new year new computer touching two of my current job's clients have fled with the new year so it's really really time to go look at being a stemlord.

i like how these threads turned from support group for job seekers to cranky bastards making GBS threads on anyone daring to seek employment in the noble profession of computer touching.

okay friends, life circumstances have taken a turn for the poo poo for me and i need to go find different employment. i still have my current job, but this place is wobbling like a penguin and i should get out now while i still can. i have a couple months before the wheels pop off the cart, so it isn't as if I'll be on the street if i don't find a job tomorrow, but there is pressure. my problem is that i have no loving idea how to go about this or where i would fit in. i can code python some, i feel like i could pass your average coding interview based on my experiences & practice with sample quizzes, but i have no degree and any professional experience is stuff that I've just blarneyed together. halp.

ADINSX posted:Probably; but at least they gave you a bit more. If I suspect I'm underpaid, I've had success in the past by talking to my manager and saying 'I know I screwed up negotiating when hired and would like a raise to compensate'. Obviously depends on the company policy/culture/how much they need you, etc. I feel like i'm in the correct ballpark at least from my palz that work there. Joke's on them they could have offered half as much and I would have said yes yes yes.

meatpotato posted:I’m about to mess one up in five minutes i did really well on mine, and we had a great time although it was nerve wracking having three people staring me down. i was able to spin the questions that they were asking into things that were relevant to their business and that got a lot of happy noises. i wouldn't have done really well if i hadn't spent a lot of time practicing on my own and roleplaying it out in my head.

Arcsech posted:e: you could always send a follow-up email, I have literally had the "forgot to follow up" thing This. Sending a follow up email is professional and in fact looks good. Greet. Mention why you're sending the email. Specifically mention the time you interviewed and for the title of position. Let them know you're still interested and would love to hear about any next steps. Ask for an update. Love, You.

These are learnable skills just like technical ones. No one came fresh from the womb knowing how to code or blarney your way into some dollar dollar bills.

I work at a place where the software development people are "IT" and "install windows, bring you a mouse, manage the servers, spy on the employees email" people are called something else, and they don't have the same reporting chain. There really isn't any consistency across organizations.

qhat posted:I just see it as if you're not exceptional (to me this is well over six figures), native citizens should always take strong precedence over you in skills based immigration. Unskilled should not be eligible for anything other than strictly temporary or family based immigration. economic migrants are bad except when they are me, literally.

Quackles posted:Please understand that I don't intend this as any sort of slam on you, dig at you, etc. But I'm curious. What made you decide to go into programming in the first place, if you knew you didn't really like doing it that much? if i need to trade my time in order to live, i want to get the best value i can for it.

PIZZA.BAT posted:this is good news. if they knew they didn’t want to hire you they’d just tell you now. they probably have one other candidate they already have scheduled but they feel pretty confident it will be you I know. I did my interviews and assessments ages ago and every follow up has been like this. These people are slow and I knew that going in, just my friends who also are in this hiring cycle (for different positions) are starting to get word and I want to hear back too.

also people touching roles include "business analyst" and "scrum master" agile training/certificates are not super expensive and it's a good grift.
