To manage, yes, I constanly call out my bosses for being retarded when they are, which obv isn't amusing to them. I do work in a foss startup where I work together with people that also works in "the industry", and I find them to be completely lacking in autonomy, as soon as they are faced with a decision they freeze up, and seemingly have been made into cucks by their employers. With that said, I do have several years of industry employment, however I have been fired from all of them, unironically because of tranny bosses. When it comes to pay, I do not need money as I have been into crypto since btc was $8, so I always demand to be paid the lowest in the company (cleaners included) which always baffles the puny pea brained interviewers.

Yep, as I said. People notice you are unbearable to work with the moment you open your mouth. Probably even as soon as you turn on your webcam.
Being able to work together with other people is #1 priority that all companies and teams look forward to. 1000x more important than your private github.
Your unhireability has nothing to do with programmer demand or even work sector of companies. By acting like this, you are literally a net negative to the team. And everyone notices this quicker than you think, also outside of professional work. You are cringe and not based.

This is absolutely not true. I'm a waterloo engineering grad, anyone can do it with some hard work. Being a waterloo grad doesn't mean shit by the way unless you land good internships and make the most of your experience by meeting and socializing with the right people. I learned this the hard way; I'm a complete loser with a dead end job. Looking at my linked in seeing where my peers are is soul crushing.

I don't know where I'm going with this... I guess basically don't think that going to a certain university means you're 100% set. Its all about who you meet and what kind of internships and experience you get. The academic side of things isn't that relevant.

This is also as fuck. I work at a big tech company and we get like 100+ applications for every opening even for remote offices outside the US (Canada, etc, and not in Toronto). I would also say that if you want to do software degrees aren't that useful. You don't need to know that much outside of being good at leetcode. I'm really surprised people don't just offer leetcode classes or if they do how uncommon they are.

When getting my current job, no one cared about my important and relevant past experience or even asked about my degree from the best tech school in my country. It was just leetcode lol

I can take and give banter and am similar in many ways, but I also know what it takes to be productive and when to speak and when not to. What people like you don't realize (maybe because you're young, as I was similar years ago), most people have the same thoughts and want to shittalk somebody, but they are mature enough to realize it is not productive, and leads to more negativity and has no way it'll lead to positive outcome. Kinda like neckbeareded atheist autists as soon as somebody mentions God - everybody HAS to hear their spergout.
You can do whatever you want, but again - your unhireability has nothing to do with demand for programmers. Any young shmuck who doesn't even know what github is, is going to be snatched by employees because he's 1000x more valuable to them than you. Because people like working with him. And any retard can learn programming, but not everyone can stop themselves from sperging out.
But this is bait so who cares. This post is protip to everybody who wants to get a job in IT.

Programming interviews largely consist of very specific kinds of programming exercise questions where you are asked to solve problems in front of a bunch of interviewers.

if you have the option of going to switzerland you should take it
as in, a lot of people are missing the $100 bill laying on the sidewalk because they have family, a roastie pinning them home etc
if you are actually geographically mobile its fairly easy to find a swiss job. If you dont know German you lose 50% of the opportunities but the remaining 50% will still take an english speaker. Main issue is convincing them that you're actually genuinely willing to move - a lot of people apply hoping they'll negotiate a remote or work from home thing, so if your resume has no indication to the contrary, it's gonna get tossed
I have 4 years of experience, a previous stint in switzerland and a bolded line in my resume saying "I am willing to relocate to Switzerland" and I got hired on my 3rd application.

The margin on software is ultimately way higher than basically every other field of engineering.

You can post a meme pic, create a funny little joke, etc, but there are true unit economic differences from trad engineering to software engineering.

What field of eng has essentially zero marginal cost of +1 user? If you can name it, it probably pays a fuck ton.

A bridge/subway has limited throughput. A building has a sale price/capacity/materials cost per building.

Oil has to be drilled, processed, and is consumable.

Well made software "just runs" with 1000 users or 100,000 users and you get to monetize each one. If you can't see this, maybe you're < 120 IQ and coping extremely hard right now

There is also the issue of the timing of your prediction. Even if you are correct, being 40 years early on it isn't that interesting. Luckily, I've already made 800k from being a codenigger, so I won't mind if the floor falls out in 10 years (or even mind that much now)

Also, let's retire the term "six figures". That's for boomers.

Where you sit in the $100k - $700k+ range matters now.
Something like $120k is pedestrian and tech recruiters make (or made) more than that. Mid 200s or more is what you want as a pro with a few years exp now

$150k/year will stretch a family that actually buys things like private school and a decent house these days.

Well, you could probably benefit from an intro to DSA but not too in-depth, what matters is solving the questions in an interview-like environment and time. With that being said web development has almost nothing to do with DSA / LC, it has everything to do with your job, but it doesn't have much to do with interviews. Still you're probably gonna want some project to talk about or show, and unless you're a really good bullshitter it's gonna be interesting to be employed as web developer without any actual web development skills. And yet it's possible if you're good enough at leetcode and interviewing, because that's the standard that the industry set.

>> No.52476701

>>52476546
leetcode is detached from the actual job, so no, you can just go grind leetcode right now. The only supplement you need is to understand O(n) notation and apply it to your leetcode solutions, but the medium/hard problems already force you to do that kinda
but I also disagree that you need leetcode. Leetcode is a FAANG thing, and kinda rare otherwise. Most companies aren't google or aping google, they often need an actual problem solved. For those companies the real prep is in having experience in the stuff they use or need for their projects. And thats probably not some obscure framework, but rather react, or some other mainstream stack whose demand level you can verify by checking your local job site right now
For fang-style interviewing, "cracking the code interview" is the bible of interview prep

It's only "great" because it's the fastest way you can take a (functional) addict, person with no social connections/skills, a dude totally off the street or out of the basement, no skills, etc to making $200k that I know.

Pretty much every other path is going to be starting your own business or be much more gatekept by licensure, formal education, or who you know.

You fell for the certs meme? While some generally lower paying parts of the industry care about a cert or two...the absolute fastest way to high TC in tech has been leetcoding. You can try avoiding it because it's painful, but don't confuse avoidance for efficiency.

I always find it funny that noobs waste their time making endless side projects, adding skills, and a bunch of other random crap before trying for a job.

Leetcode ability is like your passport in big tech. simple as that.

I guess it depends on your location. Where I'm at all the interviews I skim on glassdoor regardless of company size ask leetcode-type questions, maybe the only difference is that whereas fagman puts essentially 100% of the emphasis on LC and maybe System Design, smaller sized companies will probably dig deeper according to their needs, but still.

Right there with you bro. I originally wanted to get into it and applied for a Bootcamp but after seeing the curriculum and what not I just realized it's not for me.

What are the chances she will make it bros? She's still working on her portfolio and github, ironically enough the dudes in her class were all cucks and I can see why working as a team is a must.
