Im about to interview a breh who is asking for 120k a year salary

[Silver Surfer]

What region are you in? And what’s the avg starting salaries for a swe in that region? You seem real caught up on his ask when there is precedent for asking for that much of you look across the entire industry, yes he messed up by not taking into account regional and company prestige differences, but you can’t hate out the gate on some young grad trying to get the best compensation possible, that takes courage. Furthermore, if he was seriously stuck on 120 and that’s no where near what y’all pay, then y’all fukked up for even continuing to interview him, HR/the first phone screen should have booted him.

I’m currently interviewing for new gigs and know I’ve gotten booted from roles that can’t pay what I’m asking, much rather it stop after one convo vs. doing the whole interview only for someone to say their max is $20k less than my minimum.

good luck out there lil breh

Just started to learn Java now. fukked with c++ extensively as a teen so I could pick it up quickly. Have I made a mistake installing JDK 10 instead of 8? Lots of people are saying stick with 8 for some reason.

Reading this thread makes me wonder if it is some Form of requirement for it brehs to be obnoxious

Nah. I'm in IT, and I wouldn't say I'm obnoxious LOL

Java 8 is the one we used in my intro programming classes last Fall and this past Spring semester and we are still using in my Object Oriented Design class this semester.

I'm a dumb ass business major (supply chain) but I'm gonna make $216K this year ($180K base + $36K bonus). There is money and opportunity in corporate America for us.

at my spot we still on 8

That's nothing unusual.......Working with the government I've seen people make $$$ without actually doing work. It's amazing how people get on and don't get fired for not contributing, just moved around. Complexion for the protection helps also.

ayo no lie I'm doing this right now. Aint no work so they just have me outchea twiddling thumbs

I don't see a problem with using the latest version of Java if you're just learning. Yes, some companies use older versions of java, but you can deal with that issue when you come to it. And what happens when you're asked interview questions about a particular feature (which has happened to me plenty of times)? It's good to know the shyt off rip.

Frameworks are trash. I spent the first few week at my first job learning & configuring node & spring environment. Never used one until I graduated. We did everything manually. We couldn't even use lists or sorts unless we wrote them ourselves in our capstone class.

I wouldn't say frameworks are trash. Not by a long shot. By all means, you must learn core Java as a foundation to even know what is going on behind the scenes of Spring. But once you do that, using frameworks cuts your development time dramatically. Why write boilerplate code/reinvent the wheel when you don't have to? Plus it's a necessity if you're doing any kind of enterprise development.
If I had to interview someone and he said something to the effect of "frameworks are trash" I would probably DQ him instantly.

Market and career level matter.

Dudes get excited seeing people on here say what they make but have little to no context lol

That's going to change soon, Oracle is changing how Java works. No more Java 8 free updates in 2019 they going to that pay for play model.

I meant as far as learning the core. For example I can show someone who never programmed how to create a restful application with a jpa connection in spring in under an a hour and they wont have to write anything but some getters and setters. If I were to teach code I wouldn't focus on a specific language but concepts cause languages come and go. Im porting code from python to c# now cause someome quit cause he didnt wanna use NET.
