It only helps if the company you applying to is already using it but honestly not that hard to learn so I can't see it giving you a big edge other than hr keyword spotting.

No. Only apply to jobs if the listing insinuates they may be willing to sponsor you for a clearance. Look for something along the lines of "ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance" in the requirements for the position.

>>108022965
Those are really rare though. I thought everyone said that the industry was desperate for devs with a security clearance. Doesn't it only cost like a couple thousand dollars to sponsor a clearance for someone?

>>108023030
> Doesn't it only cost like a couple thousand dollars to sponsor a clearance for someone?
Try $40k. Also, the employer isn't allowed to assign work that requires clearance to an employee until they've actually been granted clearance, meaning for the first 3-12 months you're there, you're basically sitting on your ass NOT generating money for your employer. That's why they put such a heavy emphasis on finding people who already have clearance, or at least had prior clearance, as it speeds up the time for that employee to start putting in real work.

>>108023218
Why the fuck would it cost $40k? Isn't it just a background check?

>>108023218
a lot of the time they'll try to get you to apply in college a year or two before you graduate. that's what i did. it was nice because the process just kind of happened in the background while i was studying, and then by the time i graduated i already had a job lined up

sounds good, i do live in europe so it's a bit different but i think that's about how it works here
i think we have calc and linear algebra together and logic separately the 1st semester is practically identical between CS and math. calc 1 specifically is made to filter people but i still managed to fail linear algebra because i forgot to send some shit over, great :/
i imagine taking economy courses would be really fun. i vaguely recall someone mentioning that you can take some for free in each semester but beyond that theyre paid
i dont really socialize so i'm afraid of missing out on the networking aspect of uni but that's just the way i am.
>>108004121
>I don't know if it's the same where you live, but math for the first semester is essentially a repeat of high school math
that's a US thing we have 3 year undergrad and calc 1 is a bit different to what we have in highschool and if something overlaps it's much more theoretical and less computational
cs students take the same courses during 1st semester
>Maybe that's a local quirk then
no i mean like math is much less formal than programming which makes sense but having a limited CS background i never expected it to be so wild. My flavor of autism gets really upset at lack of standardized and vague or retarded noting conventions.
>Arguably math at a uni doesn't try to teach implementation and it shouldn't
of course, i do think economic focused specialization does focus a bit on computing
>1st year is hard unless you have connections or get a position within the uni itself

Anxiety exists because your brain is basically in fight or flight mode. It can be irrational, but in a world where irrational things can happen, I won’t ignore it

I interviewed for two jobs at the same company recently. First one went poorly (I have hardly any experience in that sub-field). I got rejected from that one, which I expected.
The second interview on the other hand was basically just a checklist of things I have experience with, eventually devolving into finding out the interviewer and I share similar hatreds of various languages, social situations, and natural environments. Easily the best interview (more like a semi-casual conversation) I've ever done. So if I get rejected from that one, uhh, I don't know. Do I just kill myself or something?

>>108023218
>Try $40k.
I have never understood this. When I was getting my TS I was told it cost $250k and I was like that can't be right, so I looked it up and the source I found said ~$7k. That was a few years ago, looks like it's dropped to a bit under $6k:
https://www.dcsa.mil/Personnel-Vetting/Billing-Rates-Resources
But every time I hear someone talk about clearance cost they say a number astronomically higher than what this site says. So I don't know if I'm missing something or everyone else is just retarded.

Should I get a masters degree in CS? I am an engineer, I know how to code but not employed in that capacity at all. I feel as if, despite what has happened there is and will be for the forseeable future, a higher salary cap for tech workers than other people. I work in defense and the salary of some truly stupid people compared to my classmates (ChemE) tends to baffle me. So, I imagine a smart and diligent worker could do well. Albeit it seems a lot more random and unpredictable.

I did take and enjoy a lot of CS courses in undergrad, which is not a huge indicator but probably at least a little important.

https://hrreview.co.uk/hr-news/recruitment/fake-job-sponsorships-exposed-as-migrants-pay-thousands-to-stay-in-uk/385969

>Hundreds of migrants are paying thousands of pounds for skilled worker visa sponsorships tied to jobs that do not exist, according to evidence uncovered by a Times investigation, raising concerns about widespread abuse of the UK’s immigration system.
>The findings point to a growing black market in so-called “payroll-only” sponsorships, where individuals obtain certificates of sponsorship from licensed UK employers despite having no genuine role, no workplace duties and, in many cases, no legal right to work once the visa is granted.
>The investigation documented more than 250 examples of fake jobs being offered by agents and company representatives across multiple sectors, including hospitality, logistics, social care, information technology, finance and marketing.

chinks have no loyalty (just like jeets)
he thought he could get away with it and become a hundred millionaire working at openAI instead

Even if I somehow manage to miraculously get a job, it's going to feel like indentured servitude knowing that the chances of ever getting another job in this market are practically zero so I'm pretty much stuck there forever and have no leverage over my own employment or life. Life in 2020s is pure suffering and I wish I could have been born 100 years ago instead of in this miserable shitty excuse of a civilization.

>>108043014
Actually I have years of experience and met every one of the qualifications of the job description. I even spent like 20 minutes writing up something that showcases some really impressive work I've done in the past and included a link to a project they can look at, but I know they never even read it because no new visits showed up in my website analytics between the time I submitted the application and the rejection email I got.

How the FUCK do people use linkedin to search for job listings?
The UI is such ass compared to indeed

>>108043604
The search is completely broken, probably by design. It never returns results for the actual keywords you're looking for. I'm guessing that it just sorts search results by how much money the employer paid to get their listing featured at the top.

>Everything I say that I think helps, or adds to some evidence they can pursue, they point back at me somehow
>Either they're completely misrepresenting what I said, or I have to walk them through my statements (I assume this is a cop technique)

Indians are unironically right about White people.
The biggest tragedy of the 21st century is that all right wing chuds are retarded losers. Imagine if one of these loser wiggers dedicated themselves to mastering bioengineering and then developed some stealth virus that spread rapidly, was undetectable, and after a month exclusively exploded the organs of all jeets on earth.
But that's difficult, so instead they fuck off to a larp cabin in idaho and cry about "christcucks" all day online.
Even if jeets are low iq subhumans at least they strive for success.

I made it to the take-home assignment for a company I really like. And instead of working all weekend on the coding challenge, I spent the whole two days playing Civ V like a fucking idiot. Now I'm rushing to finish it but I sure could have used a bit more time. WTF is wrong with me

I can’t even get past the stupid HR woman filter and talk to an actual qualified person who knows what they are looking for. Equality was a mistake, women should stay at home and raise a family. They should not have any right to step foot in the workplace. How can someone, who has no experience in the position they are recruiting for, screen resumes and decide who gets shortlisted for an interview when they have no fucking clue what they are doing. It’s disgustingly broken and HR is simply a useless drain on society.

>>108045141
I'm the opposite, buddy. I can talk pretty and women like me, but when I get to the technical phase of the interview I get knocked out hard. Sad to accept that I'm not as smart as I thought I was. And no, I'm not brown, just a dumb white dude

>>108044025
if you actually live in DC just apply to jobs in DC. just not ones that say "active clearance required". government jobs also sponsor no problem.
i don't even consider jobs in DC even though i have a clearance because the commute sucks. many other people are the same so you might get lucky with someone sponsoring you.

I wish I could go back in time and kick myself in the head for not taking that job in 2022

Is the IT job market equally as fucked as development right now? I graduated with a degree in computer engineering in 2022 and quit three months into my first software job because I hated every single person I was surrounded by.

if you apply to smaller companies, even ones that say "clearance required", if you're good enough during the technical interview and impress them, they are occasionally willing to waive the requirement and put you in for a clearance

>>108045937
The only reason you hate Indians is because they are encroaching on your middle class, white collar lifestyle you thought you were entitled to.
Also, the next generation will embrace Indians as part of the "American identity" just like what happened with blacks, then hispanics, then asians, and you will be seething forever while Gen Alpha post on this forum about "based Indian bros"
Also white women will start fucking them, this already happens in massive numbers in Canada.
Also, all of this is your fault specifically, and this is the price you pay for not being racist when it would have counted.

Why are the vast majority of people more successful than I am dumber and less driven than I am? I've spent so much time fruitlessly thinking about this that I'm beginning to think it's genuinely just bad luck.

>>108048325
1. You probably over think things and ruminate constantly, this is the curse of an intelligent mind
2. Stupid people don't self doubt themselves because they know no better.
3. The hiring process is paved with other idiots, they won't understand or even relate to you, but will their fellow fucktards.

I had a rather disappointing experience with my old supervisor. Four years ago I had a full stack position at some small company and I left company cause they paid me dick and I got a much better job offer elsewhere, like a 1000 euro more for less work. Since then the guy seems to be keeping a bit of an eye on me, occasionally messaging me to ask how I'm doing every time I was in-between jobs. Recently he messaged me saying they were looking for a new developer to pick up my old tasks so I figure fuck it, I've been searching for a new job since May of last year.

The job interview went fine, my job coach came along and we had a good chat. I already knew the details of what they do and what they're up to now (an old colleague keeps me up to date on Discord here and there) and obviously I can do what they're asking for and more now cause I've been busy picking up skills since. Then we had our contract negotiation and he leads in with "I know we severely underpaid you back in the day, we realize that now so we're making you a good offer: 450 euro above minimum wage, gross, for a full work week, but you'll only be working 4 days in the week". I do some quick calculations in my head and realize I'd come out to less than minimum wage gross. After he and my job coach were done chatting I gently brought up I was hoping for more and he immediately got defensive, saying "this is it, I can't offer more and I can't promise it'll get any higher in the future", "it's much more than what we paid you before and we gave you nice benefits like paying your phone bill", "if you're gonna to be like this then you should just apply to a different job and we can just hire freelancers again to do your work" and so on.

It was really strange, I've never seen an interviewer get offended like that before. I thought it was called a contract negotiation because we were supposed to negotiate.

>>108048965
So after a week of negotiation with my job coach involved, the final offer was raised by a hundred flipping euro. 550 above min wage. My supervisor actually had the audacity to claim that this is a "standard salary" for this kind of work and that he doesn't want to "start conflicts" at the company because my old colleague, the only developer left, gets paid that exact same salary. The guy who can't even make a working Android app that communicates with Google APIs, kept blaming problems on our users and loved to make me fix his broken websites? You want me to do everything he can't, fix his shit, and pick up more skills (swear to god my supervisor even brought up writing as a skill I could pick up which they could use) and he can only offer me 100 euro more than the office retard? And my job coach actually thought it was a good deal and that I should've taken it. If he weren't a free deal from the government I would've fired his ass.

My old colleague told me yesterday the supervisor actually asked the support team if anyone knew someone who could do some website maintenance and shit. I was under the impression I wasn't the only candidate for the job so I guess nobody bit. You would think that's a wakeup call for a company where people keep leaving to pursue better paying jobs, I'm like the third out of four people who've done so in the past five years, but I guess my old boss is too busy planning another skiing or Ibiza trip to care. I wish I was exaggerating but he still goes on vacation 8 times a year or something.

I'm rather depressing this was the only fucking job offer I've gotten since getting laid off in May. My dad said there was an opening for a senior full stack developer at his company so maybe something will come out of that, I dunno. But fuck me this job market sucks.

you probably don't want to work with a hot head like that anyway

In march 2020 I was unemployed for 8 months because I couldn't find a gig. I got extremely lucky eventually with a gooberment job because the manager saw ETL on my resume. Retardation.

Can you share a vocaroo of what the MYEAH sounded like?

>>108049652
>>you probably don't want to work with a hot head like that anyway
If it's this painful to get a raise? Yeah, definitely not. I don't see the point in picking up everything my boss asks me to (and they ask you to pick up a lot outside of your job description at small companies) only to get offered a pissant's salary.

>>108048965
>It was really strange, I've never seen an interviewer get offended like that before. I thought it was called a contract negotiation because we were supposed to negotiate.
I once went to a company for a junior dev job, I didn't qualify for that but was then invited me back to interview for an IT support job (which I had been working in for years by that point)
They'd made it out that it was a new role to assist the IT Manager who was solo to that point, and that I'd get some dev experience too
So I took it because I'd already burnt out and left my last job because they were taking the piss with salary.

This new place also paid a shit salary, but still a bit better than the last place, basically gas lit me during the interview to convince me it was a decent salary
That should've been a red flag, but I was eager to get another job straight away, plus the dev experience was enticing.

I was there a few months and the guys in the office would chuckle and go "Still here? You've lasted a lot longer than the other ones"
Other ones???
Turns out he'd gone through about a dozen other people before me, so not a new role at all.

I had no idea what had driven them off, I assumed it was just that the place's IT was cheap and shit and the pay was crap.
I found out why about a year later (which by the way had a lot of people congratulating me because I'd lasted longer than anyone else in the role).
Turns out the reason people had left was because this IT Manager had an incredibly fragile ego, probably a male BPD judging by the way he flipped out over a minor disagreement. He started yelling at me, calling me insubordinate, he rung up his boss (who was the finance director) asking to have a meeting straight away (it was near the end of the day), the FD managed to talk him down and set up a meeting the next day.
We had one and the FD more or less took my side, and that the paki IT Manager was being an unreasonable bitchboy (not that he said that or took any action)

Is there a single reason I should bother with the humiliation assembly line and not just suck money from the state while working on my own project? Every job I apply to likely has at least 5 other people with 2x my YOE.

>>108050068
christ, how do people like that keep their job

>>108050068
2/2
I think the only reason I lasted as long as I did is because I probably have a BPD mother, so I've learnt to keep quiet and tip toe around these people because it makes life easier.
Except it doesn't, bottling shit up is unhealthy and eventually brings you down. I ended up going on sick leave for a few weeks whilst there because the stress finally caught up to me and I had a breakdown.
Everyone else was pretty welcoming, except my Boss who'd already tied my desk away when I came back unexpectedly, when I came back.
I probably should've stayed off sick longer, but I was drugged up on Zoloft so not in a rational mindset, which is probably also why instead of staying quiet like normal I challenged him on something.

After that meeting and seeing what a cunt he could be, I left pretty soon after to do something else.


I guess what I'm trying to say is, if they're going to fuck you over during the point where they're trying to entice you in you should take it as a sign that they'll fuck you over later and won't give a shit about you when they think they own you.

He was the one that setup all their database systems (did fuck all with the Windows Domain though, I made all that), so basically made himself invaluable to the company, plus he was buddy buddy with all the directors and business owner.

It's pretty telling that after the company was sold he only lasted there a couple of years before moving (or probably moved) on.
And every other company he's worked at he's only been there a few years. Strange for a manager...

The market is fried beyond belief and I think they are trying to hide/cover it up as much as possible. The white collar job reports have already been beyond grim the last 8 months, and continuously worsening, and even then I'm sure its still worse than reported.

Don't think this will work out long term.

Junior/Entry-level has been hell. 400 applications and I'm picking applications that are <= 2 YOE. 1 interview for a startup ( I didn't match their vibes ). And just now, I'm on my second interview for an enterprise loan origination company. I'm supposed to somewhat know .NET and C#, both of which weren't on my resume. So I am speedrunning the basics of both.

>>108051197
Probably not. My boomer manager from my last job is working as an IT infra director at an f100 company and he said that currently it seems even more fucked than the dotcom crash from what hes able to gather.

>>108051206
People are claiming (prboably juniors) that its better at the top level of experience, but it isn't either. None of us can find jobs.

Not sure how it is for managerial types, but for seniors it aint much better right now, I assure you.

All of these bullshit games HR plays even for retard wagie shitjobs FUCK

>>108051179
I don't know either. I have pretty good experience and I can't get interviews easily. People say it's muh covid boom, but I got into the market before covid and it was way way easier for me to get interviews as a junior back then than it is for me now.

They’re lying to you all. If it’s for a federal contract clearance costs are part of that contract.

>>108051433
iktf all too well. wish they would have a technical person reviewing this stuff sometimes.

>>108051389
Yup same. I worked and job hunted prior to the covid era, and it was WAY easier. Everytime someone tries to blame it on the market "correcting for overhiring" I remind them I was employed and had jobs prior to covid and remember what that was like, and this is not that.

Plus more people have been laid off in the last 12 months than pretty much ever, and the quarterly job reports keep getting worse over the last year, repeatedly being in the deep red on job losses in pretty much every sector.

It's fine. I'll just go to grad school and get my masters. The market will heal in 2 years and I'll be able to jump ship to FAANG making 300k+ tc

First thing I'm going to if/when I finally get a job is pay $1000 for an hour with a high end escort. I deserve it for all the bullshit I've had to go through to become employed.

>>108051906
"High end escort" just means she has a website and professional pictures taken. Best of luck though hope you find a good one.

>>108051883

These pipelines are designed for bottom of the barrel subhumans, but I demand to be treated like a real person. I would rather stay unemployed than play the game.

It's funny that you mention that, last month I talked with an old colleague that works for a mainframe vendor and he said that all the COBOL and ALGOL jobs are dying thanks to AI.

Know what you mean. I got 9 YOE (no degree) and I used to get lots of offers. It's gotten really fucking hard to find anything in the last 2-3 years though.

same jobs will probably require a clearance.

Well, shit

Just had an interview for unpaid internship
One hour of theory questions, spanning backend, frontend, relational, non-relational databases, dev ops basics, network concepts, React, Node.js, architecture, data structures, Docker, testing

Mostly not that hard questions, I think I knew 90% of them, but the sheer breadth of stuff you need to know to perform free slave labor nowadays is... Interesting

>>108052131
>unpaid internship
Why even bother? Companies don't count this as actual experience. You're literally wasting your time.

>>108052184
shitty part is even if it counts the actual internship is going to be him doing nothing and his boss wont give him any tasks just wasting his time lol

>>108052184
Supposedly they train you to transition you into a paid role
Not like I have much else to do other than work on personal projects and hope I get employed if I wait some more months. A bit sick of that

>>108035793
You work in the industry for about 8-15 years until you are good enough to be fired or laidoff for being 1)too expensive 2)asking too many questions about gaps in the requirements or 3)accused of demeaning non-technical analysts by pointing out flaws in their designs.
Then you find a new career.

>>108052395
as someone who's unemployed...I would do it if the transition period is like 3 months. anymore and I have some serious concerns.

>>108027627
I'm doing the job of 3 people and getting paid for 1.
And I'm also doing unpaid overtime work, as in I get paid nothing, for doing overtime and weekend time.
I'd bail, but I got nothing better lined up so I must grind through this shit for now.

>>108052412
shit, I did that in week one. The managers can't organize for shit and have no idea what they are doing.

Shouldn't send those stupid things if you're not even under consideration but it just wastes our time and not theirs, so fuck us right.

Yes, the unpaid part is not that long

If you haven't transitioned into a management role after a couple of years of being a coder/technician you're doing it wrong.

Daily reminder for desperate NEET, don’t take “support” roles even if you’re desperate for a job. ,mcdonald is better than being a digital mcdonald 24/7
At least there you just flip burgers. You’re not checking if the burger was flipped correctly, or if the customer ate it wrong, or being forced to work unpaid overtime because some shit happened an hour after your shift and now you’re expected to fix it the same day, holy shit, I’m really using a food analogy
At least do helpdesk, or be an actual janitor at a tech company, instead of being a cyber janitor

>>108054861
I've applied to like 8 helpdesk roles in my area and none of them have gotten back to me

100%. I noticed my dumb friends were very happy and spontaneous. 10 years ago I resolved to live like a total idiot, but tempered with my actual intelligence. I started taking risks and just doing shit even if its dumb. I immediately became more successful and happier.

I was doing it for le experience because I had some money saved up, and it was my first SWE job.
Then, they started making me do sales and talk to clients directly without pays + works on the weekend. I just left that shitty start up after that.
