I'm tired of noy having time for myself, to solve my personal problems
I'm tired of getting up at 12 only to be bombarded with messages from my boss and the other retards who are more lazy than me.
I'm tired of knowing that if I get them to fire me I get no benefits at all
I'm tired of hearing these retards complain because I'm too slow, because I hurry too much, because I'm good, because I'm not good enough, because their boss said this or that, because our bosses boss said there is no money, because he says they will not fire people and end up firing people, because they say "no more firings!" and end up firing one of out best coworkers because of some dumb drama...
I want to get laid off. please, if any gods exist, get me fired, paid a severance package and unemployment bucks. PLEASE. I don't want to know about these retards EVER AGAIN.

From time to time I react to my manager's messages on teams groups with the clown emoji, usually at the evening and just leave it there for anyone to see. When he asks I tell him my finger slipped and I remove it.

You guys think its a bad idea to go to japan for a year and try to get a tech job?

>>105758721
>You guys think its a bad idea to go to japan for a year and try to get a tech job?
>4 years of experience
depends. what were your aspirations with the career in the first place?

It seems like there is a ton of low to mid pay work in Japan. $10k/month for engineering work doesn't really interest me all that much (I'm spoiled with over $20k), but it seems like $5-7k per month is highly available in japan. employee's market. You'd be forgoing the massive upside of USA for a while, but maybe you weren't really cracking or willing to move for the FAGMAN type stuff anyways. high high high end pay in USA is like $400-800k/yr. that's for a W2 job in big tech.

Do you speak japanese? If not, you'd probably want or need a year just to get yourself good enough at japanese. While some jobs require no japanese, more open up when you have N2+ seemingly.

I will never understand how this guy does it. He was out on sick leave for two months and a coworker didn't even know. Now he's back and nobody knows what he actually does.
Guy is like a light winter fog. He seems to be everywhere but he's absolutely irrelevant. The only difference is that fog won't take credit for your job.

>>105758849
honestly I don't know, but peruvian women in general are ugly, so if they mixed, then it's over
also, Perú is poor af so if you move there you will live like a king if you have savings. if not, you will die in misery kek

Am I gonna get fired?

>>105760279

Am I NOT gonna get fired?
:(

I just straight up lied and said milestone 1 of my feature is done. It’s not done. I have some code written by ChatGPT on my laptop that doesn’t work. The thing is the people reviewing my progress updates don’t understand jack shit if it doesn’t come in the form of a multi-colored bar chart so they’ll literally just take my word for it and I won’t get fired. Only once the whole project is done will I not be able to lie any longer because the finished product has a UI. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Left my MSP job a few years ago and now I'm a sysad but I kind of want to go back. Sitting in a cubicle all day working on projects, every single task by my team is always done late because we are given unrealistic deadlines. Hardware is many years out of date and we aren't given the budget to buy new hardware but half the company is complaining how slow everything is but we can't optimize anymore. We literally have hard drives in prod over 10 years old in a RAID5. Every week I hear about how the company is doing badly.
I kind of want to just go back to fixing stuff and traveling around and talking to people. I haven't talked to a woman outside my office in 2 years. I just work and go home.
I don't want to do complex intangible tasks that don't help anyone. I want to plug cables in and open computers up and help people.

does anyone have any experience using something like selenium webdriver to clock in and out of a timesheet website? how fucked might I be if I get caught automating my timecard, legally speaking, considering I'm in the US?

>>105760713
I'm salaried and still have to clock in and out everyday because apparently someone was abusing the system by taking time off and not reporting it in ADP so they punish everyone in the company

>>105760574
right. you can pretty much lie up until whatever you said you were doing is verifieable. then you either catch up on delivering or the whole thing blows up in your face. many such cases lol

>>105760724
but are you getting paid by the hour?

>>105760713
What happens if you say you worked a full 8 hours, but in fact, didn't
I don't think automating the timecard entry is the challenge here, the trick is how to avoid anyone questioning the numbers you entered

>>105760748
no I get paid the same amount no matter what
If I work under 40 (never happens) I get yelled at
I often work over 40

I'm realizing that this July is going to really suck. I'm up to my eyeballs in work, I've gotta get some certs, need to get back into leetcode, need to study system design, and I need to polish and deploy my projects on AWS.
Looks like no-fun July is about to start.

grr I hate you so much

>tfw productive in the only projects I cared about and took a walk

>>105760812
why? there's no jobs right now anyways
just chill at your current job and take it easy

>>105760812
If you're up to your eyeballs in work, why bother doing the leetcode? Sounds to me like you already have a job.

If your job isn't in tech, then I understand where you're coming from.

>>105760925
>why bother doing the leetcode? Sounds to me like you already have a job.
Writing APIs != solving DS&A technical interview problems.
My brain must be running on empty or something because I struggled to solve today's daily leetcode easy (which was probably in blind/grind 75 because it says that I had already solved it back in 2023)

>>105760812
What system design is there other than "make a small example, note the moving parts and edge cases, then build invariants"?

So...I should tell them I got this and give it back right? It's 800+ bucks.

>>105761088

Many people usually get laid off during mergers and acquisitions.

>>105758821
>acquired by private equity and a distant competitor
which one is it? are you getting split up?
either way you're fucked
private equity will sell everything that isn't generating value in the short term and bring employes down to skeleton crew
competitor will fire everyone with overlapping roles or just straight up shut down the business in the near future
if your work is offering benefits to leave, heavily consider taking it

>>105760978
>"make a small example, note the moving parts and edge cases, then build invariants"
What the fuck does this even mean you absolute monkey. You clearly don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about or else you wouldn't respond with such a simplistic take. How about design a real-time, collaborative document editing system like Google Docs. Or how about design a system for deploying updated firmware to pressure sensors in oil drilling platforms all around the world. Oh yeah, just make a small example and note the moving parts and edge cases, then build the invariants. Simple. Fucking Dunning-Kruger retard

How do I work myself to death, preferably in Europe?
>Death by work sounds too good to be true desu.
>Work so good you get rewarded.

Over the past couple of months I've kind of boxed myself into a corner because, completely devoid of things I wanted to talk about with my manager when it comes to "goals", I mentioned SQL as a growth area and the conversation eventually steered into her suggesting I take the 1Z0-71 Oracle exam
I've studied up for the exam but the more I learn about it the more I realized how retarded I was to follow along with her suggestion. This shit is hard in the worst way. Weird little pitfall/trick questions that assumes you're going to be doing dev work without an internet connection, zero testing of fundamentals, just memorization. This shit also costs $250 per attempt. It feels like a waste of money and effort even if I passed on the first try.
Is having this under my name even remotely useful? Too late for me to weasel out atp but since I'm a junior I'm coping it would somehow be worthwhile if I get laid off (lol)

>t. was in the same situation as you a few times, I just got another job and quit

I just got a job
And it isn't tech related
(It isn't a dream job either though)
I can't believe finally I achieved freedom

7 rounds of interviews, 6 of which turned out to be a technical interview. I'm glad I got the job but the amount effort was not worth it

I just got a job offer of 30 an hour doing desktop IT. Not too shabby for someone with only a high school diploma and 0 certs. I was on this thread 2 weeks ago talking about the idea of laminating my resume like an autist. I didn't bother even taking my resume in and I'm glad I didn't. The manager thought I was a superstar and had it on hand.

During the interviews I mentioned how much I use Linux for my servers, and they brought up that their company prefers hiring internally and they were planning on migrating to Linux in the future. I'm quite cheesed with what I was able to accomplish, this job might have me set. As much as I hate Reddit, the /r/resumes wiki helped me a ton. Good luck out there anon!

>>105757843 (OP)

past tense or present tense when talking about something we built on our resume?
ie
built x which did y
or

do you guys have any advice for getting hired? where do i even look for jobs? linkedin is doing nothing for me. industry specific sites also dog shit. im not a bad hire, just seems like there's too much noise now to speak to a real person.

>>105762427
what race and gender are you?

>>105762427
its just pure luck anon. I got my current job through a literal who job portal. My advice is quality over quantity. Apply wherever but make sure that you only apply where only you'd be the best fit. mass applying at generalist positions does nothing

>>105762452
if its pure luck doesn't mass applying give the best chance of finding a gem?

>>105762458
no, you just waste your time and effort doing that. Applying at hyper specific roles increases your chances and helps you fine tune your resume. Its getting a call back that hinges on pure luck, because that part isn't in your hands

>>105762451
white, male, guess i am screwed for not being a women or yeah...

>>105762452
i think you're right. requires so much effort though. lets hope.

>>105762427
>just seems like there's too much noise now to speak to a real person.
Because there is. Every tech job is fucking swamped with applicants (even ignoring indians who exacerbate the problem). From what I can gather unless you have a really good resume your only real chance is knowing a guy. Two hiring managers spoke about it in /utwg/, both said they basically end up filtering to the top applicants in different ways (one auto-filters via constraints, the other manually sorts them) so unless you're potentially a top applicant (not necessarily the top, just near it) it's likely a waste of time. You should probably still try because you don't know what the current applicant pool is like, but don't get your hopes up unless you're highly skilled. But all that said, people both here and /utwg/ have talked about how they are the highly skilled unicorn that perfectly meets requirements and still struggle to get callbacks.

he had some retarded chess game he wanted me to develop and couldnt understand that it could be cheated. he expected me to have looked through the entire github and installed the shitware before even signing a contract. id already done work prior to that reading through the idea, checking out some ideas in the code and so on, yet he was still rude because i didnt install the shitware too before critiquing.

i assume the entire thing was done with AI and now he "just needed a dev to do the finishing touches" for it to be done. which included sorting through the entire spaghetti project then getting payments working.

i told him i wasnt willing to go any further without a contract so i assume he was looking for free work or trying to hack someone. another person wanted me to put together an entire fucking project plan before we even had the first call. i told him essentially... well... such and such thats interesting but i dont work for free, best of luck.

man fuck these cunts. preying on people desperate and needing work. when enough people in tech have lost the plot we're going to get a new and very powerful hacking group.

Eurobros, I just graduated in CS and wanna immigrate to the EU from Australia. Is the best pathway to do a masters degree there and look for a job over there, or would I be better off getting experience here and trying to immigrate after a year or two? I got really good grades and some awards, so I don't think it'd be super difficult to get accepted for a masters, but idk if it'd be worth the time and money.

Trump came out behind Musk after his Christmas jeet rant, what the fuck are you on about? Trump even said he uses H1Bs for his hotels and resorts.
Trump doesn't give a SHIT about immigration.

>>105766746
That orange nigger can't even build a wall between America and Mexico.

>>105766772

Now you are saying obviously false things, what's the point? If you want people to take you seriously you can't just bleat on like an MSNBC zogbot

>>105766783
>obviously false
A fence is not a wall. Let alone a shitty fence that's been cut through already, that has famously had fucking indians walking through.
>MSNBC zogbot
Trump is literally bombing israel's enemies and is currently at this second resupplying their spent munitions as fast as possible. You are on the side of zog, not me.

>>105766836

imagine thinking trump was gonna do snything different after his 2016 four years of nothing

spoiler dumbass: politics are complete theater for retards. the only difference you will ever make voting is whether pornography can be shown to children in school, and which dude runs the water district. thats the responsibility you, the democratic citizen is allowed

Most of that's local anyway.

In my experience they don't really give a shit about portfolio unless you happen to be doing for free exactly what they're working on for money.

What matters is mostly YoE and what technologies you have professional experience with.

>>105766618
God have mercy on your soul. Use vulkan.hpp or something else like wgpu inbetween to make your life ok.
The pure C API is very annoying to work with.

umm… /twg/sisters…

>>105767297
Uh... surely with a couple years of experience the exact technology doesn't matter right? Haha....

>>105766436
i agree that hr roasts and c-suites are rentitled retards who expect every worker they hire to have nothing in life except for working for the company and to have been working with the company's toools before getting hired somehow

but that doesnt excuse phoneposting

What's with the obession of having x yoe with literally every library/framework? Isn't the ability to learn things as needed a major skill for this job?
From all the interviews I had only one guy thought like that. He made me a lot of JS questions then offered me a position to work with Vue, which I had exactly zero experience.

>>105767818
Because there are enough applicants that they can narrow it down that much and still find people.

>>105767818
middle managers and hr roasts are incapable of basic thought, let alone empathy or memory, so they don't realize that the average new hire might not have 200 years experience in their office and get upset when precious company resources have to be wasted on things like "training"

unironically lately the only interviews ive been getting are at defense contractors but only the ones where I explicitly say "I have used AND MAINTAINED your products before"

>>105757843 (OP)
Those oooold Garfield comics represented the good old days when women were switching to career barrenness, but the jeets and spics and chinks had not flooded illegally and legally by the millions and millions and millions, and so the process was to choose a career path - it was assumed you could always grab that bottom rung, because if you weren't a retard you could always get botton level management jobs.

Is there any chance tech will go back to being nerdy? I don't feel well with all the normies, even in here in twg. Where am I supposed to go?

Become a commercial pilot once I save enough before 40's?
Architecture? Medical field? (That one feels immoral).

>>105768499
Why do retarded code monkey techbros think they can just pivot to actual white collar fields instantly? What gives techbros so much USI that they think passing a code bootcamp makes them qualified to be a doctor, architect, or pilot?

>>105768499
Pilot is the only one remotely viable. Architecture takes tons of school for shit pay and terrible prospects. Medical also takes a shitload of school and is incredibly selective (no white men allowed) they're not going to waste their time on some old fuck.
Best bet is to try and become some generic mid level government bureaucrat. Maybe see about becoming a cop or something, that's also viable.

>>105768538
The fact that I'm not a techbro, and not a retarded code monkey after a bootcamp.

Stupid vermin like you are the reason for me wanting to leave.

>>105768591
I actually got pre-architecture education, I did as a hobby. And education is free. I have mild predisposition for spatial tasks, like most real nerds have extra skills like music or something.

>>105768499
>Is there any chance tech will go back to being nerdy?
it is, on the right teams.
Did you leetcode into a academic-leaning company or do you work jobs in a different tier?

>>105768669
>Did you leetcode into a academic-leaning company or do you work jobs in a different tier?
I started before "coders" were a thing, everyone was a programmer or it, without focus on current narrow roles.
This will not come back, but normies could start leaving.

>nobody has business requirements, just get it done
>no PM so I guess we're the PM but not really. been in a bunch of different projects too and one PM didn't really do nothing except book meetings in which the stakeholders are all throwing sticks and stones at each other and another PM that just made an excel tracksheet and any stakeholder can just write requirements and I guess we're going to have to figure out the solution
>been learning some programming on the side and I have a few scripts to solve some big issues with the team but honestly end users are way too bitchy that they'll probably complain I've automated some of their tasks, my boss still can't fucking tell me if I can add the feature in because he keeps twiddling his thumbs (apparently in our contract, there's a limit on API calls and I need that limit to figure out my solution for my shit), and if I do hypothetically introduce this to him, he'll scope creep the fuck outta it because fuck you. I wouldn't even know how to deal with the IT layer because I'm only starting to realize that everyone in this company is doing no code solutions and our actual no code developers are jeets and kinda dumb.
what the fuck do I do?! on one hand it's some big vague projects that I don't know if I should prioritize since his priority list fucking shifts every hour and sometimes his random jestings just disappear, on the other hand, it's fucking NOTHING but stare at my laptop monitor. FUCK!

Any good AI interview cheating software that don't show on screen sharing.
I don't like LC type interview rounds since I don't use it for my job.

Yes I know it's for filtering out retards.

nobody said that faggot
I can see you clearly have neither

General question that I hope anyone can ask but how do you keep your fucking cool during RTO? I'm already sperging out working from home, but RTO my body languages definitely pops out when something pisses me off. I try to dial it back but it just makes me sound distant and tired (which I am). At best cases, I'll daydream but then I'll be unfocused and snap out of it and go "uh sorry what were we talking about"

>>105769230

I hope you get fired.

>>105769261
Fucking retard. Just say hi at the morning, put some big ass headphones and pretend you're busy or in call. Most people won't bother you unless they need something important.

omg im so anxious ....... i have to go to work....... and talk to ppl...... why do normies do this to me??

is it schizo hours?

>>105769230
Because when I actively try to hide my autistic insanity I just come across as awkward which isn't that unusual in tech. Plus I am not a manlet so being awkward isn't considered creepy.

>>105768723

doesn't really answer my question, but I understand your gripe. the profession is too "defined", overly specced and in some cases micromanaged.

I'd much prefer to be put on a salary and have a lot of leeway to self organize the project and its resources how i choose, with other intelligent people

>>105769510
I'm 400 pages in, doing every exercise of each chapter and grading myself like it's a game.
It's still tough.

Wow anon, you sure showed us. I guess social anxiety in the face of RTO is a real issue.

Wow anon the real problem is pooping caused by the poopers like the so called jeets

what?! i thought it's the white people that are pooping?

no the truth is all people poop!

i poop? you poop?

>not talking about tech
>not being funny
>not even engaging with the people who reply to him
>just saying poop over and over again
I'm imagining this retard slapping his thighs together and laughing to himself every time someone acknowledges him. I hope he gets well soon.

what's your favorite pooping tech?

my favorite pooping tech is tech

Everything your coworkers put you through makes a lot more sense when you look through the lens that they are failed normalfags. The endless meetings and yapping they subject you to is merely because they have zero outlet or capability to socialize outside of work. The status of being respected as a mentor or friend is replaced with the hollow platitude of being a productive cog

my favorite uncogging is when i uncog pooping
