Pretty much. It's so that, just in case, some amazing hyper-skilled dev happens to apply you can recruit him and simply "make" a position in your company for him. It's a good way for big companies to keep their feelers out and pick up any actual talent without having to commit to filling a vacant position.

would you look at that, a job requiring my exact stack and experience.

got reached out by a YC startup and they wanted me to contribute to their github repo before signing a contract. seems like some kind of scam. look at the number of forks and pull requests - https://github.com/adenhq/hive

My question is, why even do this? Imagine what a mess that codebase is going to be and having to deal with endless stupid PRs to save some money.

>>107975186
Startups are usually dirt-poor or at least not interested in paying for work they can get for free. I've gotten similar offers before but I always make it very clear that I'll gladly code for them until they hire me - but they pay my consultation fee.
Sometimes they even accept.

>>107975186
so let me see if i get this straight, a startup that probably won't exist in 3 years wants you to work for FREE while you're unemployed with some vague promise of a contract
have you seen the contract?
does it specifically say that you will be hired after X accepted contributions?
how about compensation for your time like >>107975205 said?

If I could get a job working from home I'd do it but I'm no longer qualified to do most things because of a break from a surgery and I have no idea how to get back into things.

What am I supposed to do when I can't drive and can't even see bus numbers for public transport? Disability is abused as fuck so I'll never get on it.

I am unemployable and it’s literally all my fault. If I just did good in high school, got into an Ivy League got good grades, internships I would be employed with a good salary

Do you ever get the feeling you just weren't made for this society?
Like there's something fundamentally wrong with the way you were put together?
Like maybe you'd be happier in some actual third-world shithole tending sheep or whatever.

I think about that all the time. It's important to remember than mankind has been on this rock (depending a little bit on where you start counting) about 300000 years and we've only spent the last thousand or so doing this entire "modern society" thing.
Maybe this isn't the way humans are suppose to function? The entire 9-5 daily grind for Shekelberg might not be how humanity was meant to exist and are we even really happier now?

I'm not sure I would be happier tending sheep to be honest. I would probably get sick of it within a few years in the same way I got sick of everything else. The only time I ever felt alive was when I went camping with family and family friends when I was younger, but it wasnt like hardcore camping. I also started to miss modern conveniences by the 3rd day. Dunno maybe I just am not made to be happy, and maybe this is part of the human condition. After all, if our ancestors were easily satisfied they would have stayed in their caves and mud huts forever.

Anons, I'm in the last semester of my CS-Entrepreneurship (dual major) degree.
Up to early December I worked as an IT manager (for around 6 months) for a small art college and since 2022 I've been (still am) working in escalated issues general IT for a large (partly govt'-owned) company.
In the past I wanted to go into programming, but I've also got over 5 years of experniece in IT in a job and well over a decade and half as a hobbyist/volunteering/at home (mainly GNU/Linux focused, everyrhing from servers, to distro maibtainer, to networking and even hardware flashing).

Seeing as the current state of the market is what it is, and that I started with conputers not with programming but more with hardware and networks - is it reasobale to go do sone certs post-graduation or will that not give the stability I'm looking for?
Anecdotally, I see sysadmins are doing much better than programmer here - but there could be some bias I'm not privy to.

Eurosisters, how often have you encountered LeetCode/HackerRank style problems during interviews? I didn't have to do any for my current job, but layoffs are imminent.

>>107984514
That doesn't answer my question. There's a difference between "enjoying leetcode" and actually grinding it for several hours a day.

>>107982358
Yup. There is no right vs left because at the end of the day we are dealing with Amerimutts and Amerimutts are evil. I love how the idea of AI is "LE DYSTOPIA" to both sides when in reality just telling some fat mutt to put down the burger is dystopian to them.

Healthcare, especially administration, is one of the few sectors growing rapidly. Their hiring practices are retarded, even by modern standards. I applied for a job with HCA and didn't hear back from them until a year later when I got an email saying they were moving forward with other candidates because my salary requirements were too high. There wasn't a question about salary on the application and I'd had no communications with them between the application and the rejection a year later.

>>107987403
>Their hiring practices are retarded
I have definitely seen this. The hospitals' near me sometimes have cool data engineer/scientist positions open and their platform for applying is some of the most dated shit ever and they never get back to you.

I lied in an interview and said I know go when I don't. Tech interview with CTO is in 2 days, how fucked I am?

>>107989187
Did you say how MUCH of Go you know? You can pretty easily hammer down the fundamentals in 2 days. If you get the job and have a somewhat long startup time you can probably learn a lot before you actually start or just vibecode until you do.

>>107989187
Here you Go
https://go.dev/tour/welcome/1
https://gobyexample.com/

>>107989187
So learn it. Do the Go tour and then quickly create some stupid project from scratch like a terminal calculator or a web server just to catch any little basic things that you immediately forgot from the tutorial. Practice channels and goroutines a little since they're the only constructs that don't necessarily have an analogue in basically every other language and you might not have an intuition for them.

I was in the same situation as you when I applied for the job that I'm currently leaving. Go fucking sucks by the way. World's most braindead language.

>>107979101
Truth is that life has never been easier despite the wage slavery. People lived way shittier lives back then. Chances are if you’re not winning now you wouldn’t have been winning back then either

>>107989411
What's wrong with Go? Been using it off and on, and I haven't really found anything that annoys me yet other than the redundancy associated with error handling and lack of proper enums.

We're going to go back to working at a single company for life cause there will be nowhere to go to.

>>107989187
If it is a mid sized or big company, chances are the CTO hasn't done any actual technical work in 10 years and only has surface lvel knowledge at anything beyond the system/technology level, so get that surface level knowledge to not seem completely clueles and you'll likely be fine.
If it is a startup then you might just be fucked though lol.

This is not true. The average peasant had around as much disposable income as the average current day person. Though luxury items and entertainment were much more expensive, so that disposable income didn't get too far, but still. They had their daily life needs fairly well covered.
The only thing that has really advanced is medicine. Beyond that, a current day average person doesn't live a significantly better life than the average person from a decently stable area from a thousand years ago.
Life before was just different. It wasn't the hell on earth modern day globohomo tries to make you think it was.

>>107989860
I think this may depend on the period in question. Post Black Death, peasants gained significant improvements in quality of life and income because there weren’t many people around. This mostly stayed till the enclosure movement where the aristocrats kicked out all the sharecropping peasants and they all went to the cities to work.

So the people who didn't make it to adulthood don't count as having had a shorter life expectancy? "if you just don't die, you live"?
also your figures are skewed by the aristocracy living significantly longer than the working man. In the early 1800s if a working class man reached 18 he could expect an average of about 20 more years, while an aristocrat could average about 35 more.

fucking kill yourselves

I just want a job in my field. I have 1yoe in IT support, i know how to handle firwalls and VPN's, do onboarding/offboarding, some security monitoring, basic scripting, basic Azure, im applying to anything on that level or below. I just want another job to keep growing .
ive been applying for 2 months with easily 200 aplications sent. 2 interviews , both rejected.
(european)
im still not desperate enough to search for cashier or warehouse but im not far off.

Now I remember the time when a recruiter gave us a test and said they needed people, so we should expect a really fast response. Then there was no response. Not long after that, I saw the same hiring advertisement from them again, saying they were open. Like, god damn what kind of super genius people are they actually looking for that they reject everyone who took the test and keep fucking “hiring” every fucking month, despite saying they’re desperate to find new employees? I swear some recruiters just want to look busy so they run fake recruitment processes to seem productive

My company offers a book reimbursment program, and some folks on the india teams have been abusing it, expensing books with made up prices for $1000+.
They are getting fired tomorrow.
I hope they read this post and know that everyone knows

You are trolling

>>107977428
They're going to terminate you after you come back or say your position no longer exists and offer a severance policy. Take the opportunity to reject it and claim it's retaliation, sue them or threaten to, sign an NDA and get a big payment through settlement

there is some kind of corporate tax break for companies that post job listings, even if they never actually fill those fake jobs. it makes muh economy look better. drumpf or biden or whoever can point to indeed.com and say look at all these jobs we created, the economy is soo good right now, armed revolution averted

Over 2 years of unemployment, finally got a job as sysadmin/support. It's been 3 month and they decided to take me to another team. I said ok. And out of nowhere they asked me to install timedoctor which is a micromanaging spyware on my personal system and use ubuntu. wtf! And they reluctant to assign me a work laptop.

This idea that whites are subhuman retards and need infinite migration from India and Asia for tech development has to be the funniest narrative to appear in the last decade.
The mass adoption by whites of black ghetto culture had its costs apparently.

Are they linkedin recruiters? I put AI poison in my profile and every single recruiter DM turned out to be AI generated bulk spam. You’re just a number for their quota targets and you were never being considered. Every aspect of this dogass industry is boiling over with non-working subhumans doing the bare minimum of not getting fired.
