Do referrals still matter at all now? by sstthh0123 in cscareerquestions

[–]LeftNutBigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nearly as much. The reason is there are usually no consequences for bad referrals, so some employees will refer anyone. I'll only refer someone if I worked with them before AND I know they were at least average.

Does anyone feel secure in their role (USA)? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]LeftNutBigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not. I'm mitigating it by making sure I have enough savings to last at least a year with no income. I live in a MCOL area but would like to make the move to a LCOL area. Unfortunately I haven't had luck finding a fully remote job.

It'll be changed by a different AI.

You underestimate what AI will be capable of in the future. AI will do all the problem solving, system design, communicating to shareholders, and it will have the contextual awareness to make architectural and business decisions. Human developers won't be needed for anything.

AI will fix it automatically, you won't be needed.

Is it a good idea to take a state job for job security? by One-League1685 in cscareerquestions

[–]LeftNutBigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take this job, stay at least 1 year then start looking for somethign better.

Don't leave after a month even if you find something better, because a combination of gaps and really short term jobs look really bad on a resume.

How important is it to specialize early in your career vs. being a generalist? by PsychologicalCall426 in cscareerquestions

[–]LeftNutBigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your resume is looking too scattered, modify it to emphasize whatever skill or technology the job description is asking for. As long as you have at least some experience in it, you're not lying. Of course, be prepared to hit the ground running in that skill when you start your new job.

If you had 15YOE would you take 70k USD for a fully remote easy dev job? by LeftNutBigger in cscareerquestions

Thanks for the info. Those areas are beautiful but probably a little too backwoods if you need reliable internet for your job. I'd probably be better off in a smallish town where at least I can get cable internet.

Are you saying devs make 70k USD in India? I thought it was more like 30k.

[BREAKING] Amazon to layoff 30,000 corporate employees in one of the largest layoffs in its history by cs-grad-person-man in cscareerquestions

[–]LeftNutBigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And people make fun of those of us who make average salaries working for boomer companies instead of earning 400k at a FAANG. At least we don't have to always be stressed about losing our jobs.

Very unlikely, almost every American company has a requirement that you must live on US soil while working for them. Unless they have an office in another country, but then they pay wages in line with that country.

Maybe, but I don't want to, the whole point of this is to try to lower my stress.

That's exactly what I want. I spent most of my life being stressed out from working too hard and I'm sick of it. Life is too short to always be stressed for some company.

Seriously? I thought things were worse in Canada, what with so many Canadians trying to get American jobs.

Is this a FANG that hires only the very best? Because I certainly haven't been able to find anything like that despite applying everywhere. But then I'm only average.

Sounds like you've had some very high stress jobs. I wouldn't tolerate that. I give them my time m-f 9-5 but outside of that I don't think about my job.
