>>22582194I actually taught my roommate C++ and he got pretty good with it (and the necessary stuff like cross-compiling, linking/deps/deployment, etc.)-- I figured he'd have no trouble getting an internship, but he couldn't get anything despite having projects and all the stuff we're told to do.
In the end, I managed to get him an internship in my department, but still... we shouldn't *have* to do this shit... meritocracy my ass. Two bosses back, I had one straight-up tell me "It's not what you know, it's who you know, and that's why I'm in this chair."
>>22582216I dunno man. half of my former coworkers have families, so they'll probably accept anything they can get. But the rest of us? We're pissed off. We don't need much money to live, so we can stay afloat with contracts, but this job market is cooked, at least for tech. And that bubble seems to be popping... (
>>>/biz/ has a few threads on this)
I wonder how much of this is caused by ghost jobs... we had a good thread on that yesterday, maybe re-make your OP tying in ghost jobs and political reforms to fix that?
