shut crescent
#

no idea i did internship + part time + start full time next month

shut crescent
#

im trying to leavebefore i even start full time realistically

blazing sonnet
#

do they have any penalty if you break a contract?

vagrant escarp
#

yes

#

depends on the company

blazing sonnet

shut crescent
#

vagrant escarp
#

shut crescent
#

yup they underpaid me super low cuz this shit economy, all companies are using it as leverage to pay less

vagrant escarp

shut crescent
#

110k is pretty bad in the bay lol

vagrant escarp
#

oh yeah i guess in the bay it is if u gotta pay ur own rent

# peak pike How do I counteroffer respectfully

Ideally, you have other offers to bring up. Otherwise, use the statistics on levels and other similar websites to discuss why you should have a higher base pay, signing bonus, etc. As well as what additional skills you bring that they might not have seen from the interview. If it's a federal position, there's almost no point since their pay is pretty much set.

The solution is to make as much money as possible as a SWE to sustain a lifestyle of hookers and cocaine everyday if you don't want to be a virgin while working in tech

Make an LLC to pay taxes and write most of those off as business expenses

yup

clever lintel

how much did ur GPA matter for yall

late kestrel
#

over the past 3 years ive only had gpa brought up once in interviews and it was an off hand remark

#

unless yours is terrible it likely wont matter

#

just dont put it on your resume anyways

clever lintel

yea thats what im gonna do

#

im still a junior and i have a fair bit of internships. i was wondering whether leaving the gpa off my resume would negatively affect me

#

I often hear there is widespread diversity quota if anything it’s the reverse

fossil jewel
#

the actual industry is still mostly white n asian

daring gazelle
#

There is a reason why they collect gender and stuff in your application

#

It’s not to discriminate

#

Individual applicants

#

But it’s to show the company

#

What percentage of a certain group that is getting in

#

So if the data shows they have a 90% of a certain group

#

They will focus on hiring the other group

fossil jewel
#

amazon had a thing where it would reject applicants based on race

daring gazelle
#

So that the government and the public don’t accuse them of racism

fossil jewel
#

they can just say the AI did it, but AI is trained by ppl

daring gazelle
#

Like they focus on hiring certain group if the data shows them they are lacking if anything the AI is made to make shit more diverse

fossil jewel
#

yeah they might claim that they try to promote diversity

daring gazelle
#

Tbh people don’t want shit to be non discriminatory

#

If it’s just on merits shit get real fair real fast

#

They just want whatever it is doesn’t matter what other people gets they have to get more

fossil jewel
#

but im sure if you do a LI search on SWE jobs, you're not gonna see minorities pop up a lot

#

i think its just that everyone from a similar background competes with each other

fossil jewel
#

not in tech

#

or stem

daring gazelle
#

Exactly

fossil jewel
#

if you're asian, you're kinda competing with other asians

daring gazelle
#

All fair and good

fossil jewel
#

not really competing with the minorities

daring gazelle
#

A slot is a slot man

#

I don’t really care what race gets it

fossil jewel
#

yeah we all want jobs

#

i get that

#

lots of demand, little supply

oak patrol
#

Is devrev OA automated?

vagrant escarp
#

Yeah personally I think the whole minority and diversity thing in America is pretty bull shit

#

Forcing more attention on it and to meet certain requirements for diversity just promotes more discrimination

#

Just hire based off of merit

#

If they all tend to be one race, then maybe focus on providing money for the less privileged in terms of education

#

The solution definitely isn’t to call out everyone’s race and sexuality for some company statistic, that’s just for the businessmen to make the public stfu when they complain about racism

chilly burrow
#

A lot of people have unconscious biases

#

Like there are numerous studies

#

That women and people with names that imply their a PoC r discriminated against

#

Even if they have more or the same quals

#

So dei programs help make up for that indifference

vagrant escarp
# chilly burrow So dei programs help make up for that indifference

Well yeah this is a complex issue hard to discuss via text but all these “programs” really achieve is more discrimination but it’s “discriminating” towards evening out the race disparity in the workforce but may not necessarily represent the total population of that field

#

If we have 2 people but one is white/Asian compared to a minority and they have equal skill sets, for the sake of this example let’s just say could be slightly more qualified but because the company wants to appear to be more “diverse” and not racist they would hire the minority

#

The individual that’s white/Asian didn’t ask to be born that race, but because they are they can be discriminated towards

chilly burrow

Anyone gave an IBM OA recently?

chilly burrow
#

Dei programs do not steal roles from white/asians

vagrant escarp
chilly burrow
#

They help minorites who are intelligent and accomplished get roes

#

*roles

chilly burrow
#

It is an attempt at making hiring more equitable

vagrant escarp
#

Hypothetically if we were to find out the total demographic of a certain field and it turned out to be 95% male and 5 percent woman and in the workforce we saw a similar demographic, is the solution to say, we need to hire more females to make it 50/50? Or to create programs to make it so that the whole demographic is actually representative of what we want the workforce to be

rigid quail
#

DEI programs aren’t making things “50/50”, they’re just trying to even out their workforce from an imbalance that was originally caused by societal imbalances

vagrant escarp
#

In the world we live in now there’s like 100 different diversity groups, so there’s no such thing as 50/50

timber rock
#

not another diversity discussion on cscd monkaS

rigid quail
#

yeah but the concept of 50/50, meaning complete equal representation (accounting for error and ambiguity)

timber rock
#

we should bring back xceed. that guy had some wild ass takes on this last time

rigid quail
#

what’s crazy to me is minorities think they’re not being hired due to their name/race and things of that sort, and now white and asian people also think they’re not being hired because of a DEI agenda stealing opportunities from them, so then who tf is getting hired

normal palm
#

LOL

#

anyone with a network is getting hired

rigid quail
#

there is always bias in a job hiring process, drop the victim mentality and just keep moving

vagrant escarp
vagrant escarp
#

just like if u get a short fat and ugly person compared to someone who's tall fit and more charismatic, even if the short fat and ugly person is more skilled technically, he may get "discriminated" against

fossil jewel
rigid quail
fossil jewel
#

also i think ppl think they'd take a minority with no merit over someone who has all the merit

#

the minority still has to have a merit to pass thru 5 rounds of interviews

vagrant escarp
rigid quail
#

exactly at the end of the day the difference is negligible in skill if you pass the interviews most of the job will be writing small microservices in node anyways

fossil jewel
#

blame the system not the players

normal palm
#

my guy said writing small microservices in node loool

fossil jewel
#

there are actual folks in cs that believe minorities are actually unworthy

#

and that they're stealing their jerbs

vagrant escarp
#

a very small percentage of people who are actually racist

vagrant escarp
#

most people i feel would stand up to racism if they saw it

fossil jewel
vagrant escarp
#

that's just at least my experrience

rigid quail
#

yeah it’s racism combined with insane amounts of insecurity

fossil jewel
#

its all rng

rigid quail
#

i honestly think hiring should be double blind like a science experiment

livid yew
fossil jewel
#

yeah i dont think any entry level swe with just a bachelor is gonna do crazy revolutionary work at a big company unless its a specialized team

honestly i like springboot

As a new grad do you think it would be dumb to apply for internships instead of jobs ?

#

I only have 1 internship under my belt and Ik the job market is bad right now. Feel like I might be wasting my time applying to full time positions

#

I would think so since they would not even consider you and auto-reject

#

Oh dang for real ?

#

Cus at my internship about half the people were new grads

They were mainly new grads going for masters but still

does anyone know if we're still able to interview for new grad roles after we graduate? A lot of the JD says "graduate in summer 2023". so in a few months it would be "grad in summer 2024"

This is embarrassing of me to ask, but what kind of conversation topics or questions I should ask to companies at a university career fair?

#

I've applied to most of their applications online, but asides from asking questions on work culture and projects, I suffer from dry mouth and feel concern over wasting their time

shut crescent
#

but definitely talk to as many as u can, skip the huge lines and dont waste too much time on them

# errant karma Wait how did you qualify for loans

so there are 2 types , secured and unsecured . secured means you put your property/some asset on the line . if you fail to pay then the lender can legally seize that asset . you get this type of loan at a low interest rate(7-9 percent ig)

in unsecured they lend you money on the basis of some background checks(in secured also they do) . here the rate of interest is a bit high (12-14 percent)
