Dude channel interesting as fukk lol, verbalizing a lot of the observations many of us have made
I work with a ton of white boys like this. They always realize after it's too late their whiteness won't save them.
:mjlol:
I pay close attention to the amount of Indians being hired overseas or upper management. The minute that ratio gets above a certain threshold I'm out the door. I'm not waiting around to see what might happen like these Cacs.
:heh:

Is this just affecting the big companies or the entire industry as a whole I thought job growth projections and statistics are still up

Across all sectors since 2022 but mostly from tech companies.

I don't want to gatekeep. Look into government contracting. Your job will not be outsourced and you don't have to compete against AI(Another Indian). Roles mainly require you to be a us citizen. I make 230k and work 40 hours a week. fukk big tech. Where you have to constantly worry about layoffs, work more than 40 hours a week and the carrot on the stick is RSU's and most don't even last long enough to fully vest.

24 making 70k in NYC L2 desktop support still in school for a CIS degree meetings at work boring environment seems to be dysfunctionally functional herding some offers for 95k at doing essentially same work MSP like work which is fine since current gig is direct hire for consulting. Tryna grab this MD 102 cert and then AZ 104 to pivot into higher roles and potential hybrid roles immediately. Got 5 years under belt basically being the One man show at small construction company newly role for last 5 months exposes me to enterprise technologies but already can tell ceiling is much higher than this.

Any advice on certs, cloud adjacent roles, higher paying roles, cloud adjacent roles, higher paying roles,

Based out the tri state as well brehs
Tryna get outta this first enterprise Environment asap

Arcadium talking about how they throwing Sarah Bond (Black woman) under the bus for the Xbox failures after last week's leadership decapitation.

You cannot trust any of these folks no matter how much you 'play the game'

Facts. Several Black folks I know who “play the game” have gotten laid off over the last year.

On that high horse you’re on, it’s a shame you’re unaware of the many different levels of accomplishment that exist.

Everything you’ve said so far has been telling cats to learn tech trades of various types. But you don’t realize there’s a level of innovation that exist. What do you know how to do well that very few people can do? Taking a course on a new tech only means you know how to follow the instructions on how to use a specific tech routine, that someone else built.

An inventor. A creatively talented individual would never brag about the accomplishments you have been yapping about in this thread.

So far you’ve told folks to learn xyz. But what happens if xyz is no longer valuable? Learn a new tech trade? And then what? You see where this is going right?

I don't discuss learning a "tech trade," I push learning the hard skills behind all of it so you can position yourself to win outside of any trend.

Only speak on tech and some finance because that's what I'm most familiar with.

Again, all of this doom and gloom (what if this happens, what if that happens) sounds appealing to losers but it doesn't lead to long-term financial or career success. You can say all of that about any field and any activity. I'm proposing solutions, not just complaining all day and looking to wallow.
