Then move. Location location location.

Y'all know the drill. Leetcode neetcode etc.
Stratascratch, the leetcode for data engineers:
https://platform.stratascratch.com
Get a PhD if you can.
Maybe get an MBA if you can.

>coping
I think we're genuinely headed towards an AI bubble burst, they'll be begging for us to fix it.

>emigration
It's worse outside america. Yes this includes india and china, europe the three superpowers. If you live there you should go to america because it's better on paper but that doesn't mean america is good or nice so don't bother.

>go to nursing! Go to law school, go to med school
If you find cs degree a slog, you'll find med school and law school and nursing and trades good. Maybe you'll enjoy business.

You are correct in that people want tech jobs, the problem is the vast majority of /utwg/ posters say they're going to kill themselves because their savings/unemployment end soon. Why not get a menial labor job to stay afloat until you can find your dream tech job? That's what I did while in college.

I have one and a half more classes until I'm going to have to find something for a few months to save up the 4k for the one semester I need at wgu to get my CS bachelors. I think I'll try and hold out a few weeks for a comfy grocery store job but maybe I could do line work with the mexicans again. God forbid I actually have to literally flip burgers. Any tips for getting the zoomers at burgerking to accept me as their new coworker for 6 months? They like Terraria too right?

Mid 30's here - no degree, been doing mostly frontend crap for the last 12 years. I'm not good at my job and I enjoy learning less and less. Been getting paid less and less too.

Don't know if even want to get a CS degree but then again I have no idea what else to do that would pay me as much starting out. Anything medical feels out of reach and that it's too late. I need to make at least $120k to be comfortable

Sr. Full Stack Dev. Fully remote, $150/yr. I'm in super LCOL area in a house bought in 2019. I applied via LinkedIn, one of ~25 applications I sent out. I've got 10 years experience under the belt, so I didn't think was going to take long, though it was still longer than I'd expected. I was laid off my previous startup due to lack of sales.
I did 4 interviews: initial screening, technical (with code challenge prior), director-level, and team interview. I just acted natural and shot the shit: I'm an odd duck in that I have social skills. Wasn't too bad.

Trying to find a full-time job outside of tech for the time being (however many years the "time being" might actually be at this rate). Want full time so I can actually get benefits. Warehouse seems like the obvious but there's next to nothing hiring right now and I've already been rejected by the few I could try. Not much else that doesn't require certs or other qualifications I don't have. My options left are like Walmart which pays a depressing as fuck $16 an hour or similar that pay the same. Or there are some basic receptionist type positions for random businesses in the area but every time I try to apply to them they ask for a resume, experiences, education, and I am way to over-qualified. What to do in this scenario? I cannot tell them my education or that my last position was a senior level engineering position. I was also really hoping I could find something even vaguely related to what I do for some relevant experience but mostly given up on that. There were only two labs near me offering entry level lab work but haven't heard back from them. There's a grave digger position open near me and I really want to apply to that but feel I am wholly under qualified as I have no idea how to use a backhoe or edge bushes and I think they would just be mad at me if I applied.
