if I posted an anonymized version of my resume would y'all be willing to spitball titles/salary ranges I could seek out? having a lull at my job and while I do really love it I also do think that I could wring a few more decifiggies from the org. thinking about taking some time to do some applications and maybe get an offer so I can go to my boss and say "these people will pay me X, I really do think you should be paying me at least X-N" or something

hey I'm not even making it to interviewing: where does one look for jobs nowadays

I got put on welcometothejungle which is pretty good but also thin on actual postings. the postings themselves are of higher quality but I'm only getting like one a day

linkedin is garbage, indeed is mildly less garbage, I am painfully unaware of the rest of the options

from my understanding a startup would be unlikely to want to hire me but maybe that's just the really early stage ones, I'll try that out

no, people should hire me. I'll debase myself, will you??

thats absolutely bonkers...is your place of work OpenAI or something?

id assume most peeps in the US dont know that waterloo is also a top tier school thats like getting 300 applicants from CMU or Stanford (but not MIT or Harvard, ya know, good schools)

is stanford no longer at the same tier as MIT for CS?

and when did harvard get up in the same strata?

the only person I know with a harvard degree was the CLO at my last job who had a doctorate in "education leadership" and was useless

similarly the only person I know with a degree from MIT got a masters from their business school and was, well. an MBA lmao

unrelated, i have discovered that i don't like linkedin at all. what a horrid website. i hate working. who tf are these people and why do they post like this.

any time I'm on linkedin it's like I can feel one half of my brain calcifying while the other half turns into a sludge and starts leaking out my nose. possibly the most miserable website imaginable

most of them are scumbags who will spam you with EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES of 3 month contracts in Nebraska for years to come

I'd take these at this point tbh

the one good thing to occur lately is that more entry/middle-level engineering positions seem to be opening up, since applying for senior roles is a wash so far

related, since not everyone posting on discord is posting here: I am in dire need of a position, mostly a python toucher with like five years of experience... teaching bootcamps and bootcamp-adjacent material :(

if you have a dev position or something that might suit that background (I think I could make a decent technical writer or something) let a fella know. can send u a resume if u want

post up a resume for tips here or in the bfc thread. iirc lockback who posts in bfc and not so much here hires touchers, i formerly hired touchers, we can give you tips

How many you applying to? Got your automations set up so you can apply stupid quick? Linkedin on point and being used? What about your bootcamp students, add em on LinkedIn and see if their places are hiring, maybe they can get a referral bonus for referring you so theyd be motivated and itd greatly increase your response rate.

enough people have given me resume advice, much of it conflicting, that I'm frankly tired of it lmao. but yes all the other poo poo is set up and going

many of my former students are more than willing to refer me; the issue is that I am a reasonably competent person, but on paper all I am is a teacher. I know that I can work in a full dev environment even if I've not done it before, but convincing people of that is a reasonable challenge

yeah, my preference for concrete numbers talkin improvements evaporated in recent months as me and my boss got 1200 resumes with LLM-generated blathering of that kind. at this point, I'd just make an LLM-generated one and do the opposite or something

so my resume should be a .md file that is entirely in lowercase, uses terrible IRC shorthand, and shows disdain for the entire process

(oYo), and whatever salary you're thinking of? add 12 percent

e: I'll make it color PETSCII for 18 percent and fully remote work. talent like this doesn't badge in

hi I'm still looking for a job and poo poo Sucks

am wondering if not having a B.S. in CS is hurting me. I know most places don't care but there are a few that do, and I wonder if a glut of bootcamp program grads plus the rise of LLM horseshit means a MS is the way to go

my friend got his MS from WGU in like a yearish by essentially grinding at it like a motherfucker, which I could do, but gently caress me I don't want student loan debt again?

how much experience do you have? if you’re talking about going to boot camps then i’m guessing not much. the market outright sucks right now especially for entry level people. i’m not sure a masters will help

I took two years of CS as a second bachelors before I dropped out because it sucked, and ended up at a bootcamp myself. I've been teaching this poo poo for like five years and I've met a number of people who are like, yeah I'd hire you, but we're (in the middle of being acquired/trying to reduce headcount/panicking at the C-level because our president is a moron/only hiring local to california).

like nominally I'm somewhere between junior and midlevel it's just a matter of getting to a god damned interview and talking to a human being about it

experience teaching at a bootcamp is going to be treated as worthless, because too many bootcamps pumped their hiring statistics by hiring students that failed to get a job to teach their next wave of failing students

what if I was the exception tho

not that it matters, my previous employer got bought out by perdoceo and I can only assume the brand's rep is insanely negative at this point

If you're below mid-level then you need to be willing to move.

I live in chicago and I have a mortgage with a 3.3% rate, selling would be ridiculous

chicago's not as big a market as the bay area but there are plenty of postings
