OP pic belongs to utwg

I got a full loop interview coming up and they're still bringing in more engineering managers and staff engineers for my technical rounds. I think I fucked up.

I hate being in the office so much
Every day it’s just a constant 9 hour struggle not to accidentally shit my pants

>>106139677
Just don't go

When can we start firing all foreigners?

>be me out of college
>trying to find anything swe related
>see qa job and apply
>pass test with flying colors and they hire me as a swe instead
>one of their devs just quit and they wanted to pay a qa salary for a junior dev

anyway the qa guys i had to work with at that job made me dislike qa as a profession and it was magnified by the fact they were making the same as me

>>106139677
I make do by just messing around. Its kinda nice in the fact I have to restrain what im doing all day looking at bad screen so when I can finally go home to good screen I can do everything else I wanted to do.
If im playing a game I like i would look up stuff relating to it all day and plan what I'll do when I get home. Makes me feel like a kid again.

>>106139959
No I’m talking about literally shitting my pants

>>106139992
Whats your deal? I have a j-pouch and worse that happens is that i leak a little if I hold it in for a very long time or if I ate a lot before bed and have a deep sleep I end up pooping the bed but those things arent that common.
I know poop pretty well.
You know autistic people are 4x more likely than normal people to have gastrointestinal issues? Mine was freaking colon cancer. Fun stuff.

>>106139992
ANON GO TO THE BATHROOM
YOURE S-H-I-TTING YOURSELF

>>106139677
>>106139992
Anon, just go to the bathroom. There, problem solved.

>dude has a Bitcoin wallpaper as his desktop background
yea I’m thinking based

literally me considering applying for those xAI AI janny positions that pays more than my current job but will also destroy my job in the future

>>106140834
>but will also destroy my job in the future
AI is going to create more jobs than it destroys.

>>106140852
you can repeat this lie a million times and I still won't believe it

>>106140857
>lie
Not a lie, a prediction. Just think of the types of people who are saying "AI implementation will increase our bottom line!" It's like offshoring, for many companies it's going to cause a lot of problems that they will need to hire implementation & maintenance specialists to solve.

>code base has been taking shortcuts for the past 10 years
>ridden with architectural debt and other undiscovered rotten bodies
>50% of the developers have less than 1 year experience in the code base
>2 developers with more than 3 years of experience in the code base
>software architect wants to keep taking shortcuts
>sprint refinements are complete shit with garbage items
or
>bug reports where the people are too lazy to give a simple id of the object giving an error
>casually mention that some item that is being refined is complete shit
>instantly have some heated discussion about how we have been doing this for years and why I didn't mention this earlier??
or
>focus a sprint on taking shortcuts for some complaining customer x that complains everything is taking too long, to make him happy
>next sprint, customer y starts complaining, so we focus on making him happy that sprint
>mention it to my managers, that it wont solve anything and it will just keep adding to the technical debt
>he says it's a one time only thing
>shit has been going on for at least 2 years now
it's pretty fucking funny seeing the ship go under in real time.
at least the salary is pretty good, but as soon as I get a different job offer I am gone

>>106140950
you don't happen to make software for the purpose of manufacturing......right? sounds an awful lot like the shit I have to deal with.

>>106140950
b2b is so annoying actually but it seems to be the majority of jobs that arent fagman

>>106139677
>he goes into the office
why?

>>106140998
Not manufacturing
>>106141011
In my country there isnt any fucking fagman. Feels like majority of software jobs are employment agencies

>new director of engineering
>publishes a design doc for a service that was already built and is about to launch
>doc makes no sense, advocates for awful technical decisions, hallucinates components and other services, and is clearly AI generated
>everyone is confused and asking questions about it and all of the director's answers are nonsense or deflection
Well this is going to be fun

>>106141034
>no fagman
sucks you wont get to experience the absolute joy of an indian offshore team taking on your project after getting acquired
>get pm
>saar i have null pointer exception bug how fix
>give hint about architecture and what object he needs to look at
>ok ok thank you saar
>2 weeks later
>get pm
>saar please help customer upset how to fix null kindly

>>106141092
>sucks you wont get to experience the absolute joy of an indian offshore team taking on your project after getting acquired
not fagman, our vendors do shit like this anyway and I somehow end up interacting with them because they're fucking retarded.
despite the white cope, most whites I deal with are also, fucking retarded.

>>106141092
>give hint about architecture and what object he needs to look at
So you knew the problem and instead of telling him, you just hinted at it?

>>106141092
>>saar i have null pointer exception bug how fix
>get code from indians
>deletes some data in the db to replace it with some other shit
>doesn't open a transaction
>NPEs trying to get data
>record completely gone, lose critical business data, have to restore a db backup to get the rows back
luv indians, simple as.

>>106141111
it was an extremely obvious fix but these clowns dont want to spend any time actually learning the code base, so this is the only way you force them otherwise they keep coming back to bother you with ridiculously easy to fix bugs and you have to respond or management gets pissy

>be company
>get a lump sum of money
>hire many devs with little to no vision of the future
>eventually the bill comes
>devs must be laid off
Is this the status quo in tech now? I can't think of any company I worked at where this didn't happen. Even the ones where I didn't witness the layoffs had their layoffs eventually, according to glassdoor and linkedin.

>>106141160
yes. it's more than tech though. I'm seeing this shit everywhere. it's just piss poor management. I'm convinced being a publicly traded company with a duty to share holders first, above all else, somehow creates this. No one wants to do more than the bare minimum in terms of taking initiative or leadership and I sort of don't blame them. even startups scam their "founder" devs by diluting their ownership.

>>106140857
anon do you think businesses are going to settle for not having even more products when the tooling allows them to build even more products, faster?

>>106141226
>more products
ads optimizers? chatbots? nothing excites me anymore

How much does having low social skills put me at a disadvantage? Do people with better social skills have better tech careers?

>>106141122
So you knew the problem and instead of telling him, you just hinted at it?
And this resulted in observable real damage to the business?

Maybe you're the true jeet here...

>>106141160
yes but for all fields. google "private equity firm" and now you'll know why everything is "enshittified". it's because companies don't exist to make products for customers anymore, they are just financial instruments whose value is based on a few weeks of LARP.

why do you think palantir has a valuation of like 200bn dollars for designing one(1) truck with chatgpt (and not yet actually producing any) but cisco had a net income of 10.3 billion in 2024 and is literally valued at 20 MILLION. You could, in theory cooked up by stonk market retards, buy cisco for less cash than they have on hand, and palantir is a more successful and important business to the world despite never having made a product *ever*.

Please lord help me escape helldesk just a few more certs haha always a few more

>>106139865
because if they get a visa they're by definition on a foreigner anymore, and if you just do it by LEL DEPORT ALL WH*TES america is a nation of mutts and would be returned to the indians overnight

Why don't you guys make extra money by selling exploits found in the software you work on? If they're going to be replacing you with pajeets, you might as well do it.

>>106141363
Just be thankful you're not /utwg/

>>106141419
Where would one even sell these?

>>106141446
To exploit brokers usually.

>Can't get in contact with recruiter for over 2 weeks
>Only getting feedback survey requests
It's fucking over

>>106141419
industrial espionage is illegal and generally against your employment contract where it isnt (and where it isnt against it, usually any "inventions" of that sort become company property so the company would collect the reward and then order someone to fix it)

>>106141410
Your initial statement is objectively false. Even a person on a green card is only a permanent alien resident. Still a foreigner. You can stop being a foreigner when you get citizenship, speak English, and actually love the country instead of seeing us as a get rich quick scheme.

>>106141419
>if you work at the bank why not just take money out of the safe?

>>106141507
>and actually love the country
100% of people in america would be deported. even tourists. even certain animals. the fucking dolphins would have to leave

>>106141473
yeah generally if they're moving you forward they will contact you within a few days. sometimes a few hours

>>106141605
Not really.
I've been ghosted for weeks before the recruiter said "hey, we actually wanna move you forward".
Most likely it's just a femalebrained way of choosing people, they wanna test every single candidate whose resume didn't give them the ick. Thus they interview everyone for weeks, maybe months, and then eventually get back to you (just like she expects Chad to always be available when she "picks him").

>>106141302
no. I didn't know about it til it happened and I found it. was pretty fucking stupid and I hope everyone involved was fired out of a cannon at the sun, but the world is an insane circus tent that's on fire and we're all performing clowns.

>>106141654
>passing the buck for his failure to help colleagues, do even basic desk checking, or run code on a test environment before deploying it
jeet behaviour

>>106141160
>Is this the status quo in tech now?
It's the entire economy. People are getting laid off left and right for no fucking reason other than some bean-counter threw a dart at an org chart and it happened to land on them because companies are led by morons who can't innovate and who only know how to become more profitable by cutting costs. We just got a soft landing on inflation after Covid and the retarded faggots in this country elected the biggest retarded faggot of them all just in time to fuck shit up again.

>>106141892
Why you didn't just learn to code ?

>>106141985
because I grew up poor

>>106142064
but code is literally free ? you only need an rtx5080 for it ?

>>106142064
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA LOOK AT HIM AND LAUGH HES A POORFAG AND DIDNT EVEN HAVE BIG FIGGIES AS A KID HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

>>106142064
If you were serious about coding you would have done anything you could to get ahead. Reading everything you can get your hands on, hacking into usenet groups to get their textfiles, turning tricks behind the CVS to afford your CISSP if you have to. Sorry you don't have the courage and gumption to survive in our Industry of Kingmakers.

>Recruiter: "Hey, we're looking for someone who can do X."
>Me: "Well, I haven't worked with that technology before, but I'm sure I could do it since I worked very closely with Y."

Was I just supposed to say "Yes, definitely!" ?
If it is, then why is it so hard for me to do? I grew up thinking people would value transparency.

Recruiters are true mouth-breathing retards, they're not going to understand equivalent tech exposure, much less sell it to a prospective employer.

>>106142953
just say you've used X technology, and that you also used Y technology in parallel. recruiters don't know shit and actual hiring managers won't care unless you're in some niche industry where MUST know X technology

Are you not? This industry is the sole thing driving the entire world and it requires true force of will and artisanry to sustain. Without the Tech Industry we'd still be living like we were 300 years ago, in caves, eating grubs.

My friend just died.
He knew he was dying.
His last message for me was in Teams.
He basically said
>Finish the my commits on X and Y branches

>>106143334
even if this isnt larp thats hilarious

if i knew i was gonna die, "finish my mcproject" would come dead last after settling my will, finishing actually interesting personal projects, maybe banging some slags(avian)

>>106143334
elaborate
how did he die

>>106143376
Stage 4 cancer. Was going through treatment, then suddenly got infection. Went to doctor, next day they put him in medically induced coma. Before that he wrote in Teams to me. Basically said he probably is going to die very soon and to finish the stuff that he stated.

>>106143405
maybe im a big meanie but lol. again, if i knew it was my time, i would not give a fuck about the company. i'd be sooner auctioning off my desk toys than polishing off commits or leaving documentation

That's a common communication issue between Engineers and normies. You see it a lot on Shark Tank, which is where I picked this up from

>I am sure I will surpass Jeff Bezos in a few years
>I want 100 trillion for 5%
>every once in a while a shark bites and takes a shitty deal

unironically the former "product" would actually make more money. assuming the cancer-curer isn't killed instantly by an insurance company, only in the US does medicine really make big money but it's so obscenely expensive that the market is limited

>bbbut pfizer makes over 99 trillion a y--
"socially conscious" startups have higher valuation which is all that matters to "angel investors"

>>106143637
i doubt any coding will be involved because the job ad i originally responded to required "Windows XP Experience" and in the interview I thought it was over as soon as I said something like "I've never actually touched a helicopter before", realized it, gave up on myself and went on to use phrases like "user skill issue" and included "go physically look at the device to see if it's beeping or has orange lights on it" after a troubleshooting shit-test question but then like a month later I got paperwork to sign to onboard

that whole interview was weird actually, there was also an off-colour joke about hydraulic fluid, i told them straight-up that I'd be keeping my current job, my answer to the "what are you most proud of" was something about using powershell and still failing, it was a mess

>>106143622
my honest belief is that Knack-Havers exist to find problems so they can be solved, so they get more interested in and more willing to talk about problems. solutions are boring, everyone knows about them surely, what's next, right? but yeah that makes them terrible at dealing with normies who don't want to hear about problems, they want solutions.

This is the best explanation for what's happening. I always feel like if I be more specific it would make me seem smarter. It's a bad habit I really want to kick

I miss when I had a reputation among the various agencies for only putting in tickets when my own janky shit failed so they all got done real fast. Back in the day you could go into the server room with a screwdriver and a spare laptop acting as a linkrunner, and the world as it's understood by the building is your oyster.

Is this a bot post? I'll respond to it anyway.
It is honestly fun, and very lucrative. I just like to complain.
But as someone who likes to complain, there sure is a lot of stuff to complain about. But for the most part even then, I have to admit I only complain so much because there's a pang of caring. I complain about things I want to do, or about things I have to do that could be done in a better way.

>>106145289
No comptia cert has been worth anything ever. They're for helldeskers and even among helldeskers, it's more useful to demonstrate experience and intuition in an interview than to rely on a cert that guarantees you know how many pins a stick of DDR2 memory has.

I had capacity yesterday, but by the end of the day it went away when I got assigned a set of new tasks to complete by EOW or earlier. I also offered to help because my manager DM'd me asking me to help him.
>>106147227
Yup, I learned that lesson a while ago. Now I underpromise and deliver, not even overdeliver, so I don't get the "hardworker" reputation. When cost cutting layoffs are coming this hardly makes a difference, and if it does, you get so overloaded with work it isn't worth it.

Are they retarded, or am I the retarded one for skipping it?

Just scheduled my CCNA exam, any tips? I've done pretty well on the free practice exams I can find online, but how is the real test? I have two hours to do like 50 questions, right?

>>106147917
you're overestimating the work force and the average person.

My boss just put in his two weeks notice. I think he finally read the writing on the wall and realized he was doomed to stay in the manager position he was in until the end of time after getting passed over for promotion a few times. Only problem now is a nepotism hire is probably going to get his spot and try and shuffle things around.

I've long since abandoned any sort of dream of moving up at my current company but I am worried that the new guy is going to start giving my position more scrutiny. So far people just accept that I'm working since the other departments give me great reviews (This is the only IT guy who actually works in the entire department! And voicemails to the general IT phone that ask for me by name.) but it's possible they might make me start filling out tickets for small, bothersome shit or something. Ironically I used to hate that my previous boss never engaged with me and refused to promote me despite having better education and work record than the entire rest of the department, but over the last year or so I've come to really like the fact that I can come in to work and spend half my shift reading books or working on college stuff.

Labs just like Net+ the labs will kill you if you do not try to work on them. Subnetting is the only hard portion of the cert/job

Any other language where by just knowing it you're instantly guaranteed a ridiculously high salary?

>>106148077
Wait, there's full blown labs on the CCNA? I can probably configure things from scratch, but if that's the case I'm going to study syntax a lot harder.

I've been doing networking for years without any certs but I'm looking for a new job which is why I'm trying to get a few. I had to build my last workplace's network infrastructure from scratch so I have a lot of practice with subnets and other practical things on the exam topics, but I have no idea how the exam's structure is.

>>106148094
>Wait, there's full blown labs on the CCNA?
It's nothing — things like running "show cdp".

>>106147962
2 hours 4-5 labs, 69 questions. good luck. youre probably not ready.

its given you have to know subnet and route destination quickly. also configure a cisco wlc gui. for the labs you have to know how to configure an entire router. hostname, passwords, interface, vlans, intervlan routing, ospf, dhcp server, ntp server, loopback, acl, extended acl, bdpu, stp, port security. that probably be enough to pass. youre able to use "?" for commands and make sure to do a "do wr" every once in a while.

>>106148094
Cert labs are alot harder than actual work. You are expected to run a full network from scratch. CCNP that is more required for lab portion than CCNA but CCNA aint that hard.

How do you feel about approving a pull request after just skimming it?
Really, I just feel like one of those TSA agents that barely pat anyone down before letting them through, mostly because the only pull requests I am asked to review are ones of the team SME and he has far more experience than me.
Do not get me wrong, I did find some stuff I felt was off in previous pull requests and commented about them but it seems he just didn't care and were more of asking if someone would approve them in a rush.

>>1 hour long meetings and 1 hour long daily standups
You know you can refuse those, right?

>>106148929
I can, but then I won't have a job for long as this is the culture. I have finished an 1-hour meeting with my manager to review my work, now there's another 1-hour meeting with a colleague, the skip manager, the manager and the rest of the team with cams on listening to another colleague ramble about his work, which has NOTHING to do with mine, and after this we another 1-hour meeting, which is the standup.

if youre working solo than just use a trello board to keep track of things you need to do, jira is overkill for 1 man projects, in general process like that is overkill until you start working in a team, and even then you wont need stuff like a dedicated QA pipeline with autoassigned bugs etc unless you have a team for that too

We don't have trello at our work. Honestly I'm PMing/BAing/Developing all at the same time and it's driving me a little bonkers. I get doing this is so much additional overhead but I'm starting to have a need for some structure other than "Email -> Task -> "oh it's not like how I want it, can we scope creep now" -> Email -> Task -> Repeat -> It gets put on hold -> Oh what happened to X? -> Email -> Gets put on hold again.

I'll get PTO after his and that will make a great August. I just need to endure 1 more week as he's hectic right now, asking for tasks to be done the next day.

Applied to UT Austin and GT masters programs. Mostly because I feel trapped in my current job and location, and hoping to get a do-over with internships.

However, I'm getting second thoughts about whether or not I'm going to be wasting a few years I could otherwise spend more focus on grinding LC and job hopping. I want to really try to job hunt next year, even with the recession.

I'm turning 29 soon. The past 5 years have been spent in isolation working from home. No friends, no family, no group hobbies. I have a girlfriend who can't speak English fluently, and sometimes I wake up with an anxious mind and my first thought will be "it's such a mistake being with her".

I don't know how the other loners persist.

Most neets live with their families, so they while they have few to no connections, they have the comfort of parents being there... maybe I'm wrong.

I have net worth of 200k usd, and I see how fast time flashes. I see the faces of adults when I look at children. I can see the faces of children when I look at retired folks.

I'm going through this right now. My gf hinted at getting married a year ago, I declined. Now she's questioning what the point of dating is if marriage isn't on the horizon.

Marriage would save her from being deported next year...

Was your gf sad, pissed off, or indifferent once you made your bachelor lifestyle preference known?

>>106151290
My problem isn't really the slowness but the bugginess. We constantly had issues with the security reporting functionality, and we got the Ultimate plan for the security stuff in the first place. We could never get them to work reliably and the support could not give us any fix.

GitLab Ultimate is also more expensive. Back then, I think they advertised it as $100/user/month but these days it's "Contact us for pricing", so who knows. Maybe you can get it below $100, maybe they'll ask for more. Meanwhile GitHub Enterprise is $29/user/month, and if you need the advanced security stuff, it's $30/active committer/month extra. So basically it's like 40% cheaper, and even more if you have a lot of non-coders on GitLab/GitHub.

I applied to an interesting company three weeks ago and it's been radio silent. At this point I'd even want a generic "We're going to advance with other candidates" response just so I don't have to have any hopes for it.

you can make normie friends through apps like bumble. you could make NEETs your friends, but bear in mind that they will be depressed, negative, robotic and resource-less, so they will be a burden.

You're surrounded by bad faith actors who don't care for your best interests.
Your colleague is probably a lazy fuck and doesn't want everything to blow up under his watch, which is why he wants to hand the tasks over to you. The fact that he didn't give you context to succeed confirms that.
Your manager might have figured this out but having a lazy fuck on his team reflects badly on him, thus he's trying to spread the problem and make it look like it wasn't a team performance issue, "the tasks were just super duper hard".

Fun stuff. Honestly it was easier getting a job as junior in 2022 that paid well than now.

If you're in Europe try to just spam applications at government related things and for jobs that do tech as a side / support thing. They're often chill and if you're socially capable you can easily convince them to be hired.

>>106151022
They love to self destruct. It's very disheartening to write a strong recommendation against hiring someone since you had to interview them to still see them hired. One guy was hired for a data engineer role who admitted he never needed to work directly with a database. Wtf is that for bs, apparently he impressed some retarded manager who I also passed my feedback onto. Told them I won't conduct tech interviews anymore like this, management told me they valued my technical feedback and I should continue doing it. So last time I just shit talked the company to all candidates. I'm no longer tasked with holding interviews.

Yes double speak really does work especially on women. They love the high confidence since often they would lack that confidence themselves. Therefore fake it, be a conman because that's what pays the most. You have had a list of past US presidents who openly engaged in fraud and it worked. Normies literally don't care about Trump or Biden their fraud, let alone the entire chain under them that engages in it. If anything the US should replace the statue of liberty with a statue of Bernie Madoff.

>>106144381
Try viewing recruiters, HR and interviews as a competition in social skill + lying. No, you can't talk about this with colleagues if you get hired. You typically can't even talk about this with normies since they instantly will deny that they lie even though they do.

>What's the fastest and most effective way to learn this language?

>>106144309
Yes. Its just micromanagement + task management disguised as ''enabling developers''. The sprint stuff is designed to extract as much hours out of you as possible. Since everything becomes transparent for upper management this also enables upper management to actively unload verbally on the product owner if targets aren't met so the product owner can whip the engineers harder in fear of being replaced.

It's a shittest to test commitment.
It's fine to not be there every once in a while, but I'd recommend showing up at least thrice a week. That's so the company knows you're "committed" and "engaged with the vision" or whatever the HR jargon is these days.

If I were you, I'd use a script to spam the opening with shitty jeet-named applications that don't fit the role at all. They'll think "damn, we've been picked up by the bots" and give up on their hunt.

>>106152846
Just set yourself as busy on slack/teams/whatever. My old workfriend who was an absolute lad taught me this one and it works flawlessly.
Basically, the jeet hunts random devs who are available to help them. Since you're a generous, helpful, and teamworking white man you're drawn to help them nonetheless.
By setting yourself as busy the jeet puts you on the bottom of the list of "people to ask for help". Trust me, it works.

>>106152937
That's actually a pretty good idea. But I'm not really sure what they want, I mean they didn't even ask me to come in for an interview after the jeetcode tests. It's quite strange, I'm overqualified for the position, so I have no idea what they're thinking. It's a role with a relocation, but luck has it I'm already living there, so they don't even have to pay for international relocation. It's a really bizarre scenario.

>>106152699
>make it make sense
Anti-nepotism is only found in white culture. You see white boomers refusing to hire their own sons "because they gotta learn how life works", while a jeet will hire all his family if given the chance.
In a game-theoretical sense, anti-nepotism is a losing strategy against nepotism and won't ever come out on top.

I cancelled my cursor subscription cause claude code is way better overall but coding is actually so fucking miserable without cursors tab autocomplete. I've tried supermaven, copilot, amazon q and they all blow asshole in comparison. I'm not even talking about using it helping me write code per se, but for any rote task in a file like adding an instantiation of a class and a call to one of its functions in each test in a test file. With cursor I could do this for a 400 line test file in like 20 seconds flat with their tab jumping. The other autocomplete doesn't even do it at all. I'm on the verge of resubscribing just for this cause I guess there is no competitor on the market.

Recruiters are generally emotionally irresponsible people and they'll leave you hanging for any minor gain on their end (including for salary negotiations).
I might be wrong here but my read is that the recruiter is stalling you so they can prolong their candidate search. You're probably very "on the edge" of what they want, which is why they're willing to pour more resources into candidate search without letting you go entirely.
If it were me I'd be very happy with this scenario desu. Jeet-spamming could unironically help you here, I'd seriously consider it

>>106152977
>>106152905
well they're talking about something related to my work so they're "technically" helping me but they just infodump the shit outta me that I have no idea what the fuck they're on about.

>>106152856
do TVs not come with screws? i know desktop monitors generally have little pot tin/plastic panels hiding screws where the stand goes and youre supposed to use those with stands

i havent bought a new tv in 9001 years so idk if tvs have em

>>106153179
Maybe they do these days. My TV was also ancient.

>>106153135
No they actually just told me that they weren't interested and that I could try to apply again in 3 months time. I sent the in house recruiter an email asking if they had any feedback but they never replied. Yeah, too jeet spam them I'd have to make a ton of emails and then fill in the applications, I'd take a ton of time desu.

>>106148762
I am usually thorough with my PR reviews. Sometimes I ask people to explain it to me if their PR is huge and if they do, I let small stuff pass. Otherwise you can bet I will be commenting every fucking line of your PR.

I hate my company so I approve of every single jeet PR without reading a single line of it.

I have coworkers of all ethnicities and they're all competent. Sure at varying levels, but not to the point of "this person is detrimental, let's fire them".

It just feels like a lot of my job is reporting, automating or optimizing really small shit. I'm trying to be coolios about it but most of the time I get a request and it's like "omg vp is panicking because the notification email duplicated OMG WE NEED THIS RESOLVED ASAP" I don't know. Getting some kinda dread to this desu.

>>106153535
Is this a joke reply?

>>106153451

I mean it's hard to "hate" most of them. At worst they're just dumb and tedious. They're not the meanest people around. Some of them are event pleasant in personality. It was hard to come to terms with how much I hate Indian corporate culture because the Indian-Americans I know who are more 2nd/3rd gen are some of the coolest people I've met. I just had to go and get the other 95% of them forced on me and get laid off for them and all that.

I think the worst sin you can do is promoting them anywhere near management/executive level. A team of jeets could actually get decent shit done if they were within a white-led organization with western standards and expectations of quality. It's just when they take over executive leadership it all goes to hell because the general culture becomes Indian.

>>106153558
Sure a bit of luck is involved, but literally nobody is forcing you to stay at your current company. I had that mentality for a while and honestly was super hesitant to accept the job offer, even though on paper it sounded perfect. "there MUST be a catch I thought". I took the dive and it was all as good as it seemed. Then my thinking moved to "ok so this is the honeymoon phase they talk about". And sure I got less excited about doing stuff over time, and you can see the bullshit creeping in more heads-on, but would I say there was a catch? Hell no.
TLDR: find another job. You can be as picky as you want and if you don't like it, look for the next job

Autistic individuals often face challenges with social perspective-taking, a phenomenon sometimes called "mind blindness" or "theory of mind" (ToM) difficulties, where they struggle to understand that others have different beliefs, desires, and perspectives.

>>106153648
I'm not the one taking their own lived experience as objective fact here, anon.

The project I'm working on has like 200k lines of code. I've been working on it for a year and there are still days where I stumble upon some file I never even knew existed kek

>>106153658
I never said it will be the same for everyone else. Maybe you're too retarded at reading comprehension?

>>106153750
Nigger, you're assuming jobs are just there for the taking. I've been applying for three fucking months now with nothing to show for it.

gm sirs, I hope we're ready for another needful day.

They are

Let me guess, you want 200k salary with 4YOE and no masters degree?

>>106153766
as for me is do sneedful yes

>>106142969
how'd you do that? I applied to a bunch out of college and got some interviews but no offers. I think my resume might be absolute ass, but what did you do to get a job like that, did you know someone working there or anything?

Need help, does anyone get extremely stressed out and nervous during the second part of the work day for no reason?
Could it be the coffee?
If you don't, how many times do you go outside for a walk or something?

>>106153662
Totally normal.

>>106153815
I realized I just lacked sleep. Which is hard to get enough of because I take creatine and caffeine in the morning to stay awake during work.

>>106153662

I never get to be anywhere for the greenfield phase so I never see the part where people are just hacking away at it slapping all of this together

Thanks for confirming your retardation

>>106153904
Nta but the job market has definitely toughened up and junior jobs are as unavailable as in the US. What we don't have are leetcode type interviews for mid-tier devs (yet). My latest interview for 70k gross was just a basic live coding interview along with acting like an awkward normie instead of a mentally ill autist.

>>106153949

>>106154023
Probably does but it works for me. 3g of creatine HCL capsules taken in the morning followed by ungodly amounts of diet soda throughout the day keeps me wakeful and focused.

>>106153791
i'm not-quite-ex military. im positive i only got it because i already come with a clearance and am already allowed onto bases. i also asked for approximately nothing for salary

>>106153815

>>106154048
>be Hispanic
My condolences

>>106149945
Stick with masters and do a leetcode a day. Leetcode will only teach you how pass interviews. It won’t give you understanding. It could lead to a job thats something more interesting than crud maintenance (most faang jobs).

>>106153949
>What we don't have are leetcode type interviews for mid-tier devs (yet).
And thank god for that.

>>106154107

>>106154287
California SAYS it does. But it isn't true. It's only if you're a woman or token brown.
You find a pro bono lawyer who will settle for pennies on the dollar, but they'll never take it to court. And the state prosecute ever.

On the other hand my wife went to the Civil Rights Department over a wage loss claim due to pregnancy discrimination. Not only did they say everything she said they'd pursue, they offered to ADD additional claims to it.
Meanwhile I got told to fuck off because I'm not any protected class (they didn't even bother to see if my claims were substantiated)
>>106154316
Hoping that paralegal sues him and starts a class action

I got the wfh job in March. I thought I'd workout everyday and be fit and less stressed. Unfortunately not. But I have more money. And a girl I'm dating but she's stressing me out and I'm basically about as fat as I was in February.
