Quickly! Before britbongs will ban 4channel, post sites where you can talk to people about tech and work besides twg!

>you have a refugee site ready, don't you?

I have been working for 4 years now, 3 as a Data Engineer, and it came to me that I don't want to spend the rest of my life in front of a screen. It's not that I hate it, in fact I love it, but something feels off, like, everything I do has no meaning at all.
I want to open a gym one day and be the cool manager that uses the facility too. Maybe start a chain even. From now on, I will keep working in tech until I save enough and jump start my new dream.

>>106112542 (OP)
thinking of applying to X (formerly Twitter). what's their hiring process like?

>>106112851
You have to be able to pitch a tent in a live interview

>>106112936
what if my interviewer is an ugly man

Does anyone here uses linux (and what distro) for work? I have been given 2500usd from my new job to spend in any laptop I want and is going to be mine. Thing is I've always been provided M1 to M3 macs cuz they just werk. I'm thinking about a M4 pro, but damn gaming laptops are looking really good and I can do some dual boot win10/linux. I'm a webdev faggot

>>106112675

no I was fucked when 4chin went down last time

>>106113222
Your are right. I've been conditioned by my environment. Anything outside mac os is scary and might just not werk™ but last thing I want is having to troubleshoot some bs linux issue when I have others thing to do. That's why I'm asking the gay community

>>106114034
Just buy a MacBook. Even aside from Linux, for a work environment a MacBook is objectively the best option. There's only a few exceptions, mostly when you do actual winshit dev (obviously) or need something that only works on Linux like CUDA

Finally told this stupid jeet to debug his own fucking slop. I can't figure it out, and I'm fucking sick of it. Felt fucking good

>>106114830
who tf keeps hiring these jeets lol

To this day getting a second phone number and using it on my resume and work was one of the best decisions I ever made.

>>106115384
why?

I want to fucking die. This project is almost finished but I hate everything about the entire process that got me here. I'd rather be a gas station attendant. If only that would make me financially secure. What good is God given talent if it's only going to lead me to exploitative jobs that wreck my mental health? When I told my dad I wanted to do computer shit when I was a little kid he said "manual labor never hurt anyone" but obviously he was wrong because he hurt his back and got laid off. But I kinda see what he was getting at now. I long for a life with no pressure, no deadlines, none of that fucking shit. If I didn't have anything to lose I'd go back to just being a fucking loser. I think it's better than this.

>>106116350
>>106116362

There's hundreds of thousands if not millions of PhDs in AI/ML about to graduate and not enough jobs to go around.

Then consider that most PhDs, including mine are very far from an industry relevance. And that I'm not situated in the US where most jobs are. And that my PhD institution/professor is not known for anything in AI/ML. Yeah, I'm cooked.

is 60k/yr a good wage for an entry level tech job?

Yes but for IT helpdesk monkeys it is. If its programming then getting raped daily pays more.

>stuck in current job because salary is too high and responsibilities not low enough
Anyone know how the fuck to get out of this?
Getting into a position with more seniority is impossible because you have no leadership experience.
Anything less than that and you get a 30% pay cut because your company pays so well.
But your company also doesn't want to promote you into a leadership position so you won't gain that needed experience.
What do?

Windows is okay but also kind of shit. One Microsoft project which I think is actually good is TypeScript. Some of their other products piss me off though. VS Code is okay but because it's Electron it's bloated as fuck. Meanwhile there's Sublime Text which manages to be cross-platform without Electron, it's far more lightweight, and you can add language servers to Sublime, giving it similar functionality to VS Code in many cases.

>>106117596
>vs code
>bloated
Anon, it's not 2005 anymore your laptop can handle it.
Also it's only good because it wasn't developed by microsurgery, they just took over the project like with anything else

>>106117122
>>If I get the job I'll probably be given a computer with Microsoft™ Windows
If I don't get a MacBook, I'm outta there.

>>106117492
You quit or get PIP'd (fired).

>>106117640
It would depend what product you work on. Obviously, if it's any kind of desktop app, you'd have a Windows laptop. But even if you work backend for a web service, a lot those services run on Windows IIS, so you would need a Windows machine to build/test and run locally.
Yes, you can run .NET Core and later apps on Linux, and I've done it, but many Microsoft products predate that (by decades).

>>106117492
doctor note -> FMLA -> return to work -> do nothing until fired -> unemployment b/c of doctor note evidence

>>106117596
til typescript is an MS product but I still dont know what it does and have no intention to learn

>>106117679
also this. cooooooders love to pretend that the only code that gets written is running on linux but the reality of it is that 99% of software is b2b slop that either piggybacks off of or is simply a ripoff of some SAP product and will inevitably be used by a roastie on a windows box

>>106115790
Same boat anon. I'm seriously considering meth. I want to take a week off and do meth. I've never done meth before but they say it's good. Maybe I should do MDMA instead. Maybe I should do MDMA + Meth, and acid, and ketamine.

>>106117725
>and will inevitably be used by a roastie on a windows box
Well that's not the issue. I could imagine if you were strictly frontend web development at Microsoft, you could get by with a MacBook. In fact, some of those engineers probably should be using MacBooks to verify compatibility across OSes and browsers. The product I work on has a frontend component and a backend. I don't know what the frontend devs use. But for us backend devs, we have to use Windows because the application runs on Windows Server instances on Azure and is compiled on Windows instances into .NET 4.8 DLLs using MSBuild, so most of us use full Visual Studio on Windows. Some people try using VS Code, but our .NET solutions have like 100+ csproj files each so that can be hit/miss depending on the task... Even full VS chokes on me like twice a day.

>>106117717
Honestly I might do this. Thanks for the advice

>>106117822
Also, this is compared to my last job which was a "startup" where we used Ruby which ran on Linux containers on Kubernetes. We did everything with MacBooks (except one guy who had a Windows laptop and used WSL for some reason).

>>106117609
It's true though, VS Code is bloated. There are other cross-platform applications like Sublime Text, or Qt applications, which are much more lightweight, while still being cross-platform.

>>106117725
>til typescript is an MS product but I still dont know what it does and have no intention to learn
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript which adds static typing, and it compiles into JavaScript. So you no longer have to dig around trying to figure out what type is expected by a function.

>>106117822
>if you were strictly frontend web development at Microsoft, you could get by with a MacBook.
do macs work on AD/exchange? and why would MS themselves give you a computer made by their direct competitor anyway? do you are have stupid and think everyone only cares about what IDE has the best font smoothing?

>>106117822
>if you were strictly frontend web development at Microsoft, you could get by with a MacBook.
retardation like this this is why the sysadmins issue out locked-down corpobooks

>>106117911
>There are other cross-platform applications like Sublime Text, or Qt applications,
Yes and they have less functionality. Did you know Heckin vim or nano is even more lightweight??? No way!

>>106118245
I know devs at Microsoft who use MacBooks, so yes it does work. I don't know how, since I don't have one and never set it up myself, but it's possible.
>>106118259
Huh? My main development Windows laptop is actually not locked down that much. I can install almost anything I want. My SAW laptop on the other hand......

>>106118544
>I know devs at Microsoft who use MacBooks, so yes it does work
They do publish native macOS applications, so there's obviously going to be some MacBooks on premises anyway.

I actually had a conversation with someone else at the office yesterday, for the first time in over 180 days.

>>106118746

>visit parents
>dad is watching dubbed ai videos about cats
society is collapsing in front of us

What do most webdevs actually do?
At my work, we have to do front and back end along with half of the deployment and devops pipeline. But I've heard some jobs people literally only write react or only backend stuff and not even database.

>>106119276
What's so surprising about that?

Final round on wednesday. Passed the technical, this is meeting with department leads and shit for a vibe check. I'm nervous but pretty confident I have a good chance.

>>106119059
I have like 3 conversations a day in the office. Ever since musk made federal workers go back to office I haven't gotten crap done.

How did you get your first helpdesk job?

>>106119325
Good luck anon.
I recommend eating some chocolate before the meeting, drinking a little bit or something like that.

Just landed my first ever job, software eng at a big finance company. Pays well.

Anybody here gotten GCP certs?
I've got AWS Solutions Architect - Associate and I'm angling to get 'GCP Professional Machine Learning Engineer', unsure whether to go for an associate cert first or go straight to the professional.

I have a PhD in chemistry and make decent money for my area (very stable job) but I'm considering picking up programming as a hobby with the hope that it could eventually turn into something more lucrative than what I'm doing now. I see stories about AI technologists making 9-figure salaries and wonder if it's possible for a person at my age (38) to pivot all the way in this direction.

Is there any point in trying to do this in my 30s? I'm very good at self-teaching things (that's what a PhD requires). I also don't have a family (massive incel) so no wife/kids to take up my time.

>>106119335
When I worked in a federal job (contractor, but on-site embedded with govvies), there were some that would just talk for fucking hours... It was like... Dude, I don't really want to be doing this boring work right now, but I also don't want to hear about your ex-wife... again.

>>106119495
I also have a top secret security clearance if that matters.

>>106119495

>>106119276
When I started in my job, it was more of a free-for-all where all devs did front-end and back-end development, and everyone did deployments. It eventually started to get more specialised where the team I was on started handling all of the DevOps and deployment stuff and significantly reduced the amount of front/back-end work we did. At some point they also hired dedicated front-end people.

Im 28, taking the comptia A+ and seeking a tech support job.
Is there a reverse survivorship bias going on because there's definitely people being hired with the A+, but a lot of Redditors bitching about being nojob.

>>106119495
>I see stories about AI technologists making 9-figure salaries
Yeah, it's hyper-competitive with those people having PhDs from Stanford/MIT and 10+ years of experience in big tech.

>>106119495
>I see stories about AI technologists making 9-figure salaries
they're fake bro

palantir, despite its 9999bn valuation had a revenue of like two million bucks last year

>>106115917
>install any bullshit app on my personal phone
Why would you give up your personal phone by installing work apps in the first place? Just ask your employer to provide one.

>>106119611
That makes me think we should probably head that route. I think we are only doing all this stuff because it used to be only like 10-20 people but now we have like 60 and they said they are trying to get up to 16 more people now.

>>106119929
Our development teams basically got split across product functions, so there was a finance team that handled the money aspects of the software, then there was a data-esque team that did reporting, etc. The biggest difference was the platform team that was doing DevOps, deployments, infra, etc. that wasn't not really any specific product area.

>guy running for local political office
>sends out a statement
>brags that he worked for Accenture
uh... that's a hard NOPE

>>106119644
Probably. Reddit and the internet in general has that problem pretty bad.
Go to the adopted subreddit and everyone is saying how horrid adoption is, but the few people I know personally said they love their parents and don't even think about the fact they were adopted.
Heck, look at all these news articles about birth rates and cost of living. People that are lacking complain, people that arent are usually invisible.
Get the A+ and apply, anon. Get more certs as you apply though, always get better.

>>106120293
Imagine adopting a kid and then it grows up and says it wants to find their "real" parents

i have a technical interview at the end of the month for a very important company and im grinding leetcode hard for it. i really want this job but im worried about not being prepared enough.

>>106119430
i've got the Azure AI certs.
the "fundamentals" one (which i assume is the same as the associate for GCP/AWS) is basically free. i swear to god i've only studied in the 3 hours before the exam and passed.

>>106120413
>the "fundamentals" one (which i assume is the same as the associate for GCP/AWS) is basically free
Yeah but it's also effectively useless and it costs money to take the exam.
I was asking more about whether I should get GCP 'Associate Cloud Engineer' first but my question was articulated poorly;

>>106120429
are you paying for the certs yourself?

>>106120438
I got the AWS one myself. But I guess I'll ask about GCP, I'm sure they will say yes.

>>106120455
if company is paying for it you might as well take both
otherwise maybe jump directly to the relevant one

>>106120464
True and good call.

>>106120429
>Yeah but it's also effectively useless
All certs are useless, ranjeet.

>>106120344
Hopefully its not just leetcode? Just imagine all of the dumb college level questions they could ask you about.

I am Solution Architect and I literally don't know or understand anything.
Even the junior engineers have better knowledge of how things work than me.
My days consist of watching YouTube and playing vidya and joining meetings where I talk with other architects about things that ultimately don't matter.
My work serves no benefit or brings any value to anyone and I dont understand why I have not been fired yet.

>>106120333
People bragging because they worked at a company are the worse. As if it means literally anything.
Companies hire retards all the time. The bigger the company the more likely they didnt do anything.

Any math bros here?

>>106120915
/SCI/ has a stem general for you guys. They also have a math general. Sorry you fell for the meme degree instead of going for engineering.

>>106120932
crazy how the meme was always "90k starting" and in this general if you make 90k without any education at all everyone calls you a poorfag

>>106120941
Its all relative. I make $90k as a fully remote engineer (non senior) and even with expensive rent, I have more money than I know what to do with because I have zero debt, minimal expenses outside of rent, etc.
While I know people who make $150k-200k who are constantly teetering on the brink of being completely financially broken.
$90k can still go a long way depending on where you live, your lifestyle, etc. I've got 45k in savings, 10-15k in a checking account at all times, 60k in a 401k and another 15 or so tied up in crypto.

Plus, tech salaries are actively getting crunched if you aren't AI / ML. $90k is going to be the norm soon enough.

>>106120941

Yeah, NYC/SF/San Jose is like that.
Part of why TC dick measuring means very little half the time

>>106121065
That, and life style creep. You'd be shocked at how much even people making well clear of six figs are struggling, even in the midwest. I know the economy is fucked, but people are completely debt maxxed such that they'll never escape.

>>106117734
Don’t do meth. MDMA is what you should do first. Might make you less depressed. Lucy and K are nice too but harder to find.

>>106121123
I make 150k$ as a IT network technician surrounded by people making 120-160k. Lifestyle creep is the real killer. Even with most of us being good at saving money/investing and reinvesting in our careers alot of people really do not move out of debt maxing unless they take that money to pay off debt first. If they skip paying off debt as the first thing they do when making more money then they end up in more debt due to the increased credit card limits.

>>106121032
If you don’t about $500k-$1M invested by about 40 you aren’t going to retire. $90k is no where near a family sustaining salary anywhere in 2025 at least not any US city. Its amazing to me that people can’t do a simple rule of 7 calculation on their current net worth on the diff in years to retirement age.

>>106121032
I dont even know how people get those crazy salaries outside of places like SF.
I make 90k w/ a CS degree and now at 2.5 YOE. Its government work so I that makes it lower than typical I guess.
My rent is $650/month since I live with a friend. No debt either. I can't even spend all the money I get unless I tried really really hard to do so. Meanwhile I have a friend who makes slightly more than me and he's on the brink. He has a low mortgage and a car payment even though his old car was fine. He just buys a bunch of random trash every week and pays far more on monthly necessities than is required because he thinks he needs the "better" stuff (expensive groceries, a whole lot of pricey stuff for his dog, endless amounts of therapy and psychiatric drugs, subscriptions, etc)

130k, no degree, sysadmin, 1k rent
I'm trapped here because nobody else will hire me. I save a good amount, but I still doubt I'll get to retire before full retirement age.

Would you consider dating a woman who is working class and poorer than you a problem? I find myself in this situation since we started dating in university, but she dropped out while I didn't.

>>106121177
Now consider how much money you would need if you were married with kids and you actually wanted your wife to raise your kids not a 3rd world nanny and also retire by 65.

>>106121180
No one is retiring. Why would old fucks forgoe some of the best income of their lives when they can just keep working and go on vacations 2-3 months at a time with unpaid leave.

>>106121195
Depends if you love her. I love my wife but her parents being worth about ~$10M and having CA costal property is a massive perk to my marriage.

>>106121195
Who gives a shit? Most ppl ITT don’t even get the chance of knowing someone good enough to date

>>106121196
Honestly, I ran numbers for this and I could support a wife who doesnt work and 3 kids with my 90k salary. Thats the max though, as in no money left over every month.

>>106121171
I have zero intention of retiring in the US, and I'm not producing slaves for some billionaire to take advantage of. I want this shit to crumble.

>>106121202
The game is to get to coast fire and then just work menial jobs while your money grows or take a low stress tech job if you aren’t burnt out. You aren’t getting to coast fire though without selling out for faang for a few years though.

>>106120854
You have my dream job, I only aspire to be just like you.

>>106121210
Ok so how do you plan to retire? You need to be stacking at least $50k a year assuming you

>>106121207
Marrying into a rich family has to be dope. Imagine having her parent paying for your kids private schooling, sports, and vacations because they got cash to throw around. Meanwhile most families can't even imagine saving for their kids college fund.

>>106121210
Ok so how do you plan on retiring? Hint: maxing out 401k won’t be enough, but you should do that. Assuming you are mid 20s you need AT LEAST $5M by 65 in todays money with inflation. You probably need to be stacking $50k a year.

>>106121202
Honestly this is kinda the move.
>have fuck you money
>but still work part time
>keep getting to go on crazy vacations instead of pacing yourself

>>106121236
I mean they are middle class in San Diego but very wealthy compared to where I grew up.

>>106121195
My poor working class wife now makes more than me, that's why I'm jumping into tech because I fell for the "dream career".

>>106121226
>>106121238
I wouldnt really be able to in that case. Im only 2 years into my career right now though and I did all those calculations assuming 90k for 30+ years.
I could always hope I die early into retirement.

>>106121264
Good, start aggressively saving now. Time is money. Its way easier to hit coast fire if younger. If I recall you only need like $100k stacked by 27 or so.

>>106121264(me)
And these assumptions relating to retirement are pretty pessimistic. Who knows, maybe the economy will be great by then. Or maybe we'll all be living through the apocalypse since the complex systems that maintain this world will be too complex for the next generations to figure out and it all collapses in on itself.

>>106121276
Money doubles every 7 years at 10% return (sp 500).

>>106121276
Im 28 and only got 41k in savings. Recently had a CD and am gonna dump a lot of it into stocks soon. Really just want a house right now to build equity.
In the case that I never get married, im sure I'll be completely fine by the time im 65.

>>106121300
Its very easy to calculate how much you will have via the rule of 72 and expected return. Also don’t fall for the you have to buy a house meme. In most places renting is the correct financial decision right now. $41k at 28 is a start thats not bad.

>>106121321
Wouldn't a house be cheaper in the long run assuming I made a large enough down payment and got a low enough interest rate to counter out the amount of total interest I'll be paying over the lifetime of the mortgage?
Because once you own the house, you only need to worry about property tax and thats way less than a years worth of rent.

>>106121034
>anti-vaxxers
well I was born before 2001 and got to experience /sci/ some time before this decade and it was 90k. but i guess people have updated their meme folders for inflation

i honestly dont get how people spend so much money. i understand capital stuff like a house or new car or whatever but even if you go on vacation you can get away with having a week or two of very good non-poorfag fun on like 5k. i go out drinking a lot but physically cannot consume more than 100$, i would puke violently and end my night long before spending that much. and new phones are LITERALLY free, every phone plan you get to replace your phone for some new piece of rage inducing black glass every two or three years and the cost of the phone is built into the plan on top of being heavily subsidized by the phone company

and in terms of magic number 90k in my neighborhood i do not know a single person who makes that much. personally i made around 65 before ceasing full time work and lived very comfortably in one of the most expensive cities in [spoiler]canada[/spoiler]

It depends, lookup a rent vs buy calculator. Interest rates are currently 6-7%. When you buy a house on 30 year mortgage you put 20% down. Houses appreciate on average at 5%. You could put that same money in a total stock market index at 7%. Its very likely your yearly rent is less than 2x property tax. You can get out of a rental easier if laid off. You get raped for 10% when you sell a house. Boomers didn’t lower their prices when rates went up. For example I rent a place currently for 3x less than what my mortgage payment would be for the same place.

housing is a meme, it doesnt make yo money unless you rent it out. not even boomer crying about having to do maintenance or pay taxes; housing is bubbling now and land is massively over-valued. prices are insanely high and somehow climbing, but most houses on the market have been there for over a year. you are likely to be unable to flip your house, and if you intend on simply living in it, then you can start boomer crying about having to do maintenance and paying taxes eating into the "equity"

the pro gamer move right now is to buy a townhouse and rent it out, but NOT on airbnb (many cities are starting to outlaw it or at least impose restrictions that make it no longer an infinite money glitch like it used to be just before/in early coof)

Guess I'll rent then. I dont know how long I'll live with this guy. He doesnt seem like he's gonna get married or want to kick me out anytime soon.
I've had too many bad experiences with actual apartments or renting from strangers that id rather not anymore and those guys always find a way to screw you.
Who knows what the next few decades will hold...

>>106121447
don't get me wrong, owning a home is good and all but if you're just in it to have "equity" you're a retard and in fact borrowing further against a house or using the house as collateral is how a lot of people perma-fuck themselves later in life

it also depends where you live. here in canada, a lot of rentals are also so insanely overpriced due to jeet pressure (they pack them 90 to a room so collect the same 100$ 90 times, so the average landlord now demands 9000 in rent for a whole unit) that a mortgage is cheaper. but at the same time, the housing market is so fucked due to chinese pressure that using a house as a financial instrument is suicidal and you may as well invest in something else

that's my hobby. little fixin's around my house with my uncle's advice (30 years in construction), two project cars, and 3D printer crafts. i want to learn it all. my biggest obstacle is gritting my teeth to pull permits, i disagree with the concept so much. i don't do any tech stuff at home.

it's gonna be just leetcode 100%, they told me in advance

How hard is it to get into the US with an H1B if you're european and not indian? I want to retire early too, it's not fair.

Friends and work don't match very well.

> online friends 2025
Yeah it doesn't work that well anymore. Most of the younger millenials are now 29-35, and the older zoomers have completed college. A 9/5 drains time like nothing else and if you have a girlfriend / boyfriend (possibly even kids) little time remains. I've met some people from /g/ discord groups but that's about it.

>>106117492
If you're Dutch or European with strong sick leave laws claim a burnout and collect checks for as long as you're able to.

>>106119335
Whenever I'm in office I do very little and just doomscroll 4chan, discord, sometimes watch youtube vids and pretend to be sociable with colleagues. I'm the most boring person to talk to since I usually avoid any sensitive topics.

9 figs in AI? No, it isn't even possible for people that I encounter with PhDs, multiple publications, decent h-index. I see these people apply for data scientist roles that are making the same as backend dev / data engineer roles. For data engineering you only need a cs related bsc and maybe some certs to get an entry role.

>>106119648
I've encountered a guy with a phd who worked at Oxford 3 years postdoc and Stanford 2.5 years postdoc. He applied to a very basic data analist position that required sql + power bi knowledge and preferably some database / automation / cloud knowledge. Data science / AI as a field is cooked man. Skip that phd and stick to a bsc, maybe a msc if you fancy management positions after 5-10 years.

Don't go into data science. Do a cs degree and instead learn about databases, cloud, basic statistics maybe some advanced statistics but data science is worthless in 2025. There's just a glut of phds with postdocs, some with business experience that will take up the jobs and there are too little jobs for those who missed the boat.

>9 figs
no one but ceos is making that and even then not from salary itself. you guys really are brain poisoned and buck broken by hackernews and teamblind

Elon Musk is a self-made man and Tesla is going to pay him 58 BILLION dollars per year. Shut the fuck up jeet.

It's time to speed up the grind, tomorrow's Monday again!
How is your project/study progressing?


>>106122750
Wouldn't it be funny if teamblind was hacked like tea? Aren't they both the same, with teamblind being for men?

>>106122919
teamblind is more for bitching about the company in a thinly veiled scheme to let you bitch about coworkers

surprisingly, it didnt become bitching about coworkers and instead is just jeets dickwaving about how many rupees they make and duping westerners because they dont realize that 100k rupees is fuckall and has the local purchasing power of about 50k dollars, probably less

>>106123117
So it's like tea.
I'm reading the few posts accessible without account and it seems fun

>>106123232
there was an exploit where you could just delete the "make account pls" overlay with the browser inspector but i think they fixed it. basically all the posts are typical "LOL POORFAG I GOT MY CISSP AND MAKE 9999999 CRORE HAHA I DID REDEEMED" piss match posts you see here. you're not missing anything

Reminder that every minute you aren't learning new skills to survive in this industry that 10 million indians are.

>usually avoid any sensitive topics.
I think thats part of our issue with talking all the time. We agree on a lot of stuff so we talk about sensitive stuff quite often but thats when we start being quieter.
But mostly its just video games or whatever. Before I worked with these guys i never talked at work.

>>106123300
if it were up to me i'd be a tailor or a baker or something like that THOUGH (and just the other day i was experimenting with variations on the classic chain stitch)

>saar you have been terminated please pack your things

>>106123417
Okay bye.

>>106123366
I'd be in pmd if that'd be up to me.
But I enjoy tech.

>>106123300
