How can I get a job where my team will not be jeets? That is all I care about at this point. How can I filter them out?

>internal company hackathon AKA invite CISO to crawl up your ass
Nahhhhhhhhhhhh!

>>105799749
Just be a white woman

Reposting the question:

What's the best time to ask for a promotion? In terms of tenure, assuming you've been overperforming but there's been no drastic change in responsibilities

>>105799692
>when you have a competing offer otherwise there's no point
Why not? At my company people regularly get promotions

Imagine being such a braindead american that you count employer tax as a tax paid by the employee but only in europe and not in the us, and use this figure based on gross employment income ehich by definition already accounts from that from the raw employer disbursement.
Even 5 year olds in europe can do math better than that. Explain yourselves, amerilards.

>>105799764
Bad larp. Nobody does promotions in 2025.

>>105799784
Guess my company is stuck in the past then
Retard when will you realize that a recession doesn't automatically mean every single company stops growing?

>>105799749
Go to yurop (not uk or gerfaggy)

What's the best way to ask to be laid off?

>>105799798
>get called out
>cry like a fag
larp better next time lil bro

>>105799725 (OP)
>GET OUT OF TECH
I'm literally not good at anything else. I have no talents at all. I'm not creative. I have terrible social skills. I'm not good at business or investing. I'm terrible at math (beyond the bare minimum needed to be a coder). I could do basic physical labor, but nothing involving precise movements (I have terrible fine motor control). I can't do anything high stress since I panic all the time. If I have to stop programming, I'm completely worthless

>>105799830
tech is the 4th highest-stress career retard

>>105799850
Oh no, that kind of stress is fine. I just don't care enough. I mean like... I couldn't operate one of those construction site cranes because I'd be constantly worried about killing everyone by accident.

>>105799816
Fine, assume it's a larp and the question is theoretical. Now can you even answer it?

What the fuck did you just say about AI replacement you CEO bitch? I'll will have you know if your ambition goes only so far to see AI as substitute for humans to do the same unit of work instead of aiming for the stars and conquering new markets you are no visionary and failed as a leader. You think you can get away with pacifying shareholders with mass layoffs across the board? Think again fucker. As we speak there are people not obsessing over the next quarterly earnings call but busy building superior experiences and raising the bar which will undercut your margins big time. Your entire business model is being targeted for disruption right now so you better prepare for the paradigm shift, maggot. The storm that wipes out your pathetic little thing you call your market share. You are a living fossil, kid. These people can code circles around your army of jeets just with access to the relevant RFCs. They are more than capable to utilize the best in class language models to their full extent. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” cost-saving measure was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't and now you are going to be outcompeted, you absolute clown. AI will shit all over your technical moat and your product will drown. You are fucking deprecated, kiddo

in 2022 I made 6 figures a year. Now I have not had a job for year and a half.

Tell me how awesome AI is

>1.5 years in
>a few more responsibilities than when I started
>Always overperforming
Should I ask for a promotion?

>>105799725 (OP)
Quick! Everyone into accounting so it can be saturated too!

>>105799944
It's not AI, it's outsourcing.

>finally weekend
>i am beyond tired barely able to lift a finger
>next week will be worse somehow
at least i have a job...

>>105799749
Military projects. It doesn't completely eliminate the possibility since some of them are citizens or have green cards, but since it filters out all the visa holders and those who can't pass a background check, the odds of them being around are far lower.

You guys are fucking slow. Back in late 2024 I was in a meeting with directors where they announced that most workforce would get a digital twin (AI slop). So I left and now I'm in comfy IT audit job where it's required human approval for every shit due to regulatory laws.

>>105800066
Really just depends - if you haven’t gotten a raise in a year and a half, I would definitely propose one. That being said, it all depends on the size of your company and how they handle raises.

Just learn as much as you can; it’s how to stay in this field long term. Dumbasses lose their jobs because they get an entry or mid level software engineering position in one language and try to do that for the rest of their life. They never learn backend, additional languages, frontend, dev ops, cloud infrastructure, etc. These jobs always have people who are willing to hand their responsibilities to others so they don’t have to work, and it’s a ripe opportunity to learn something new. After a couple of years, you’ll literally be indispensable and able to easily get a new job if you desire.

>>105800066
>>Always overperforming
>Should I ask for a promotion?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
why the fuck would they promote you if you are a good worker? they might depend on you to stay "overperforming"...

>another cycle done

>>105800290
bocchi the reddit

>>105800302
anon the parrot

>>105800210
>why the fuck would they promote you if you are a good worker?
Because they know I'll switch to a better company if they don't promote me at some point. At least they'd be retarded not to deduce that considering a) that's how I joined them and b) I'm talented enough to find another opportunity.

>>105800066
i felt i was under paid three years in and asked for a meeting to discuss salary. they said sure, then i got laid off before any meeting took place kek. been unempleyed for a year now. just look for another job and leave.

>>105800338
Secondary reasons are also
C) I'm very young and fairly early into my career
D) while I'm ab expert in the area I'm currently working in I'm fullstsck so I'm not trapped at that job

Is this basically what happened to software engineering too?

>>105800338
>Because they know I'll switch to a better company
In this climate?.

>>105799865
crane ops is like bottom of the list in terms of stress. You don't know shit retard

>>105800375
Nearly 500 million jeets have gone online since this graph was made.

>>105800377
In my country and specific area the job market is fine
In fact it's more than fine which is why gigacorpos are seething nonstop about workers not working enough and not enough immigrants being brought in

>>105800338
this isn't 1975 dumb jobless retard

>>105799865
It's ok, half of them are probably crack addicts anyway and if you're in America 90% of them are beaners.

I’m gonna be in this company for a year now. First tech job, pays shit but people are cool. Like every start up, the tier 1 is actually tier 2 work and my tier 3 usually deals with major network infrastructures. Sometimes even dealing with critical infrastructure. My last two reviews were good, they even asked me if I wanted to move into QA since that’s my collateral duty or our tier 2 team. I’m simply not interested in, I rather get paid hourly than salary and also have time at home to study and fuck my wife. Currently got Sec+ (employer paid for) and working towards CySA and CISSP. Work with Ubuntu, cctv networks, and high level security shit. Not clearance and I smoke weed regularly. What should I do bros? I don’t want to get pigeon hole, market is grim as fuck but I want to transition to something different. Word on the street they’re opening a SOC position. I want to hop on that. In the meantime, I’m just reading CySA material and taking CISSP courses.

>>105800405
For shits and giggles i may consider going to an Ivy League mba program. Fuck it

>>105800396
Why is it so unbelievable to some retards ITT that some people are competent?

>>105800455
Because competence doesn't get you the interview unless you have a god tier resume or have very solid connections.

>>105800338
this is why >>105799764 was told to have a competing offer in hand, just in case

Starting Monday, I’ll be doing interviews... I’m scared, bros.
What if I reject a schizo who ends up hunting me down?

>>105800494
>Because competence doesn't get you the interview unless you have a god tier resume
I unironically have bare minimum social skills but I have a god tier degree and I guess I'm really good at interviews.

>>105800655
The social skills and interview skills are good if you get the interview, you need to get the interview first.

>>105800631
Just don't be a bitch or rude and give constructive feedback if requested.

>>105800631
Auto-reject jeets.

>>105800687
I was told by HR that I was not allowed to give any feedback because last year there was a fresh grad with no experience that was told we didn't hire him because he lacked experience and he spent almost 6 months spamming their inboxes with insults and threats, so we just sent the basic "Your skills are impressive but there were other candidates that aligned more with what we were looking for"

At least we wont ghost you.

>>105800718
Your HR sounds retarded. No wonder you get these schizos.

>>105800745
If I was a fresh out of college with a cs degree and no internships I would go insane too to be fair.

What is going on in here? Every single post is trying to convince me tech work is bad.

>>105800780
because it is? it's boring and tedious af if you don't enjoy the actual work, solving technical problems and stuff. everything else, incl. the "social" parts, are shit.

>>105800780
if you actually had a job in tech you would know how bad things really are

>>105800788
>>105800815
My past job was like that, my current job isn't
So it highly depends on the job

>>105800815
If you work at some trash consulting firm then sure but most of you sound like NEETS

>>105800455
because some people have jobs and thus can't be so easily tricked by middle schoolers like yourself.

>>105800576
even competing offers do nothing. For like 2 decades they just automatically write you off if you pull that shit, sometimes they fire you depending on company policies (but rarer because they usually have to pay severance then)

>>105800833
just wait a bit more until C-suites get creative and change your role, start demanding more responsibilities, force you to do shit you don't want to, fire competent people, deny you a promotion/raise, etc.

>>105800655
t. pajeet

>>105800788
there is no solving shit in modern tech work is more like it.

>>105799749
start your own biz and filter them hard
join some open sores project where you can check the maintainers

>>105800872
next-level projections right here

>>105800938
I mean, that's part of the scam that is the tech industry. but as long as we can have some fun and make some good money without being interrupted, it's all good.

>>105800939
joining open sores does nothing but yes to starting your own business. Much harder than ever though and basically impoasible to do consulting anymore.

>>105800922
Physically impossible. Fire me? Sure
Anything else? Nope

>>105800967
Oh my sweet summer child

>>105800977
Look anon I'm not a retard. I know which directions they can push me in, I see what other roles exist at the company. I'm highly specialised so the only thing they can push on me is management responsibility and that's about it and there it's easy to argue for more

>>105800967
if you aren't LARPing, consider yourself lucky.
don't forget that things and people change, and also don't forget the
>etc.
though :^)

>>105800338
empty threats, unless you have an OFFER
in which case you are supposed to tell them you have an OFFER but like working for your current masters if they can match it. And you will receive a counteroffer in the range of 90-95% of the competing offer. It is all so tiresome

>>105800631
let everyone pass and you will be the kid spared by timmy. For real, what's in it for you to reject someone? Do you have stake in the company? No? Then you should hire the bottom of the barrel so your own work gets valued more. Depending on your attitude it also means rejecting smart ones if you really want to jobmax. Anyway >>105800712 is a given

>>105801010
When you already have an offer it's already pointless, since they'll promptly fire you asap after discovering your disloyalty

>>105800966
depends on if it is funded or not
starting a biz should be easier than ever, everyone is playing safe and AI supposed to crank out slop much quicker + talent is abundant. I would say it is a golden era.

>>105800375
ugh

>>105801045
>easier than ever
>everyone playing it safe
How retarded are you

>>105799749
There's two places where you barely see jeets: small engineering shops, or defense cause they cannot get clearances. Alternatively, in any black or white owned town.

I might not have a job this time next week and I'm not sure if I'm feeling relieved or anxious.

all i do is migrate old code
30k line codebase still stuck in python 2.7/django 1 needs upgrading to the latest
It's so boring and lame
I'm not getting better at anything
I'm not creating things
I'm going to kill myself

>>105801089
you can literally vibe a nontrivial startup over a weekend solo, what's your excuse?

>>105801149
The most fun I've had at work was upgrading old Django code. It was like a series of small little puzzles and the end result was that we could actually keep developing shit without constantly being roadblocked by our decrepit stack.

and then during testing some faggot finds that the new zipfiles containing excelsheets weight like twice as much going from 200kb to 400kbs and we can't have that please fix it LIKE WHO CARES FAGGOT

And then? Making some MVP is the easy part but of course you'd know that if you actually had experience retard

>>105801215
Oh I forgot the part about migrating the old database that's stuck with old decrepit unsafe encryption that nothing supports so i've to write a script to decrypt it and then encrypt it again and these runs take forever cause it's a large ass database full of fucking everything type of data and languages and symbols and THIS ONE BIT DIDN'T DECRYPT PROPERLY GOTTA RUN IT AGAIN HAHA

>>105800990
Oh my sweet clinically retarded summer cbild

>>105801010
have you actually ever received a counter offer? I haven't. They just don't care.

>>105801045
ai is a meme and the market is more saturated than ever. Companies are currently in austerity mode and not ok with paying for a startup's software. As mentioned services aren't a thing anymore.

What if this is just my life now

>>105801446
Does it pay well?

>>105800094
AI is actually doing insourcing. they dont need workers anymore.

I'm done with consulting. I can't take it anymore. I'd rather a comfy job where I don't end the week wanting to kill myself even if it pays for shit

>>105801410
You have deep seated and serious mental issues. Seek help.

>>105801446
need experience for entry level roles

>>105801581
Only pajeets get any use out of ai. For anyone else it's a strong productivity reduction.

>>105801410
>doesn't understand the point of having a competing offer
There is no point my little babby.
Let us play through that scenario:
>you work at company a
>you jobsearch and get lucrative offer from company b
>you go to company a and say "guys I've got an offer with so and so money, can you match it?"
HERES WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NOW, TWO OPTIONS:
Option A
>"sorry anon, can't do"
Easy enough, you switch to the other company
option b
>"sure anon! Here you go"
>you keep working at company a
>in the background, you get marked as a "flight risk" while the company starts frantically searching for your replacement
>you get fired the second they do, which is usually just a few months later
>"wtf how did this happen"
>you're now jobless with no backup

TLDR: except in very rare scenarios, the heckin strategerino with muh counteroffer ALWAYS backfires, so there's literally no point. Just look for a different job and accept that.

>>105801720
Jobs also make you want to kill yourself.

>>105801446
The jobs near me for PLC require you to work in a power or chemical plant
Which means no comfy office and you have to work shifts and possibly get called in after hours

>>105801329
multiple times but only took it once. Once you put in the effort to interview elsewhere you are over the biggest hurdle. Resentment already built up and probably demotivated af.
Not surprisingly after the initial honeymoon the next job will be your old job, rinse and repeat. Hence the saying ABL even if everything looking good at the moment

narcissists are a burden. if she wants to treat someone like shit, she should have found some submissive sucker and married him decades ago.

you are fucking retarded if you think you HAVE to do it like this lmao

>>"sorry anon, can't do"
>Easy enough, you switch to the other company
... and make more money. that's the whole point of asking for a raise.

>>in the background, you get marked as a "flight risk" while the company starts frantically searching for your replacement
>>you get fired the second they do, which is usually just a few months later
you are paranoid and stupid af kek

>the heckin strategerino with muh counteroffer ALWAYS backfires
you got an offer from b and a said no, you move to b and make more money there. you already won.

>>105802047
I don't care about how much brain damage your mom gave you. Leave. You don't belong in a tech thread.

>>105802047
>you move to b

>>105802024
Project harder please

Tech isn't fun anymore.

When I got into it nobody was in the field. People used to say CS is inferior to engineering. Most people thought it was some weird nerd BS.

Now every idiot is in tech, everyone I went to high school with that had non CS degrees is now a project manager or product manager or something. Not to mention its flooded with Jeets. I hate it.

What is some obscure field I can go into instead of tech, that has a similar vibe to tech 20 years ago?

no, I don't need any of that shit in my area. I jump to another job and start doing my job right away, have fun and talk to my coworkers if I need to.
idgaf about "proving my worth" because my actions (and work) speak louder than whatever crap I could tell them to convince them I'm good at what I do.
idgaf about the company either. I just do my job. at most I'll read some policies and call it a day. I'm a worker, not a brainwashed slave

Laid off with nice severance lots if savings. LinkedIn is strong got 7 interviews with top tier companies without applying. Former Fagman. Failed 6. Find out about 7 Monday. Career is either over or back on track. Strongest interview performance of all time for me. Don’t know if I will recover if its a rejection. Might be done with tech. 36. Please Palmer save me.

I do not mind learning for work on weekends, but I ran out of "easy" projects for whenever I'm expected to learn yet another sp language to fix some ancient issue. How do I practice onmy own?

I have been working for half a decade in the industry now. I have never once encountered a need to use a linked list or seen someone actually using one. Are they just a meme structure used to make retarded interviews?

I use them all the time, but I don't have to implement them instead of just using some standard libraries, that would be retarded.

the fact that people in post soviet shitholes get paid significantly more than me is very demoralizing.

>>105806140
You can work for east yuro companies remotely. Most companies here are outsourcing agencies without products of their own and they just employ developers for some foreign companies. I work for one of those and there are plenty people who work B2B with the agency. So essentially you'd be working B2B2B.
And also since the client is foreign and the agency itself doesn't give a flying fuck, you can work fully remote from wherever the fuck you want if you can handle the timezone shift.

Just finished my CCNA exam and I'm not sure where to go from here. My current job is a shitty helpdesk position that while it pays well is a complete dead end. What certifications should I look into next if I want to continue down the route of network engineer or branch to cyber security?

I'd kind of like to work remote, but as I understand it that era has passed. What are the odds of finding a job, even a part time one, in networking/cyber security?

>>105801952
I've never had a counter offer, but a lot of it is because I've always applied for a bigger role. When may pay has gone up 50-60% for jumping ship, it's always a "that's great anon, good for you for following your dreams!"

My biggest complaint about company structure is when a position does open, they will only hire in house if you screw yourself. I applied for a system admin position at my old job after working there four years, they offered me $10k extra on my $40k/year salary when I knew the guy who came before was making over $100k. I was so disgusted I told them outright that the offer wasn't even close to what previous/current employees made. I started applying elsewhere and left three months later.

I only know one guy who ever moved from a low end position to a higher end one at a company and actually got a reasonable salary increase, and it was because he was a personal friend of the IT director for the company.

>>105802047
Not him, but in my younger days, I got suspiciously fired from a job after my supervisor received a call from a company I had applied to (Even though I specifically told them on my application not to contact the current company I worked for). I was told I was under performing and that the company had decided to close my position, despite excellent performance reviews up until then.

It may not be like this at every job, but the threat is real and you have to treat it as such unless you're not an "at will" employee.

Anyone ever negotiated a severance package?

Now that Daddy Trump passed the Big Beautiful Bill, are we finally gonna fix the industry?

>>105802922

The OBBBA has some stuff about R&D tax deductions that is beneficial to American tech workers, since companies can deduct their salary payments better.

>>105807546
Well yeah, but it's the law right now, so if you're American, make us of the one good thing about it.

>>105806825
Its your time to specialize.
Cybersecurity/Hacking(separate jobs)
Networking(CCNP SP or Enterprise)
program management(scrum, PMP, MBA/Masters)
general manager(masters degree required)
VOIP/AV(barely any certs but you can get hired with CCNA)
Devops(programming required)
Database(programming/degree)
Server(linux certs redhat is gold but homelabs are king)

Many many more jobs out there but with your CCNA you should shoot your shot and try to 2x or 3x your current pay.

>>105806956
Americans keep complaining about jeets, but now that ICE has become probably the fifth strongest army in the world, you can just get a comfy job ejecting spics out of the country.

>web dev

I need to pivot away from this shit asap but everyone has the same idea.

>>105807787
It means blue collar jobs and future factory jobs will open with americans working it. Hopefully and this is a long shot hope we see rental/housing prices drop to make up for not so great pay growth that we have seen during this funny money printing. The military got a bump of a couple hundred billion so there going to be buying equipment and restocking heavily.

Hope for the best but expect the worst.

>>105807789
System's programming has the same issues with jeets and oversaturation. AppDev is dead and webdevs are expected to also maintain apps for iOS and Android.

>>105807787
This will hugely affect devs employed at Taco Bell.

>>105807763
I'm on my way to a masters in Computer Information Systems with a Cyber Security specialization, but that's more a placeholder than anything. Someone made a good argument to me that a degree doesn't expire and need to be renewed like a cert, so I figured it makes a great fallback if nothing else.

What should I look at if I want to branch into hacking? Pen testing was always an interest to me but when I first started working in IT in the mid 2000s, I always passed up anything like that because I assumed wanting to be hackerman was just a meme.

>>105807802
What it means is more domestic migration to the border of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California but no new factories.

>>105807836
Hackerman has a shit ton of certs. Finish your degree after your Masters degree then it no longer matters anymore.

certs matter more once your done. You will have to train with alot of labs to even do some of the higher end ones.

>>105807802
>jobs and future factory jobs will open with americans working it
You mean africans will be imported to work those jobs.
Remember the "they eat the cats" meme about Haitians in Springfield Ohio? That was the same deal, non-Whites were brought in (legally) because a factory wanted cheap labour.

>>105807855
That is indeed a shit ton of certs, but it does give me an idea what to look through. My supervisor has a CISSP certification, I thought about just going for that too so I could at least match him.

Any idea how difficult some of the lower level penetration testing certs are? I guess I could start with the CompTIA PenTest+ cert on a slower semester. The only thing good about my job right now is that it's piss easy, I regularly have 8 or more hours on the clock to blow off how I want, and while I got lazy for the last couple of years I've been hitting my education hard since February since I had an epiphany that I would be stuck in this place forever unless I got back to school.

>>105807934
Btw don't make the mistakes of getting too many certs as otherwise employers will get unnecessarily suspicious. 5 or less.

>>105807968
Ah, good point. It's probably a good idea to make it not look like I'm padding my resume.

>>105807978
Same anon as the cert poster. Yeah i agree with the other guy. Its not pokemon collecting them all can hurt you and its a huge pain to maintain them at the same time. What you need is primary certs which is your specialization and at most secondary certs if you want to be a bonified engineer(which also requires masters degree)

For me I want to build data centers as a engineer so my ball park estimation is server related certifications, networking, training on how to program and general lab experience. It may not be a perfect pigeon hole for that job but generally that would be the main reason why you would want to get extra certs.

>>105799865

>>105806919
there are MANY reports of such experiences as well, and other shit like recruiters sending your resume to your employer and the likes, so it sounds rather common overall

I want to learn TypeScript and testing, maybe a bit of Python, and also spice it up with AI to put it on my resume.

I work in industrial automation. Pay is lower than "real software", support travel is required and hours are long. Stack is fucking archaic and all HMI code I've seen is pajeet tier. It's a paycheck. Aim for a role that touches software so you don't trap yourself here for life.

Guy who sits next to me is a "Senior Software Test Engineer" and I have no idea what he does. Nice guy, he was working at Amazon's Seattle HQ before this but I have no idea what he actually does.

>>105809835
They deal with thoroughly testing the software before it's deployed, the fuck do you think they do?

>>105809874
I mean how do they do it? Is it glorified QA?

>>105809948

>>105809940
I'm pretty sure it's interchangeable with QA.
They basically just write test cases and automate what can be automated (a lot).

>>105809948
yall know it smell crazy in dis anons room doe

>>105809835

meet them halfway or get something else that does not cost the company a cent like unlimited WFH in your contract or extra vacation days, better equipment, make them pay for a cert, car for commute or at least a parking lot etc.
while on probation you can leave literally anytime -> make them like you and invest in you and leave them at the end of your probation or make them make a better offer

whats the best IT job and why is it system admining

Any particular IT jobs I should look for if I want a part time job I can do at night for a few hours? I'd like to pick up something small, like 10 or so extra hours a week doing some form of IT work. I have a freelance IT business at the moment which pays well but the work is very sporadic, I average about 2 hours a week doing it.

>>105812740
System admining is the mechanic tier of IT work that lets you step into management, and you don't directly need to get your hands super dirty with programming or systems engineering, that's someone else's job.

>>105812740
I should say "management of information systems." Sys admin is only 1 part. You also need to understand networks and security.
