You have your boss by the balls. Just get another offer. Wageslavery 101
I can't do another week of this
How am I supposed to do this for 35 more years?
Dude same. I almost walked out the front door on Friday. I have another month until I'm promoted. I don't know if I can make it. One wrong word and I think I will get up and leave. Once I'm promoted I have until January to save and then I'm taking a break. IF I don't take a leave of absence from work before then.
Quit user
>tfw programmer, make six figures
lol
Programming is propably the cuckiest wagecuck job there is. You're basically expected to work for free(on your own projects) if you don't good luck getting hired lol. How KEKED do you have to be to think that's a good spot to be in lol.
I couldn't imagine a worse fate than being a programmer.
>T H U N D E R
programming is saturated
new programmers coming into the market aren't getting paid a fucking thing and expected to have a full portfolio of impressive projects just to get hired at 50-60k
you probably got into the field when it was not as shit - 5-10+ years ago
Taking comp sci right now, thinking really hard about changing my major because of things happening to the industry, such as (but not limited to) this Also I just don't want to fucking work at a tech company, treated like a fucking cog in the corporate machine. Hate the interviews and generally just hate dealing with HR, but I know that I will have to face these things no matter what major I graduate with.
If Chainlink doesn't take us to the moon then I don't really know what I'm going to do. I just want to be free...
don't switch majors you will regret it guaranteed
cs is the gold standard for majors
if you're already going to college you may as well go cs
even if you don't want to do programming it can transfer into IT/engineering as a whole
It's literally all Indians now. I'm not exaggerating. 95% of gigs are filled with Indians. Again, I'm not exaggerating.
Get out while you still can. Faggots who write emails all day make more.
Don’t change degree comp sci is still one of the best degrees, just do a minor in mayh to open yourself up to better masters programs, you could master in finance, econ, math, physics, elec. engineering, a whole bunch of shit.
t. Someone who regrets transferring out of comp sci
Yeah I know it's probably my best bet, I think I just have some problems with authority that need to be addressed, maybe I should take therapy. I like the major itself...
>6 figures
>for free
This buttmad cope is visible from space.
Fell for the CS meme and yea, I thought about switching from CS too but ended up graduating anyway since I didn't know what the fuck else I would switch to. Not sure if I regret it or not but all the jobs available seem fucking retarded to me. I've literally never seen a job where I wouldn't end up just looking at the clock every 5 minutes waiting to get out and eventually just feeling like killing myself. And yea like someone already mentioned here, they expect you to come in with a degree + an impressive portfolio of projects, even for really low level positions, or you won't even get into the interview stage.
Save. Save like your life depends on it, because it does.
mrmoneymustache.com
this does not make me feel good about HODLing from 450k portfolio to 50k portfolio. I guess I would have been set huh. I'm a 24 y/o NEET
Well you had to save in the first place to buy whatever crypto got you to $450k in the first place. That's a habit you want to keep and maintain.
As for having been set, well, that would've only earned you like $15k a year so you'd need a cheap, paid off house at the very least.
I threw 2k at some meme coins in early 2017 and got lucky. Guess I'm fucked then,.
2k to 50k is still damn good from most investment perspectives.
Diversify that shit and buy some index funds.
If you still want to keep in the crypto space, limit overall investment to 10% of overall portfolio.
Lmao dude why the fuck didn't you sell
You could have cashed out the 450k, thrown it in some low-risk ETF and got an extra 5-15k a MONTH for doing absolutely nothing. (Assuming 2-4% yields which is fucking nothing for an ETF)
You could have retired and lived a humble life living off of passive income that earned you more than what 50% of the United States makes working 40 hours a week.
Why ETF and not index fund?
ETFs typically save you in the long run because they are more tax efficient then mutual funds. They're pretty much the same thing though.
>low-risk ETF and got an extra 5-15k a MONTH
I dont understand the math behind this...I was under the impression that with index funds and ETFs, 10% gain per year was amazing...where did you get this 5-15k per month figure?
from out of his ass
EVERY market is like this now, same thing happened to me as a mechanical engineer. only STEM degrees that aren't over saturated with high gpas and experience are Electrical Engineering (good luck making it) and Nuclear Engineering but again good luck making it. we're all fucked.
120kish would have gone to taxes. But yeah. I knew nothing about stocks and then my friend brought up an ETF after I had lost most of it.
I can't believe how fucking dumb I was. It felt like monopoly money at the time. I've never had more than 5k to my name, no bills, no major responsibilities. And I never anticipated losing 90% of it. I feel like my whole life just got pissed away. A boon from God that will never be seen again.
Same.
Even my weekends suck now. My life is so boring and work is so boring. Everything is boring and there's nothing I can do to fix that.
stick with it man, focus on the things you can use the fiat for on payday
I start my work week on Sundays so I can get it over with sooner. I gave up trying to work on Fridays. most people are checked out mentally or leave early. If I work hard enough, my work week is over by Wednesday
I feel kind of guilty about not working on Wed-Sat too, that's more money I could be making, but this is because my parents worked every single day of their lives until they died, so I feel like I have to do the same.
This is the biggest misstatement on biz. The programming sector needs a shit load of people. Indians don't know how to fucking code. Don't deter people from coding. Everything is technological these days, moron.
As someone in programming our applicants are always Indians.
We have a new position with 12 applicant. 11 are Indians and 1 white guy that sucks.
Does your employer accept remote work or something? Where the fuck in America would you find a ratio of 11:1 indians to whities?
Yes if you’re sociable and technical you can go into tech sales or solutions engineering and get more money and you don’t feel like a code monkey.
>Have to wake up at 5:20 AM
No remote.
We are out in the middle of nowhere. They are all willing to relocate from all over the country. Also 100% of them have a Masters degree.
they bought their bachelor's online
Question. Why do so many Indians resort to programming? Why do so many Indians live in America?
3% yield on 450k is like 13.5k a year, not a month
And thank me later
big tech companies conspired against american workers to try and suppress tech wages. Look up Eric Weinstein talking about this
This is actually infuriating. Why does America suppress the wages of their own people? It sounds so fucking stupid. There's nothing more annoying than calling customer support and some non-English speaking motherfucker answers. I don't give a shit if they are Indian, but the fact that companies have to resort to hiring people who are willing to work for pennies get their shit done. It's business I get it but it's still fucking dumb.
I gotta get up at 4am and typically have to stay until 8-9pm. the money is good but its killing me since Its outside in 105 degree weather. I get to spend a lot of time shitposting on my phone, but still.
>want to quit
>Look at job offerings in City
>Not really qualified for anything
>Think about killing myself
Maybe I just need more schooling???
I did a writeup in Jow Forumswdg about it.
Basically Indians working freelance for 3.50 an hour make 12x what the average Indian makes. It's like an American making 385k a year. This is why they do programming. Imagine if you could make 385k a year just by learning something that takes a year or two to get good at.
They get jobs in the US to send back home. Even sending a hundred dollars home a month would help their families bigtime. They can also make way more by working here than they could if they worked remote.
Why do so many American employers hire Indians and not their own kind?
waking up late sucks though
greed
disloyalty
rootless cosmopolitans
Either they don't have experience working with Indian programmers yet and are trying to save money or diversity quotas.
As a wagie, what can I do to avoid companies full of Indians? Or, what the fuck should I do if I would like to get a decent paying job outside of manual labor?
you can't. they are now few and far in between. very rare to find a shop that doesn't have Indians in it. and once one Indian gets in, all bets are off. they will soon have every cousin, niece and long lost friend working there too.
get into business I suppose. be some office fag who makes spread sheets all day and goes to meetings. you need a strong tolerance for social BS though
thanks for the advice, user.
>and once one Indian gets in, all bets are off. they will soon have every cousin, niece and long lost friend working there too.
>long lost friend
This is some funny shit. These Indians really need to get the fuck out of our jobs. Did this new paradigm shift with America being filled with foreign employees recently happen? I am a Zoomer.
I hope not. The higherups are thinking about hiring one of the Indians.
Just imagining them stinking up the hallway and refusing to interact with everyone else socially..
15k a month means ur reigning in 40% ytd??
So start a business, faggot
It's been going on in tech for quite some time. I know major tech companies who were doing this 15 years ago, but there were still a ton of white guys. But since Obama it has gotten really bad. I'm talking nothing but Indians at some places.
I would stay out of tech honestly if you're looking for new employment. I'm in tech now and thinking I need to get out. The only purpose I could see for you wanting to enter is to maintain some semblance of white presence and keeping up to date with what is happening for political reasons. But you're going to fight tooth and nail against Indian favoritism.
>Indian favoritism
lol ever consider they're just better than you? Get cucked
lmao @ whites suddenly caring about 'muh discrimination'
The problem will fix itself one way or another so I don't really care
Boomers started it but in 2010 the Indians came in full force.
Union Electrician here. Working as a foreman for my shop.
I am actually looking forward to work tomorrow. I get to decide how things are done and can fuck off half the day if I want to.
The nations infastrucure is crumbling faster than we can rebuild it and the facts are this:
1. The old timers that built this country are all but retired.
2. Guys like me, physically fit, experienced in the trade and reliable are extremely hard to come by.
Union penison. Union annuitiy. Union healthcare plan. The best part, there is nothing you neets can do about my easy money because you all need electricity to access the only world you understand and none of you neets know the first thing about electrical installations. hahahhahha. Pay up so I can keep living the easy union life.
Question. I'm slightly interested in that profession. What the fuck are the odds of getting electrocuted?
This was very informative. Indians all look the same.
How do we stay away from them?
No, they're really not better. If the US wanted quality it would do a tech visa scheme with China, but it didn't, because wages would be higher even if China would agree with it (which will never happen).
Top UK universities are absolutely filled with Chinese in STEM, not sure about the US but I'm guessing it's the same
Absolutely based
i have noticed that american infrastructure in a lot of areas is complete shit. the fuck is going on exactly? are contractors just siphoning all the cash they can away from projects and leaving them unfinished?
>They're better than you
No that is bullshit. All of the Indian tech workers write very messy, unnecessary long code that can be easily simplified by someone competent to be at least 50% shorter, but as long as it gets the job done, lots of places don't give a fuck. It's a big problem. I interviewed at a place recently and they were so blown away by the fact that my code was so clean and I followed simple syntax standards. I am now their strongest candidate and am probably gonna get the job. Fuck these streetshitters.
>have to be up in 5 hours
>still can't fall alseep because full of dread
it's a form of welfare
on my daily commute there is always one major road under construction. they never have any intention of just making one entire route complete and drivable, there always has to be one section being worked on. the gov sells the projects to the lowest bidder. and so the lowest bidder drags their feet and takes 10x as long to complete the project because it keeps their guys employed.
a large portion of the US economy is propped up through government contracts in this way
Anyone else eats lunch in their car?
I've started drinking a beer or two on Sunday evenings/nights before bed. Helps to calm me down. Not to get drunk or even buzzed but just to calm down a bit.
it's easy to spot the low iq folks
I slam half a bottle of whiskey 5 days a week for the same reason.
me
Ce n'est rien
I have to wake up at 3 am every day, 2am on the days we get the truck, 2 fucking AM
Schooling is not the answer
We’ve all got 6 figures - How many RSUs are you sitting on?
what the fuck? just leave the shithole ur not an actual slave, stop being a bitch and leave
>I feel like my whole life just got pissed away. A boon from God that will never be seen again.
There is still one last chance, fren.
>Work at a boathouse. Always giving clients shit. >Eating ala carté from the restaurant. Hitting on >bikini chicks. Work clothes flip flops tshirt and >shorts. Bang some milfs from my workplace. >Sometimes don´t even shower before work.
What is then
NO YOU WAGEKEK
>tfw had a choice between CS and electrical engineering when was choosing trade school years ago
>ended up picking CS even though got an offer for EE too
That was 10 years ago and was the most regrettable decision I made in my life. Now I trade shitcoins instead.
That being said I also see a lot of pajeets in EE but who would have ever guessed 99.9% of india and pakistan would literally all choose to do programming and IT. Really destroyed the whole sphere.
I feel you man. It doesn't matter if you take CS, finance, law or whatever. You will always end up working at some gay ass corportate job with a bunch of nu-males or tryhard monkeys LARPing as Patrick Bateman. You'll brag about your six figures, from which the state takes almost 50% and you use the rest to buy stupid shit you don't want or need. You talk about going running and your new patagonia jacket with your co-workers. You lease a new Mercedes you end up complaining about all day. At work you have to engage in retarded office politics and the company basically expects you to put workplace above everything else. Sports? They have a badminton court! Your kids? Just put them into the company daycare! Housing? We get great 1 room apartments for you! Afterwork activity? Get hammered on sugary cocktails after work at the bar!
That's how you spend your 20s. Sitting infront of a PC all day, doing stupid shit you wouldn't do if it didn't pay "muh 100k".
Honestly the only (realistic) way to escape or win at this retarded rat race we live in today is to become self employed or through investments. Yeah, you'll work the same hours or even more but at least it's your own thing and you don't have to spend 20 years wearing a mask and going up other peoples asses. Doesn't even have to be some gay tec shit, just do whatever you want.
Obviously there are other way like becoming some kind of professional athlete, actor or winning the lottery but those are almost unattainable.
>B-But I'm happy at my corporate job!
One question: Imagine we live in some sort of star trec society where everything like rent and food is taken care of would you really choose sitting at a desk all day, in some suit you don't want to wear and working on some meaningless numbers someone put on your desk? 90% of people would rather engage in something with humans, animals or some creative endeavor (artistically or handcraft).
>cs is the gold standard for majors

Their code is as messy as their fucking curry, they are rude and speak bad english.
I wish the fed would increase interest rates by +3% so the fucking useless tech companies kill themselves fast
> That being said I also see a lot of pajeets in EE but who would have ever guessed 99.9% of india and pakistan would literally all choose to do programming and IT. Really destroyed the whole sphere.
That's not the real problem. The problem is the government that allows non-natives into the country. It's very simple. Wages are determined by who we allow to participate in the labor force. If you allow women and immigrants than you will suppress wages.
> That was 10 years ago and was the most regrettable decision I made in my life.
I am almost finishing my CS degree, why would you say it was regrettable to study CS and what would you advise me to move into or do?
Why is discrimination bad? Indians don't belong in America, the UK, France or Germany. You're guests. When you come to our countries we will discriminate against you. Because once Indians enter upper management they discriminate against non-Indians, and the jobs in our countries should first go to the people of that respective country. The only reason you are in a first world country is because our governments are in bed with big multinational companies who are promoting immigration into our countries so to keep wages down.
If I moved to India I would be discriminated against in regards to employment.
>That's not the real problem.
It is a problem because we live in a world where (((they))) want open borders and world government, so no matter how much you try to deny it you need to come to terms with the fact that you're in a job race against the whole world not just your country. And since india and pakistan are 2nd and 3rd in terms of world population (and soon overtaking china for 1st and 2nd spots) and fact that IT careers are by the most popular picks for them in those countries, you gotta weight your options.
>I am almost finishing my CS degree, why would you say it was regrettable to study CS and what would you advise me to move into or do?
I wouldn't advise you to change because you're close to finishing and grass might be greener but you will still have other problems in other fields.
I say it because of the same reasons this thread is listed with. Once 1 pajeet gets in he brings his whole family to work there, the whole place gets run down with them like vermin. This has been happening for many years already because of that wages in the IT sector are extremely competitive unless you're senior (you're not since you will just be a grad). Prepare to work close to minimum wage for years even with your degrees and have rooms stank with curry.
