>>108618331
To be honest, I was told not to include dates on my resume by a career counsilor since its not really a requirement.

Also, I already input all that information into the web application that they make you do, so it seems kind of redundant.

graduated from getting ghosted by every employer to bombing interviews

>>108618345

so you are essentially saying go first line support wagie and level up to something better?
I got a brief education in basic support help desk shit but I never did an internship during that shit and I never even applied for jobs after finishing it because I had not finished my basic education in other things that I wanted to go finish before I could actually apply for higher education
now I am almost done with basic shit
but I don't even know if I could get hired with that before, I lacked a hs education lmao and was basically not even hired at a dead end wagie help desk

>>108618526
imma be honest most msp couldnt give a flying fuck about education to an extent. they care about bums in seats and a bum that can fix things. if you go into an interview and can talk the gab and show you know your shit youll have a good chance. Being on here suggest you at least have a passing knowledge of tech. i was hiring apprentices not long ago and anyone with an education above high school i threw out. Don't get me wrong though msp work is stressful and shit. but if you show you're good and willing to learn most msp will buy you microsoft certs. since it helps them get solution partner designation matter of fact if you have az-900 youll already be ahead of everyone

>>108618526
>>108618626
i went on a tangent but yes helpdesk to sec people is a real pipeline if you can work your way around the msp world. Aim for a small msp.

cybersec became a meme because they shilled it to normalgroids who have no technical ability or even passion for the field so now every idiot has a cybersecurity degree with no knowledge behind it.

Cybersec became a meme because of Managerialism and bueracratic creep like literally every other tech job.

Also, there is this air of "mysticism" surrounding Cybersec to the point where it almost seems cultish, where people act like leaving a USB plugged into an unsupervised computer is the end of the world that requires the submission of pages worth of fucking paperwork to resolve.

>>108619238

You actually can't make this shit up.

I have no idea how this guy got a manager role of an engineering team.

And now hes dm'ing me trying to save face and condescendingly telling me he was actually just dumbing it down for them.

What the fuck is this

I recently signed an offer letter for a mid-size education consulting firm. However, with the current job market and the layoffs, I've been stressing over whether my offer will be rescinded or not. I've looked into this online, and the gist that I got was that while the employers could technically rescind the offer after it has been signed, there would be serious legal implications. I wanted to know if my thoughts on this is correct, and if there have been cases of employers rescinding offers after they have been signed (and if so, why).

>>108622292
are there legal implications for an employee quitting after a week? no? so then why expect the same from employers

Holy shit i have the patience of a monk but today broke me and i just closed my laptop and fucked off 3 hours early. Fucking annoying lazy faggots. Fucking adult daycare shit. What kind of industry doesn’t have this? I just wanna be surrounded by grindbros who do actual fucking work. Finance?

there used to be a schizphrenic man that would sit at a bench near the beach that would be there every single time and he would always be writing something that looks like that onto his papers. For years everytime I went to the beach he would be there meticulously writing into his papers

>career counsilor
Do not under any circumstances ever take advice from a career counselor.
They do not understand what it takes to get jobs and aren't spamming their shitty resume to the lowest IQ retard recruiters out there.
Add the fucking dates FFS.
Fucking career counselors should be forced to write resumes and apply to jobs to see if their shit advice actually gets them interviews.

400 applications in two years is less than one application a day. The last time I was unemployed I was applying to five to ten companies a day all with targeted cover letters. I kept track of every application and followed up. I made it an eight hour a day job to find a job.

Sounds like one of my old managers. Just became progressively clearer he was not operating on the same plane of reality as everyone else. I ended up reporting him to my director, who nearly shit himself when he saw the evidence/dms and who promptly reported my manager to HR, and he was let go 3 weeks later.

nope!!! ill get a warning
I've been trying to work on personal projects for the last few days on my laptop since its not youtube, but my manager has been trying intentionally to keep me busy by giving me boring menial tasks. I havent had more than 30 consecuive minutes to myself yet.

I understand new grads struggling. But what if you have some YOE and still unemployed without being able to get interviews? At what point do you tell yourself that this isn’t working and move onto something else? US market if that matters.

I've failed job interviews from MIGRANT hiring agents because I did not have a hs degree before
I was unable to get a help desk or callcenter job above 50 year old women and various migrants, even though I've been atleast remotely interested in it my whole life
after being thoroughly demoralized my entire life I am now not so sure
now I'm literally too old and tired and just wanna coast, well always has
>stressful and shit.
not good

>in about 5 years
I probably can't get a min wage callcenter job in that time

some people are just driven and know what to do in life

>>108622830
I got a non-CS job and continued to look for work. Spent about a year and half seriously searching, applying to hundreds, maybe thousands of jobs nationwide, getting some interviews and take home stuff. Finally got a shitty job from a local place I had only heard bad things about, which turned out to be even worse than I imagined and I had to quit after 4 months. Then spent another year or two casually searching, applying to only things that looked like really good matches to my resume or were really close by. Time eventually made the decision for me. I just picked up a few things again, but didn't really code anything or even open a terminal for like 2 years. I know a guy that hasn't been in the industry in like 5 years, and he is still staying current with the the trends and uploading projects to his github. I don't have the same perseverance.

>>108622581
good job anon. keep up the great work.

>>108622633
I did about a year ago. And yes it was specifical Data Annotation Corporation too. They never get back to you. I think it is a scam where the interview questions and the code that you provide during the "application" test is actually you training the AI model for free. It's a scam. Move on.

>>108622823
to effectively negotiate the corpo must know that you have more incentive to walk away than they do. that is typically the case: when you are currently employed at a good paying job OR the corpo knows that they will not be able to find another candidate if you walk.

You could use python and seaborn to convert the data to charts, but she'll be wanting you to make insights too, and that's her and her minion's job not yours.

Basically, avoid any requests from sales or marketing

>no lol you have to go home 2 hours early
>oh and btw you get paid biweekly
some 70 year old boomer stopped me in the hallway on wednesday to tell me a 40 minute story about how "we're all family here" and how the CEO flew out a bunch of employees to italy so they could check out his boat 20 years ago !!!

What do account executives actually do?
At my company, several of them join meetings with us and the stakeholders once in a while, but all they seem to do is make small talk and arrange dinners with the stakeholders. As far as I can tell, that’s all they do.

How do you deal with the jeets? They are really people Id rather not come in contact with, yet I need to keep my job. How do a white dev survives in a jeet environment?

How do you get nepotism connections? My mom is ghosted by the head of IT or anyone related to him at her job.

>be junior devops engineer
>only got job through a relative
>feel bad cause I need 2-3 times longer to understand some thing or build scripts / workflows to work as they should
What do?
I feel like I'm dragging my team down, I was never an overachiever but used to be better than others, but ever since I started my current job I feel like I dont perform as well as I should.

On the other hand we (our team) are under pressure 24/7 and I never get the chance to learn new technologies before having to use them, so its always AI and bruteforce for anything I build.

My focus is shot. I doοlike 30 seconds of work and then 5 minutes of browsing in my phone until my Teams shows I'm away, rinse and repeat.

>work + commute at my shit wagie job takes up almost 11 hours of my day now
>can't interview because im at work all day
>dont have time to work on projects, grind leetcode, and barely any time to apply to more jobs
how do I explain to my dad that "working your way up the ladder" isn't fucking real and that being unemployed actually increases my chances of getting an swe job?

I got rejected from the ReEntry program :(

>>108624429
who did you rape / murder?

>>108624438
No. Just been underemployed for a while. Comparably bad.

>>108624322
if you are taking 2-3 times longer to understand something or build scripts / workflows to work as they should then you are doing a good job.

The alternative is to take 1/2 to 1/3 times as long to pretend to understand something or build scripts / workflows that look like they work as they should but actually are actually malfunctioning garbage that will fuck everything up at the worst possible moment.

The pressure never stops. Don't bruteforce anything. While you may be criticized for taking too long, you will be damned and eviscerated for building something that fucks everything up at the worst possible moment.

Keep doing the best that you can do at a sustainable pace, you're not dragging your team down as long as you are putting in an honest & honorable amount of effort to not let them down.

even shit wagies jobs have a lunch break. make up some excuse like "My doctor said that I need to eat lunch at the same time everyday" so that you can take your lunch at the same time everyday. At lunch time physically leave so your employeer can't see you what you are doing during your lunch break. Schedule your interviews for that timeslot.

working on projects, grinding leetcode won't help for shit anyways.

your dad is incapable of understanding that "working your way up the ladder" isn't real because he's from a time when an hourly wage for breaking down boxes, or drilling the same three screws in an assembly line, was enough pay to buy a house with a pool, have two cars, and a family. he will NEVER understand.

>we (our team) are under pressure 24/7 and I never get the chance to learn new technologies before having to use them
devops in a nutshell kek
you're literally me 5 years ago. unfortunately I don't have any especially helpful advice other than keep rolling with it, always try to pick up and remember useful things as you go, and eventually you'll have enough working knowledge to hack it on most things and not feel as lost. in this field it's more important to be conversant and able to fill in gaps on the fly than it is to be an expert in everything. don't let fear of coming off as clueless stop you from asking questions, stealing more of a senior's time to get a better understanding up front will almost always be very helpful to everyone involved

i want to normiemaxx. like genuinely normiemaxx. practicing good posture, social gestures, public speaking, while at the same time kowtowing to my seniors and betters at work.

then after workhours i would go home and thrash my place throwing things around smashing plates and the TV and generally just turn the place upside down.

is this a good mentality to have just to be le professional? just to build le career?

Okay I read about graphs sunday is hash maps. Should I work on my portfolio project or play minecraft?

>>108624526
>working on projects, grinding leetcode won't help for shit anyways.

>asking me to explain why my Claude usage has been lower than average
huh how can they see your claude usage?

how do you generally divide time between
1) working on personal project
2) practice leetcode
3) practice behavior/psychology tests
4) applying for jobs
5) everything else like physical activities, chores, and hobbies?

>>108624569
the point of leetcode tests is:
filter out all candidates who don't thrive on sweatshop culture of blasting out barely adequate code-monkey level of software at blazing speed
OR
to fail all candidates so they can claim they need another H1B hire because they can't find a single qualified candidate


In otherwords: Any compay that wants you to take a leetcode test isn't serious about hiring you anyways, it's not going to happen, when you hear that shit just say "no thank you, I've been told by my mentor that only sweatshops screen applicants with leetcode tests, oh well, let me know if you have any opportunities in the future that do not require a leetcode test."
