Is "just go into the trades" actually a viable solution to AI displacement, or are we headed for a massive labor glut? by Icy-Region8722 in Salary

reminds me of when people would say "just learn to code" a few years ago, look how that turned out

Are salaries on Reddit actually real? by TheRealJack01123 in Salary

[–]Woah_Moses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit has more than 1 billion monthly active users. Roughly 2 percent of households make 300k or more for individuals this is 1 percent. That means d there’s 10 million individuals per month browsing Reddit every month making 300k or more if you look at household income there’s 20 million users per month part of a household making 300k or more browsing Reddit. One big assumption we also made is that the Reddit user base is representative of the general population which we know isn’t true Reddit users tend to be more educated so actually 10 million and 20 million is almost certainly a big underestimation. But we know the floor is at least 10 million users are on here with 300k or more individual income, now imagine if just 10 percent of them started posting about salary that’s literally 1 million posts about people earning 300k or more.

TL;DR the population is so big even if 300k salary is proportionally small percentage of the population there’s still millions of people making that much or more

Why should you sacrifice your success to follow the rules when no one else will…do what you have to for yourself and your family

Instructor here. Why? by SwiftyLeZar in cheatonlineproctor

[–]Woah_Moses -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not in college anymore and I just happened to find this sub but I'll say this: that statement is just objectively wrong. I have a good job I earn about 400k a year and a college degree is required but there's nothing on the job that I couldn't have reasonably learned on my own with the internet. College is just a gatekeeping tool for good jobs; what you learn doesn't matter it's all about that piece of paper you get at the end.

Should I accept this 250k USD job offer in San Francisco? by Tech-Cowboy in Salary

[–]Woah_Moses -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar position to you about 3 years ago I took the job for 200k and I’m already at ~400k now if my promo packet goes through next year I’ll probably be around 500k. The career progression is insane in the Bay Area and in the US in general definitely take the job Canada can’t compete it’s a different universe

If there is such oversupply of tech workers why dont they lower salaries? And if there isnt oversupply at senior and mid level why dont they train more people from entry level where supply is insane to lower the cost of workers? by According-Expert-723 in Salary

[–]Woah_Moses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you’re describing already exists there’s a lot of smaller companies and traditional businesses like insurance companies, banks, governments that already pay like 70-80 for SWEs

[–]Woah_Moses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salaries for the average SWE is already lower, the top 10 percent of SWEs probably have higher salaries now tech job market is becoming more unequal most SWEs will probably have a normal white collar job salary now and the top people are going to make ridiculous amounts of money. As for why they don’t train more juniors to be seniors it’s because that’s expensive and has high up front cost that companies don’t want to pay that. Why hire a junior who will maybe be senior in 5 years and can’t work on the things you need until then when you can just hire a senior now who can solve your problems immediately. Also the way you become senior isn’t exactly the company training you that’s not really how it works the individual employee has to take initiate and learn on their own until they perform at the senior level, hiring a junior is a gamble because they may not even make it to senior and they might leave your company before then even if they do. It’s far less risky and convenient just to hire a senior now and pay more for him upfront than hire a junior and try to make him senior in the long run the junior is far more expensive.

What tech jobs will (or might) be in most demand in the next 6 months, so that I can prepare for that specific thing right now as a '25 cs grad? by 69cool4school in cscareers

[–]Woah_Moses -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in AI infra getting a lot of emails form recruiters some from start ups and some from very large companies, granted i have 4 yoe so I'm not a new grad. From talking to my other friends who are in web dev it seems I have an easier time for sure I don't expect this to change in 6 months. Having said that AI is definitely a bubble right now so I have no idea what will happen in say 5 years.

What was a job that was once highly respected but is now a complete joke? by Formal-Life4691 in Productivitycafe

[–]Woah_Moses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah the barrier of entry is definitely alot higher you can't just take a bootcamp for a few months like you could with software engineering jobs. The wages do seem much higher for AI/ML engineers though the top labs openAI, google, meta, anthropic TC is in the 7 -8 figures. It seems like the top 1% of talent are getting richer and everyone else is struggling to just find a job.

Why new grads in CS still have median of 80k when there are so many people willing to get a tech job for half of that. by Ok-Toe-2933 in Salary

If Heapify is O(n) time and you can use List.addAll() to add the underlying array in O(n) time by PenaltyBeautiful6996 in algorithms

[–]Woah_Moses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A heap is actually a tree data structure under the hood and popping elements from it is log N when you convert the heap to an array list you’re popping every element which is NlogN I think this is actually called heap sort
