How to turn work off when not at the office? /u/GamzorTM CSCQ protests reddit

How to turn work off when not at the office? /u/GamzorTM CSCQ protests reddit

I’m finding it hard to truly disconnect from work after I leave the office. I don’t have any emails or messaging on my phone so that definitely helps, and I don’t frequently log into my laptop to work outside of working hours unless I need to get something done.

But, I often find myself thinking about the problems at work and how to solve them. Especially when I’m at a point where I’m behind on sprint or on a tough problem. I feel like I think this time trying to solve the problem in my head is productive but in reality Tj’s probably just taking me away from being present in whatever I’m doing at the moment. I just came back from a week vacation and I disconnected pretty well but the last day of the vacation before starting work I started to think about all the things at work I needed to do, even dreaming about something work related.

Any advice about how to better disconnect, what works for you, or if this is normal and I should just let it happen would be great.

For the love of God, do not overwork yourself /u/NightestOfTheOwls CSCQ protests reddit

For the love of God, do not overwork yourself /u/NightestOfTheOwls CSCQ protests reddit

“Not a question” whatever. People around here need to hear this

I understand that the market is tough right now and it might feel like a privilege to even have a job, which may cause you to justify overworking and letting your higher-ups pile up work on you way outside of your compensation

You’re not obligated to do work outside of your scope or “prove that you’re a good engineer”. You’re not obligated to do backend or devops job if you’re in frontend and vice versa, neither are you obligated to do extra in tasks that were evaluated for half the work. If your management doesn’t directly ask you to do so, relax. They don’t silently expect you to. If they do, please consider continuing looking for a job while doing absolute minimum

The stress and health impact from pushing yourself so much because someone told you “if you won’t then some other guy will” isn’t worth it and isn’t sustainable. Not only that but if everyone remains content with this kind of management it will just reinforce companies beliefs that they can treat their employees like garbage

Feeling stagnant as a mobile developer /u/RamyunPls CSCQ protests reddit

Feeling stagnant as a mobile developer /u/RamyunPls CSCQ protests reddit

Hello,

I currently work as a mobile app developer using React Native in the UK, and I have been in this role for over 3 years. I would describe myself as junior-mid level.

I don’t get to code as much as I like, but what I do actually get to code, I don’t particularly enjoy. I’ve tried creating my own projects in Swift for the past year or two occasionally and while I much prefer Swift, and have reached the latter stages of some interviews for iOS specific roles, there just isn’t much of a market for it in the UK as opposed to React Native.

I am really looking to move to a different side of development, ideally backend. Although I understand that all sides of development have their unique challenges, I am a little burned out with the constant amount of ‘non-code’ issues that arise with mobile development, at least in my current role.

Has anyone transitioned from a mobile developer to a backend developer that could provide any advice or advice on pitfalls to avoid? Is there anyone in the UK sector that has a better insight in to in-demand backend languages here than some out of date articles?

The Tech industry doesn’t feel right. /u/x_mad_scientist_y CSCQ protests reddit

The Tech industry doesn’t feel right. /u/x_mad_scientist_y CSCQ protests reddit

TL;DR:

  1. Interview prep is insane
  2. Tech is filled with arrogant and rude people
  3. Our industry have been invaded by influencers

1. Interview prep is insane

It’s surprising how interviewers are asking more Leetcode hard questions rather than experience based questions given the rise of LLM and cheating.

I’m not defending cheating but It feels like companies are lazy to put more effort in hiring. It feels like they are taking the easy way out by just dialing up the difficulty level of interviews rather than adding more metrics or dials that can accurately measure a candidate skills.

The number of interview rounds is also insane. Like 5 – 6 rounds of interviews literally and on top of this you need to study alongside your job. (I wouldn’t mind giving 5-6 rounds of interview at Google but at any other startup or mid size company I immediately delince and say that I can’t proceed)

But let’s say you get the job, let’s say you studied hard and passed all the interviews then what? you forget all the knowledge you studied during your prep because you didn’t use any of it in your job. And now when you decide to switch jobs after 2 or 3 years the cycle repeats again.

2. Tech is filled with arrogant and rude people

This is something we all agree on. Now good people are out there but are hard to find.

Tech used to be a niche circle of nerds who share their common interest wholeheartedly but it has slowly degraded into a circle full of jerks who likes to show off with their elitism.

God forbid if your interviewer is this kind of guy.

3. Our industry have been invaded by influencers

I know we’re supposed to ignore these influencers but how can we do so when they damage our reputation, increase competition, mislead people, sell trash selling courses and worst of all scam people!?

They give people the wrong idea that tech is the holy grail of a job. I’ve seen some people leaving their job only to end in tech worse off they were before because they listened to these influencers.

What’s more the influencers pose themselves as the top 0.1% of software engineers earning half a million dollars or a 6 figure salary, they do this to tell a tale and to sell more courses. What is truly contradictory is that if they are really earning that much money then why are they selling courses in the first place? Clearly it’s all a facade to just earn some side income.

Now again there are exceptions we have content creators that have really good content like NeetCode.

There are more problems which I haven’t talked about (like burnout) but these 3 concerns me the most.

I’ve been flagged for this on background screening. What is the best thing for me to say to the company screener? However, I cannot prove it since most of that time I had been working on building an AWS portfolio and projects which helped in landing the role.

Part of the interview was talking about what I had done and the interviewers said i was even overqualified for the role.

Best answer i can come up with is saying i got the jobs from social media (Discord or Reddit) and networking, and that i spent most of the time looking for work rather than doing the work.

Help? How can I navigate it?

Considering getting a masters degree in bioinformatics or Geospatial information systems. Need help with the feasibility of this and if it is worth while doing /u/kamekaze1024 CSCQ protests reddit

Hi. I hope this reaches enough people. I’m a 2022 Comp Sci undergrad, currently a Programmer Analyst with 1+ YOE.

I currently like my job, and what I do. I wouldn’t mind doing it for a while, but I simply don’t get paid enough. Only $56k. I talked to my manager about a raise or promotion and he said it wouldn’t be possible since it’s a government contracting job and the company I work for can only offer me as much as the government is willing to pay, essentially.

So I’ve been looking for a new job. In looking for a new job, I was wondering if I should go to grad school and get a M.S. Two degree programs that intrigued me were GIS and Bioinformatics.

GIS actually kinda ties into what I do right now a little bit as a “Satellite software specialist”. But jobs related to this field seemingly don’t pay all that much.

Bioinformatics sounds truly interesting, but I’m concerned my lack of educational experience in biology would make this difficult to pursue.

I’m hoping I can get advice on this, if pursuing an M.S. is truly worth it and if so, how feasible would either of these degrees be with my limited background and in terms of financial returns

TL;DR: looking for a job that pays more and wondering if a M.S. in bioinformatics or GIS would be possible and/or worth it.

Elon wants to open the H1B flood gates to bring over “smart” H1B engineers. He and Vivek, as part of DOGE, are proposing to layoff millions of federal employees. AI is moving in fast in the industry, today it’s tech, tomorrow it could be food and beverage, industrial chemicals, research for lawyers, etc. all of which could result in millions more, not just tech/IT, getting laid off and who could forget training your replacements for your jobs being offshored, so what and where are Americans supposed to work ?

Why isn’t there a more outrage on this ?
