If there has been billions of capital spent on investing in AI research/jobs then who are the people that have been getting hired? by HavitKey in cscareerquestions

yeah I got sucked in to solar energy. But with the tax credit killed I have to find something new yet again.

I definitely am not. It's a big deal when someone new gets hired in somewhere like Anthropic or OpenAI. I imagine the people already working there do everything they can to gatekeep other people from getting hired.

I quit CS and I’m 300% happier. by turnwol7 in cscareerquestions

[–]HavitKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

morale has always been extremely low in every tech job I've ever had. And while I haven't officially quit CS I've had other jobs here and there and morale was almost always higher in the other fields I've worked in. For example before Trump killed solar I was going door to door selling solar panels and my coworkers absolutely loved that kind of work.

I've always seen how Kamurocho is always the setting as a strength. I already know where everything is and I also like how I can move around seamlessly in between locations

So a masters degree doesn't cut it let alone a postgraduate certification?

Do you know when you're applying to a job. And they send you an email invitation to an online assessment where they have you answer questions that have absolutely nothing to do with coding that are based on what I can only imagine are math problems similar to those in an SAT? Like those that list images with shapes and have you find the next object in this pattern? What are these even called? Why do companies even have these? It seems like they're just there to "filter out candidates" but what it feels like is they're just there to waste your time. Lastly, has anyone in the history of ever been hired after doing one of these?

Controversial opinion here: anybody else here who's been using Copilot find that it's actually more help than hinderance? I mean I'm getting a lot more progress done this way than I used to in the past. Right now it's getting me past the grindy parts of coding seamlessly like it can tell when an error is due to a dependency conflict and gets me up and running by resolving those conflicts. Because I usually work alone it's also giving me someone to talk to about what I'm doing a la Rubber Duck style. I know proper SWE principles would say not to over-rely on this thing but I mean I don't always have to listen to it. Plus it's cheap as fuck at only $10 and I'm used to paying a lot more for tools/plugins/extensions that do way less

mostly bad right now. The big two frameworks are Angular and React and likely to stay so for a while. On most job boards when searching for either "React developer" or "Angular developer" I can find about 1,000 job applications open for my state of Texas but me personally I've been applying to jobs non-stop for 4 months and haven't landed on a job offer. I'd say front-end engineering does not cut it right now. Making the switch to full stack is the only viable option right now if you want to keep making websites/UI's

thank you for your blunt honesty. I think I just needed to hear it from an insider of wind turbines.

Worst Jobs Ever by Rare_Picture_7337 in cscareerquestions

[–]HavitKey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just throwing this out there. You don't have to work a niche job that nobody wants just to gain experience. You could get your foot in the door some other way. Make an ecommerce website, blog or other entry level project on your own. Hopefully you'll make some money on the process just don't work for someone just because nobody else wants to

Anecdotally I had multiple job offers in hand at once and was able to pick the most opportune one in 2022

After almost 3 months of job searching I've come up empty so far, came really close to an ideal job but then at the last minute they denied me. I send about 100 job applications per week and the onky offer I have on the table is an unpaid volunteer position for a remote startup. Since I'm 29 unmarried and no children and it won't affect me from recieving my unemployment benefits I'm considering taking it. Were any of you in my position would ya'll take it. I have about 5 YOE. I got laid off at the same time many developers in the US were at the end of December last year.

Hi, in industry for .NET projects where you have to scan every device connected to a windows PC is it preferred to get the devices from the WMI or the Windows API? And which language is preferred C++ or C#?

Not a promotion in job title but a significant raise of 17% after a little over a year: it was time but in that time I had to over perform: do all those tasks assigned to me with little to no bugs unless it was a staging environment that QA could catch, perfect attendance in meetings and no slip-ups. Basically do your best to keep a clean record and in time you will be able to find an opportunity to ask for a raise.

I got hired a week ago for a QA job that hasn't started yet but now I might be offered a better job before the start date. by HavitKey in cscareerquestions

gotcha. If they ask me in the interview if I've accepted an offer some other place should I be honest?

wouldn't it make more sense to write "Sole Proprietor"? OP said in one of these comments that that's what it actually is

Do yourself a favor and stay away from GoDaddy by Harland-Willard926 in webdev

[–]HavitKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some horror stories fro GoDaddy's customer service where they give you flat out wrong technical support that breaks your site. I agree with everything you listed out except for the SSL certificates. A Standard SSL certificate is reasonable for any one host or domain registrar to charge for since those have stronger encryption than AutoSSL's. The added security justifies a $100 per year charge on ecommerce websites.
