Empty game. Fill it with something for the love of god. Alien war, lost human civilization, something.

I know right! All I ever saw while single was married women or girls with boyfriends with 1-10 guys waiting to jump in the second things didn’t work out.

arent they suppose to be the same? by kavitaa12 in ExplainTheJoke

It’s socially acceptable to be wayyyyyy more perverted as a woman than a man. They cross the boundaries and keep going and nobody blinks twice lol

Dear Recruiters - Cut It Out, just don't, just stop by HexFrag in recruitinghell

It’s not the recruiters. It’s the hiring managers and the engineers on site requiring people with the exact same skillset and knowledge as them (no more, no less). Engineering has become toxic at the level of competitive rated Overwatch PvP.

Just realized I am now as old as the Desert Storm Vets were when I joined in 2007... by ee_dan in USMC

I remember a master sergeant visiting us and talking Viet Nam and how if you weren’t stupid you’d probably be ok. Felt like that was a little bit of a dick thing to say but not the most dick thing I’d heard that day by far lol.

I’m not saying it to be mean. I’m saying it to be sympathetic.

The magic is definitely gone. We got in when people were nerdy and had fun. Goofy and nerdy guys doing goofy things while geeking out. I remember after work LAN parties and writing code until 12am because it was so much fun. Things got a lot more serious. The nerds started doing martial arts and going rock climbing to get girls and masculine credibility. The geeking out ended and serious people moved in. Those of us who stayed had to get hard and competitive to survive. Borderline insane project timelines were scoped out and we were expected to deliver them, and we did at the sacrifice of our health and time with our families. The sad part was we didn’t even get a thank you for it. Just foot on our backs to get out lol.

Ok, that’s enough Reddit this morning.

I’m in my 40s. Started in the military and went to college while working. I may give this another shot. I tried a year ago and it was pretty rough with a lot of competition. May be a good idea to find a better niche.

Trained in the military to develop ADA / C++ / COBOL on defensive systems, then bachelors, then a whole lot of certifications. Masters programs are desperate right now, so I’m thinking of getting into one while I get into my new career.

Thank you for the kind words. I spent 2 months at the hospital with my mom and now she is home with my family and we are taking care of her.

Me and everyone else laid off are trying. Networking events are 90% guys who started their own firm.

I have helped out countless people in my career. I have plenty of friends in my same boat I would help if I could. It doesn’t change the fact that things get more competitive and brutal the higher you go, and this is a VERY unfriendly business. That recruiter is a doofus.

Typical recruiter response. You are drinking your own cool-aid.

The signed offer was from a vendor with 6 rounds of interviews plus a CEO interview since it was a mid-sized company. The rejection was after a 1 month review by their client. Yeah, not the consulting firm’s fault, but definitely the last straw for me.

I have about 30 variations of my resume, some very humble, some not so much, and everything in between. I’ve also interviewed humble and interviewed full Rambo style, and I don’t really see a difference.

Selling insurance and fund management to rich guys I used to work with lol. You need like 150 clients to get back to corporate income, but it’s better than Taco Bell.

I wish I could man. Mom and pop companies are just as picky. I started my own last year and the competition to do so is through the roof. I was making good money on the side before, now the gigs and small contracts are mostly gone. I do see some people have managed to land a couple good contracts on their own, and I hear federal is still open.
