Thread for those of us who actually work in tech to tell workplace stories, complain about coworkers and management, share advice on how to progress in careers, and discuss the technologies we use at our cagies.

The more things change, the more they stay the same

My gut instinct is telling me to ignore job postings that advertise themselves as being remote
Ayden Garcia

Ryan Harris
That's a good place to be, if you can keep that racket going. Hell, some people even work two or more jobs on this basis alone.
Landon Price
first for dying in the heat and phoning it in

How many times a year can you pull the "not feeling well today" ? I'm at one
There's no limit here but there's also the expectation that you're working weekends to catch up.

>but there's also the expectation that you're working weekends to catch up. Fucking shit. I'm screwed.

Why do so many tech workers claim to be making great money but live in hovels, drive shit cars and get food stamps? This is unironically what made me drop out of my CS degree, you fags lie your asses off on the internet but when its actually time for chips to hit the table a solid 80 percent of the workforce is making barely above average pay.
>work for inventory management >learning Python on the side (very basic) >boss notices and directs me to another team who's been having problem with their Python code >they forgot to make the code ignore case sensitive stuff >google fixes it >team heralds me as coding god >I just finished learning about if statements today Bros.....what the fuck do I do if they give me more advanced stuff? How do I fraud myself outta this?
Eli Moore

>This is unironically what made me drop out of my CS degree Retard. >Why do so many tech workers claim to be making great money Tech journalism lies about salaries, and also faggots tend to add up all the numbers on their offer letter in some sort of pissing contest about salaries.
Jaxson Lopez
>pay for referrals >still have to talk about myself Got fucked hard
cuckboy, how is the work? is it fun? how's the pay? do you enjoy it? how worn-out are your kneepads? does your wife's bf let you play switch on the weekends?
Can't hurt if you look good right? I'd never show up to an onsite interview without wearing a suit. I'm simply not impressive enough of a candidate to dress casually.
Parker Thomas
obviously

>how is the work? it's fine, prob not as interesting as real SWE but good for someone with mild autism since it's all about automating the processing and storage of data at scale. >is it fun? sometimes, mainly easy and low stress >how's the pay? not as high as real SWE but great compared to non tech fields >do you enjoy it? I guess, I work like 4 hours a week so I prob enjoy that more >how worn-out are your kneepads? my wife says we can't afford real knee pads so I have to duct tape pot holders to my knees instead >does your wife's bf let you play switch on the weekends? we don't have a switch, he said he'd buy me a steam deck but it hasn't gotten here yet. for some reason there's brown stains all over our sheets now though :/

>Can't hurt if you look good right? Allegedly what inspired musk to do the space x thing was a Russian rocket engineer taking offense at musk dressing casually to meet him and spitting on him.
David Reed
I do service desk for 30 dollars an hour+benefits. Have I made it?
Anthony Butler
Oh and I also have a pension
Oliver Peterson
>automating the processing and storage of data at scale. What do you use for that?
Blake Jenkins
Work for a big tech company or accept better offer from small startup company?
