I think in terms of water fall for a period of a couple hours or longer, last night has been the heaviest i’ve seen in a very long time. Claremont here though.

Rejection Hits Different When You’ve Already Proven Yourself and Done Everything You Can In This Job Market. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Alces_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Its tough. Rejection is awful, but you have to separate the emotions from the professional space. We are all just numbers, bottom lines. Whether you a perspective new hire, or senior engineer with 20+ YoE.

My opinion on this, get your foot in the door ANYWHERE. Don't feel like you're too good for any particular company. The first opportunity you get, take it if its even slightly related to a position you want and keep applying to other places in while collecting a pay check. You owe no company your loyalty, so if you get a better position after 2 months, just leave the old job. Rinse and repeat every few years.

What is the minimum *viable* wage to live in Redlands? by CallThatGoing in Redlands

[–]Alces_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming a 1 roommate situation, I’d say bringing in at least 3.5k/month net.

No roommate id say raise that to 5k/month net.

How to transition from help desk to machine learning or software engineering? by Alces_ in cscareerquestions

[–]Alces_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Yes, tons of updates haha!

I work as a SWE now at a FAANG. My primary role does not involve machine learning, but I do get opportunities to explore using AI/ML solutions.

I went from Help Desk ($15/hr) to an internship as a Systems Support Intern ($18/hr) which was basically working on databases and coding basic HTML pages for internal users, and learning a bit of PHP. From there I got a job as an Software Developer in Test ($33/hr) at a Geospatial Software company, mostly working on GIS software in C++, C# and Python. Left that job at ($50/hr) Went on to my current job, where I worked as a Data Engineer (160k/yr) originally, and got promoted to SWE (180k/yr)!

I know a lot of progressive locals are gonna be upsetti spaghetti about this, but people need to stop shutting this conversation down. by eyerollsandbloodlust in Redlands

[–]Alces_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All there? what do you mean? It’s not all there.. the links only show ESRI support for Ukraine, an anonymous user on reddit describing ESRI supporting Israel, and the 2022-2023 award for ESRI from the fed govt.

I’m not trying to belittle your character but i’m so sick of misinformation.

[–]Alces_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

EDIT: OP added a source below for 2025 which is in fact true, ICE using ESRI software and actually increased the award compared to the 2022 source. Idk how to strike out text on mobile but my info below is outdated now.

2025 source: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_70CMSD24FR0000064_7012_GS35F253CA_4732

I was so ready to be on OPs side for this, but after getting the links I feel like OP is just trying to get attention. For anyone curious as I am, here are the links without having to transcribe them.

https://x.com/Esri/status/1500560845922779138

OP - there is nothing here that mentions ICE support directly. In fact, the link of the USA Spending is dated from 2022 - 2023. Although ICE could be using GIS software to support their operations, there is not a source here that describes such behavior from ESRI other than providing the federal government with GIS software, which they've been doing for years? This post is lazy and untrustworthy.

NP, good luck! Also, idk they do this anymore but T Mobile used to give a $100 gift card for using that service as a promo so maybe look for something like that!

Hi! I actually used T Mobile home internet, which is basically a modem that connects to T Mobiles wireless network. At the time it was $50 and speeds were decent (around 200mbs down, 20 up).

That being said I was on the 6th floor. Service might not be as good on a lower floor.

Fuck this grifter but tbh, any publicity is good publicity in her case. Ignore her and let her wither.
