i was under the impression data science could help you predict products and shit

#

like trends and stuff

#

is that not what people use data science for?

#

I always wanted to see what I could come up with our data at work

#

because we have like 6 years worth of orders

#

oh i see what you’re saying

#

i know we have like a director level guy who does analytics and shit

#

but i don’t know if he actually uses anything fancy

#

i think he might just be like “did this do well last time” KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

#

i’ve definitely heard this sentiment before, I think in my data mining class in grad school haha

i don’t think many of the profs were white

CS too wooshHD

my dsa, emag, and electronic circuits were all women

#

anyone in calgary who knows how tech industry is there?

#

I've seen quite a few companies on LinkedIn that have offices there, e.g. Neo

sonic coral
#

And yet getting into entry level sec is still a bitch

#

Because they want experienced people

#

No sec is a diff level

#

Wayyy easier to get swe vs sec

#

Yes

#

Yeah I mean like they want people but also they want experienced people

#

It’s a catch 22

#

I’m looking into pivoting into sec from swe in the future maybe

#

Because trying to get into sec directly didn’t work out lol

#

My org is sec adjacent at least

#

I took intro and web sec in school lol

#

And got sec+ and did an reu in netsec lmao

#

The issue with entry level sec is so many companies advertise glorified sysadmin shit as entry level sec

#

Security+, research experience for undergrads and network security lol

#

My dad was a sysadmin for a long time and that shit is so fuckin taxing for jackshit pay

#

I mean it propelled my dad from random odd jobs to middle class living lmao

livid yew
sonic coral
#

He read an IT book, got a certification, and then got his foot in the IT door with a basic technician job

livid yew
#

Tbh I don't think many places enforce the RTO

#

AFAIK nobody here tracks badge swipes

#

Maybe I just don't know about it

#

Probably some secret

sonic coral
#

Sec masters doesn’t really help unless you’re trying to get into academia imo

livid yew
#

They they don't tell low levels like me

sonic coral
#

G is team dependent

livid yew
#

But how do the employees know if their swipes are tracked

#

I bet I could hack into the system dogesmile

sonic coral
#

What you know is whether or not your manager / skip cares

My manager doesn't know shit

Hell he goes in less often than me

I don't meet #1 requirement for clearance

Well there’s a lot of people here who aren’t citizens

#

Clearance gets a FAT bonus at msft too

livid yew
#

How fat

#

100 grand?

#

200?

sonic coral
#

Like they get a completely separate clearance bonus of like 25k a year or something

livid yew
#

25k is peanuts

#

That's like 20k post tax

sonic coral
livid yew
#

Oh Microsoft has sign on?

#

I didn't know

#

Sign on DN

sonic coral
#

Also it’s variable, the clearance bonus starts at 20% and goes all the way up to like 30% I think?

livid yew
#

Perf bonus is nice

sonic coral
#

So yeah fat ass bonus just for getting a clearance

livid yew
#

TC go up

sonic coral
#

But I mean there are downsides to cleared work if you get stuck in one of the airgapped offices

livid yew

@grim ore

$25 is insane

At a mom and pop place

Pay more for delivery, tipping and the food isn’t in its best condition when you get it

I pay like 18 for pizza

obsidian crater

Food delivery isn't worth it

You have a car right?

I also don’t see the point in eating out more than at most 3 days a week unless you’re meeting ppl

livid yew

Even 3 is much for me

#

I door dash once every 3 weeks or so

west egret
#

Yeah that would be the high amount

livid yew

It's a treat for me 😄

west egret

Regular would be more like 1-2

obsidian crater

It's insanely expensive now

Fuck y'all and carbs. I'm gonna go bake chocky cookies

I don't really want to learn a front end framework

livid yew

Why JS

sonic coral
#

I used to be underweight and that shit sucks man

livid yew
#

For nft

sonic coral
#

Constantly cold and tired

obsidian crater
#

Because it's a web app

livid yew
obsidian crater
#

It's a blockchain app

#

So it's basically a normal web app except the backend runs on the blockchain

#

front end still has JS KEKW

#

I have to use some JS library to connect my front-end to the blockchain stuff

livid yew
#

Ok this dish I made last night, even better reheated

sonic coral

Nah bro like I’d be cold in bed after laying down for too long when I was underweight

livid yew

meh JS isn't that bad

sonic coral
#

Like regardless of the temperature outside or inside

obsidian crater

C++ is far worse than JS

#

All my weight is in my thighs dogesmile

obsidian crater

Carbs don't make you gain weight. Eating more calories than you use makes you gain weight.

#

And? Carbs don't inherently make you gain weight. Eat foods with fiber in addition to carbs.

#

You're going a very indirect path.

livid yew
#

Bro my weight goes between 174 and 182 in a average day lol

#

Yep

#

Which is why I always take morning measure

But hemoglobin A1C are used to measure on average what your blood glucose levels are

Idk what you just said

ACM ICPC is a programming contest

It's like leetcode on heavy steroids

Also you basically have to use C++ to have a chance of winning

does anybody know if insurance can reject coverage if you’re looking for a job?

#

or like if I have big event, then get a job 2 weeks later,l and quit, does insurance still cover me?

ok I am watching the new Avatar tonight

#

I heard its like 3 hours 💀

golden agate
#

As a movie reviewer, I have to say, watch something else lol

livid yew
#

I could finally watch Dune or Tenet

#

had those in the list for a while

golden agate
#

I'd say avoid Tenet

livid yew
#

no I am Christopher Nolan simp, so I will watch it

golden agate
#

I am too. He's my favorite. The Prestige

livid yew
#

it looks pretty

#

you went to a theater during COVID?

golden agate
#

I'd swap Dune for BladeRunner 2049

#

I saw Tenet in the theater and hated it

grizzled bronze

I forgot what the first Avatar was about

livid yew

bro 2021 was like bad covid

people stopped wearing masks and getting tested

grizzled bronze

the new dune is amazing but just don’t expect a complete story

as a dunehead i liked it a lot

I have the book series on my to-read list

#

i feel helpless , hopeless and confused

#

i have no motivation to do anything

#

I feel i have put my heart and soul in this process but nothing is happening

#

i am mentally exhausted , and stressed . I am somehow coping but day by day its becoming difficult

#

even when my resume matches with the job description , i get rejected .

#

its hard to get sleep nowadays , i am at this since the past 8-9 months . Idk what's wrong i have even got my resume reviewed so many times , been reaching out to people . networking and what not

#

it took me a lot of hardwork and efforts to reach where I am today and I am still at it but this trash market is making it impossible to get anything

Drink some beer and chill

tardy geode

thanks for your advice , i appreciate it but i am not in the mood for a beer . infact i don't even drink .

grizzled bronze
#

Are they making up fake skills/experience though, because that can bite you in the interview

grizzled bronze
#

It's supposed to be challenging right now, but you gotta take care of yourself too. Talk with friends, find some hobbies.

Don't put your life on hold for a shitty corporation, live your life

maybe try for jobs in canada, or uk, or germany, somewhere where we don’t have an awful sponsorship process, and transfer back after a year or so

prisma flax
#

try hired.com and some of these which helps in getting you place for a small fee

grizzled bronze

Try to get counselling, I can't imagine how hard that type of situation is

obsidian crater
#

indeed it sucks

#

all my homies are at FAANG meanwhile

#

they didn't even get laid off

timber rock
#

Yeah I get that it sucks to leave the country

grizzled bronze
obsidian crater
#

indeed

timber rock
#

But what I mean is if he doesn’t get a job and has to leave, the chances of getting back in without a transfer is close to 0 so it’s a good idea to have other options

obsidian crater

I'm just jelly

It's really not

might make a tier list of application portals lol

grizzled bronze
jovial latch
#

you can add paylocity to f tier

#

as for workday, its b tier if they have a linkedin apply, probably a c or d tier without

timber rock
#

workday instant f tier just because of how popular it is combined with having to make a new account every time

jovial latch
#

smartrecruiters gets a tier with linkedin apply, probably b or c tier without

#

having to manually edit my work experience is a massive pain

grizzled bronze

my resume parses mostly fine...depending on the portal

Tbf I'm biased towards one-paged application portals

Especially biased against portals that ask for an email confirmation every time

There is no reason that an application portal should keep segments of a job application if they're not gonna look at it

being international rn is like the worst thing possible in the job market

#

shit's bad

obsidian crater
#

ye, I'm trying to get a research position or a gig through contacts

#

It's really bad but I'm hoping to survive until the market recovers a little bit and I can get some offers

teal canopy
#

you on OPT?

obsidian crater
#

no

#

I graduate May end

#

My OPT start date is July 31

teal canopy
#

so you got some time

obsidian crater
#

ya

teal canopy
#

mine starts at june 1st

obsidian crater
#

If I'm gonna get deported I'm travelling to Philly on the way

#

Gonna have pizza with Techie and leave for the gulag

#

Dude June 1 absolutely sucks

#

I'm sorry mane

teal canopy
#

i know, but i had an offer that was a slave contract

obsidian crater
#

shit's rough

teal canopy
#

and they wanted me to have mine start by june 1st

obsidian crater
#

so you're not getting deported?

teal canopy
#

after looking at their contract, i bailed out

#

it was soooo bad

#

basically a bootcamp to hire

#

i only get paid once i pass the interview with their clients

obsidian crater
#

Lots of those out there

#

I try to avoid them

teal canopy
#

yea so now im left with a bad OPT start date

#

and no job

#

where do you look for jobs tho

#

OPT is for new grads, H1B is after OPT

obsidian crater
#

OPT is essentially guaranteed work permit for 3 years as long as you have a job

prisma flax
#

I saw a company where I need to pay them to train and in return they would help me get placed( which again I need to give interviews)

teal canopy
#

you make that sound too easy

obsidian crater
#

H1B you need a job offer and a sponsoring employer PLUS there are only a specific # handed out each year so it's up to RNG lottery 💀

teal canopy
#

^

obsidian crater
#

I mean you can't get a green card automatically lol

#

So it wouldn't matter what country Naruto is from

prisma flax
#

H1b is luck and for populated countries that's the best they get

obsidian crater
#

They'd still get yeeted if no job

teal canopy
#

and this is based on the fact that you have a job in the first place lmao

obsidian crater
#

😭

#

Mane once I have 3 years of work experience

#

I'm getting the fuck out of here

teal canopy
#

fr

obsidian crater
#

Maybe

#

or somewhere else

#

You see my bro is a US Citizen

teal canopy
#

3 years and aren't u eligible for green card

obsidian crater
#

So he can file for a green card on my behalf

#

So I gotta wait like 20 years for that maybe lol

prisma flax
obsidian crater
#

vagina diff tbh

teal canopy
#

how many apps y'all submitted so far

obsidian crater
#

You see if I make $150K as a dev salary in the US I'm not even close to rich

#

If I make $30K as a dev salary in India I'm filthy rich

prisma flax
#

gonna work in Europe after my 3 years work permit

obsidian crater
#

I can hire a maid to clean my house everyday and shit

prisma flax
obsidian crater
#

worth less than robux tbh

#

#

yeah

#

for upper middle class people

#

my family used to pay our maid like $15 a month KEKW_RECESSION_EDITION

prisma flax
#

maids are supper common in india

obsidian crater
#

Me too, but Indian homes don't usually have dishwashers

#

People do it cause they can

prisma flax
#

with half the pay here we could live like a emperor in india

obsidian crater
#

Bro she only worked like an hour a day

#

At our place

#

Not 8 hours

#

no I was a kid

prisma flax
#

for 8 hours work it's around 10-12$

teal canopy
#

bruh

obsidian crater
#

India's minimum wage is starvation

#

It's actually $2.16 a day

#

lol

#

Or $65 per month

#

🥜

prisma flax
#

get your imagination down techie

obsidian crater
#

And that's for full time real jobs

#

Our maid was like 40

teal canopy
#

ngl indian devs are cracked tho

#

if they were able to speak english, they'd all put us outta business

obsidian crater
#

They can

teal canopy
#

yea english is a big factor

obsidian crater
#

Harro techie do I pushha za cod to za masta banch

prisma flax
#

most of the Indians can speak just fine

teal canopy
#

that's mostly because we see middle-high class people

obsidian crater
#

Kindly give me your info so I can sell you these Apple cards

prisma flax
#

idk most of them don't wanna get into trouble here so they are way too polite and get's that habituated

obsidian crater
#

hahahaha my boss at my internship would swear all the time

#

He'd be debugging some code and start shouting fuck Apple

teal canopy
#

tbh writing down that you can speak two languages on a resume is an L move
cuz recruiters are gonna think you suck at english

obsidian crater
#

Fuck macos

#

Fuck C

teal canopy
#

C or C++

obsidian crater
#

I like C

prisma flax
#

I did that in an interview 💀

obsidian crater
#

C++ is better than C but it's like 2000x more complicated so

#

C is small and clean comparatively

#

Not a lot of gotchas

prisma flax
obsidian crater
#

eh

#

I avoid C++ unless I need to because it's so complicated

prisma flax
#

I never wrote a single line of code in c++

obsidian crater
#

I think with C++ I have perpetual imposter syndrome

#

I feel like I never know enough

#

Because there's always more to know

#

C++ is for low level or HFT bros

prisma flax
#

I wrote a lot of code in c tho 💀 it was my primary lang back in day

obsidian crater
#

C is great

#

My college taught in Python, JS, C and Scala

#

I probably like Scala the most out of all those

prisma flax
#

I went from c->java->python etc

obsidian crater
#

Scala is the inbred child of Python and Java

#

Scala 2 and 3 are so different though

#

It's absolutely insane how different they are

#

It's like C++ 11, completely changed the language

prisma flax
#

how does scala looks too clumsy ?

obsidian crater
#

Idk

#

I only know Scala 2

Graduated in August 2022

woven berry
#

holy shit bro, thats a lot of places to apply to

#

you got some sort of database for these places?

cloud zinc
#

nah, I ballparked the number

#

7-10 apps a day would do that to ya

woven berry
#

but you still looking right? is it too competitive or wut?

cloud zinc
#

the thing is, I graduated right before the layoffs and hiring freezes. Had an analyst role from AWS that I would've killed at the interview stage, but they dropped the role

woven berry
#

I see. Yeah these layoffs and freezes have sure done a number on the new grads. Thankfully for my area of interest is not that bad

cloud zinc
#

A large amount of those apps was me fucking up the interview stage, I'm not gonna lie. But like 15-20% roles that were cancelled due to the layoffs

#

of course I'm still looking

woven berry
#

I see I see, are you looking to make 6 figures for ur first job

#

or something close that if not exactly 100,000

cloud zinc
#

Not even. My original goal was 90k, but I'm willing to go as low as $65k+

woven berry
#

Feel that. If you want some guranteed roles you could try the government lol

#

and the pay for them is above 65k

cloud zinc
#

Can't do gov roles, since most of them require a clearance of some sort. As for defense, I'm still waiting for CAE to respond to my interview back in February.

woven berry
#

yeah thats what Im saying, apply to an entry level role

#

get your cleareance

#

and it will open up the market to much higher paying jobs

only thing that sucks about them is the darn process

it takes fucking forever
