EnergizerFellow posted:As for Netflix specifically, even with a historically optimistic P/E of 20, there's just no way Netflix can grow top-line 10x, even in theory. The crash will be fun and hard. they definitely can. netflix has tremendous room for growth. it is not unthinkable to imagine a world where virtually all adult households have a netflix subscription the problem with netflix is not p/e or earnings, it's the monstrous debt load. they've got 4.6 billion in just regular ole debt, and ~15 billion in contracted obligations to rights owners that's a lot of debt for a firm the size of netflix to manage especially when you consider they are likely to need another billion dollars in debt next year, and another billion after that, in order to further build their content library

Schadenboner posted:FTFY. Do not invest in individual equities, everyone at the table knows more than you do. even if you think you are a genius stock picker, don't hold your employer's stock. that poo poo is just dumb you already have a huge stake in your employer in that you depend on them for a salary. don't double-down and also hold your savings in their stock. that is the opposite of diversification when you lose your job you don't want that to be the moment your investment account loses half its value

Like if you're forced to use JavaScript because some oval office went loving retard with the company's infrastructure several years back then that's forgivable, but to be intimately familiar with the inner workings of that language? Avoid like the plague imo. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

im unemployed gonna look for a job in june, hope to find one by august i think i should use some of the time to learn new skills. assembly language seems promising. what else is cool? hdl? i don’t want to touch web or business database stuff ever in my life if I can help it. I’ll keep you updated on my unemployment status. getting goodbye happy hour tacos and margaritas with the firmware team in 13 hours. having a totally unknown future career is the happiest and most exciting I’ve felt in the last two years btw. I hope I can maintain self discipline and keep slacking off under control.

Since I started maintaining non-trivial OSS project I get to fight with a compiler bug every 2-3 months. Not that reading ASM helps  For real, if you are working in language that compiles to native, you should be able to at least muddle through short pieces of ASM. Not sure I'd think of it as a selling point though.

Expect your job hunt to take longer than you think too, although it's refreshing to put your resume out there and gauge exactly what employers actually think of you when all your chips are down.

meatpotato posted:gonna look for a job in june, hope to find one by august That's a plan for fail. Recruiter activity ramps up hard in mid-December to get people interviewing/hired by Jan 1st and steadily builds through March. After March things fall off rapidly for the rest of the year until next December rolls around. Your search and interviewing process will take longer than planned as well. Unless you're in some super hot specialty, expect the hunt to take 3-6 months.

feedmegin posted:Hi how are things in 1995 man, life in 1995 is great --my savings account has a 5.5% apy, my parents arent divorced, all my grandparents are alive, and i saw the view from the top of the world trade center last fall when my family took a totally-average-for-1995 annual vacation to nyc. in all honesty I probably won't get *that good* at assembly --intel or people at llvm won't be knocking down my door any time soon. also, assembly language isn't going to be a thing that makes me stand out when i apply to jobs, especially when most new CS grads will gracelessly throw assembly on their resumes because they took a quarter-long intro to programming class that used the LC-3 to do an integer factorization assignment. asm is a piece of the computing stack i haven't really explored before and it seems interesting. I like doing things involving real hardware and i also like learning about computer security so assembly kind of fits into those themes. it's not really about the job search. EnergizerFellow posted:That's a plan for fail. Recruiter activity ramps up hard in mid-December to get people interviewing/hired by Jan 1st and steadily builds through March. After March things fall off rapidly for the rest of the year until next December rolls around. interesting take. I bet the recruiting cycle thing applies more to larger companies with cyclic financial plans than smaller ones without that structure, but what do I know? Regardless, I don't know what companies I will be applying to in six months so I'll remember your advice when nobody replies to my resume.

The Management posted:no one should be allowed to program a computer professionally without a basic understanding of assembly language. ehhh, i don't know if I agree --maybe, but it depends on the definition of basic understanding I like to think I have a "basic understanding" of assembly, at the level of: there is a stack, there are some registers, here are some opcodes but gently caress if I know which registers are used for what, what the calling convention is, or any opcodes besides mov, add, or jmp. But I'm a bad programmer lol. I'm trying to get a "working understanding" so I can write something beyond a hello world without needing to consult a reference manual for every opcode. edit: I should start posting in the spare time projects thread instead of this one

I wish I knew more about reversing; the ceo of a infosec company sort of near me gave me his business card a few years ago and I keep it in a textbook. Originally when I applied to that place their system auto-rejected me because I had dual citizenship at the time.

i dont share stuff like this at work but i need to celebrate a little - last week i got an un-requested 15k raise that just pushed me over the line into the land of 6 figgie. which is great, i can throw it all at student loans and have them done in 3 years. and i actually like my job, have great teammates and actual work/life balance - 9-5, inclusive of hour lunch! the thing that's really blowing my mind is that i was at 55k just 2.5 years ago - and 2 years before that i was depressed and unemployed for over 2 years (my secret when asked about that period: "i was taking care of an elderly family member until such time their condition deteriorated and more professional help was required" - people get so nervous about mortality and the infirm that they usually don't ask further questions). it can be done! but now im expecting some giant health issue to show up out of nowhere because i honestly never believed i had a shot at anything but quiet suffering as a wage slave. anyways. CoL can vary widely in cities - I'm in Chicago which is supposed to be on the high side but my rent is only $750 in a great neighborhood with the only amenity I'm lacking being in-unit washer/dryer. commute on train is 40 minutes and at this salary. now if i wanted to live in Lincoln Park or something, yeah it would be harder to save, but outside of SF even high CoL cities can be gamed pretty well if you arent a keep up with the joneses type edit: oh, and huge credit to this thread and the other nuggets posted over the years - i'm pretty sure asking "when was the last time you took PTO" got me hired - the hiring manager had never heard that question before, and she mentioned that she encourages her team to use sick days if hungover and to make sure they use up sick balances by end of year. that was a strong signal as to their culture, and it correlated very well with what i've seen here on the job. thank you for materially helping my improve me life.
