Why are self-hating techies always so racist?

>>353
tell me u dont work in tech without…

it aint a mystery this field is packed with indians how is that racist liberal

its a rather comfy job in my europoor shithole, mostly german companies outsourcing here.
in anglo/westoid cunts it seems to be saturated though, youre better off learning a trade

I think you just suck at your job

Specialise, jack of all trades is a master of none.

Simply don't be a javascript dev. Make small, efficient things in rust and don't stay anywhere for too long.

IMO the problem with immigrants is that they tend to have an upwardly mobile petty-bourgeois mentality. It doesn't help that immigration selects for a wealthier and more privileged strata.
It's just kind of a shit situation all around which fucks with solidarity. IDK how to solve the gusano problem.

The labor aristos are getting class conscious.

>Get paid $120k a year in a LCOL area
>Work from home
>Work 5-10 hours a week depending on number of meetings
>Slack off and play video games most of the day
>Play DnD with my coworkers during work hours.
>Still manage to finish my assigned tasks
It's a pretty sweet gig. Mid-level engineer at a logistics company.

Practice. Although from what I have gathered it's mostly an american problem

The blogpost you linked claims that they should, not that they are. Instead they are just bitching about Indians taking "their" jobs, like OP does.

Not really something I've encountered at all in the logistics industry. You'll get paid less, but working for a small/medium sized company that isn't primarily software oriented is a much comfier lifestyle.

Practice a lot. If you get a good interviewer doesn't matter how well you do the problem, but about how cool your are, how communicative you are, and if you can think of different strategies even if they're wrong. Structuring code, naming variables correctly, stuff like this.

Practicing is very important and will give you an edge. Finally it's a numbers game, you need to go through this humiliation ritual several times, and face rejection. Think of it like practice.
>t. Have worked for Big Tech, in several countries around the world, senior engineer, have interviewed numerous people as well.

Anybody here been a network tech?
I'm in school about to graduate with a degree related to networking after switching over to it when I realized that I hated coding. I'm not expecting to make >40k to start off with, but I'm worried that I don't have enough experience to skip over more help desk stuff (did that last year) and that hating coding will bite me in the ass, since one of my instructors mentioned that the orchestration that lots of companies are turning to is more reliant on coding the control plane than loading up a config onto a switch/router.
I'm also very weak so I don't think going the cabling route will necessarily be a path forward either.
