Are you in debt? Why would you work for a call center instead of mowing lawns or doing any other low wage job? Can you not NEET it up? Did the people hate you at your university?

>overqualified
There is no such thing, change my mind.

>>20162876
Post proof

its the daily demotivation thread. just become a neet bro

>>20162876
Are those spelling errors in a news article? For shame.

>>20162899
>Are you in debt?
yeah about $60k

>Why would you work for a call center instead of mowing lawns or doing any other low wage job?
pandemic still ain't over bro. I'll be wfh

> Can you not NEET it up
nah not anymore. my wagie parents just couldn't take it anymore telling their normie friends that they have a 30 year PhD grad living in their basement.

>Did the people hate you at your university?
not really. i asked them for jobs. no one is hiring atm. tried tutoring but all exams cancelled till next year

>>20162876
my sister has a physics phd and works at nchain
sort yourself out

>>20162971
It's a 2013 article you fag , no chink virus back then

>>20162941
i agree with you to a certain extent, but its more of a perception and stereotype. like for example if you see a black guy walking your way, you just instinctively flinch even if they didn't do anything and even if you don't consider yourself racist

no way would i say im qualified for even the entry level jobs i apply for, but they still ask for 2 years min xp. shits fucked

How close are you to sudoku?
Are there only pajeets working there?
Are you a pajeet?

>>20163010
i know it is but it resonates with me because i unironically have a phd as well

>>20162994
how did she get in? what kind of position?
I'm a physics phd too and want to get a Blockchain job, but I feel like I don't know enough code languages

>>20163020
Why don't you have the quantitative and programming skills to get a halfway decent job? Was your physics PhD program total garbage?

>>20162876
Are you retarded? Accept any data science job for 100k+

>>20163045
>Why don't you have the quantitative and programming skills to get a halfway decent job?
I just don't like programming desu. I just reused matlab scripts others wrote during my phd

>Was your physics PhD program total garbage?
Yes

BA with major in Accounting, Masters in Finance, Juris Doctorate

Made it with crypto in 2017-2018 and now just gamble options and do some "consulting" gigs.

>>20163055
>Are you retarded?
probably

>Accept any data science job for 100k+
lol data science jobs go for 20k around here. pic related

>>20163065
If you had to do any major rewrites to those scripts you'd probably be a better programmer than pajeet already.

>>20163038
they approached her through linkedin about 2 months after graduating
the recruit woman was tchaita or something you can prolly find her on their website

>>20163038
a researcher position
it is well paid for a bong salary straight out of uni

>>20163090
not really no. and besides, i dont have a computer science degree. all these jobs require full stack experience. i'm 30 and never getting a job in this area lol

>>20163114
I'm guessing she put something like "interested in blockchain"?
Will give it a try

>>20162876
Damn I work at amazon with his dropouts that make more than that. I also work with an Asian kid with a masters in engineering that can't find a big boy job.

>>20163134
i dunno, i told her to apply when she just graduated and she ignored me ofc, then they contacted her and she recognized the name and went for it

>>20163188
I hate my parents so goddamn much. I did everything they fucking asked and I’m still a loser

>>20163235
I mean its definitely still better to have the credentials. I dropped out of high school because of untreated anxiety and now I'm old and body breaking down having to do physical labor. My fallback is literally hoping a retard on a forklift runs me over.

>>20163089
This is cherry picked, average data scientist salary is $65k in London

>>20163038
Diversity hire?

>>20162876
Instead of going to school you should have just worked at a gas station and put your money into ETH and then LINK. Are you fucking dumb?

>>20163038
>I'm a physics phd too and want to get a Blockchain job, but I feel like I don't know enough code languages

i entertained the possibility of getting a job in this area once, so know a thing or two. basically you need to know:
1) python (including a web dev framework like flask or django). knowing java would also be an advantage, but not essential
2) sql (mongodb, mysql or postgres)
3) html/css, javascript
4) docker and kube
5) git
6) travis cli
7) intermediate knowledge of at least 1 cloud platform (AWS is normally preferred)
8) linux
9) bash scripting
10) devops tools (there are several here just google)
11) algorithms and data structures (to pass interviews)

I wish I was joking

poor lad probably had no connections and was probably half a million in debt

>>20163545
Skip python if you are already learning JavaScript.
JavaScript can do everything python does, so you'll save a good bit of time there

>>20163699
>skip python
anon I...

>>20163545
>>20163699
Also, if I was hiring a junior developer at my place most of those things I would expect them to learn on the job. As long as they knew the basics they could start on a junior dev salary and work their way up.

Focus on:
Algorithms and data structures
JS/HTML/CSS
Linux
Bash

and if you really want to stand out some Node.js and some DB technology

>>20163741
Cool, you found one job listing that requires python. Hint, most of them wont.

Especially if you have an interest in cloud tech like AWS or serverless frameworks. All of that will most likely be using Node.js

>>20163775
This is you

>>20163741
See screenshot
Yes, a lot of companies still use a lot of Java, but that will mostly be big enterprise stuck on legacy platforms.
If you want to get in somewhere using more modern tech and cloud platforms you'll be fine with JavaScript.

>>20162876
that pic is what happen when you fall for the follow ur dreams meme. you pick something that makes you money and thats it.

>>20162876
I mean, you're just not looking.
fuckloads of valuable certifications you could get for hydraulics/plcs/hvac and make a decent living.
Look into IFPS for hydraulics, IBEW for electrics, /diy/ for HVAC.
t. Eng. Physics major turned plant maintenance mechanic for 80k a year then fluid power specialist for 65k/y.

>>20162876
lmao
>UK Fag
>27
>40k a year
>Plush flat
>Cushty IT support WFH
>20k Link
>Dropped out of high school at 15
>No qualifications

Try harder, honestly go get a job that requires some level of intelligence, working in a call centre is monkey-tier work.

If your still out of ideas join the fucking army.

>>20164041
i got no interest in those fields.

>>20164123
nah i rather kms than join the army

>>20162876
>thinks book learning equals life learning

Kys faggot

>>20164131
Neither do I, you fuckfag. Otherwise I would've saved myself the cost of American college and not gone for Eng. phys. in the first place.
Also, I take it you have an interest in the field of picking up the phone?
>here's a solution
>I don't have an interest in a solution.

>>20162876
>online certificate in business and finance
So nothing?

>>20162876
I'm getting my phd right now in physics, entering my fourth year of graduate studies, and I got two papers on my way. Am I going to make it?

>>20164226
l-leave me alone i just want to play WoW and die in my mom's basement

>>20164265
>got two papers on my way. Am I going to make it?
why are you here?
If you can program AND have published papers, you are living life in easy mode

Why was he jumping around scaffolding on the 6th floor of an apartment block lmao? Like nigga it's dangerous. Dumb ass white folk lol. White people be getting these phds but doing this dumb shit baka.

>>20164283
well they're not published yet. My PI told me I did enough work for two papers, but he told me he wrote 6 papers in his graduate career so I didn't know if I was behind.

>>20164314
if you have yet to have even begun your phd and you already have published papers you are already in the top tier

i'm guessing you're using imposter syndrome as a cover for your humblebrags. quite common amongst high achievers

>>20163089
Wow that's terrible. Why are there so many Data scientists flooding the market where you live that they can pay nothing and still hire them??

>>20163074
I have the same academic background but haven’t made it.

What was your moon in 2017?

>>20163089
Tfw I make £36k straight out of uni as a software engineer for a big bank

>>20162947
>demotivation
but it's just news from the world we live in

>>20164529
the uk is entering a period of techno feudalism and serfdom, so this is increasingly becoming the norm. pay $60k for a worthless 4 year degree. Then pay another $20k to get training and a temporary 6 month contract job.

>>20164288
This. White people are so stupid. Can’t believe they get a free degree just for being white. #BLM

I graduated with a BSc in Chemistry in 2017. I had a number of profs ask me to stay and do grad school with them but I turned it down and found a job as a software dev. Was thinking about quitting to get my PhD now. Is it worth it frens?

>>20164866
>throwing away 3-4 YoE for a PhD with no obvious gains

>>20164866
How did you get your software dev job? Was it entry level or did you have some experience related to it?

>>20164866
A PhD is worthless unless you make significant contributions in terms of publications.

Questions you should ask yourself:
1) Are you deeply passionate about your subject? When I say deeply I do not mean reading wikipedia articles about it and watching 3Blue1Brown
2) Are you prepared to read thousands of papers and come up with an original research idea to publish?
3) Are you prepared to cut corners for the sake of publishing papers?

>>20162876
How the FUCK do you complete a phd without a job lined up? Ever heard of internships?
I'm working at the same steel industry company for the third summer in a row now, they'd take me even if I put my degree on hold for the next decade
Maths major

>>20165098
well theres the fact there 1000 applicants for every internship

>>20164932
Self taught for about 5 months, applied to junior and internship positions. Got offered 2 internships and one junior position. I took an internship (the junior got offered a few months later), did well for 4 months, and they hired me full time for 65k (living in Canada)

>>20165048
Yeah that was my reasoning for turning it down. I did really well throughout undergrad research, even got a publication, but seemed like the successful PhDs basically dedicated their life to the topic. I liked the subject but it wasn't my entire life. I remember being fairly frustrated with the whole academia system.

Still, it feels more fulfilling than what I am doing now. Maybe I'm just looking backed with rose tinted glasses.

>>20162876
You fucked up anon. You will be drowning in debt until the day you die. Your options now are:

>Be a poorfag wagecuck forever
>KYS
>move to Thailand or similar and run away from your debt and start accumulating crypto

He thinks he's special because he paid a lot of money for a piece of paper. You're a moron with a lot of debt, that's what you are.

>>20162947
Bought SUTER and became a NEET

Life is good now
Playing Halo a lot these days

just do gun mods for gang members and militiamen.
