Tech Job brehs be losing...smh

[JT-Money]

Without saying too much about my specific background, getting into the cleared space is one of the best things you can do in tech. For years I would see people on various subreddits dedicated to cs careers/coding/software engineering look down on the consulting, government contracting, and defense jobs. Everyone wants to chase the big tech companies. The thing is the consulting, gov contracting, and defense roles often push you towards cleared opportunities.

You don't have to worry about competing against H-1B workers since you have to be a citizen. Then on top of that you have citizens who can't qualify due to their background or even want to attempt to qualify. Once you get it you can even go to the big tech companies since they all have cleared opportunities and they give you a cleared bonus. Age discrimination really isn't a thing in cleared roles either. I regularly see much older engineers gainfully employed where big tech is a more an "up or out" model. Big tech brings in young people, chew them up, spit them out and only retain the top performers through RIF(reduction in force) or by not hitting a new senior title by a certain period.

I think Republicans are going after this space next. They did it 10 years ago and got rid of thousands of Federal contractors. You're only really safe if you're a Federal employee or active duty personnel.

WHY RECORD THIS AND UPLOAD
IT ON THE INTERNET THOUGH?



​

Really don’t understand how this generation be moving. Yes, many of us have been laid off and know the deal. And yea, it’s gonna be a cold video call when your ass is remote

I had a lay off in 2023 due to a manager trying to push me out. Was out of work for 6 months. Glad I saved and negotiated my severance.

I returned to a company that treated me very well and got in a different role with a high salary. I recently turned down a role that would give me 40K more in earnings because I was unsure of the company culture vs being at a company that has always been good to me and also having more social capital.

These are trying times for us and I feel for black people in tech now.

She should be outside dealing with the real world working 5 days a week in office so she could find a husband. I use to run into a lot women on my commute to work now the game is being pushed online. These ladies turning into femcels cause they never outside working remotely.

TLR’s ability to dumb down and attack women on any topic strikes again

Stupid bytch

She needs to get off the internet. Ain't no company want someone who moonlights as YouTuber. 3k for mortgage is expensive, does anyone know where she lives? It can't be on a coast because in one of her videos she said she lost a bid on a house for 320k. I bet it's cheaper to rent than buy where she is at.

I'm not a programmer, my background is in electronics but I dabble in programming and worked closely with programmers.

I think it really depends on what you and what you wanna do you know. From what I learned (at work, from people and college) python is the best for people starting out especially if you don't have a background in computers I guess.

We started with C, also we dabbled in python, SQL, and PLCs. I'm continuing with C/C++ because that's what I'm familiar with and what the job I want to work in with deals with (SCADA traffic systems) from what I heard.

Thank you for the response brother. I appreciate that!

Make $100k plus for 6 months and get fired or laid off...

Why did she record this?

 

[Gloxina]

Why did she record this?

Well, it was a smart move for her; she started a successful YT channel

 

[RageKage]

[He Who Posts Well]

Every industry is getting killed at the moment. Average unemployment range is 6 months I’m at month 3 and it’s completely vacant. Job postings are fake at this point

The Financial and Energy sectors are still hiring. But they want industry experience usually unless you have a referral. I've even seen people get hired at datacenter companies.
