Management material

>Finally landed a full stack dev job on a old school company with comfy real people not brain dead scrum masters
>Company sold to a bigger chinese company
>Only 6 months passed and we already have the bugs around on middle management positions
fuck me

it ok sir no big deal you now just apply to join googlers. And when asked about your past experiences they say : who you work for? bing bang boom!! its google guys. Even if there was bad experience in that past at least were going to move forward in future and grow quickly. It also gives u chance to impress them by solving few interesting technical problems in house during interview processas u r from small tech start up guy..

Snob's Jobs & Knobs

sneed

Anyone?

>Junior Backend Developer
>6 months on the job
>Barely get assigned anything
>Spend most of the day doing nothing
And no, I'm not incompetent, I do everything I get assigned, I rarely, if ever, get stuck.
Is this common? At this point I want to actually work

Pretty common depending on your project/maintenance area specially if you are starting.

Some company's dept. have extra budget and they prefer to hire just in case even if they don't need another person right now.

Wait for a year or so and move to another.

Start upskilling. Learn some cloud shit and start stacking certs there.

Shit sucks user, and they keep hiring. Just got 2 more hires recently. I could easily be doing their job right now, but I'm posting here.

Yeah I need to find a project to do on my own and get out of here

Spend some on leetcode too. Let the company pay your interview prep. Don't be like the faggot in the previous thread always begging his boss for more work.

lol i had a friend quit a job cause of this after 8 months. i was like "just relax" but it really got to him.
plain and simple, most people ARE incompetent and most of them are managers so that's why you aren't getting assigned work.
if you are competent then you can just start browsing jira for shit to do and then people will be like "omg self starter!!!!" even though you just did two things

Yes is like a pyramid scheme because regional gov. usually pays them for each hire and at the end the newcomers end up leaving by their own after a year or so.

I started as a junior on a company that did the same but fortunately for me I ended on a "good" project and learnt a lot but some friends of mine were doing nothing for a year or so until they moved to another company.

Just work on your own projects, keep as a prioritary any bullshit the company throws on you (is should take little time) and cash the check at the end of the month, I know is shitty but take it easy eventually it will get better.

...

Anyone? is there any way to be a good product owner and not become a meme?

>most people ARE incompetent
Not me so far. Like I said, I haven't gotten stuck, I just do what I'm told, sometimes there's a bug or two, but nothing unusual or big.
>and most of them are managers so that's why you aren't getting assigned work.
The team lead isn't incompetent at all, he's one of the only ones who knows what he is doing. I just don't understand why he's forced to hire so many people.
>if you are competent then you can just start browsing jira for shit to do
I don't think it works like that here. I straight up asked my TL yesterday for an issue and he said he had nothing to give me. I'm not just going to snatch work, don't think I'll do the team any favors.

i'm just a junior but seems like a lot of stress. hope you like meetings and explaining stuff to business types

You need to let go of coding. Be more organized.
Know your product well. Identify the scope and requirements. You need to knoe the agenda and action items for every meeting so that you will not waste time. Learn to take notes. Don't be afraid to ask clarifying questions. Learn to say NO.

>Not me so far.
Didn't mean you.
>he's one of the only ones who knows what he is doing.
He is probably a competent dev but has no actual leadership experience or intentions of being a mentor to juniors.
>I just don't understand why he's forced to hire so many people.
Upper management's idea of "throw bodies at it"
>I straight up asked my TL yesterday for an issue and he said he had nothing to give me.
In that case, if you are looking for stuff to say to cover your ass, I would research related tech and teach yourself something. When they ask "wtf are you doin?" you can tell them that you researched or looked into x,y,z
