at the same time good chefs are getting paid way more than engineers and traders have starting salary comparable to senior engineer and stupid rappers and hookers make more than all of the above combined - conclusion is life is not fair so

It's good to see so many of us are in this boat and people notice it. Every company I've been in is always over engineering and overly complicating simple things. I think the solution is switch fields into something you like and m

if you do it to older jobs you have and not the current one then it's very possible and no one can tell or try to find out, so just go for it, many people do it

you must be a recruiter for sure

by eanthy 7y ago
Just apply straight to the companies, recruiters always trying to find whatever benefits them most and it's never in your interest.

Majority of coding tests are extremely unrealistic anyways and you never use any of it in real world. Let's say some fizzbuzz or fibonacci or whatever else. I've only had 2 realistic interviews where they ask you to code some micr

Don't be afraid to speak your mind to them and ask them whatever you want. They only treat you as a resource so why not treat them the same? Chances are it's some former waitress with 2 months experience in recruiting that learnt

literally all recruiters ask you about your salary, does that mean they are all MPC?

by eanthy 7y ago
That's a good point and illustrates the hypocrisy of recruiters very well. You are right that applying straight to the companies without a middleman is probably best way to go.

How does the politics and whatever people are saying affect your day to day life though? If you can make 10k a month there and buy a flat for 15k, in a few years you don't even need to work anymore. Why would you not even consider livi

Do you think there is even point wasting time on personal projects for passing the screening process when in most cases it's a phone call and based on that I pass or fail the initial screening?

This sounds fair, but in most cases recruiters treat you as just another potential resource. Even when I ask they never send a feedback and if I don't pass the interview they never even call/email. So usually it's me analysin

I will ignore how untrue that is for now and tell me why is it the same situation in university CS/engineering courses too then, 99% is men? Tech doesn't even make as much money as other industries such as sales/recruitment s

what you said can be applied to literally any job. Not a valid point when it comes to tech in particular

No idea where you are but I almost never see DS jobs which don't require PhD at least for proper companies.

by eanthy 7y ago
Only place in industry that requires a PhD is Data Science. How interesting what you do there is depends on the company. In most cases as a Data Scientist you won't be doing much coding. Otherwise if you want to go in any other softwar

I don't think there is anything wrong with gender difference in subjects. Psychology for example is 95% women. Some professions are naturally more interesting for men other for women. Don't see why policy is trying to fore women i

no idea how you have CRUD apps interesting, it's always the same thing just different tools/application. The most mindless work I've ever done really

that's very true, every job will eventually become a chore. I guess working on the motivation highs is doable, and then do only enjoyable things on the lows

this plays a huge role yes, but seems to me that finding remote work is quite difficult

our team is very separate and even if you do anything it goes unheard. Also I can't make myself care that much about a project which is not mine. If that's something that benefits me personally yes, if it's something for the

I agree with this, but when you get drained all day on mindless tasks, you want to go home and forget all that rather then jump straight into work again even if it's interesting own project
