Why would you bother with your masters? Should have gotten your bachelors and then worked and had them pay for it while you worked. Also you're a retard
Lucas Ortiz
>High School Degree what fucking country? Also sounds like you're just a brainlet that can't write a resume.
Christopher Martinez
Why not just take the fucking HR programming test? HR is a cancer but a cancer you have to deal with.
Josiah Evans
I paid nothing, the govern paid for me (scholarship), in Europe we don't have need to student loans. It's just that i found absurd that another test it's required.
Cameron Edwards
Because it's a joke that i got a Bachelor degree and i have to prove that i'm able to sort a fucking array, dynamic programming, trees and others
Dylan Barnes
That's because the degree is indeed a joke and many people who get a degree really can't fizzbuzz.
Kayden Davis
I meant diploma
Julian Reyes
protip to get past the hr autofilter 1. copy entire job posting 2. 1pt white font 3. paste into bottom of resume 4. ????? 5. profit
Lucas Nelson
You are wrong, sorta....some people in my class which got a bachelor degree are morrons. But here you don't get a master degree in IT engineering if you are not very good at programming.
Colton Adams
Didn't read, you're a faggot OP
Benjamin Rogers
of course it's a joke. hr, managers and other people there are mostly the brainlets that couldn't get a decent degree. you can't expect them to have any competence, but this is the world we live in, get used to it.
Charles Collins
Well bachelor degree is what you said. Anyway, in some companies and departments within said companies HR is really just an obstacle management uses to engage in more effective nepotism.
Ethan Price
Except you can get a degree in HR, but it's about as meaningful as Jamaican underwater basket weaving.
Isaiah Morales
Since he wanted to learn more?
Jackson Perez
What is this supposed to do
Charles White
Gets past the resume filter bot that checks your resume for keywords, ensuring a pair of human eyes always looks upon it.
Dominic Brown
The world as a collective has been saying "academia is a scam and you'll be in debt for life" for the last 30 years AT LEAST. You made a mistake. >I should have become a woodworker. 100%
>But here you don't get a master degree in IT engineering if you are not very good at programming. Any and every qualification can be gained from oral sex. I won't forget this, and neither will your interviewer. Remember that.
Well, the honest truth is that your employability is going to be 90% what connections you've made or how determined you are to get fucked.
Let me explain, if you want a job right now and you don't care what it is, you can find a staffing firm to make you their slave. Think FDM tier companies. They will find you a job unless you're woefully incompetent. The job will be terrible, and your pay will be awful. Likewise, if you have experience, you can go to Cap Gemini, Cognizant, even some Big 4, etc, and they will find you a job. They will also rip you off as it is their business model.
For the connections, that's really the heart of it. I got hired for my current job for example because I happened to know someone who was rather high up in the company from church. He asked me if I was looking for a new role, I applied, the interview was a farce, and boom, hired. The guy who got that job? He knew the CEO from the army. The entire top brass of the company? They knew eachother from college, the army, or other companies.

Dominic Lewis
>monetary is the only concern that came to mind sorry for you
Julian Murphy
If money isn't your primary concern in employment, then you're probably retarded.
Asher Bailey
Yeah hold on let me just succ up a HR guy through my fucking virtual workspace
Justin Harris
>implying I wouldn’t take a pay cut if it meant having a job with near 0 effort put into it
Connor Cox
How big of a pay cut? Eitherway, I wouldn't recommend, I had a job like that for a while. Clock in at 10, clock out at 3.
>These roles can only really survive in huge companies. Usually, really bad companies. >Idleness breeds paranoia. Your boss left? You better hold onto your ass. >You quickly burn through all your time wastes. >Zero effort work is often pointless work. >Zero effort work also isolates you from possible other opportunities as you're not actually doing anything to attract notice.
Anyway, if you're going to take this to the extreme, why not just take like an 80% pay cut and collect autismbux?
Bentley Young
This gets you on blacklists now. Only do it if you want to unlock super unemployment. Just tailor your resume to the job description every time.
Nigga that is the test, to create that virtual workspace that allows for the HR guy to sudo sex-get your mouth
James Cox
I wouldn't actually bother with applying. Allow head hunters or staffing agencies to contact you. Show that you're looking for opportunities on job sites. Have a general resume and let them do that.
>Why not apply through HR? You can, but I've never actually met someone who got their job this way. The only time I would say to do so is if you're applying internally.
>But what if I'm really good and would definitely go through and win the role.. blah blah blah Then you especially shouldn't be wasting your time with that.
Brayden Reyes
>Go to company's coding test >It's actually pretty challenging >Feel bad about it >Get called in to interview >They say I did very well, and yes their tests are indeed hard >Get hired Feels good man Now I'll just have to deal with imposter syndrome
Good job user. You followed though instead of being a total sperg like OP
Kayden Roberts
how do i find an opportunity like this
Isaac Wright
Blame everyone who gets meme CS degrees, gets through bootcamps, get certificates of completion or passed corporate certification tests yet can’t even accomplish basic tasks without
>muh import library
Landon Collins
Source? I thought it still worked
Kayden Diaz
Connections are a meme, if you're decent you'll have recruiters lining up to suck your dick anyway. But any decent company will have some kind of test to make sure you're not retarded.
Dominic Russell
If you can't take a simple programming test you should learn to program You've had literal years of interest in IT to do this by now. Start with something that you're interested in and write a program around it to help you push through those first setbacks and bugs.

Guess what company I would rather work for? Human Resources is a valuable position. Like any good developer, a good HR mangers is hard to come by.
Juan Watson
imagine needing a degree for an IT job
I'm at work right now and shitting around on my gaming laptop
get rekt with redditspace, niggers
Mason Cooper
>at work on Saturday We are talking about good jobs.
Jackson Adams
Not the user you replied to, but anyone working Sunday gets a few extra bucks an hour and 4 10s at my work. Lots of IT jobs have benefits for those who work weekends. Many like to do it because management is rarely around on those days so shit is easy going.
Wyatt Taylor
three day workweek in a data center and remote for the rest of my time, it's okay to be jealous, I'm sure all those mice you replace throughout the weekdays for old ladies makes your saturdays and sundays a relief though LOL
Michael Brown
I would, we have no autism bucks in this country, to be neet means 0 income.
Nathaniel Richardson
In my company we heavily utilize programming / logic based tests to be done by candidates. Every single time someone starts bitching about them they have serious issues answering our questions and completing the programming exercises. The tasks are quite easy for someone who has been in the industry for a couple of years but quickly weed out those who would be incapable of performing at work on the desired level.
Juan Ortiz
I hope that you do not mean those stupid trick questions that are never actually used at work, and you know answers to them only because you've googled "trick programming questions" and memorized answers to popular ones.
Adrian Rivera
Why the fuck would i replace mice for old ladies?
Christian Rodriguez
We use problems that are commonly seen in our daily programming, mainly the kind of questions that vet whether the candidate can understand scale or not. Our code handles some tens of thousands of requests per second with a database containing few petabytes of data. It sets some limits to the queries you can use, which data structures to go for, and such. Without a basic understanding of time complexity one just can't be let to work with the system, this of course is something a reputable university handles during the first year so it's not an issue for most. Then there are some questions regarding basic security stuff (we don't want anyone storing passwords in plaintext), testing habits, etc.
Ryder Cooper
>Jamaican underwater basket weaving How smoke spliff while work?
Josiah Anderson
Good to know that you are not google, gosh they got some retarded shit going on the whiteboard tests. "well user, lets hope you've googled this specific trick question from this popular book from trans half black half indian furry"
Hunter Ramirez
put in some effort
Cooper Johnson
That kind of shit blows. It has nothing to do with the person's ability to complete their work. Competitive programming is a nice hobby and a good sign in a candidate but it doesn't belong to interviews, neither do whiteboard exercises since no one ever should work under that kind of stress. Our problems can be solved at home when you feel relaxed, there are no answers for them on the internet.
Cooper Reed
How else are the interviewers going to feel superior? It's the techfags dick measuring contest, masqueraded as an interview.
Nathan Martin
>be me >IT dev >HR keeps pestering me to make interviews >mostly clueless pajeets and waste of my time >give HR a simple programming test sheet >ask HR to run it with everyone before getting them to me >dealing with pajeets filtered out
Angel Johnson
>He never did any internships >He never volunteered
HAHAHAHA go flib burgers, people want experience
Alexander Miller
If you are so good at it then a simple graph search won't be an issue, right?
different user,but not even that,if you really want to filter candidates and save your sanity ask them to write a program to print the number 5 four times.if they can solve that,then ask them to do fizzbuzz.
Mason Green
Well, then you would easily be able to solve any hr test then so why complain?
Jose Bailey
Nice try HR. Meanwhile in my company HR is fucking impossible to get past so almost no one is hired without nepotism at work and one mediocre guy whose mother was the boss of HR got promoted three times in three years and all of his 6 friends working here also got promoted afterwards, only one of them shows some kind of promise.
Daniel Garcia
tfw got a job via nepotism and get paid to waste time, surf the web etc . Do about 5 hours of legitimate work a week
Isaiah Clark
That's many of all the desk jobs that exists today, many people have to seek therapy for having such jobs because they feel worthless and that their lives have no meaning. Also in times of strife such jobs are often the first to go.
Julian Carter
Lmaoooo your degree is just in programming? Where do you even find degrees based only on programming
John Thomas
Be honest, what interview questions have you failed?
For me it's "what does a triple equals sign do" and specific things on design patterns.
>he fell for the degree meme You only have yourself to blame
Caleb Nelson
God, I remember that thread. Good times.
David Moore
>programming test >IT ?????
Jace Cox
I just applied for the position online, and wasn't a sperg in the interview
Sebastian Perry
OP is not wrong. Something is super fucked in the industry. We're talking CS degree w/ magna cum laude, history of working with big companies, personal projects people use, FOSS contributions to major projects, activate github profile, tech blog, book contributions. Interviews are 5+ stages. Code challenges can take 20-30 hours (no joke). I'm extremely friendly and sociable. what the fuck gives?
