elfin flint
rain patio
#

they require teachers to have a masters and all this experience and then pay them peanuts

#

schools are basically daycares lol

elfin flint
#

btw I hate kids

rain patio
#

and parents get mad at teachers when their kids get bad grades...i know some teachers give bs assignments, but most are pretty reasonable

For the people that graduated in may or summer, that have been working on stuff on the side to try and appeal to these employers, what have you guys built? I've gotten zero bites on any of my apps except c3 and goldman (who didn't pass me to second round cuz i was 2023 not 2024 grad lol)

pseudo wagon
#

@elder forum sorry to @ you lol but wanted ask something real quick

#

and done like clean architecture projects

#

tbh I'm not entirely clear on it yet lol, but it is used in entreprise

#

like involved in testing an stuff

#

ohh damn

#

btw what is your tech stack?

#

do you primarily use python? Java?

#

ohh I see

#

so you are a full stack/ frontend engineer?

#

nice

ornate cliff
#

which part is python?

#

Flask? peepolove

#

I've done Flask and am now doing a Django project

pseudo wagon
#

@ornate cliff mo wht is ur tech stack?

ornate cliff
ornate cliff
#

MVV, not as API server

#

it's shit

pseudo wagon
ornate cliff
#

I'm trying to turn it into an API server and start using React for the frontend

pseudo wagon
#

r u tryna get into full stack?

#

how do u feel about flask vs fastapi?

#

In one of my interviews my interviewer was grilling me cus I didn't build my own api cus I used fastapi

#

yea lol, I find fastapi easier to work with

ornate cliff
#

no?

#

who uses fastapi?

#

isn't all of python single threaded?

pseudo wagon
#

yeah that's probably it

#

he said if I had to improve it how would you do it

#

and I like did a mini system design interview session

ornate cliff
#

oh true... I was thinking of parallel which is impossible in python

#

mb mb

#

Django by "default" is MVC, don't even need to make APIs 😭

#

interesting

ornate cliff
#

it's still not parallel sad_cowboy

#

I didn't realize Django learning curve is "steep"

#

true, the ORM is such a godsend

ornate cliff
steep wind
#

what’s ur experience like

pseudo wagon
#

it's just when I did a load test on it over 40% of the requests failed

#

so to the interviewer I told him I could use kafka as a message broker so the system doesn't get over whelmed

blazing flame
#

why is python so fun to use

#

everytime i code in Python it sparks joy in me

pseudo wagon
#

dam

blazing flame
#

JS doesn't

pseudo wagon
#

It was part of the job desc lol

#

i did it on my project

#

not really, but it was in the job desc so I felt like I should include a load test in case they asked for it

#

and they did

#

yeah I did expect a huge failing number lol

#

the way I wrote my backend meant it couldn't handle a huge load

#

so I also told them I could split the backend script in two so that it can handle a bigger load

ornate cliff
#

throw it into lambda 😭

pseudo wagon
#

sad boi hours 😦

ornate cliff
#

why did they fail btw? shit was timing out or something wrong with implementation?

pseudo wagon
ornate cliff
#

that's my assumption too... sounds like a load issue

pseudo wagon
ornate cliff
#

oh

ornate cliff
# pseudo wagon

so they executed with wrong output? or did they timeout? I can't tell

pseudo wagon
#

I see

#

makes sense, that's why I'm learning to create apis using c# now

#

cus with python idk you can't really do too much with api

#

it integrates really well with azure

#

and I'm trying to create microservices and do apis for them

ornate cliff
#

well... why was that stuff failing tho

pseudo wagon
#

yeah lol

#

for testing c# is go to

#

my friend in intel did c# only

#

and fiserv only does c#

#

no python or java at all

#

but c# is the primary language for .net tho

#

and .net is very closely with azure

#

tha'ts why thoe companie use c#

#

at this point idk lol

#

I'll try to get better 😦

#

4 interviews in smh

#

hiring manager likes me

#

but I'll have to see if they extend an offer

fallen fox
#

what role?

pseudo wagon
#

basically a contiunuation of my co op

#

with out me having to move to europe this time

fallen fox
#

i applied to their roles multiple times lol got rejected

pseudo wagon
#

and I had work experience there too

#

this it the only one that responded back to me

fallen fox
#

pseudo wagon
#

#

my broke ass, no job, unemployed and can't get interview ass is being currently carried by my gf lol

#

forest scarab
#

the past haunts me and ldr doesnt give me that much reassurance as in person

honest steeple
#

we are all young

#

if she taking shit out on you then its not worth it

#

everyone gonna tell u to just hold out but man just think abt what you wanna do for yourself

forest scarab
#

anyone wanna give me relationship advice 🥲

pseudo wagon
#

break up with her

#

There is no salvaging this relationship from what I can tell

#

Just focus on your career

steep wind
#

why does she make you miserable

pseudo wagon
#

she's a disctraction and can potentially make your mental health worse

forest scarab
#

breaks dont work tho?

#

yeah my mental health has been much much worse since dating

#

2 yrs

#

eh still rocky bc of past issues

steep wind
#

what past issues

#

or you dont wanna share

willow sedge
#

do u already know what you wanna do with the relationship and just want validation on that decision?

forest scarab
#

uh she liked my friend first and wanted to go on a date with him before with me so ive always felt like second choice. and this happened a week before we started talking

steep wind
#

i see bro

#

theres not much we can say or do to get rid of your anxiety

forest scarab
#

also they were housemates for a bit so that fucked me up

steep wind
#

but

forest scarab
#

am i just insecure

pseudo wagon
#

100%

#

just leafe

steep wind
#

I think its a valid anxiety to have

forest scarab
#

ty 😭

#

also we were all friends so its hard for me to think back

pseudo wagon
steep wind
#

if you guys are long distance rn

pseudo wagon
#

I've had many close friends who came and left in my life

steep wind
#

is she close to that friend?

forest scarab
#

yeah but im saying its hard for me to get over bc i know about her past history/interests

#

and i dont wanna think about that

pseudo wagon
#

friends shouldn't determine your life trajectory

vital meteor
forest scarab
#

not anymore

steep wind
#

i see

#

bro just know that

#

whatever happens

#

you just werent good enough

#

and all you can do

forest scarab
#

we would hang out in a friend group and seeing them interact tgt fucked me up

steep wind
#

is get better

#

so stop thinking about it

#

and just improve yourself

forest scarab
#

so do i break up

pseudo wagon
#

I've been there as well

forest scarab
#

and is it me problem or

steep wind
#

its not a you problem

#

there are things you cant control

pseudo wagon
#

in the end that girl cheated on me, on the guy and another guy from a different country

#

girls like her are more trouble that it's worth

forest scarab
#

if a relationship doesnt bring u peace then its not worth

#

ty ill try

#

i needa start gymming

#

vital meteor

ornate cliff

golden agate
# forest scarab ty ill try

I'm so stupid smh

the reason my docker compose file wasn't working is because my docker desktop wasn't open

#

didn't need chatgpt to figure that out

rain patio
#

oh yeah i use docker at work now lol

#

i just start docker desktop and then run whatever code i need to test, and it somehow just does all the work for me? idk lol

#

cloud zinc
#

Whats wrong with looking for other jobs while you're employed? Dude probably hates the work environment at 'zon

tardy geode

no you won't get , i have been in that situation

#

if remote then yes

but if hybrid then its still kinda okay a bit

#

BUT

#

if 3-4 days rto then rip

wary hawk
#

ornate cliff
#

I'm doing some now

oak kite
#

so initially i wasn't getting shit, auto rejected, stopped applying for two weeks, i put in like 72 hours into my resume, and i started hearing back

ornate cliff
#

But how does it pass bg check?

oak kite
#

How does upwork work?

wary hawk
#

you should get the contact info of the company that hired you

oak kite
#

I want to do something meaningful after i graduate whilst looking for jobs

ornate cliff
wary hawk
#

that counts as a reference or evidence, then also just your tax/pay slip is enough

oak kite
ornate cliff
oak kite
#

Oh damn, job market was even worse back then wasn't it?

ornate cliff
oak kite
#

it just now starting recovering like a month-ish ago

wary hawk
#

I earned over $150k using my account on upwork from 2019-2022

ornate cliff
oak kite
#

but are upwork willing to give out contracts to new grads?

ornate cliff
#

Yeah it's someone I know so it helps

wary hawk
#

my account got banned, and most of that income is from outsourcing jobs to foreign senior devs

oak kite
#

Oh damn, rip sorry momo, ill def do what I can to help out a fellow Discorder, also Canada rocks so

ornate cliff
#

Pays me through Upwork

oh i see, yea i mean, it'll be better than fucking retail that's for sure

wary hawk
#

true

oak kite
#

Dude im also losing my mind, im walking in 9 days fml

ornate cliff
wary hawk
#

its also good for the resume if you dont have many internships

ornate cliff

oak kite
#

walking to my grave LOL

oak kite
wary hawk
#

I've been unemployed for 8 months lol since I got laid off from my dev job

oak kite
#

bruhhhh, may 2024 be fruitful for everyone on this server

#

dude damn, why tho

#

that's wild

#

are you in canada too?!

#

dude fuck man, we would all be getting paid so much if we graduated in 2020 or 2021, people were hiring Software developers for fun

#

it was just like "the fun" thing to do lol

wary hawk
#

i'm graduating in March 2024 i'm a US citizen living in USA, I had savings so traveled in SE Asia with my girlfriend for 6 months lol and just did school

oak kite
#

people on Reddit were like, "Delay graduation until 2024"

#

oh i see

#

you should be okay then, job market has been recovering according to this website i bookmarked, it's on my other laptop tho

wary hawk
wary hawk
oak kite
#

yes, exactly, it's mainly entry level applications that are getting f*cked

wary hawk
#

true and junior

oak kite
#

oh nice, that's whats up

#

yes

#

sigh

#

take me back to pre covid D:

wary hawk
#

and front end/react seems fucked

#

lol

#

but maybe not if you have experience idk, I guess I'll find out soon cause i applied to over 100 front end jobs yesterday

oak kite
#

i feel like front end isn't hard, a lot of bootcampers prolly flooding that area

#

I only have two research experiences

#

i should've done an internship last summer but i was visitng my ex... didn't turn out to be the right move lol

wary hawk
wary hawk
oak kite
#

that's fair, thats what i think too. Yes there are a lot of applicants but i mean, realistically speaking how many of them are "good" candidates. I go to a decent school with a lot of smart people so

#

yea 😦

#

all them moms telling their kids to go into computers smh

wary hawk
#

true

#

In like 5-10 years I bet its gonna be way worse if salaries remain high with how many kids are good at coding

#

at the entry level at least plus AI and outsourcing

oak kite
#

hmm idk

#

i heard a lot of the software engineers in the states spend time fixing code that has been broken by outsourced developers

tribal rampart
#

Is anybody here good at negotiating offers? Need some advice on how to go about doing so

oak kite
#

so a lot of companies are slwoing down on outsourcing

wary hawk
#

there will still be influencers and youtubers and a nice remote friendly high paid lifestyle. That is going to continue to attract more candidates

oak kite
#

that's fair, but at the same time, the metaverse is growing exponentially

#

that's why i want to shift my foucs into cyber as soon as i break into the software industry

wary hawk
#

my company replaced their engineering leadership mainly in india and over half the dev team, I think remote friendly companies like mine are going to keep outsourcing

oak kite
#

also, them youtubers are like less than a % of the developers, cause a lot of people to be delulu

#

Hmm, that's fair too

wary hawk
oak kite
#

Indians are hella smart, it's wild lol

wary hawk
#

lol yea I mean theres so many its very competetive

oak kite
#

like not even trying to generalize. Their education system is ridiculous and all the smart people i know are mostly Indians

wary hawk
#

but also many are bad of course so hard to outsource, but can be done properly

#

I was in philippines a long time, they speak great english and IT is growing there. Salaries are insanley low. idk how many programmers are being produced every year but there are going to be a lot of great foreign programmers in the future in poor countries working for low salaries

oak kite
#

Dude yea thats why people want to come to the states

#

my friend movd to the states (visa approved) same job title same responsibilities, her pay tripled moving from Lonodn

#

London*

#

It's just that the companies/branches in the US are willing to pay more for you not fucking shit up

wary hawk
#

I plan to hire filipino programmers in the future for a game idea I have lol cause my wife is from there and salaries are so low. Minimum wage is 11 dollars a day there and engineers earn like $1500 a month at entry level

oak kite
#

I also feel like people in the states are very career focused as opposed to countries in Europe/ Latin america for example who are more focused on having a fun/lesiure life style

#

damn that's wild

#

yea them 3rd world countries are different

#

In Colombia, Doctors make $400 USD a month

#

getting into faang is hard tho D:

wary hawk
#

I bet most 3rd world countries have bad education systems, but people have computers and can self teach programming

#

swe is in the USA is paid so high idc if its a joke career lol

yea hahahhaha

bro

#

it's not mindless lol

#

idk i think coding is cool

wary hawk
#

working 20 hours a week after a no leetcode or easy/medium leetcode and earning 150K+ in a chill senior dev remote job is a good lifestyle yes

oak kite
#

i dont think leetcode is mindless as people think, do i like it? Definitely not

wary hawk
#

you dont even need to be good at leetcode to get decent jobs lol

oak kite
#

i mean his attitude will def get him there lol

wary hawk
#

I had a $90 an hour job last year no leetcode needed

oak kite
#

dude why are you so pessimistic

short lark
#

which company is that i need to know

wary hawk
#

I mean I got laid off its not super easy but its possible

oak kite
#

nah im being realistic

#

i said 5-10 years

#

I already know people making good money in software.

#

I dont think theres luck in keeping a job for 5-10 years

#

dude i think you're just pessimistic

#

no offense

#

i mean, my dad had his job for 34 years so

#

same company

#

and been promoted many times, so it's definitely possible

#

my friend works at google so i mean you're just not a happy camper rn

wary hawk
#

if you are good at interviewing and apply to tons of good companies at some point in your career you will get offers from many good companies on levels.fyi IMO

oak kite
#

yes

#

and once you get a job, make a meaningful experience out of it, it's definitely possible

#

and i mean i wont get into salary details but my father does make north of 150 yes

wary hawk
oak kite
#

i mean yes tehres a lot of developers who go into job and try to do the bare minimum

wary hawk
#

so you gain skills or to put on resume

oak kite
#

but if you are actively seeking to learn trying to be involved in more projects

#

and actively seeking exposure to new technology and tools theres no reason why it's not possible

#

nah it's just because they are way too comofortable

#

dude theres no real point in debating with you

#

sounds like you want to live a meme life, and that's great, you do u

wary hawk
#

yea I mean often doing all your work early just gets you more work and no extra money lol

oak kite
#

yea you can also get clearances to get fat bonuses

wary hawk
#

or more money to work slow because some companies finish a project and fire you 🤣

oak kite
#

hm that's not at all what i said lol

#

and yes, i am prepared to meet dissappointing chapters in my life

#

i actually feel a bit sorry for you, hope you are able to see the brighter side of CS/life in the near future mate

I hope AI takes over the world

#

And saves us from ourselves

oak kite
#

i don't think that'll be plausible, it'll always just become a more efficient tool

rain patio
#

Once AI can learn on its own like a human can, I bet it will improve dramatically

#

It will be able to improve itself so fast too

#

As a regular old human, I can think of ways to improve myself, but they're often tedious and slow. Like reading stuff over and over and hoping it sticks

#

Even AI as smart as a child will quickly learn and turn into a turbo god level genius

#

they be sitting on an AI god

but still AI could't actually do stuff

The scary thing about AI is that once it's smart enough, all it has to do is convince people to do stuff for it

half flicker
#

dogesmile what if we are doing it right now, how can u tell?

rain patio
#

It could instruct people how to design a sophisticated body for it, or maybe just ask people to continuously upgrade its hardware

#

It's pretty easy to convince people too...what if the AI pretended to be a god or something and convinced a few engineers that they were specifically chosen to help the AI and that they would be given power and positions of authority once the AI completes its goal of taking over the world or something

#

Or what if the AI figures out that specific sound frequencies can hypnotize people and it starts playing audio to manipulate people

#

Man the more i think about it, the worse it gets

#

Idk if we can possibly win if AI is sentient and decides to go against us

Aside from projects ofc

# mellow glade How do I show jobs that I haven’t been completely lazy since I graduated? Like w...

id say projects lol but u alrdy mentioned it.
I guess leetcode and if u wanna share your leetcode profile but i highly doubt they will check it LOL but if u completed like a lot and show a lot of activites, maybe it might help? (but idk LOL they might choose to give u LC problem that you havent solved haha)

You can also make ur own personal portofolio website that shows that you are constantly making shit. make sure to constnatly commit some shit and stay active in github if possible. (join open source if u r cracked like that)

I was thinking more like shitpay jobs that are easy to get into but still advance ur experience was a software engineer. But it seems like personal projects are the way to go
