I really wanted to enlist but I'm MUCH more useful behind a computer. I genuinely want to make this country better, regardless of the pay because I have several side businesses and hustles to rely on for extra money.

My endgame is, during college and subsequent government service, to start a legitimate businesses and let that grow until my time is up. I'm working on an app/website now, which will be my third try at said business. If that ever occurs, I want to continue moving up the ladder as an entrepreneur until I can cleanly enter politics.

In a nutshell..... Fucking phenomenally

After election, company president held a "State of the Business" meeting. Said "Reguardless of your political beliefs, you all have a lot to look foreword to in these next few years"

Normal annual raises have been ~3%
Was 12% this year
Annual Bonuses are projected to be triple of previous years
Per diem and allowances increased 25% across the board
401k is up significantly
401k match/profit sharing on track to increase 50% this year
Historic comparable pay for my position is ~$70k annually. I am well into six figures.


We cannot keep up with demand.
We are turning away +$50m projects because we are slammed!
HR in full swing recruiting mode at job fairs
Offering $3k "referral bonuses" if we can experienced talent to come interview and sign an offer letter.

What you are experiencing is much more commong for most comp sci grads. It is quite rare unless you go to a very good university, have good internships and know people to make 75k out of school. If you do make that much typically your job is very stressful and bad hours. However, there are exceptions if you know people and have excellent internships.

This is probably where I went wrong.
I switched majors halfway through so didn't have an opportunity to get any decent internships, and I didn't socially open up until the last year.
Sucks, because I see so many unambitious programmers that don't really give a fuck. I'm bored out of my mind making projects for myself, video games feel like such a waste of time.

While ranting I forgot to mention the true point of this thread which is job market. The company I work for was also seemingly unaffected by the recession. The market at this point feels pretty bullet proof especially with our client base.

I went through the subprime bubble in 2006-2008. This feels different.

I now get $1600/month tax free housing allowances and another $500/month tax free Truck allowance, so I basically live and drive free. I get an expense account for "Team Building" (take people out to eat, host BBQs, etc) so I really don't even pay groceries. They even pay my internet.
Despite all that, I live like a fucking pauper.

I remember when it all fell apart in Vegas in '08 and I went back into the Army.

I remember the retards selling their fancy boats and sand cars for 10 cents on the dollar to buy groceries. I remember good guys being unemployed for +3 years.

You're not trying hard enough. Apply everywhere, and often. Put out at least 10 new applications a day, for every position you can find even if you're not qualified fully.

I graduated in December. No internships, a 3.3gpa, and had a job by April. 80k, relocation paid for, full benefits after 90 days, 4 weeks paid training. You need to put in the work friends. I put out at least 300 applications, ended up with 3 job offers after ~3 months of searching.

>>135351395
Good to know, I graduated this May. I'll keep at it then.

>>135350769
Take an internship now. They normally lead to junior developer positions. If you already graduated thats fine. Just have a strong github or somewhere you can show your work as a portfolio. Reach out to local agencies even if they are not hiring. If you try hard enough at putting yourself out there you can get your foot in the door. Personal projects will only get you so far. You need to go to a studio/agency.

Most companies filled their summer internship positions back before December 2016, at the latest they were filled by march of this year. He wont find an internship until next year, and most wont take applicants that aren't attending school.

He just needs to put himself out there as much as possible, practice his interviewing skills and white boarding code and get something that way. As well as see if there are any job fairs nearby.

Aerospace Engineer here, currently on 80k + 20k benefits. Getting offers from the US and middle east for $140k USD, it's all good.

If anyone is young and single and doesn't have a degree, I would recommend going to be a trained aircraft mechanic for aero-structural work. They are in high demand right now. After a few years of experience, go contracting and you'll be looking at $50-60 per hour.

Retards think "Well, I put my application on Monster, so now it's just a waiting game"

Get your resume proof-read and critiqued by the best and brightest you can find in management positions.

Learn how to shake hands and make eye contact.

Find a job/employment center if they are in your area. They often have free printers. Print around 300 copies of your resume to get you started.

You gotta make it happen. Pound the pavement and drop paper apps EVERYWHERE that has work that half way resembles what you can (not want to) do. Even If they say "Apply online" make them take a hard copy. Ask to speak to the supervisor/manager/director/whatever. Physically place a resume in their hands. Who cares if they trash it. At least you did all you could. Be relentless. Don't be afraid to bug them. If someone gives you even the slightest green light and says "we will be in touch", keep following up. Be a squeaky wheel. If persistence, follow through and relentless pursuit of results turns them off, fuck em. You don't wanna work there. It's the only way you will make it happen. I don't care how far you are into the interview/hiring process, keep all options open and persue a Plan A, B, C, D and E.

Teacher, certified for k-12 w/advanced standing in Social Studies in NJ

I lucked out my first year out of college in a good school district teaching history.

The admins went nuts trying to get rid of this sucky tenured teacher, but they didn't have the legal recourse to fight it, and I (nontenured) had to be let go due to student enrollment numbers instead. So here I am still looking for a full time position, but I networked a lot and have some options.

Teaching is a great gig once you are set. Started at 54K after retro-renegotiation pay for 10 months of work, easy coaching gigs that will net you 3k a season after school for an hour (three seasons = 9k extra), great benefits, tenure, lots of snow days and vacations days, and if you are passionate about the subject, you can't put a price on the work. I am also back at my college part time gig working for the summer, so there is a lot you can do in those 2 months on the side or under the table.

You won't be a rich, but you will be perfectly comfortable in your position if you have any semblance of money management, healthy, secured in your position, and in a career that can allow you to make a difference if that's something you're into.

DC area. Most jobs where I lived before moving were still around 60-70k however. I had about 14 phone interviews, which lead to 9 in person or video interviews, and 3 of those ended up offering me a job right around the same time.

Sounds like your problem isn't your education, or experience, but probably that you're shit in interviews. If you still live near your university, go to the career center and schedule some practice times and polish up those skills. With 6 in person interviews you should've gotten at least one offer.

How do you earn your living as a beekeeper? Do you work for a company or is it your own thing where you sell the honey to local buyers?

>>135346241
Great. I do residential construction, and all the McMansions of the 80s-90s are starting to reach the point where they need work done. There is never enough time to take all of the jobs that I'd like to. If you know construction and can get a few good guys together, there's a shit load of money to be made. And with the right crew, there's no such thing as a difficult job. I probably experience less stress on a job site than an office worker trying to figure out Adobe Reader.

>>135361163

Getting wasted and posting on 4chan is pretty based

Crime scene cleanup. $20/hr about to get a raise to $22. 30-40 hours a week. I'm on call 24/7, but have a great full package of benefits, sometimes I get to travel to other states and don't pay a dime towards staying in fancy hotels or for food when I'm away.
Downside is that its crime scene cleanup. Kinda not fun scraping teenagers brains and chunks of skull off the walls and out of the carpets.

I know that feel. Using a computer in general while on hallucinogens is a bad idea I think, you feel so disconnected from it. I was so aware that I was this flesh sack sitting there staring at an inanimate object that it freaked me out. What I read didn't really affect me though.

Now weed, weed will make me get genuinely freaked out by the stuff I read here. I see a really redpilled post that I would normally just brush off but instead it freaks me the hell out.

How do you deal with the smell after anon?

>>135361748
A few. Had a case where a semi slammed into a minivan and splattered a mother and her two kids across a good stretch of the freeway. Found a neat pile of shit among the residue. It was the strangest thing to see.
Had another case where I got called out to a house where a kid blew his brains out in his truck, and let me tell you it is a pain to clean out all the skull bits.
When I first started working here my first job was cleanup after a junkie/hobo fight. Showed up in skid row, walk in to the house, and I swear there was more shit smeared around than blood. Got more, but it's not all that interesting.

>>135361976
Usually its suicides, but most actual criminal cleanups involve Mexicans more than blacks simply because there's 10x more Mexicans than blacks up here.

We don't always cleanup deaths, sometimes its just attempted murders and stuff. Had this one case where someone started a fire in what is essentially a hobocamp, most left but there were a few that were high or drunk or disabled and got burnt to death, like two iirc. One was fused to the springs on their mattress and I can't really remember the other. We worked with the PD to clean out that whole camp too. It smelled like a mixture of cat piss, paint thinner, and bleach and I can't tell you how many needles, glass bottles filled with some foul smelling shit, and actual buckets of shit we found.
The worst ones I think are the ones where there's pets involved. Some guy blew his cat and small dog up with a shotgun, then popped his own head. Made me sad cleaning bits of cat and dog up.

Yeah, typically they try not to tell you details when you go out to a job to prevent you from feeling anything, but police or EMTs or whoever is on site usually end up telling you anyway.

Chemical engineer just graduated in April. Went travelling for a few months after graduating so I've basically only just started the job hunt. Market seems to still be kinda rough but it's improving from what I hear. Apparently all of the UofC kids managed to land jobs so it shouldn't be too too bad for me. Main concerns are lack of internships and a meh GPA (3.2), but I did a great capstone for a large polymer company. Also picked up a book on coding in the mean while to figure out how to make an app I've been thinking of, and to gain some new skills.

Besides that the theme here in Calgary seems to be a lot of people my parents age were laid off and will probably never find work again, while young people struggle to enter their industries. Middle-management must be killing it these days in Calgary.

At first it was very unsettling, before that I saw gore on sites like bestgore, but never in person. After a few months I became desensitized to it, the really rattling things are finding bodies or parts that the first responders haven't found yet.

Engineering is OK, lots of job opportunities but too many are contract positions with lower wages/benefits because engineering getting overrun by indians and the companies that hire them cheap; most just memorized shit to pass their exams and can't think critically and just copy what others have done without understanding how something works i.e. what makes it good/bad. If you want monkeys that can do CAD, OK, but that's not real engineering. If you take time to look there are good paying jobs at good companies, but you really need to have connections to get them.

>>135352834
I think a lot of people here have jobs like that. Don't be disheartened. Save some money and move towards a plan of a way out, to something better.

Both of this. I currently work at a client site and I can't adjust my hours for doctor appointments or anything without it hurting my chargeable goals, which affects how much of a raise and bonus I get next year. Also I'm forced to use adobe reader for everything because that's how the client prepares their tax returns and provision work. All the boomer women managers love it because it's retardedly time consuming and makes them Feel purposeful. Boomers need to die and accounting sucks unless your autistic and find it exciting starring at a comp screen for 9+ hours or medicated on adderall, etc

Programmer here, there's a real shortage right now of skilled people in the software development industry. But a lot of the people getting CS degrees don't have a lot of relevant experience in the industry so they have to start at the bottom level, which you really don't need a CS degree to do so to them it's probably mind numbing. I don't have a CS degree, I taught myself how to code, and that's the case with most of the people I work with, pretty much only senior developers have CS degrees.

Our company doesn't deal with India at all, and our company sort of makes its name by being competitive with outsourcing prices so typically we are the ones who get contracted instead of Indians if they can't afford somebody more expensive. Our company is able to compete with outsourcing costs by paying below market value, but they still retain a lot of talent due to the fact that the corporate culture is awesome. I'd have to be offered a ton of money to give this place up cause I genuinely like working here, it's a great place.

But as to fixing shit, that is like 70% of what you do. Mostly you are testing code and trying to fix legacy code, and then maybe you write some code if you need to.

India can get results, but there is a huge cultural barrier and if you are ignorant of that you're going to have a very bad time. I don't have any personal experience, but people I work with used to work with companies that had to deal with India, and they told me that their caste/hierarchy system really fucks up the development workflow. Because the programmers are too terrified of their managers to speak up if they don't understand something or need help. They said though that once they finally got through to the indian teams that it was okay to fuck up as long as you came to them and asked for help, their output improved massively and there were far less errors. Bugs and mistakes happen all the time, but as long as the team cooperates and is willing to get help you can find and fix shit and stand it up at the end of the day.

Director of Marketing and Advertising.

A fulfilling career if you can handle the stress. Have to be willing to sacrifice pretty much your whole life to be constantly polishing everything about yourself, your company, and your network. It’s your job to be the standard for the company you represent, at all times.

Most “marketing guys” literally have no idea how real marketing works. The kind of people who run “SEO” companies and prey on dumb small business owners.

I make squarespace and Wordpress websites for professionals like dentists and lawyers. I work freelance. I would like to have a good app idea of my own, but can't think of anything. I am tired of freelancing now and would like to work more with Python and js frameworks in startup or bigger company. Sadly I am 30 and still freelance. I wish every company used Python, I really dislike java, asp.net, and php, but that's 80% of all developer jobs. I'm still stubborn and I'm determined to work with Python so I can be happy in my programming.

Medical insurance biller. Lots of jobs for the taking, but holy fuck is it soulless work. I actively make the world a worse place on a day to day basis. The stress is off the charts. No one knows how to do their job. Not my coworkers, not the morons in the doctor's office, not the Filipinos at the insurance call centers. Patients are constantly calling me with complaints, doctors always want me to somehow magic up some more money despite the fact that they're only seeing ten patients a day. All day long I'm doing my NASA research into problems that would take 10 seconds to deal with if people would fucking write notes instead of leaving an arcane mystery for me to unravel in every single account. I only make $12 an hour after 8 months. The only time I have taken off was to see my own doctor and even then I got a bill for something that I had already paid months earlier and had to spend a few days doing fucking research and making calls on my breaks to finally hear the "whoops, we goofed up, now your account is fixed teehee" that I then have to bust out my own sick rendition of that when some poor sod calls me an hour later claiming he and his wife paid their copay on several visits and now they're being billed for them because the goddamn useless office staff never bother to check payment records before they send me the equally useless stacks of the most generic and unspecific diagnoses to never establish medical necessity
