35. not a student, college did nothing but take my money and leave me with no marketable skills and no skill in any of the courses I took because they teach you in the dumbest slowest most inneffective ways possible. Picture the most bloated shovelwear install and you have every college degree possible but it's just accepted as pre-requisite by retards like you, and it's no secret this is why roasties and jews with no technical skills end up in charge of every IT company. fagppletosh and micro jew where the last pozzed companies with actually competent tech leads and now the latter is checked out and the former died to aids. Jewgle was never competent it just benefited from the latter two dying hard and every promising tech engi fleeing there.

I've finished my degree a few months ago but I've stuck around hoping to get the software to the point where I can get a big paycheck. Getting to that point would require some serious expansion of its capabilities. Issue is the boss, understandably, doesn't want to take the risk on expansion, because if it fails he'd sit on a bus factor zero software with a lot of money wasted. He has offered I do it at my own risk by basically completely switching my pay directly to the revenue of the software i.e. a generous 75:25 or something split but with a written guarantee I maintain it for a set number of years. I'm not sure what to do as I do feel that I should maybe take a shot at it but at the same time I want to earn some real money. Give me some opinions.

Without you having access to his books, even with a written contract, you'd never know if he was scamming you or not.
Negotiate a salary for remote work as maintainer, start an LLC or something cheap and write a contract specifying how much you're paid, and by which medium. Unless you want to deal with renewals, make sure to include yearly adjustments by CPI (ideally you'd get inflation raises but CPI is more likely to work).
Specify some goals for success and some conditions to exit the contract on both your ends.
Ask a lawyer for a boilerplate contract for software support/maintenance, it's worth it, you've got a great thing going.

>>100106363
Yes, government contracting is weird as fuck like that. It's because of some changes to the laws about contracting back in the 90s. A lot of contracts have a Prime contractor and many Subs for different task orders. Why is it like this? I don't know, but if you want to learn, that's what to look for.

I can use my retirement account to pay for my Masters and I have enough to survive or take out more loans. The only problem I have is that I don't know what I can do but anything but fucking engineering. The whole thing is a scam.

I'm getting near my limit here with the way employers are acting. FAGMAN has been posting ghost jobs going on 4-6 months now. It's insane.

>>100106839
That's understandable. If you have brains for Engineering then maybe Finance is a viable choice? You won't be building rockets but making spreadsheets with risk assessments and stuff. My GF is a physicist, and since we live in a third world country, her only job would be teaching physics - but a Finance firm took her in and now she's making OK money.

If I see something in the job description that looks similar to what I've used, I just add it to my resume and pretend I'm an expert in the phone screen. NEVER tell the recruiter "I haven't used X but I've used Y and it's very similar," they're tech illiterate and will think you can't figure out one specific SQL database even though you've used a million others, for example.

>>100107121
>>100107069
I do you're basically correct. However two things may work in my favor: 1 regulatory reasons force the company to maintain some level of US presence. 2 the position on my team are geared towards gen AI which in my industry I think is quite a ways off from being viable. Of course this all assuming management is capable of admitting mistakes and pivoting which I frankly doubt. I'm not worried about I'm a high performer especially relative to my cost but I don't want to work directly with people 12 hours away, I'd much rather deal with Colombians.

No one's been hired yet, any directions I should try to nudge the hiring process?

>>100107268
The US presence thing can be gamed, though.
Only managerial positions can be kept and all others can be let go.
The company I work for did that, all the 'Manager' titles are US-based, the rest are spread around the world.
So get that title on you ASAP or you risk being terminated.

>>100107173
Nothing stops wherever I go from doing the same. Also this is nothing new, yet there are still plenty US positions so clearly it doesn't work. The question is if indicates institutional rot at specific company.

>>100107308
Disturbing. Really there can only be a political solution but I'm not aware of any mainline party supporting one.

>>100107268
To me it's less about Indians and more about cost cutting. Outsourcing all future hiring to India is cost cutting to the extreme, which either means the company is in the shitter financially, or leadership only cares about profit margins. Either way, even if they don't cut you outright, you're going to get starved of raises until you quit.

>>100107414
>Nothing stops wherever I go from doing the same.
The only thing that stops it is being so close to the bleeding edge of technology that no Indian could hope to do what you do, or being so specialized in your field you're basically a brand in yourself.
You don't need to be Elon but your name must carry weight if you're to avoid being replaced.

I did an internship at a recruiting company and the QA lady said subtractors are used cus the can bring people on really fast since they got a team ready.

>>100108460
>>100108482
Well, it's partly because the government doesn't want to manage a bunch of contracts... so they group a whole bunch of semi-related work into one big contract, each with a separate Task Order... then they award that to a Prime contractor who teams up with a bunch of Subs who take on different Task Orders. That way the the Prime can do the work of managing all the individual small contracts with different companies. After a few years though, as employees leave and get replaced, the different Sub and Prime employees end up getting mixed together, working on the same Task Orders. It becomes a big mess where no one has any affinity to the company they work for. At my old job, I was the only person from my company on my Task Order... the rest were employees from other Subs. Weird stuff.

Hi, I'm currently in a situation like this, the company itself has quite a bit of people from India, Senior and high level management positions are usually US-based.

A new manager from India took over our product about 6 months ago, this month I 'trained' 3 people from India, I feel they will fire me at some point as well once these guys succeed (if they do), so, what I did was to give the most dogshit tier training ever with a 'professional' veil, I offered some highly structured training with the most dumbed down stuff (like, explaining what Java/Linux/etc are, how long they've been around, showing how to generate an SSH key to access environments, how to setup putty, this sort of shit)

So I would suggest that you give a similar training, just don't make it too obvious and use the excuse that you want everyone to be on the same page regardless of background or knowledge level.

As of now these guys are only able to do some basic stuff and it'll take them quite a while to get good at it, because only 2 people (Me and a based pajeeta) know the whole picture, and we are coordinating to fuck them over. Even my dumb Indian manager can see a huge stark contrast in terms of skills / communication when I'm next to these guys.

Anyone got any suggestions regarding this, or does anyone see anything that could go wrong here?

I went from helpdesk to sysadmin in just under 6 months, then to network admin (under a senior network engineer willing to mentor me tho) in another 6, the company paid for all of my certs. I'm currently chilling for a bit because the pace was uncomfortable but I'll be starting my CCNA prep this summer gunning for junior network engineer by the end of the year / early next year, then its onto devops in the medium to long term.

I got the initial helpdesk job with zero (0) previous tech experience outside of ricing linux and managing a seedbox just by acing the interview and convincing them I'm motivated and worth investing into.

>they went with the cheapest option available through a small company, where the small company doesnt have anyone capable of just giving me the addresses they want me to whitelist
i started seeing "engineer" as a bad thing for being in a job title after i started this job. so many engineers at my job are like this, and i am starting to learn that it isnt just at my job. you people only know anything about certain parts of your system, and you dont know the basics about anything else to the point that you start seriously suggesting extremely retarded things without the people above you holding you accountable for it.
"engineer" has become synonymous with "retard" in my eyes

>>100114098
>people only know anything about certain parts of your system
>dont know the basics about anything else
This is a common theme, and it's not limited to IT.
CEO asked me for advice on how to improve our IT security with minimal cost, I told him to buy a big safe with two separate sections.
>looks at me like a deer in the headlights
>"I meant technology"
Yes retard, we need a safe to store the offline backups, and the password lists for all the cheapo devices you keep buying with zero though for manageability. Do something right this one time, for fuck's sake.

I'm just getting into It and I'm applying for helldesk roles but I'm already planning my next move.
I basically want to have a role were I'm left mostly alone, and not to fastly paced. I'm trhinking about either a Data analyst or a network engineer.
I don't think I'm cut out for development jobs.

At the moment it's comfy, stable and I earn quite good. Not so afraid of layoffs at the moment. But with AI coming hard in the next decade I suspect my current job to become rather redundant. The creative part especially on how a UI should look like to represent the product/corp. The scientific part regarding usability, etc. may still be relevant. However I wanna prepare as best as possible during the freetime I have. What profession should I learn to combine it with my current work?

Why is the open office pushed so hard?

>>100112363
Slightly over 80k, 1st job out of college as a Software engineer (computer engineering degree). Midwest, medium-ish cost of living.
When I joined 1 year ago, the software team was exactly one guy, and he left a few months ago leaving me to take over as The Software Dude. It's been an interesting experience.
Now there are more guys in the software team, but they're dealing with systems/software requirements and they know next to nothing about actual software.

I've asked for a raise to 95k. My manager's actually agreed I should get that much so it's between upper management and HR for what happens next. They'll probably say it's not in the budget.
Even if I get it, I might not stay too long because I don't actually get to code much, upper management has made too many bad decisions, and I don't like dealing with retards (in the company and our customers).

>"They don't take you seriously, do they?"

Electrical + Comp. Eng grad. What kind of job/industry did you get into. I've found myself being a jack of all trades master of none. Too dumb for software and hardware. I was offered a test engineering job at a defense contractor for 75k, an electrical engineering job travelling between power plants for 85k, and a full stack programming job with the state for 55k. I took the programming job because I hate travelling and test engineering is basically a QAcuck dead end job and I didn't wanna work defense. It's been around 4 months and I'm wondering if I should stick with software and job hop later or look into hardware

Not sure if I hate my job or I hate my life

I got into automobile since that's everywhere where I'm at, you can pretty easily guess where. The job title was software engineer, I deal with embedded software and I've become quite knowledgeable on the CAN bus.

Personally I would not recommend the automobile industry, the most recent fads that OEMs are starting to really look for or require are pretty painful: ASPICE and AUTOSAR.
ASPICE is a process that should be "done" already, but when it's formalized like ASPICE requires, it's a lot of paper to push around.
AUTOSAR is literally just a racket, massive cost increases for very little practical benefit. Vector and ETAS are making bank off of this scam. And at least in my company, they don't want to spend the required money, so we don't have enough licenses and we don't have training. Upper management is just now figuring out that it's hard to hire because no one has experience and the people who do don't want to work with it.

Plus there were all the layoffs in the industry in the past 2 years due to companies transitioning to designing electric vehicles. The OEM I've been dealing with has all their processes on fire with no one knowing how to fix it. It's chaotic to say the least. Still worth working in if it pays good money, and I'm not working any overtime so it's not bad.


When I was talking with hardware companies at my college's job fair, they're looking for pure EEs for the most part. It seems like it might be hard for an ECE to break into hardware, but it can work. I think embedded software is the sweetspot for ECE, but going either way towards hardware or higher level software should be fine.
If you can get job offers for hardware and you think you'd like it, go for it.

Maybe your resume is missing some keywords, you gotta over exaggerate qualifications without fully lying, for example, I was a member of a infamous open source software project and only did part time development for about two years, but I still remained as member for another 7 years and I only did a few minor pull requests reviews in thst span, but on my resume I have them combined in my experience, so it looks like I've been working on this piece of open source software for 9 years!

Banged a toe and the nail split all the way down through the middle. The edges of the split nail kept getting caught in my socks and eventually one half, than the other got pulled off. It's super sensitive for a day but wrap a plaster around it and it's not too bad.

Have you tried using dental floss to try and seperate the bit that's dug in?

Failing that, install Ubuntu.

Yes. Same. Operational director said it was to cut costs. About 100k was cut... from an annual budget of 12 mil. Output is down in office and everyone avoids it now as much as possible. But hey it saves a whole 1 FTE in terms of cost! In an org with 73 FTE ffs.

WTF is wrong with some people, I just wanted to be grateful for helping me get my last job and he avoided me. He actually lasted 3 years in that shitty job and recently finally job hopped, but apart from a "thank you" when I congratulated him he didn't tell me any details and neither put any effort to keep the conversation alive.

>>100120138
Fake it until you make it is real. Almost no one will have the exact combination of the 15+ skills they list in job ads.

You get to learn the identify the "real" skills in the requirements pretty fast, everything else tends to be so minor you can google as needed until you get to basic competency. If you understand bootstraps/routes, containers, MVC and polymorphism, everything else is just implementation details in backend frameworks.

>>100120228
Anon, he's just socially awkward, possibly inflicted with the 'tism. He stayed with the job because he didn't want change and didn't want to job hunt. He didn't want to go out for a meal because he would dread spending some time alone with a casual acquaintance. If someone is non committal in responses to going out for a meal, he's probably hoping it never happens but wants to be friendly.

Just talk to the HR and ask if they do referral bonuses, they can be pretty significant.

Are "Staffing & Recruiting" firms in the US a group you should absolutely avoid or is it worth taking a job from them?

I feel like I could just negotiate with their client instead.

>>100118664
that is what happens when the company is full of lazy people

in this economy u gotta coast though. finding the kind of company u want is hard to get into. they are few in number because they are lean.

Can I just... make up job titles on my CV?
I've been at the same company for years and I've only recently got a proper, on-paper promotion with a new title. I've got 'promotions' inbetween, taking on new responsibilities, pay rises, etc., but without the job title.
I'm updating my CV and it looks a bit weird going from an junior role 5 years ago to a senior role now, without any inbetween to show my progression.

Pay is bad, work-life balance leaves much to be desired. Managers are utter shit. Best part is I work completely independently, didn't need to get vaxxed, have good benefits, and have helpful co-workers and support when needed. Still over-educated for this and would like to move into something more substantial.

You guys got any good "Project Management" style apps? Maybe not really the right term but I'm trying to be more organized with my work and using onenote and just making a new page everytime I decide on something isn't really working for me. I'm looking for something that's like a calendar + todo list + notetaking that I can be like
>May 7th - May10th: Go Live Project
>Weekly 1:1 with Boss: Long Term Notes/Short Term Notes (Refreshes Weekly but I have a repository of what I wrote as reference)
>Long Term Projects
>Short Term Goals/Long Term Goals

Just something easier to me to micromanage myself and figure out how to do shit without getting overwhelmed and bouncing all over the place.

Doubt. Will recruits get upset if you just contact them directly? What exactly are the staffing firms doing that you can't? Bullshitting better and ensuring you have no benefits and lackluster pay?

I finished the web GUI but got hung up sandboxing it and just got a new job so the online version will probably be a while.
It works fine in git though. I want to have a burndown chart with GNU Plot at some point and maybe write some sort of interactive backlog grooming command but like I said: new job and hit a road block monetizing so it might not get updates for a while unless you send me bug reports.

>college didn't teach me anything useful
To those who are in this thread, I want you to remember this. College doesn't teach you anything useful, and you sure as FUCK aren't there for fun. So why are you in college? To get a job.
What's the best way to get a job? Referrals. Networking. Career fairs. So get your ass out there and shake hands with as much people as you can (I'm looking at you, student fags). You're not there for the grades you're there for the reputation and certification. Don't get it twisted.

>implying anyone would give you time of day with this on your resume
Not only that it's irrelevant. As long as you do internships/SOMEWHAT know what you're doing, you'll be fine. Because what matters is what's on the paper, your interview skills and you're leetcode. If you're not retarded you can (for early graduates 100%, I'm speaking to students) that's all you need.
>>100121386
I'm diagnosed as autistic. One of my quirks is I do not like looking at my friend's gfs: some of them I do not know how they look like, despite us being in the same room twice.
If I can hold a conversation with roastie and you can't, you're dumber than me, a guy who has hid in trash cans before to scare people.

should I do a data science masters degree? I don't want to go back to school for 4 years to do comp sci
it's probably the only tech related degree that I could apply for (might still need some comp sci prereqs)

>>100121431
Not everything is about your resume. After they hire you there will be problems that you actually have to be able to solve.
I know it sounds crazy since at this point a lot of people spend nearly half their time in their 20s interviewing/job hunting rather than actually working but you do have to actually know things.

>>100121635
i ended up spending my university years at a local university, where i stayed at home while attending to save money. i think my biggest mistake with making this choice is that i didnt really meet a lot of new people. i lived in a really rural area, so it wasnt like people were going out of their way to go to my college/university. i honestly think i would have grown a lot more as a person had i decided to go to a school that was far enough away for me to live there. oh well, it is too late now. i am trying to learn how to meet people now, but i think i may have managed to let the critical years for it pass me by.

>>100122117
Yeah, my last year was covid era and that really did a number on me. I'm stuttering all the time when talking to people and I have a tendency to stay quiet if I have nothing to say which makes me feel like people think I'm an asshole. But most of the time it's because work conversation are usually group conversations and I'm fucking terrible at finding the right time to speak.

>>100121877
they were really until some time in college. the only thing i havent managed to do is cut off my sister yet, but that is because i dont have enough money to buy an okay house (or to make a down payment on one) with the current interest rates. i plan on cutting my sister off for the most part until my parents die. the last time i will speak to that awful excuse for a blood relative will be after we finish splitting up the inheritance.
