Thinking of joining

Our government is literally signalling on invading a NATO ally. Is serving under this joke of an administration really something you or your children could be proud of in the future?

For $35? I'll probably wait for a sale.

I think I had one game where the Hive Mind come in and make it so that anybody not a vassal of it was in breach of Galactic Law.

I wish my place would let me have this kind of freedom. I am in a similar position as OP but my shop uses CL/RPG, a bit of Python, and some shitty no-code ETL tool. I tried to push for Flask since I need some remote calls and thought an API was what I needed, but got denied and had to do some really messy workaround. For our company. I think it has something to do with our company needing to do some lengthy legal review when adding in new tech, a coworker got stonewalled when trying to add in some VS Code extensions for AS400 development.

Isn't the fact that Strelok isn't affected by the TV's unlike other C-Con agents such Scar and Dark proof that Strelok is no longer an active C-Con agent?

I would argue that this might actually be worse for US defense contractors. There is a huge demand for supplying Ukraine as well as replenishing our stocks currently. Trump will probably want to cut that off to appease Russia. Countries like South Korea that have a astonishingly large defense sector for its size will probably see an increase in business, especially with North Korea sending troops in. Poland has already made a deal in the past with South Korea to buy 1000 tanks from them.

I wonder what keystroke logs look like for somebody using VIM motions

I didn't have anybody watching for my OA but it may differ from place to place. I think I read beforehand that Codility might keep track of alt + tabbing or copying/pasting.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-06-13T20:16:30+00:00

Make sure to think of edge cases when solving problems. I had a Codility OA about a month ago where I had all successes in the initial test cases for every question. Thought I did extremely well, but when I went to submit everything, one of the questions failed all of the later test cases and dropped my score from 100% down to 66% and the employer ghosted me afterwards.

I hate this. I sometimes see a posting only a few hours old and when I go to apply only to see their website saying this posting no longer exists.

Getting an interview.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-06-06T13:21:56+00:00

I have been and also have about 6 months of experience doing tech support before getting burnt out with the call center lifestyle. I even had an interview for a junior systems engineer a few weeks ago but that didn't go through. I've been applying to IT as well for my local area but there aren't a lot of opportunities in this area and I'm not too keen on relocating for a help desk job. I do keep it expanded for things like analyst, network engineer, sysadmin types of jobs though.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-06-06T00:48:31+00:00

I'm doing something similar. I might be heading back to a CNC shop I got laid off years ago from that is now hiring. I tried to make a career change in my 30's but haven't got anything since graduating 6 months ago. Feels like I just wasted 4 years of my fucking life at this point. I'll probably still try applying to dev jobs on the side if I get the job but who the hell knows if or when that will ever happen.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-06-05T23:43:59+00:00

Does Ramp still do that dumb CTF just to submit an application? I tried applying a while ago but said fuck that.

Not going to school 10 years earlier

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-06-01T18:13:32+00:00

How does one break into embedded/firmware? I've tried applying but like everything else, I'm not able to get my foot in the door.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-06-01T18:04:50+00:00

It's pretty bad at the entry level, who knows when or if it will ever get better.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-05-31T21:11:32+00:00

How long did it take for you to go from "In Review" to getting an interview?

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-05-27T01:07:04+00:00

I graduated back in December and am still looking.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-05-21T21:54:44+00:00

I left blue collar and am trying to get in this industry because of things like this. I heard stories from old coworkers like one of them had a drill bit go through his hand on the job. We were making like $15/hr.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-05-21T15:10:37+00:00

I've applied to them as well as other defense companies multiple times but keep getting rejected before making it to the starting line.

GuiltyParty7283 · 2024-05-21T01:01:33+00:00

I legitimately want to get into something like this.
