I have an interview Friday. Got a coding test I gotta get over to them tomorrow.
Good luck bro. Had an interview today with another company and a few phone interviews with recruiters lined up. If these don't work I think I'll have to go full stack soon. Damn near every job i see now has .Net in the requirements :wow:

Yeah I learned some laravel. Only thing putting php on my resume or saying you know php... recruiters start bombarding with wordpress and Drupal type jobs. :scusthov:

Everybody and their mama knows react/frontend now though so I gotta do something soon to stand out. Think C# is my answer because it's similar to typescript and I fw TS heavy. Plus I can pivot to mobile, desktop etc. If I want

I forgot C# is in the stack I mentioned. And yes that will get you even further, especially if you can mix in some Java/JS to go with that typescript which makes you a lot more versatile. If you’re able to look at Ruby and ROR or Rust that gives you additional avenues on companies wanting a back end leaning full stack dev.

:whoo:


Software engineers were the most overrepresented position in layoffs in 2023, relative to their employment, according to data requested by Vox from workforce data company Revelio Labs. Last year, when major tech layoffs first began, recruiters and customer success specialists experienced the most outsize impact. So far this year, nearly 20 percent of the 170,000 tech company layoffs were software engineers, even though they made up roughly 14 percent of employees at these companies.

AI can code yall engineers better learn some people skills

Funny thing is half those jobs to begin with weren't even real :mjlol:

I still see our company's job listings that have been there for 200 days. Literally got 15 job listings for React.
So fukking dumb. I don't know why companies do this.

Zero interviews for those positions and it's a major city.

Actually, if anything AI employed by hackers makes cybersecurity even MORE valuable right now.
What is it exactly you think AI can’t do in Cybersecurity? I’d imagine that would be on the forefront of fields that would be prime for AI intervention.

You don't think current cybersecurity products aren't use AI? Yet still getting their asses kicked by hackers.
