It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.

GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!

what level of IT are you applying to? (for example helpdesk, technician, sysadmin, network engineer, etc.)

asking because I'm kind of thinking of switching from SWE to IT (I don't like programming as much and arent as good at it as I expected when I started years ago) and I'm just curious whether even the lower levels roles like helpdesk are flooded

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

helpdesk and network engineer mostly but kinda just anything that pops up (which is most roles that have engineer in the title). i have experience in security engineering, which is close enough to a lot of IT stuff sorta kinda if you lie on your resume a little. helpdesk is the most flooded bc it has the least requirements i think, but i haven't had any luck with the other ones either soooo i dunno

good luck finding a job that isn't soul crushing comrade rat-salute
