With the new scare of North Koreans and Chinese spies in high-tech jobs, more companies are doing very stringent background checks now and as a consequence lying will get you removed from the hiring pool. I had no clue about this until another poster on this very forum brought it up.

The solution is just not hire chinks, the world would be so much easier if everyone was racist.

Theres been a massive ritalin shortage for months now, but thats because the FDA refuses to let more than a set amount of the main chemical in it be produced in the handful of labs allowed to produce it.

That what you're talking about?

Not really, the people I've heard dooming are in oil & gas. they were dooming about shortages or running out of engine oil and oils for making plastics and so on.

I really hate it when people act like if we cut the space program which is a really a tiny rounding error of the budget we'd all be living in a communist utopia with no poverty across the world. The space program is to me one of the few things that even though can get derailed a lot is something the government actually produces irl results within instead of making things worse.
 
The Ugly One powiedział(a):
Cybersecurity did not "get shut down;" it's boom industry right now. AI's created an infinite attack surface, regulators are tightening ransomware defense requirements, attackers are using one-off AI-generated malware, on and on. Cohesity's hiring, Trend Micro's hiring, Commvault's hiring, Palo Alto's hiring, fucking everybody in cybersecurity is hiring right now. The need for security has so outpaced what medium-sized and smaller companies can do that CISO-as-a-service companies are popping up and raking it in. There was a deceleration in some of the retail-aligned industries last year, but it's picking up in health care and finance.



Get your shit together.

Most Cybersecurity people are retards only capable of running commercial pen test software and they don't even understand the results of it. Hence why everyone hates them. But even the entry level cybersec roles pay quite a lot relative to the experience. I would argue most of the boom into this sector was this type of hire.

The best cybersecurity people often spent years as devs or network engineers and are able to provide lots of thoughtful leadership in terms of building systems of systems. Retards don't get these jobs though and are not even capable of it in the first place.

If I chimp out any harder about it, I am going to subscribe to pewdiepie. In roblox, of course.

This was already a problem for decades for blue collar workers, and unfortunately, the time for collective chimping was back then. Instead, workers got told to suck it up for "progress", and the process of using machines and foreigners to replace Americans has thus been thoroughly normalized at this point. If you really want to make this a big deal, then stop hyperfocusing on industries and "professionals" that you favor, and start including every single American worker getting fucked by robo and foreign dogshit. You need Willy the Welder and Tim the Trucker, not just Andy the Accountant and Paul the Programmer, at least if you want to make enough noise for it to matter.

It will be an uphill battle, though. I have been assured for decades that automation and foreign labor is fantastic, and anyone who complains got the "dey terk er jerb" treatment. I do not foresee that mindset changing until after those previously unaffected have also had der jerbs terk.

For all the talk about the Dems being broke I just don't believe it:

When something matters the Dems spend the money. On the flip side the Republicans could be spending pennies to save like 5 House Seats, completely stop the momentum of the left, and embarrass the fuck out a new State Dem government. But nope! Can't do shit about that!

Just lie about experience that's literally what everyone else did

No, start a security business and name your position as Cybersecurity Architect and a year or so later change it to Security Director or Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

Get your grandma to hire your company so you have a client. It’s not like you aren’t already setting up malware blockers on her laptop so she doesn’t get scammed by a Facebook post.

Easy to get years of experience without lying.

Things can be crazy like that. I forgot an expired certification I had, left it out of a screening survey, and was told I was no longer being considered due to them finding I had the cert from a cert check on my name and therefor considering my application falsified.

An EXPIRED cert that I forgot about ever having cost me a shot at a job.

Yeah, you can't go wrong with 'consultant' really. They're not supposed to ask salary or much details unless you were terminated with cause from someplace. When I said 'it's ok to lie everyone does' on experience I didn't mean anyone should say they were some fortune 500 even midlevel. Just 'family run company' can pretty much anything.

I haven't seen Miller kicking the hornet's next like this is awhile, it's nice.

My biggest fear re: jobs is in the next 3-5 years AI is successful in eliminating millions of white collar jobs and has a downstream effect of killing entry level jobs. At the same time we have a Democrat president that opens the floodgates to illegals again to provide dirt cheap slave labor.
