meh. academia is basically mostly rejections and you don't really get to rest on your laurels when you get success, so it's emotionally pretty draining. but i also swept loading docks growing up and this definitely beats that.
>software ""engineer"" in a large tech company
>it's very comfy, but i miss university tbqh. i don't want to be an adult
>>53759770

I have a track record of 100% acceptance rate so far.

Salary is a joke but it's only 6 hours a day so I'm OK with it
plenty of time for shitposting
>>53759864
>What percentage of your day do you actually spend productively writing code?
very little, we're transitioning between projects atm so it's an awkward phase where there isn't much to do. i've worked for about 35 hours a week for the past month (getting paid for 45+ hours). and maybe half of it was spent coding. like i said, it's a very comfy job. the pay is great, high job security, and we don't work that hard. that's one of the advantages of a large company. thinking of joining a startup, though.
>How much OT do you work?
i don't know what OT means.
>Does all your code get reviewed?
when i was an intern, yes, but now that i've been working as a full time engineer for a solid year i do what i want most of the time. sometimes it's required to review, though. when you're introducing a big feature or something like that. the review is done by a random person from the team, usually someone working on something unrelated so you have to explain everything.
>>53759793
>I have a track record of 100% acceptance rate so far.
Talk to literally anyone with a PhD. Apply for fellowships and other funding. Be first author on more submissions.
The revelation among senior PhD students is that academia is mostly (e.g. 2/3) rejections, and that you succeed by working and not giving up despite failure.
you haven't experienced the aspect of graduate school that causes people to drop out (rejection). so prepare yourself for that. and apply to more competitive conferences because if you've never gotten rejected, it sounds like you're aiming low or something. talk to your advisor about this.
>>53759829
I'm in CS, but there are lots of subfields in CS so this doesn't really help you much. I'm not going to get much more specific than that though.

>Do you like it?
The job itself is fine. Everything is done by the book. We have dedicated testers and code reviews. The work is not too stressful, and occasionally an interesting problem comes along. I'm one of a handful of developers working on the system, so I'm given freedom to work on different parts.
I plan to go back to school to get a masters soon. I don't really need a masters, and in fact, having more work experience would probably be more valuable in terms of negotiating salary. I miss school though.
I think a big part of it is the fact that when you're on a campus, you rarely spend more than a few hours in any given class per day. You're outside walking a lot. You have a lot of variation in your environment. When you start working, you're in the same office, usually the same cube, for pretty much the entire day, five days in a row. It starts to wear you out after a while. The area I live also has horrible traffic, and the commute itself is very draining.
I guess the moral of the story is, if you're still in university, try to enjoy it...
>>53759986
>>53760007
kek, that abbreviation is just not common in my country, never heard of it.
i get paid a fixed global salary, according to my contract it's in exchange of 9 hours a day plus overtime, meaning that should the need arise i will work the extra hours and not ask for more because my salary already covers it. so far i can safely say that during my short career i probably worked an average of less 9 hours a day.
there were times where i worked 12 hours, but that wasn't because of pressure or anything, i just wanted to get something over with.
in other teams it's pretty common, though. i have a friend who works almost 50 hours weekly. i'm chilling pretty hard tho.

i know your feel all too well my friend. considering a masters too, though i'm 29 so i'm not sure it's a great idea. i really, really miss university. and the sad part is i never appreciated it when i was there, i almost never went to classes and kept a very small group of friends. wish i could go back in time
>>53760240
the thing is, all your life you've always had social structure given to you with no effort. kindergarten, school, college, uni.. you were handed people your age and roughly with the same interests. girls too. when you're an adult you suddenly realize you no longer have that, and it's up to you to create this social environment yourself. and it's difficult, many people just stop socializing.

Hey guys, I need a bit of help with this:
> Goes through recruiting agency for a job
> Lv 1 Helpdesk with a huge company
> Not too shabby
> Helpdesk is primarily software support over the phone
> Went in for an interview and it went really well.
> Got a call today that the recruiter got the message that I would be better suited for a hardware role.
> wtf.jpg
> Apparently the interviewer has recommended me for another position within her company
> Hardware is basically meh
> Would it be worth doing that hardware position for 1 year and then trying to get another helpdesk job?
I'm just worried about getting trapped in hardware forever. That and I don't have much experience in hardware as all.
I want to be a network admin once I get my CCNA or my CCNP so I imagine that it would be 80% software and 20% hardware.

I'm a student, I have a software eng job lined up but I may not graduate this semester because I'm a retard. Fucking stressing over it but I figure I can just come back later in the year to finish my degree.
student in 4th year.
at this point i dont even give a shit about my classes. which is bad. because of this, my code is utter shit (copy & pasting code, as long as it just works im gonna submit it, little to no functions, not organized at all, etc.). thankfully my TA doesnt give a shit about our code and only looks at our reports.
>>53759729
Project/Development Manger with MTS, pays >150k salary (not posting exact so not to be tracked or known that I post on 4chan, also don't want them to know about my past). I fucking love it.
I majored in CS, this job has nothing to do with CS, and I only work around between 35-45hr/wk. with full health benefits for myself and my boys (including dental).
Finished off my student loans within 2 years (was very challenging) by living in the least expensive studio I could find (1300/mo) and kept eating top-ramen and cup-noodle.
I now own a nice house and will likely ask my girlfriend to marry me by the end of the year..
I was working at Subway through college, I was a homeless drug addict before starting college, and grew up in a single-parent household with an alcoholic mother who I saw once or twice a week.
By 2020 I should be able to afford to have my mom move in next door (if she quits drinking), and if I can remain frugal with my spending, I'll be able to retire by the time I'm 45 (got my AA from a CC when I was 26, completed my 4 year when I was 28, paid off my student loans when i was almost 30.
Once I'm 45 (if I manage to reach my retirement goal), I'll be able to spend at least 10 solid years with my boys, then spend the rest of my retirement traveling with my future-wife.
I'm getting job offers from companies who are offering me greater pay right now. It would be the smart decision to take the job, but my current job is so damn nice in terms of benefits and lack of stress that I'll probably stick with it.
If you're thinking about majoring in CS, minor in business / finance. You will have absolutely no problem finding a job, and a well paying job at that. Also, whether or not you intern through college isn't as important as networking. Meet everybody you possibly can, even if the person looks like a bum or is failing his classes. It pays off, trust me it pays off. Interning is great too, but networking is far more important.
>>53760771
>have bachelors in finance and CFA part 1
>work as a developer
Not sure if I should just go back for a Masters in IT management. The thing stopping me is that I know it will be a joke degree and I will never even remotely use it.
>>53760944
The people hiring for those positions actually care about having them, for some insane reason. I'd go for it, but try your hand at networking more beforehand. I was damn lucky in finding my job, I did everything possible to make friends with anybody I met. I constantly paid for drinks (don't drink myself), kept up with people that were clearly underachievers, etc. etc.
I didn't associate with these people, but I knew that they must have had family connections if they were able to pay through school with something like a 2.5 GPA.
I don't know if I would go for it, personally. That's a hell of a lot more debt to take on, but see if the companies you're interested in are taking notice of degrees like that. The whole "overqualified" thing is a complete myth. As long as you can get into the interview, if they try to pull the "You seem far too qualified for this position", you can just say "I'd like to get to know the company from the ground-up, even if I end up in upper management in the future". There are plenty of ways around that question.
Realistically, though, Masters are more focussed on research, rather than working middle-management or upper-management. Those are fine paths to take as well, but much more rigorous. I just wanted a comfortable job that had an air of respect from the title alone.
I actually ended up loving school, and have thought about transferring to an IVY (I graduated from UC Berkeley) for the experience alone. I fell in love with learning. I'm a pretty slow guy, I have a hard time learning, but I devoted a ton of time to studying, and I enjoyed learning new things, even if they weren't relevant to my topic. It wasn't a wise business decision for me to pursue a Masters, though, so I decided against it.

>>53760944
I'd also add that you have great qualifications for a startup, just make sure you don't use your own money. The "startup" culture is starting to become more stable as investors are more rigid about who/what they're investing in. So there's going to be far fewer "The Uber of X" or "The Facebook of X" programs getting funding, especially if they don't have a solid financial model.
I have a family member who works as a mentor with the largest & most influential 'Angel Investor' firm in Mountain View. His boss is actually on that show Silicon Valley, which makes for some funny conversation.
He's been talking to me about how too many startups think they can just show up with an idea and a quick draft of their program, but have no numbers or projections to back them up, only ideas that they think are going to sell. These investors used to put *some* money into these, mainly because it was such a low initial investment that it didn't matter and would be worth the risk if it paid off, essentially gambling. That model is changing on it's head right now, and you need projections, a fully working product, and strong numbers to back your projections (it just didn't work like this before).
With your credentials, you could definitely help these startups get the paperwork they need, and even create your own startup at some point. Obviously you would need a project, but you're ahead of many others in the business who don't have an accounting degree, some don't even have degrees. Those credentials are important in the startup culture now, or will be in the very near future.
Obviously your best bet is to work with a firm, though, and receive salary. Then you can move on to work on building and selling startups.
Anyway, best of luck.
Sorry if I'm being too 'chipper' for /g/, I just got a solid raise and and am pretty much high on enthusiasm right now.

Dude listen. I was a comfy software engineer like yourself. Spent 2 hours in commute total everyday. Thought the job got kinda boring and I would get my masters, so I could get a more interesting sw dev position. Fast forward to now, it looks like I will get the same kind of job I had before. Even with good school name, very high GPA, deep knowledge of <specialized area>, few projects in that area (which I am able to discuss and break down), and few years of work experience, the most entry level <specialied> dev positions I apply to do not give me an interview. Fucking letdown! I don't know what I did wrong, I guess a side project is the way to go.
And the first month of my master's I was in shock at how exhausted I was from everything I had to do everyday. Comfy job is comfy, remember that.

i went to a good university and big companies were riding our dick trying to get us to work for them as interns during the studies, i didn't even have a good GPA but i still got in easily. it's much easier if you have a person on the inside (even if he's another intern) that throws in a good word for you. and after you finish uni they offer you a real job if they like you (you usually have to fuck up pretty bad for them to not like you).
anyway, that's how it works in my country.

There were some seriously smart developers there, and some other who were the "hackathon hacker ruby on rails" kinda people, but it was super chill. I was basically told to brainstorm an app I wanted to build for the summer and was given all the tools and resources to do so.
I also learned how much fucking money people pay for apps. Jesus. They had some really big fortune 500 companies want some sort of application made that were well into the 6 figures.. plus regular payments to support its development after release.

eh, not really. but it pays better than my last job, which was as senior network admin. I found that more interesting though

I manage the online selling multichannel stuff for my neighbor aka writing stupid little java script programms to stuff product data into ebay and amazon.
20€/hr
working as much I want, whenever I want, from home
Life's good.

Why would your neighbor need to automate ebay?
A cashier, I liked it for a while, but it's a dead end job. No advancement, should had not fooled around I'm high school and went to college. I'm probably going to kill myself by age 30.
Full-dev web stack and dev Android app.
Yes, I get a lot of freedom.
>>53768863
He doesn't.
But I'm not going to tell him.
>>53768869
Same here. My only hope is that I'm a subway cashier so for some miracle I could maybe move on to being a subway train driver, but it's not very likely
software developer for a company that services law firms
law + comsci double degree that everyone told me i was insane for getting has me on 150k in an extremely niche area
selection criteria for job was juris doctor + software eng experience, i was the only applicant
my job can't be replaced by indians nor automated.
but to be honest the only reason i did law was to get some time with biddies and not get overloaded by the autistic betas that plagued the cs school at my uni. helped, got a gf out of it
>>53768869
construction work nigga, after a work day you'll be too tired to commit suicide and it pays well (at least better than cashier work)
>>53760007
Because it's common fucking sense, leddit.

Knowhow dude at electronics store
>Do you like it?
It's a blessing and a curse. I like fixing people's shit, have the opportunity to mess around with the latest tech and get paid for it.
On the other hand, it's tearing on my psyche due to how fucking retarded people are and how they refuse to listen and learn. Every day is a struggle to not blurt out "READ THE FUCKING MANUAL".
Security guard
Fuck yes. All I do at my post is stuff my face with junk food and watch anime on my phone. It's like being a NEET but I get paid and I get a cool uniform too. Who could ask for a better job?
>>53767210
I don't like the idea of giving it away after having to work for it so much. But here it goes: why did the chicken cross the road?

Same here. I got my dream job, but three years later all I want to do is quit
computer engineering bachelor student going back to a top 200 eng university after a two year pause due to burnout and mental illness, recovered now luckely. I have a very big hobby in digital painting, good enough to work as a illustrator if I wanted and I am currently reading about the nvidia cg shader language and its super cool stuff!
I will probably end up as a strong technical artist in the future, going to be ace to work with art/graphics now that VR is getting up to speed!

Sure thing guy, I think gasoline and match will do the trick
Half the time I write shitty front end stuff and the other half juggle shitty code from others playing analyst, paid as front end being full stack dev.
In the worst zone of the country, in the worst country in Europe, for 1000€/month.
Was gonna move Innsbruck for a better life and then rapefugees happened.
No sir, I dont like it.

"Software Engineer"
I like it, I get to play with the new stuff with relative freedom.
The only annoying thing is that people tend to depend on me so I cannot browse Youtube all day unlike incompetent (or clever) fucks.

I get paid to shill for bernie on /pol/
It's soul crushing, but I make more than enough to pay my way through university.
I also buy melatonin from ebay and resell it on the dank web. Makes ~80 buckaronis a week, only real issue is that it's hard to convert back into real money, so it generally comes out as ~40 buckaronis.
I don't even do drugs, so there's almost nothing worth buying with bitcoins.
>do you enjoy it
It feels like endlessly grinding level one rats in an mmo. Except instead of xp and levelling up, there is only dissapointment.
I shill Windows 10 on /g/. I love it, helping other switch to a more secure and supported OS.

I guess I had never thought about it prior to interning there. I also remember sitting in one some of the all company meetings and some apps were being pitched even around/over the $1 mark.

Code monkey.
I love it mainly because I get to spend all of my time in the office writing code, there's 24hr cafeteria, bunkbeds, showers and free gigabit Internet. I only go home to get a change of clothes which is like once in two weeks, but the longest I stayed there was like for a month, I want to try staying for half a year without going home.
Since I don't have any friends or gf, this is the best job in the world.

Feel sorry for you, anon. Our society is messed, once a citizen has something broken in his body it just throws him away. Would be good if tech could fix our bodies instead of merely drawing pixels on our screens..

Neet here finished high school last year, doing nothing now, just studying programming on my own at my own peace leeching off my parents.
CTO and audio dev
And I really do like it, I never get bored~

Student, I have my own "company" though, selling some stupid software earning me a months salary for 1/10th of the work which is pretty damn nice
> Like it?
Kinda.. not sure what I want to do when I'm done with my study...
>>53763935
Re-read my post senpai. I'm applying to specific positions, not any plain dev position.
>>53767372
this is how I felt about my job. Thought it could get more interesting with higher studies, but knowledge doesn't cut it. Projects or github URL ftw
>>53765505
I applied to jobs senior year and eventually got an offer before graduating. I didn't really care what kind of dev I would be doing, as long as I got paid. What's a mystery about this? If you're unsure how into jobs and you might do a master's because "why not" you need to ask yourself what you are doing with your life

Same boat here, except I graduated a year early and have had a job for the majority of my time out of school. Current one is pretty cool, I also get passive youtube income and sell stuff on craigslist. If I didn't have a dank job I'd go and work at a camp for summer and live in the forest.
>>53759729
Systems Engineer at a large tech company.
Yes, I never have to work with anything I can't checkout the source for and I work at a scale I haven't found in the same capacity elsewhere. No two days are the same though and the pace can be a little much for me sometimes.
I'm just a GNU/Linux fanboy who went corporate.
>>53768233
Just get your bachelors degree you ninny, at least that's something.

Programmer at software megacorp that likes organizing the world's information or some shit like that.
Mostly. The pay is more than I know what to do with, the people are easy to work with. It's not the most inspiring work, but that's what nights and weekends are for, I guess.
Electronics technician in network equipment R&D. It's pretty fucking great.
>>53759729
I'm a Pizza Delivery Driver, I get tipped by people to drive 15 minutes to their house, which is actually just a 5 minute drive, but I take my time, be on my phone for the majority of my shift. I make 30k a year for doing nothing, and I plan to keep it that way until I graduate. I fucking love my job.
>Frontend dev/graphic designer
>Yes
IT guy for a big inner-city middle school.
I love it. It's pretty laid back, and all the group policy/heavy networking stuff is handled by the city's school district, so I can escalate if there's some really annoying or difficult issue that I run across. The pay sucks, but the lack of stress and abundant time off/vacation days more than makes up for it. I've kind of gotten attached to the job at this point though, and I'm worried that I'll get complacent/accidentally get myself fired for being a crass /g/tard. My tongue slips way too often. Great with kids, but bad at regulating myself.
Also, no funding. Ever. I've had to jury rig so much shit to keep it working. Need a new hard disk? Nope, no budget for it. New projector lamps? No budget. Replacement power supplies? No budget. Just about the only thing they will buy me is zip ties.
