I do like the man, but I also think it may be my time to finally start looking to leave.

(was a real slog interviewing on the side for the past 3 months tho)

salary part works out to 160k gross, so about 100k after taxes
RSU part I won't cash in until I need a lump sum (for eg a downpayment on a house) or the fiscal climate becomes advantageous

>>103850571
when our own governments stop shafting us with unreal amounts of taxes (see above) to fund your local niggers and NEETbux, then I'll care about them

how is highly liquid FAANG stock memecoins?

>>103851094
a certain percentage of stocks vest yearly until you grant has expired
FAANG stocks have gone up more than down, it's why almost everyone who worked at NVIDIA is now a millionaire
you pay taxes on it just like you pay taxes on your salary, but less because cap gains is lower

Compared to a 401k that takes your pay away to save for when social security goes bankrupt, a memestonk will likely make you richer faster assuming you stay employed long enough to acoomulate.

Might need a new job soon. Thoughts on improving this?

>>103851115
so it's not actual yearly wage, it's a signing bonus that you pretend is your actual salary so you can dickwave to your fellow jeets

>>103850929
yeah well, in yuroland that's preferrable because cash is taxed so high and there's little in the way of loopholes with it, while there's quite a bit of wiggle room wrt taxes with stocks if you're patient

>>103850937
yeah it sucks, but that's the cost of liking the EU metropolis lifestyle more than the US one, idk
the alternative is 32c year-round in Singapore or something, which also suck in its own way

like any other stock in a widely known and widely traded company, it might as well be cash

>>103851460

obviously CGT is real and you can't avoid all taxation on stocks

Contract ending soon and I can either wait for the extension or try to find something better. Ideally I want a remote job for a us company, since the south euro job market pays like a third of the us or even central europe. From the few jobs I've applied for at burger companies, it seems I'm unlikely to get an interview.

My swe/devops friends are typically sitting on 2-3 recruiter messages on linkedin at any given time, but I haven't had one in months. It's not like I've played the linkedin game, but I'm worried that my contract is going to end and I'll end up doing something terrible like trying factorio.

Maybe I'm being paranoid over nothing and something will eventually stick, but I'd expect at least an interview. Opinions, anons? Do I need to hyperoptimize my cv or some shit?

monthly one on one with the manager coming up on monday
do i just tell him that im massively unmotivated in my current role/tasks and ask if there is something else i can do for a while?

>>103854425
you are not going to get a burger salary in Europe because why would they pay you more? Plus they have to pay taxes and social fees etc. Find an American company with an entity in Europe and work there.

I'm going to move to Japan and you can't stop me

>>103855649
There's no way that turns out good for you. Even the biggest western shills of Japan seem to come out saying Japan is just... like any other place. Gaijin have lonely lives there.

But that's my entire goal. I want to become a hikkineet.

>>103855956

>>103856017
I live in a shithole extrovert country. It cannot be done here.

>>103855956
So your proposition to the Japanese government is: "please let me live in your country to subsist on government handouts and provide negative economic impact"? Good luck with that.

>>103856081
What handouts? I have money.

>>103851420

I'm a nodev and I guess that looks like a disaster waiting to happen. can't you, like, oppose or soft-sabotage him? or maybe just wait for the inevitable downfall of that CEO (which hopefully happens before that of the company)?

>>103856242
It's indeed a disaster waiting to happen, the company has a nice IT department running tech projects and of course nobody is crazy enough to do what the CEO is asking.

>>103853638
>how was the interview process? Standard pajeetcode process + sys design or something more domain specific?
the expected pattern, but amounts/depth per domain were quite different cause it's for architectural stuff rather than generic SWE
so less leetcode and more system design, k8s, networking, linux internals, ...
overall the interviewers were really knowledgeable so it was enjoyable (if stressful, cause it's still an interview) and I'm pretty excited to start

>>103856086
a country is a house maintained predominately by the income of working-age population. unless you're Malta rich you're probably a net drain on their economy. not that Japan is even particularly known for seeking out wealth-based immigrations and is very well known for being averse to cultural friction when accepting foreigners

>>103856242
>>I'm a nodev
Why are you posting in this thread, then?

>>103856242
Bro? Your TC?

I need to deserialize and load some data structures into memory. Each one has a timestamp associated with it, but the timestamp is a calculated value... so the timestamp cannot be known until after the data has been de-serialized and fully loaded into the system. The serialized data structures come as a group, so there will be more than one, but they may not be in the correct order (by timestamp). What I want to do is load them all into the system AND have them shifted in time so that the item with the earliest timestamp is set to 0 and the rest of the items are shifted relative to that. The order they are stored in the system does not matter. The data structure does take a time-shift parameter as part of its initialization, and there is also a function to time-shift after it's been loaded. So I can think of two approaches off the top of my head:
1. Load all of them in as normal, keep track of which has the earliest timestamp, at the end calculate the difference from the earliest to 0, and then go back and shift each item by that amount. Would involve looping the list twice though... so like 2n.
2. Keep track of the current shift-to-0 amount, starting with 0. Then, load each item shifting it by that amount. If after loading, the current item would be the earliest, then update the shift amount with the new difference, and then go back and shift everything that's already loaded by that amount (including the just loaded one), and use the new shift amount going forward. In the ideal case, the first item in the list is the earliest, so it gets loaded, shifted, and that shift value gets used to initialize everything after. In the worst case though... every item comes just before the previously loaded item, so the shift amount gets changed each item, and everything loaded so far has to be shifted for every new item loaded... So with option 2, best case is 1n and worst case is a little bit better than n^2.
What should I do?

What's the deal with everyone in IT getting burnt out? Is it specific to this field particularly? Can it be fixed/prevented?

Has anyone ever been asked what git and github are in an interview? I don't know whats considered a good enough answer, I would just say distributed version control and web-based version control for github. Would that be a bad answer?

>>103859566
Sounds like canned answers, maybe go in depth?

Any Meta bros here? what's your escape plan for 2025?

>>103859075
typically the stock portion is spread over 3 or 4 years, and you get a chunk every year of tenure
so you can think of it as a contractual end-of-year bonus of sorts
whether you can ask for cash instead or not: typically not, but it depends on the company

>>103853807
you spend your weekdays answering helpdesk for 200ish users for fun? You onboard employees for fun in your free time? You install printers and set users up with MFA for fun for free? Wtf are you trying to say?

Anyone do any gig work or do anything else to make a bit of extra cash. Seems like there's a few things you can do while working that's easier to do without getting caught instead of being overemployed.

What's the most passive way to make money as a result of knowing how to program? I don't care how high the effort to profit ratio is as long as I don't have to interact with people.

>>103859566
It's good but I'd rather include that github is just one of the implementations. Most of the serious companies have their own git self-hosted.

>>103849490

If you're mystified by the material, maybe go in-person. If not, it doesn't really matter.

>>103861884
In person. When you're on the same boat struggling it's easier to make friends that way so you can help each other out.
>>103861898
Just because you struggle basic social skills doesn't mean you should hide away forever. You have to build yourself up and learn how to socialize just like you learn how to program. Don't be a chronically online faggot.

Finished my first week at the new company, so I get to post here again instead of >>>/g/utwg/.
The whole company — some 1000+ people — from upper management to the lowly office wallahs
seem to be deeply religious (protestant Christians, if I'm not mistaken).
They pray before eating, their calendars talk of God and Jesus,
and they seem to meet up at the weekends to do Bible studies.
I even had an extended discussion with one of them on the original meaning of Christmas
and it having been on the 6th January — something to do with the second coming of Jesus,
and I kept mistakenly conflating it with the Rapture.
I've never come across such a funny bunch; but by Jove,
I can't say that I don't feel welcome, nor that they aren't kind as buggery!
I'm very interested to see, how the social and office-political aspects will develop over the coming months.
Just need to keep my staunchly atheistic world view to myself...

there are few things more disgusting on the planet than an old homo lmfao. if you are actually a homosexual, my condolences. but keep it to yourself its just nasty.

its bad enough with porn addict bisexuals constantly announcing they want to fuck feminine guys. yeah most people do, shut the fuck up about it already. its a depraved behavior people have been observing for thousands of years now. every time you freaks do this, just imagine a dog excitedly pumping air. thats not far off what you are doing and what you are. congratulations you will fuck anything like a horny dog.


you should kill yourself now. and i mean this with a hunnet -- i mean this with a thousand percent.

Would it hurt me to not know how to use VS properly? I'm on Linux so it's VS Code but I hate how it needs to do a bunch of shit in the background for anything to work. I honestly prefer just keeping it minimal, it always works if I just manually compile it in the command line.
Obviously I'm talking about small stuff, I'm a C++ beginner, and I'd like to be able to use VS's debug capabilities but I hate how obtuse it is. I also see some devs like primeagen saying they used vim working at FAANG, although idk how they debugged

I and team doos RTO for daily workings. We have no such hub as in U.S. I and Krishav call location “hublets.” We must receive the wifi to do the vpn and codings from sooo many places. I have wifi from tribal broadband connectivity program. But Krishav must do the connecting wifi at train station. Sooo many people still struggle for wifi accessing. Now you will know why we call said places as hublets. Tiny hubs for tiny collaboration bit still we RTO.

I think at this point more than enough evidence has been accumulated and the verdict is decisively in - homosexuals are mentally ill and they were forced to stay in the closet for good reason. Certainly it isn't something that should ever be promoted or tolerated in public at the minimum. I'm not sure we have to go full on throwing them off roofs (though I'm not ruling it out) but at this point it's undeniable that they should be forced back into the closet and then put a lock on the door.

based. especially the asian ones (chink/jeet). they're all greedy and dishonest niggers

>>103867438
Yeah, what the other guy said: Visual Studio ain't Visual Studio Code.
In fact, they're completely different:
VS Code is an Electron app by Microsoft, extensible via a whole load of extensions. Good for web dev.
VS is Microsoft's behemoth of an IDE, developed over the past 25+ years for C++ and .NET (C#, VB, F#) development. That has your coveted debug capabilities.

>>103851420
>fell for the help desk scam
many such cases. You should be looking for a comfy job at a small private company at the very least, it's usually comfy and everybody knows each other well enough.

just like /g/ convinced retards to go for CE or EE degrees instead of CS it's not convincing them to go for helpdesk jobs instead of learning to code
I wonder how many lives were ruined because some dumb kid took that advice seriously

>>103867902
I have only ever used VS Code but VS seems to be the industry standard, which would mean it's important to learn it. Whenever I looked for Linux alternatives most would either say use VS Code or "I just use Vim/emacs". I am unemployed and learning C++ from scratch, I don't think I should deviate much from the norm, I should get used to proper debugging and all of that

>>103868162
What do you define as a comfy job? Local government? I think working in an education setting would be nice. I also have an international affairs degree (lol) and think it'd be fun to work at a think tank or something. I live in northern virginia so those are nearby. But I also am considering looking for jobs in the south. Like Tennessee for Florida, or even Ohio because it's cheap. I can do helpdesk and be a sysadmin and make enough to save and buy a home in those regions vs NOVA.
>>103868182
Assuming you meant "now convincing them" I got my job in helpdesk from random luck from a family member not /g/.

>>103868116
You got it, it's easy as fuck.

>>103868213
any company with less than 1000 wagies should be comfy enough, usually no drama and the boses love to be their own bosses so is unlikely they'll change their policies short term.
Just say good afternoon, do your job, sometimes drink beer with the IT guys and go home early.

>>103868186
It depends what kind of job you want to get. If its' writing Windows software then yes you'll probably want to learn full Visual Studio. It has integrated tools for building, debugging, publishing, testing, deploying, etc... They're all DEEPLY a part of the application. It has its own built-in git implementation even.
If you want to build for anything else though, then learn the various CLI tools for compiling, building, and testing C++ projects (whatever they are, it's been a long time since I did C/C++). Whether you use VSCode or Vim or Emacs is kind of irrelevant since all of them are just code editors and rely on calling the underlying CLI tools to do anything more complex (usually through plugins/extensions).

>>103868311
Yeah I've never worked for a company that large and have no desire to, do you all work for google/M$/FANG companies or some shit? That sounds like hell on earth.

>>103868311
>>103868182
Also me again - what do you think I should do if I'm in a shit position? I'm 30, single, have free time. What should I be doing instead? Learning to code? Isn't that all going to be blown the fuck out by AI? I want to make enough to buy a house and will work for it if it makes sense but the industry seems cooked.
Database management?
Government work?

>been doing IT admin/help desk stuff for ~5 years now

>say I am looking for $25-30 because I'm desperate and don't want them to pass me up
>position was advertised as $30 to 40
>they offer me $26/hr
I've been here like a month now. It's a lot of being on phone calls which trigger my anxiety, but the environment is laid back and cool. All the guys are nice and we do get some down time occasionally. I really want to ask for a pay bump soon to like $30 or maybe 31/32 though. Doing more work for less pay doesn't feel great, and Panda Express pays the same. After getting laid off twice though and being desperate to find any work my confidence is in shambles, and I feel like I could easily get replaced since I don't have any certs and my knowledge is mid tier at best... Maybe I'll just keep applying to actual companies instead of asking for a raise, I don't know. Thank you for reading my blog/rant.

Is there a good free plagiarism checker?
I'm doing an online masters while working full time.
I've seen a lot of students getting accused of plagiarism or using AI for their code.
I found a lot of posts on the uni's reddit claiming they didn't cheat but they get interrogated for it anyway.
It could be people just pretending to be innocent and they cheated super blatantly, but it would make me feel better if there was a way to make sure automated systems aren't false flagging my shit
I tried grammarly but it doesn't seem like it picks up on code I tried pasting off of stack overflow or geeksforgeeks to test it.

>>103869964
Make a new thread.
This general sucks. Not like the whole board is much better though

I work for a govt. contractor. The business model is stuffing up more than necessary, hiding underperformers, and getting the real work done by 15% of the actual team. The idea is that we look like we're growing and make more money because everyone is billing the client. As long as the work gets done, the client just thinks that this was what it took to get the job done, and as long as the points of contact interface with the clients nicely and they have good relationships, the client tends to be happy.

Anyway, the past while has been horrible because the higher ups overdid it even by their own standards, and this one really good dev threatened to quit and tell the client about how the company is basically taking them for a ride. I find this admirable, but wandered if that's even legal. Could my employer sue this guy for something if he did that?

>>103872973
you fuckers are why everyone thinks they should fire their IT/tech team. That guy is based and can't be held responsible leaglly especially if he leaves your company. Your client should hire a new team

Someone on reddit said they were able to get the CompTIA trifecta in 3 months. If this is the case, then I'm sure he's a horrible worker without experience.

With how roasted the tech market is , would it really matter if my portfolio site had some of my fiction and art on it as well?

I just dont want to manage multiple sites for no reason if I don't have too. Basically just my nerdy worldbuilding shit in one category of the blog pretty much is what it would be contained too

Is this a horrible no good very bad idea from a professionalism standpoint ? Or just who gives a fuck with how cooked this economy is and do it anyway? I'm not writing Lolita in space or anything either fairly common themes of struggle and strife and reflecting on technology etc etc

Is being an H-1B really such a bad deal? I'm fed up of Europe. Fuck Germany in particular, but everywhere in Europe sucks. I've done the whole tour.

My plan is to get an H-1B and marry the first decent American girl that I meet, because that is next on the TODO list anyway.

I'm wondering whether I should go to San Fransisco and thereabouts or whether I should aim for lesser known tech hubs like Rayleigh. Honestly, I just want some stability at this point.

At the same time all my skills are in the meme shit like CUDA programming for AI applications.

why are container programs like docker and kubernetes memed so hard last couple days like they're a brand new technology they're the same shit as virtual machines???

EU bros I need your take on this: I'm starting to think that pursuing career progression if you live in a non-competitive country is pointless. I'm currently close to 2 YoE and getting paid peanuts, BUT, I do 10 hours of real work in a busy week and have a ton of vacations plus no one on my back. My goal was to get something slightly better, but frankly, there is so much to lose, and I'd be moving to a higher tax bracket too. I think the strat here is to surf the wave, pad the CV with (fake) experience and prepare for something in a different country. Basically what I'm trying to say is that mid level seems to be a terrible deal, more responsibility for little reward.

>>103877505

Im American but you've basically got it down. Middle part of the career sucks. You have a higher salary sure, but you are also expected to actually perform and if you fuck it up and go back down to entry level you seriously fuck up your career. Once you get to like 10yr experience you can coast on your fat salary and savings.

The catch with H1B is that there is a fix yearly quota for newly issued ones(not for renewals), so even if you manage to find an employer who'd sponsor you, there's about a one in three chance that you'd get one at all.
The other potential issue is that it's tied to your employer, so that puts you in a disadvantaged position, but if you convert to a spousal visa ASAP that is a non-issue.
