Date: November 12th, 2017 1:02 PM Author: bright blood rage I do some backend stuff with node.js. But most of the companies around here, except amazon, use Java or C#.

Date: November 12th, 2017 1:26 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig They are pretty much the same thing with C# you are sucking Bill Gate's dick, Java it's Larry Ellison.
I was migrating some Java6 binaries to Java8 and there was some string compatibility issues. So Java6 is compatible with Java8 except if your program uses strings for some reason. |

|
Date: November 12th, 2017 1:04 PM Author: bright blood rage From my experience reaching out to recruiters, new businesses may not be adopting Java as readily as Python, but many established corps don't want to move away from Java. And if they do, it seems they are going for C# not Python. Python is more for the startups in my area. Also data analytics and shit, but I'm not interested in that.

|
Date: November 12th, 2017 1:16 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig You and Google wish
Python has been around for a long time Go, is just like C#, Swift, and all the other languages big tech wants to control
They want you to spend all your time reading docs, working, looking for your next gig, doing stuff on the side to make you employable. |

Date: November 12th, 2017 1:14 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig That is true big businesses can't use Python because there is nowhere to send the check to (ok that is a bad joke)
Java really has a performance advantage, but there are only certain applications that need it. Like say gmail's login service. Like you say the corporate environment is C# and Java. If you want to work for Indians it's the way to go. The H1-B environment is getting harder so eventually things will get better, but eventually we'll either be dead or too old to get hired. (let's be real) And Indians are the biggest racists on Earth and they taking out #MAGA on the white man. If you don't believe me research how easy it is for a person of non-Indian heritage to see how easy it is to work in their technology industry.
Not that you'd want to they haven't built a train since the white man built them one during the Indian Raj (which they resent). Power is not a full time thing, you can get the death penalty but still if they're going to send a bunch of monkeys here to send their wages back to Punjab, the least they can do as hypothetically let us do the same (even if conditions are so bad nobody would take them up)
It's sort of a situation like where Peterman gets fucked up the ass by a trucker without getting at least paid for it. |

Date: November 12th, 2017 1:42 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig not really their fault it's because they grew up beating servants just how they treat people they perceive as beneath them
lol @ the lib notion the indians over here are like slumdog millionaire its the rich ones coming over saving money and buying property back in Bangalore. You can get a condo for like $18k. I mean not you if you don't have Indian ethnic heritage. Buy you get my drift.
same was true when I was 20 and a waiter those motherfuckers would buy a bottle of wine and demand you refill their glass each time they were done. lol 10% tip if you were lucky |

Date: November 12th, 2017 1:48 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig I mean if you're cool having the same job the rest of your life. If you want to be promoted... the knives come out and the Indians will bunch together. only real way I'd advise if you were Russian/Jew some way to form your own community. You can't exactly have gentile white man club at BigCorp. My advise would be pretend to be gay.
To be fair, the last bigcorp I worked at I was hired by a bunch of Chinese, they all got laid off somewhat unexpectedly (one of them told me when I was hired the company didn't even lay off during 2009 recession)
The Chinese hated the Japanese because of some WWII bullshit rape of manchuria or something. So I wouldn't of gotten hired if I were the wrong kind of Asian. Racism is everywhere, I'm just trying to get to a place where white man is still king (skilled trades) |
|
Date: November 12th, 2017 1:49 PM Author: razzle balding office juggernaut Yeah good point. I don't try to get promoted from within though, I just jump ship every 2 or 3 years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3794547&forum_id=2#34668404) |

Date: November 12th, 2017 4:06 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig I figured I was going to die of drug overdose if I kept jumping around. One of my friends that I worked with went to Citibank same turd ceiling. These guys aren't going anywhere. Even Asians don't advance.
I'm not aware of any top tier Wall Street IT institution that is not infested with Indians. Rather just be my own boss than work for some fucker that came here when he was 30 and I was 15. These guys aren't going anywhere soon. Maybe hope for the next generation. LOL @ anyone that dreams of working on Wall Street. I feel good I at least achieved a shitty dream instead of failing at a good dream. |

Date: November 12th, 2017 1:17 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig you are stuck. all these computer science majors that are going to be graduating soon will surely raise your wages
best advice being given here is Python |

Date: November 12th, 2017 1:21 PM Author: bright blood rage What about C# (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3794547&forum_id=2#34668241) |
|
Date: November 12th, 2017 1:28 PM Author: turquoise sex offender filthpig If you want to do big corp and work for an Indian middle manager go for it
worse ways to make $100k
but if you aren't lucky you will learn the difference between working for someone who grew up with servants and a normal person
and LOL at moving up against the brown block my experience is limited to big banks which are infested with Indians I don't know if say Deloitte is any better. |

|
Date: November 12th, 2017 1:57 PM Author: pearl floppy locus wow, i think this guy might honestly not know this. In the trades government usually regulates whether you can complete work or not. You need "Master" or "Journeyman" status to sign off on work. To get that you need to spend 3-5 years as an apprentice depending on the trade and the state. |
