seriously how the fuck do I get any tech job

>>106173081 (OP)
Networking through college and internships

>>106173081 (OP)
What's with these fucking eerie pictures you post with your goddamn waste of board space threads? Find somewhere else to hang out, you retarded fuckup.

>>106173096
The problem is I hate people.

You don't

>>106173081 (OP)
You start with helpdesk

>>106173299
Or tech support, I don't know what's the difference.

how the fuck do I get any tech job
that isn't help desk
or tech support
or field engineer
or data analyst
or junior dev

>>106173357
So what do you want to do honey?

How do one become the final helpdesk boss?

>>106173362
sysadmin, networks, datacenter technician, cloud stuff, databases
what i *don't* want, is talking to dumb annoying clients all day, that shit would kill me before i could kms

>>106173380
>sysadmin, networks, datacenter technician, cloud stuff, databases
You have to have experience for those, or luck/nepotism.
So start with talking to dumb annoying clients.

>>106173392
>"Hey, Bill! That guy right there talks to our clients so nicely, let's make him a sysadmin!"

>>106173392
someone really should have told me that 10 years ago. i'm way too burned out for that kind of thing at this point. i'll just keep building my homelab and rolling the dice on those rare entry level jobs.

>>106173096
this.
spergs dont understand getting anywhere in life has nothing to do with your qualifications.

>>106173081 (OP)
you come to the horrible realization that tech is now a minimum wage field thanks to the thirld world.
lower your wage demands or flip burgers for the same salary

>>106173407
No, but that's considered work experience.

>>106173380
Just get good
I started as a helpdesk, got bored of manual helpdesking so moved to automating my job away then told my boss and he moved me to cloud stuff.
I was always hardware autistic so being the one person there that actually enjoys hardware I get to redo racks and set up autistic little servers.
Having rack space in an air conditioned server room that I can throw stuff in whenever I want is so based.
In short, get good at it, learn quick and impress people with how much shit you can do.

>>106173459
>tech is now a minimum wage field
Worse. Minimum wage laws means nobody wants to invest into training someone with no experience, because they would have to pay the same wage to someone with experience.

>>106173081 (OP)
Have mad skills. That's it.

>>106173471
gettting good is what i'm trying to do. i started by learning about networking stuff, currently doing mad linux stuff. i feel like i'll have to start learning cloud stuff at some point, if i ever hope to get a job.

>>106173518
If you want to bypass the helpdesk, you need to be better than good. You need to be autistic.

>>106173444
The moment i realized it i got depressed. Absolute mongoloids running this society. Its a miracle anything works.

Yeah, today ur boss is a Rajesh and he has 100 indians for this position that he can import.

>projecting
Anon, some of us have good jobs, I'm sorry yours isn't.
>>106173570
Keep at it, you'll get there. Once you find your niche it becomes much easier to just rail through projects.

>>106173570
I tried to work at office 3 times, every time i wanted to kill myself. Worked like 2 manual labour jobs and people are fucking disgusting, like im not even working with humans.

>>106173589
Yeah not everyone gets coddled through life.

>>106173081 (OP)
I got my first job without having a uni degree through networking/connections. It's your only way in without praying for a slim chance after submitting millions of job applications.

>>106173600
Why are you still chimping out over this? you're mad because I'm good at my job and got to (mostly) avoid helpdesk because I am move valuable elsewhere?
You're a helpdesk worker, aren't you?

>>106173624
The only one chimping out is you lol.

>>106173589
>Once you find your niche it becomes much easier to just rail through projects.
i have projects i enjoy, problem is i struggle with entering optimal mental flow states, which makes my overall progress very inconsistent. i have discovered medication that helps, but even then it's a case of blocking out distractions and interruptions, which isn't always possible.

>>106173595
i'm trying to move away from my current customer service job to a manual labour job. i'm hoping for less human interaction and a more consistent (and therefore less stressful) workflow. i'm hoping this will leave me with enough mental energy to continue with my autistic projects.

>>106173557
Society is an enormous jewish daycare funded by a very small selection of genuine superhumans. If you aren't one of those superhumans all of your life achievements were participation trophies with everyone involved in the process also being part of the same kindergarten cohort. The adults are too busy building airplanes and submarines and skyscrapers.

Go to a top 10 university, network, grind jeetcode - although that's being phased out in favor of uni and work history.

You went to a lesser school, worked at a mediocre company, or otherwise messed up? Grad school from the same 10-15 programs and/or move to SF, NYC, or Chicago. Austin and Raleigh to a lesser extent.

>>106174475
saar i know ur mum i gave job to her saar

Tech has the most basic, well understood and straightforward career path there is. You spend a month studying for certs for a couple hundo, you get a tech support / helpdesk role so you can prove you can solve problems at the beginner level, then work your way up With promotions and pay increase within MONTHS.

This is so fucking trivial, and yet you still have morons who think they deserve a senior level role right off the bat because they did HALF of what every entry level applicant did in their portfolio.

Op is an actual moron, what the fuck. He has an inflated sense of ego, can't talk to people without sperging out, refuses jobs he can actually get while complaining about unemployment. Tis is learned helplessness

Shallow office politics and networking aren't human connections

>>106173380
If you're not averse to cybersecurity and boring shit, try looking at L1 SOC. Should be less client interaction compared to L1 support, and you could move to network and sysadmin stuff once you has some actual experience.
Unless you're really good there's no actual shortcut. Whatever your dunning-kruger ass thinks you know shit's gonna be a different mess in actual corporate environment

>>106175283
>you want money? become a plumber
We have the BLS statistics. It's only really the business owner making money. A small fraction of the hourly rate you pay the plumber to go out goes into his pocket. You're spending 10 years to cap out at like $70k unless you start a successful business.

Being a teacher would be better in terms of pay and WLB compared to most trades.

>>106175307
Correct. They are economic power and connections. The purpose of existence is to serve and be rewarded by the economy.

This is the entire thread. A lazy nigger just whining that he isn't getting his dick sucked by employers for doing the bare minimum.
Op isn't even a tech specialist, he's just a nerd, so he thinks being the top wow raider entitles him to being a sysadmin.
I bet he watches piratesoftware

>>106174090
i don't want a senior position, i want an entry level tech position that isn't centered around interacting with clients. i don't even want money for it, just let me in there so i can learn and prove myself.

>>106175581
thanks. cybsec doesn't interest me at all, but i need some way in so i'll consider it.

The world doesn't need anymore graphic designers. The companies that need them don't hire them, and everyone else is a graphic designer on the side because it's been automated so much by canvas and shit.
Not to mention how shit the pay is.

It was quite easy for me. I started off as a technician and then kept moving up through internal positions because the work was piss easy. Then once I had a good background I would get better offers elsewhere so I took those.

I got my first IT job with no network or qualifications back in 2018. Just apply to smaller companies that are actually growing instead of stagnating. Here in my country, they still train people up if they think they are actually going to retain them.

>>106173357
You get one by starting at that
It’s like you asking me how to get into a class of jobs without doing the entry
Well if you really want an answer then build projects in a niche and get to know the community and then apply your skills irl and find companies that need you
Become your own employer and have only contact be from there on with recruiters and the teams you get put in
It’s a grind but also very possible

Trump fired the BLS DEI hire who falsely said there were 73k new jobs. In reality it's like 10 times more so you shouldn't be having any issues OP.

>>106173444
It's about qualifications. But you need to show them to correct people.
