i'm definitely seeing how/why old people get left behind technologically. my company is always rolling out a new tool, it's like any company who prospects us, the enterprise team is buying their software. i don't care to master a million different tools, stop force installing this shyt on my computer, i'm not learning anything else 😩
Yeah the "wear a lot of hats" mentality gets old after a while

This is one of the biggest issues with my organization. Something that seems as simple as implementing a sharepoint rollout caused hell cause the old cats don't care to learn and they resist every update. We had cloud storage providers swapped recently and gave months of warning.

Wouldn't you know people put it off until they lost access to their old info and now wanna get mad at us. 2 months of warnings, followed by 3 months of reminder emails, and then 3 months later tickets coming in.:bryan:

No, the tech industry is not on a downward spiral because you lost your recruiter job at a tech company. That company just slowed hiring and left you without a job.

The recruiters are first. Then they’ll start cutting into the meat and sometimes into the bone. 2023 not looking good…

How did you get in this field?
What are the education or experience requirements to enter in this field?
What are the keys to succeeding in this field?
Found out that I’m the runner up :skip: For the Presales role I interviewed for. They lowballed me. Told them they gotta pay to play:dame:


still interviewing with other companies for Presales and AE roles. If I get all 4 that would put me at 28k a month net

I have a 9th grader, brehs. :mjcry: She's taking an intro to computer science course, so I'm excited to see what she will learn. Our school system partners with the local community college, so my goal is for her to graduate with both her high school diploma and associates degree.

Even if she takes break after high school, she will only have 2 years to obtain her undergrad instead of 4. I think an additional 2 years is less daunting.

Came downs to Stanford shopping center. the peninsula is so fukking white and 1%er Asian and Indians. People floss their wealth a lot more down here as well. Bentley’s, ranges, Tesla’s, amg benzes, kids get the shytty bmw’s and Audi’s. I didn’t spend much time off campus when I was in school but it’s clear why no one can afford a home here

I really need to ask for clarity around some things because this heifer is still finding a way to irritate me. I thought weekly updates and weekly meetings would be enough, but it's like she wants twice a week? Everyday?

How are you expecting visuals after a week when you're pushing 4 disparate sets of data through one app but trying to correlate them too? You know how many exceptions, fake keys and coding I have to do? shyt stupid.

I have a recruiter call tomorrow. It was from one of those recruiting company listings on LinkedIn, so I don't know what company it's for. The recruiter is based in Europe and he told me the industry. Did some searching and I think I know what company it is.

Does anyone else view companies based overseas as a strike against a job? I worked for an Australian company once and a German company more recently; both of them kinda sucked.
