grill on their balcony is a great idea

Need money or debt to stsrt most of thise or rent a storefront. But maybe you can do something like sell shit on rtsy or other online activities to get started and ger the starting capital? Get started on knitting me my sweaters, anon

>>105683777
I have about $1M liquid and $200k cash. The problem is figuring out a business I think will have more cash flow than what being a big tech whore pays. Im getting close to diving in though so tired of interview prep.

Yoarong Wan has it figures out. Just swap out fake diamonds from tiffany's. One a year or two does the trick.

>>105683790
Get started now. Make a business plan at least. You'll have better visibility on what you need and you'll get to do the research on what you'd like to do. Even if you'll only start in many years, being ready asap is always a good idea

>>105683574
Just smile and do some small talk. Most people are boring as fuck and just love babbling to other about inane shit and they will love you for listening.

Few things I hate more than dealing with midwit seniors.

That statement is utterly false. There's no generalized solution for anything that can't be improved.

This is fine, row row

jeets continue to be a drain on anything productive in the workforce.

it do be like that fr

Im not young and it's hurting for us, too

27 is still young, right?

the image was fake to begin with (based on data way, way below the noise floor)

>>105684653
it's getting worse. even +10yoe industry oldfags have trouble getting offers. I can't even imagine how bad it must be for new grads. bootcampers might as well end their suffering now.

>be company
>do interviews with domestic talent

Everytime

i suspect its a mixture of

1) works better with some stacks and codebases
2) some anons barely do shit and are impressed it can do minor frontend issues
3) marketer jeets spamming bullshit

in my experience its like 90% useless

>>105684653
I don't think anything has changed recently desu. I've looked for jobs in 2012, 2014, 2016-17, 2019 and 2023. The experience has been the same every time.

>>105684754
they just want cheaper talent than what is available domestically. I can't blame them - tech salaries were completely out of whack for years.
I just wonder if it means tech stocks are about to fall off the cliff soon. C-suites apparently know something is up if they are cutting this deep.

>>105684864
In truth, salaries will normalize, but they shouldn't be the low salaries being paid to Indian outsourcing. Programmers are still high in demand right now. And the supply is far less than they make it.

Pull all money from banks right now. This is your only warning.

Why hire a spoiled american when you can get a h1b for way less?

>>105684762
Most importantly. The one thing AI is good at is generating floods of low quality content, especially comments.

This modern Enron is going to come crashing down once investors realize their money was spent flooding the internet with fake grassroots simping, instead of developing the technology.

I'm incompetent

Do simple things like generate one component. Have another chat/model cross check. If it’s a part of a larger project you’re fucked though. Context window is not big enough and it will not know the entire layout of your application and apply consistent code. It might say it can, but it won’t.

how to avoid it next time if during the interviews you might not know your manager upfront before all the team matching and stuff

make his life as miserable as possible and don't give him any respect

Should I take voluntary redundancy from a job that I fucking hate? They would give me 3 months severance but I would have a 1 year runway. I’m mid level with 3 YoE. Unsure if I would make it in this market. I don’t think that the grass is so much greener anywhere else but I’m tired of this fucking job and just want a change.

>Get job 8 months ago, fully remote, pay isn't bad but not amazing, $95k
>Going well had first performance review, scored above average, manager said nearly was in the excellent category missed it by a hair
>I don't actually do shit for the most part, so its pretty funny
>Another company reached out to me today asking if I want to do the exact same shit for them, but starting is $130k and also fully remote
heh

Worth the pay jump if my current job is unbelievably comfy/easy?

so uhh, new thread?

>>105686239
I dont know how youre getting easy offers unless its just reaching out and no interview stage yet. Right now, it's very tough to get a remote job. so much competition.

>>105686346
I'm pretty niche and senior level experience. There aren't that many people that do what I do. I don't even apply, recruiters have found me for my last two jobs.

>>105686359
what exactly niche thing do you even do

>>105686412
Do your own homework.

>>105686438
>Im pretty niche
>wow, what niche thing do you do
>I dont have to say it

Wow look at mister special you with your special niche thing. Im sure anyone cares that its sooo niche

>>105686412
My job title is sr. cloud engineer, but I have experience doing numerous things that not many other people have been given the opportunity to do with the same titles, which makes my resume standout significantly. I could really be making nearly 1.5-2x what I'm making now, but I've dodged every RTO call and just job hopped and even taken some pay cuts.

>>105686467
Ive worked in dev ops as part of my engineer job, but I really should have been working in a senior cloud engineer role by now. I think my flaw is that I dont know all the fancy terms relevnt in dev ops to past interviews, despite using them on the job repeatedly. What can I do to educate myself? Any books or resources? Should I care about stuff like Azure Bus or do you use AWS?

Also, we need a new fucking tech thread

>>105686478
I run both Azure & AWS simultaneously right now. I actually do the MDM side of shit as well, although I've got that nearly fully taken care of, just an occasional call with my manager/director discussing app deployments and whatnot which I pass off to the scrubs under me now that I've automated patching apps.
I'll be honest formal education wise, I did practically nothing to get here. Its all just been pure experience, I was tossed into some very fucked up startups early in my career where I did literally everything you could imagine as an IT person, from kubernetes, to every aspect of AWS, AD, deploying the SIEM, SQL shit, etc.

I have zero certifications just a bachelors in CS and a long history of people trusting me with shit I shouldn't have been trusted with, but I made it work. I got in as a junior engineer, worked my way to senior in a single year (a few companies back) and have been coasting since. If you've worked in devops, you should be fine to transition theoretically, however I'll say I've met a LOT of people who work in devops that should never have been allowed to work in devops and are frighteningly inept, so just depends on you.

the books i've read that I like are: AWS certified solution architecture textbook and the building microservices book by sam newman

>>105686541
>however I'll say I've met a LOT of people who work in devops that should never have been allowed to work in devops and are frighteningly inept, so just depends on you.
I'm a sys admin at heart as an engineer, so I fit into AWS and Azure stuff very well. If anything, dev ops is a limitus test of if someone is computer savvy or not. Which I found out where indians absolutely sucks, which is why they arent flooding this industry at least.

Thanks I'll apply for some of those roles

>>105686554
Ah if you've got the sysadmin approach, you'll be fine, like with devops, cloud engineering is really more of an operational thing ultimately and you should have more than enough exposure/know-how to land a mid-level cloud role, possibly a senior depending on your prior experience and what you've worked with.

>Which I found out where indians absolutely sucks, which is why they arent flooding this industry at least.
Yeah they're pretty bad at operations in general I've noticed, too timid most of the time to make it really work without handholding. I've also noticed a high proportion of women in devops compared to other dev / eng roles, and they're all universally, with no exception, fucking useless. I really don't have beef with women either, I'm married, but every single woman I've met in devops has been truly useless.
