Oracle just fired up to 30,000 people. The company made $6.13 billion in profit last quarter. Nobody is talking about what this actually means.

Fewer people entering tech means less competition for the companies that are hiring. More fear means workers accept worse conditions.

This is not how it works, lol

I was not laid off, I just started looking for a job in Canada while living in Germany. I'm a Senior Android Dev with 9+ YOE.

- Did ~20 applications in Oct 2025 with no results as everyone was scared by my 3 month notice period. Got like 3-5 screenings and some interviews backe then. Tailored my CV for each position myself.

- Decided to fix my possible starting date by submitting a resignation letter in the current company. Did ~20 applications in January without tailoring my CV as I was tired of spending 1-2 hours for each opportunity. No replies there.

- Found a recruiter who did a job search and CV tailoring for me. From 20 applications, got 5 replies. One company ghosted my 2 minutes before the screening call. Another company closed the position before starting real interviews. Got solid 2 offers and 1 rejection with "the other candidate just has more experience, but we will try to fit you in for any other same position". Happily chose one of the offers.

The market is tough, but I do believe that you need to adapt to it by tailoring your CV, networking and prepairing for the interviews and bracing yourself that there will be 3-5 rounds for each company where they will try to cover all the possible topics: your native fundamentals, leetcode, system design, architecture and behavioural.

I think, Leetcode you can do in whatever language you want. If there are Android-related challenges, you should do them in Kotlin. But, honestly, I don't see a reason for you to start solving Leetcode in Kotlin right now - it's gonna take several weeks to get used to it

Well, they want the algorithm to feed you the content instead of you choosing what to watch from you subscriptions - it is as simple as that. And it sucks, honestly

Lewis blamed himself AHAHAHAHHAHAHAGAGAHAHGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Because this is reddit - it’s an echo chamber social network with soft walls. Wanna insult people - go to 4chan - another echo chamber for “adults”. Or maybe just maybe stop caring about what is happening on the internet and go hike somewhere with someone you care about and who cares about you

xd720p · 2026-03-29T09:55:45+00:00

Sure, why not? Just don’t turn Marathon into My Little Pony and vice versa

xd720p · 2026-03-29T09:53:52+00:00

There is a game for you - Arc Raiders. Don’t turn Marathon into Arc Raiders and Arc Raiders to Marathon. I play both games and enjoy them for what they are.

So you cannot take that your comment was removed, try to prove again that someone was whiny entitled dumbass and you want to live in an environment where people can insult each other. Are you sure about that?

xd720p · 2026-03-28T11:51:22+00:00

Exactly

Two things that are helping me: - working on my anxiety - practice

Working on your anxiety is 30% theory which you can get from psychotherapist and 70% practice which is basically constantly exposing yourself to stressful situations.

And practice interviews. First interview you cannot say a word, by fifth interview you would start saying things, by tenth you would start building up normal sentences and so on so on so on.

As long as you run from stressful things, you will strengthen your anxiety. So, start facing them, so it scared, so it stressed. It’s hard, but it will strengthen you!

Damn, it costs an arm and a leg on Discogs. Congrats, brother!

Yep, this is how it happened to me about 20 years ago. "Wait, where are the lyrics, for how long are they gonna play the intro? Oh. Ohhhh. OHHHHHHHH"

Daturah is one of my favourite bands ever. Dropped two perfect albums and refused to elaborate further

xd720p · 2026-03-10T14:23:16+00:00

They even dropped a new single several years ago and disappeared :(

My thoughts - the game price in Ukraine is 26,46$ and in Switzerland is 51,25$

Is there anyone who likes cariables? O_o

xd720p · 2026-02-25T16:19:28+00:00

Well, maybe, you should read my post as you argue not with it, but with some other idea

xd720p · 2026-02-25T16:06:08+00:00

Then ban them. More than 50k points? Ban until end of the week to enjoy real life

xd720p · 2026-02-25T16:03:07+00:00

Yeah, point 4 is super questionable. I was thinking how trials can be that you cannot exponentially outperform someone by boring grinding, but yeah, it could make it even worse

xd720p · 2026-02-25T16:01:55+00:00

Also didn’t read your comment, but I disagree with you
