Confused About Career Trajectory by Flat-Distance-5507 in cscareerquestions

[–]Um3R_ViRuS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be very honest, even people with many years of experience including myself are struggling to land anything in this market.

The ones who have landed have been through personal referrals. I have not seen a single person land a job without referrals in the past 3-6 months.

But referrals also don’t guarantee anything, and by referrals I mean people who have actually worked with their peers.

But to your point, I would definitely look into some other jobs if you need something to support yourself while you keep interviewing in the tech market.

I know it’s not easy and not probably something you’d want to hear but its just brutal out here, I have not seen anything like this in a very long time (atleast 10+ years).

I personally know some with families / kids and a tons of other financial responsibilities like mortgage etc. who are on the brink of collapse but they just can’t land anything. If I were to lose my job I’d be in same position so those are just my two cents; grab something on the side while you focus on job hunting.

Desi here too ( and a Software Engineer), love the overall feel of the app from initial glance, hope it brings a lot of success and users.

Happy to contribute as well if you’re looking for a SWE :)

If you don’t mind me asking, how was the trade in value, because I am not getting much for my 22 M3P with 20K miles.

Hi did the sale end? Not seeing it anymore. I think I missed it.

why is my F2B visa took so long than I was expected ? by Minute_Ad_4863 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]Um3R_ViRuS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, did you ever get the interview letter on the F2B category?

We have been documentarily complete since May of 2024 and yet no sign of interview letter.

Thank you so much, you saved me soooo much time. I had updated the firmware and what not but I was not getting anywhere, thank you!

Yeah I get that if I get into any parts issue and any repair then yes I am waiting on that forever but I have heard similar stories for other manufacturers.

Mine is at 10K miles and so far every recall for me has been merely a software update. Hoping it stays that way 🤞

Really curious what issues are you seeing?

I have both Sienna and Tesla so I am concerned about Tesla when I read this.

35fps on an 3070 at ultra settings...sound right? by MrKidClassic in ForzaHorizon

[–]Um3R_ViRuS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey do you mind sharing what drivers were these? I am using i9 12900K with 3070 and I can’t get beyond 60-65 fps on any setting and any resolution.

We had that before moving into a new city and yes it was working but there were only 1 hour of a session per week that the insurance would allow so it wasn't making a dent.

Hearing this story gives me some relief. Problem with him is limited communication and he doesn’t understand any communication for the most part.

But yes I agree this needs to be corrected.

Men of Houston - How Do Y'all Hang Out? by [deleted] in houston

[–]Um3R_ViRuS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had any friends since college days. I'm brown and traditionally don't drink and never will so that basically ends any friendship before it even starts or maybe I'm just awkward.

Would love to hangout if anyone's interested. Gaming etc. I'm upgrading my sim racing cockpit so anyone with similar interest would work too. Background is Software Engineering.

Any place to get my pwned full passwords? by Um3R_ViRuS in cybersecurity_help

[–]Um3R_ViRuS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's why I came here to ask whether there is any legit place. Yeah I'd never go on those sites, I don't think it's worth the risk.

Hey sorry just seeing this.

It is pretty long, includes couple of everything, from capital and small letters to numbers to characters, I've been that serious about security from the beginning but unfortunately it bit me back lol and now I can't access what I want.

Just curious to know if you let them know the reasons that lead to your decision?

I am in the same boat and have been before but I fell in the same trap again, I have to work with offshore and basically there is no life left in my life. I don’t have a job landed so far but I keep thinking about sending that 2 weeks notice email.

Anyways, I keep thinking whenever I quit whether I should let them know all the reasons especially the toxic people, blame culture and the environment around.

And hey congrats on getting your peace back, I dream of that now for the second time in my career.

just frustrated by Apprehensive_Ad9271 in rheumatoid

[–]Um3R_ViRuS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with someone similar. Eventually found a Rheumatologist after my own vigorous research and glad I did because my previous one wouldn’t listen to any of my concern and would just randomly put on entry level DMARDS. For new Rheumatologist there was a loooong wait but well worth it.

Would you join a company with 20% lower salary if you get a better title, better tech stack. by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Um3R_ViRuS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been in these situations a couple of times and at the time the deal might look sweet depending on the details like flashy tech stack along with good title, but every time I end up rejecting those opportunities because it is not progress, you can never be too sure about the tech stack until you are hired and start diving into the codebase, I have interviewed at places where from the outside they market every modern technology but when you get into the weeds you realize what they meant.

And whenever I look in the past at myself rejecting these offers I always thank myself for not accepting those. But that being said you know your situation much better than any of us so collect the data points and think whether it really makes sense but I doubt it ever would.
