idk I do a lotta random poo poo. I do fpga and microcontroller stuff by jobtitle but most of my job enjoyment happens in c# development or tooling work (c#/Haskell lmao) I don't really know what I want to do and that's kind of been loving over my job search for the past year+

step one is to decide what you want

then you tailor your resume and cover letters and practice interviews to go get it

u ever think about what incredible horse poo poo hft is? jiggling some bits around to summon money from the ether? remember the "flash crash" when some bad software did some cascade reaction and they rolled back the market? i remember. lol. Cool.

not really app. for this thread (the job hunting thread) but i just want to put out there, into the world, that the buyers and sellers of paper products need to be launched into orbit and reduced to the universe's base elements by the incredible weapons of the Culture - bringing to bear the awesome power of Gridfire to break their very atoms down into the pre-cosmic sub-dust from whence they came in the time before the cosmos knew mass.

being "flexible" and getting moved all over creation is a good thing. it means you have more fodder for the resume, and you can build a variety of different resumes to suit different job applications

the catch is that when you are looking at a specific job, you gotta come up with a specific resume to match it. don't put every g-d thing you ever did for anybody on there. use the stuff that is coherent with a specific narrative that leads to you getting a specific job.

the only reason you'll have trouble sleeping at night is people calling you about production issues at 4am because the euro markets opened and everything went to hell

the problem with being able to do everything when people know that is everyone asks you for everything. it's great when you're looking for a new job and can tailor your resume for what you really want to do but don't you dare let them catch on that you're 'good with computers' (i'm not a CS person) or you will be stuck forever fixing stupid poo poo because they don't want to call IT
