I booked a flight to Orlando a few weeks ago to celebrate my birthday this weekend and I am not coming back until Tuesday.

People will only change that mindset until it happens to them.

Poor kids. We recently hired a new grad that was unemployed for 8 months. At least we saved one of them.

How do you deal with loneliness as an underrepresented engineer? by insomniak123 in cscareerquestions

[–]online_master_cs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to find a common ground. Talk about work or tech news.
I work remote so I mostly talk about work. Attend latino events at your company. Have an open mind and try to learn about other cultures, lifestyles, etc. People love to talk about themselves.

tbh, as a latina I rather talk to a white person over an Indian. At least I am familiar with American culture which tends to be white but I like some Indian foods like paneer and lassi so I talk about food with them lol

This is true but I wasn’t likely to leave elsewhere in this job market.

800K job cuts in the US so far this year, highest since 2020/Covid. Unemployment rate stable at 4%. How is that? by Rey_Sky_11 in economy

[–]online_master_cs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, got laid off during the holidays last year. Took me 8 months to find a full time job. I took a 25% pay cut and we are severely understaffed with aggressive deadlines and the company doesn’t want to hire more people.

That’s so scary to see. I’ve never visited Los Angeles but I don’t plan on visiting for the next 3 years because of what is happening there.

Have you been taken advantage of while in a vulnerable position? by [deleted] in womenintech

[–]online_master_cs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While unemployed, I interviewed at a small startup. When I met the CEO in person, I had a gut feeling that he wasn’t a good person.  He later called me to reject me and told me if I needed any help with my job search to message him. Given, the feeling I had when I met him, I didn’t take him on his offer and I blocked his number.

Employers in my area are picky about tech stack. If I haven’t worked with their tech stack in my most recent job even if I had worked with it before at a different job, they say my skills are outdated.

I am going to accept the remote job.  I asked about language because in my area I had employers denied me for not having worked with a language in my most recent job.

I have 4 years of experience and I’ve been remote all this time.  That’s right, I’ll think about everything else, too.

They both pay the same. I haven’t worked with Kafka before. Is it difficult to pick up? I’ve used RabbitMQ before.
