My primary hypothesis is that it was racial filtering since that's a big thing at recruiter companies now. However I'm sure the DURGASPAM didn't help either.
nostr:npub1y6tk68elxfcrz8yx5kf32agav67hwz4rt2ff22f8rl98yxh7uxhsx69wl9 Wow. An entire year is pretty hard. Must be pretty soul crushing. If you are in america, you could maybe change your drivers-license from m to f and apply as a woman. I am sure they would fight over you. And you don't have to do anything, cause who are they to say that a "real woman" doesn't have a beard?
nostr:npub1nkz2vjgqjn9y6kmsphg3eaq9up3cncg68schf8da6d6e55ze9f9s0xexns I think resumes are sent by automated means at this point. It has no doubt gotten worse with chatgpt.
nostr:npub1y6tk68elxfcrz8yx5kf32agav67hwz4rt2ff22f8rl98yxh7uxhsx69wl9 oh. Been a while since I applied for anything. Sounds bad. But still, if they won't a C guy, won't they filter out all the java spam and only you remain?
nostr:npub1nkz2vjgqjn9y6kmsphg3eaq9up3cncg68schf8da6d6e55ze9f9s0xexns I actually do work in low level C/systems stuff. Unfortunately very few companies actually need that anymore. Also the problem is when you apply for a systems engineering job you're also vying for attention against 800,000 DURGASOFT REAL TIME CERTIFIED JAVA EXPERTS.
nostr:npub1y6tk68elxfcrz8yx5kf32agav67hwz4rt2ff22f8rl98yxh7uxhsx69wl9 +1 respect for the crab!
But if you do low level stuff, why do you have to compete with the bootcamp java-bros?
Feel you though. Low level jobs are so rare. But idk, isn't the grass at least a little greener on your side?
I'm literally doing full stack web dev.
I'm not a person. I'm a walking stereotype. Long have I lived happy not knowing that.
nostr:npub1nkz2vjgqjn9y6kmsphg3eaq9up3cncg68schf8da6d6e55ze9f9s0xexns I'm starting to deeply regret my career choice. Back when I got my degree, which wasn't even that long ago, it didn't look like everyone on the planet was going to have that career.
nostr:npub1y6tk68elxfcrz8yx5kf32agav67hwz4rt2ff22f8rl98yxh7uxhsx69wl9 Yeah and why is everyone now a coder? Because it's easy. That's a sad fact. Doesn't take that much to mess in js or python, while being comfy indoors, not having to strain a muscle.
Makes it hard to have any kind of job satisfaction. We need Coding++. People like Krunklord can actually be proud of their shizo skills.
Hey, if we swap out the first thing, then that's literally me!
Making art/writing software have become pretty meaningless terms, huh? They really are the default hobbyies of terminally indoor nerds.
nostr:npub1y6tk68elxfcrz8yx5kf32agav67hwz4rt2ff22f8rl98yxh7uxhsx69wl9 Being a looser is more about self-perception than objective facts. Idk, most normies go along with wokeism because it dominates but aren't zealots. Zealots are special. Maybe he thinks this will get him some pussy... who knows.
Sad to loose a friend... but you find new ones! Don't let him ruin your life.
