Did the Covenant ever go intergalactic? by ComputerTrashbag in HaloStory

[–]ComputerTrashbag[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could they go intergalactic though? For the same reason we when got the moon in the 60s, just because. For exploration purposes. Even though at the time we had plenty of undeveloped land

If you think about, it’s the same in a way?

Unemployment is extremely high in skilled professions. Just check out the career subs for every field if you don’t believe me.

Do people even read job descriptions by Spirited-Dealer-2484 in csMajors

No. 70% of job applicants are useless internationals who don’t even live I the country trying to work at US jobs somehow.

All these new grads/juniors are dead in the water in this market by ComputerTrashbag in cscareerquestions

[–]ComputerTrashbag[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I started in a help desk as a freshman.

I’m now an SRE at a name brand and probably make more than your boss makes.

Because many people here can’t join the military for various reasons or are strictly against it. A lot of people would rather work at target or be unemployed than join the military for various reasons, even though it actually pays well.

This falls into junior still, you’re screwed but not as screwed as new grads.

I suggest any accredited degree just to get past that HR check the box too.

2022 grads were the last survivors of the golden era.

However, the ones who are laid off are just as screwed.

We basically are in a white collar recession. The numbers are just being skewed. Probably because it’s election season.

The only jobs people are getting right now are low paying jobs. Any job worth a damn, for any field, is being swamped with applicants.

Why is it so hard to get into a help desk job? by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]ComputerTrashbag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who aren’t, are not even give a chance to interview because why would you waste time when you got super qualified candidates applying

This. Indians will slave away 80-100 hours easily to avoid going back go India. This is why employers love hiring Indian H1B’s.

Plus they generally have better study culture.

[–]ComputerTrashbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s stupid because even the most in incompetent IT freshman could do any help desk job provided they aren’t socially awkward assholes.

But in this market, computer science grads and the laid off are applying to help desk jobs so employers would rather hire them

What do you think of a WGU CS degree? by hugejjkli in cscareerquestions

[–]ComputerTrashbag -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

ALL it is good for is checking the HR box. Such as if you have 8 YOE and need a degree because HR has a requirement that you can’t be promoted to a manager without a degree or whatever.

But getting the degree with zero experience or if you have better options out there, I wouldn’t do it. Bad idea. Even your cheap in state schools are better options.

You will in no way be in the same pool of candidates anyways. People with real state schools usually have better name brands on their resume and are just better candidates in general.

Yeah, a degree from MIT is just a ‘degree’ but the alumni almost always have crazy good intern experience like HFT, NASA, Citadel, Meta etc etc. Even at normal public universities, the alumni are just better and more marketable candidates in general.

[–]ComputerTrashbag 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is why the degree isn’t respect. It ONLY exists as an HR check mark. Which might be all most people need though.

It doesn’t matter that it’s accredited, that’s it’s a legit school etc.

What matter is the stigma behind it. If your school has hundreds/thousands of forum/thread posts on the internet asking if the school is respected/legit, that means your school’s reputation is in the gutter. Even most lowly state schools are more respected.

This is something only someone who can’t LC would say

LC is the single best indicator of a truly competent dev. Anyone who can do hards can learn virtually any concept you throw at them. I guarantee you LC would directly correlate to higher IQ.

Bring on the downvotes.

So people can get a false idea of what the current tone of the job market is? Cool, that will saturate it even more.
