I'm receiving benefits, it's just not enough to keep me afloat, and they have been failing to process my claims correctly since day one, so sometimes those checks are delayed a week or more. Having a termination and employment gap is already working against me for the few applications I've managed to get through since then despite having over 15 years of experience.

as someone who quit this job and went abroad to teach English instead, do you not want to kill yourself every single day? Are you happy with your life?

>>59017891
I joke about killing myself everyday but this job is just until I finish university in a few months and I've been doing it for a few years now.
Also no I'm not that happy about my life but after I graduate I plan on moving to a not shit area.

>>59018160
I moved from the UK to Taiwan. The process was fairly simple, I came here on a 90 day tourist visa, applied for jobs, got one, then the school sponsored my work visa and that's all there was to it.

Before suicide you can try learning a trade.

>>59019364
Give him a break. I'm a millennial that fell for that entitled bullshit but the reason many are like this is because all through schooling (primary and secondary) we are fed a ton of lies about how the "real" world works and were given false numbers and facts on jobs, what they pay, etc.. After getting my first real job a week in I realized all of the people who were trying to tell me what it's like and what to expect had never had a "real" job.

>>59019445
I was like that, and I got butthurt (plus, at 29, I am a millennial too and was just rusing you all), but in the end I put food in boxes in a factory. Life is shit and everyone is miserable. But there are decent jobs out there now, unless when I was a fresh-faced graduate in 2008, and if they aren't decent enough for you, you'll have to get ready to work your way up to them. I feel for NEETs, because I have been one for many years, but even a shit job is better than NEETism so don't act like shit jobs are beneath you.

>>59019565
This. I've worked shit jobs since I was 15 and I worked full-time through university in order to afford life itself.

>>59019364
I'm not looking for high paying jobs. I'd be satisfied with 20k/yr. I just want SOMETHING. I don't see any entry level jobs anywhere

>>59019112
Don't take required experience years too serious anon.
Get yourself up and apply anyway. There is a chance you can change their mind in the interview as long as you are not a total 0.
You cant lose anything.

My roommate did exactly this and he was successful with it.

>>59016445
Sort of, but IT crowd is actually funny

>>59019664
Look for internships then. Many companies have went away from labeling entry level job to calling them "internships" it's better for them because they can trial you for 6 months at low pay rather than near full pay and only having the 3 month trial period.

>>59019664
Then in that case, you're in the same position I was in! Where do you live? I will look online for you because I am bored.

This is what happens when you work IT at the government, never have anything to do, so fucking overstaffed.

At least they contribute over 1500 bucks a month to my retirement. Make 92k, get about 4 weeks off a year, super great health insurance that costs me almost nothing (40 bucks a month). I might start climbing the ladder, they have some technical positions that pay 150k-170k+

I just started working here about a year ago, so I am only on step 2 of 5 steps, at step 5 I'll be making 110k+, but it'd be really nice to get close to 200k.

Dunno, this is really boring, I'm more used to working for the entirety of my 40 hours a week each week plus some other stuff on evenings and weekends. Also all of my coworkers are borderline retarded.

Ring, ring.
Them: Hi, the database isn't working.
Me: Is your intranet working.
Them: No.
Me: Well the database runs on the intranet.
Them: Oh!

It's ok for a while (showing off competence), but year after year...

Working on someone elses work: see they were pretending to be programmers and db devs who had no best practices or standards.

Stare at a computer all day long, or listen to busy-ness people babble in meetings merely so they can say something. One hour meetings run late and little is ever decided.

At least there is less incivility compared to grunt workers (construction labor, truck drivers, taxi driers).

Here's the secret, anon.
They post those crazy job requirements so that it eliminates 99% of people qualified for the job.
On the off chance they find someone with all of those qualifications, they offer them absolute shit pay so nobody in their right mind would take it.

The company is hiring H1Bs. Federal law requires them to demonstrate they were unable to find a candidate. They'll leave that posting up for ~3 months before going to a company like Tata.

why do they even want to live in the US? Pajeets basically hate white people and western culture.

>>59027236
Ayyy Amazon. Good luck buddy. I quit in December.

>>59027305
Colonization. Every single one of them wants one thing: promotion. They want promotion so they can bring over more Pajeets. Qualification for them is just a means to hire more of their own. Some of them are alright, but given their collective attitude towards their own, I couldn't trust any of them with hiring power.

But honestly they'll take over one way or the other. They have nothing special by way of aptitude, but they're absolutely hungry for that power and don't give a single fuck about what they need to do in order to get it. It's just a matter of time.
