The market really does suck. Don't take your job for granite if you have one. I'm in a stable job but been apply to dozen others every few months since end of lock down. You get one or two phone interviews per 20 applications. Plus the offers are shit compared to what I current have.
maybe the market will recover someday, don't count on it tho
Sure market sucks but this guy sounds like a total skizzo ... Guy "has" a post grad degree get still worrying about his gpa? I smell total bull shit... All of it.
>JOB MARKET IS LE ROUGH/BAD/SHIT/COAL
Nah there's junior oversupply.

To be fair, everybody told them to go CS, them and arts students got treated like kings by the faculty and administration, but few people wanted to look at the CEs, and nobody wanted to comfort a CE that was struggling.

it's so obvious that you're not a math PhD lol. The real answer is research and consulting, pretty much everywhere in the private industry, for very good money. Or academic positions for varying amounts of money

because you're wrong, and you're a larping retard who clearly knows nothing about what a math PhD does. You sound like a high schooler who thinks he has his shit figured out

I can say the exact same thing about you, homosexual. I personally know CS undergrads who are now in actuary. You are not a fucking math PhD, you are a larping homosexual. I'm not trying to amuse you, I'm calling you out.

Seething. My list above wasn't even exhaustive, just some of the things math phds do, apparently another one we can add to the list is arguing with retards on the internet, but I don't want to make a habit of it.
Wait, you think that Mathematicians do not do cryptographic research? That this is somehow only reserved for computer science? Au contraire my retarded friend, this is so strongly correlated to mathematics that we actually see the department combine both those with a background in Pure and Applied mathematics.
> Wait, you think that Mathematicians do not do cryptographic research? That this is somehow only reserved for computer science?
No. It's just not what you'd answer to someone asking what a typical math major does for a living. It's like someone asking "what does a dev with a BS in CS do for a living?" and getting a bullshit answer like "they do circuit design with VHDL and software verification" . It's not exactly false but it's also not representative of what most CS grads do, and in fact you'll find that most people got those jobs through CE. This homosexual gave an entire list of jobs and didn't bother naming a single one of the common ones that math PhDs tend to have

The number one thing that math phds do is... research. In industry, it's all of those fields and a lot more. Basically any time you need someone with extreme confidence. The same reason many Physics phds also do quant. Mathfags doing HFT is not bizarre at all, so it's very strange that it triggers you.
Can I hazard a guess that you "hate math" because you failed out of your first proof-based math course, like so many other CS students?

The closest thing to a "programming degree" is CS, and it's bullshit how not only is it treated as such by colleges themselves, but you are expected to learn things like discrete mathematics if you want to have it.

If you cannot do discrete math you might as well be a webshit bootcamper. Very basic linear algebra is used in pretty much all areas of upper computer science courses.

What's retarded about that? Explain in detail, think hard and put a lot of effort into your response.
Also a math PhD is verifiable proof that you're highly competent and capable of getting things done, so you're unlikely to have trouble actually getting useful work done in an office environment.
If your high school teacher actually had a math phd (not teaching) you were incredibly blessed.
She will get "promoted" by her rich, muscular boss. She will realize her true value, and that she has been oblivious to the social hierarchy for a long time. She will start distancing herself from you. You won't get any explanations apart from "I have a headache" etc etc. But hey, I'm really happy for her and her boss. You should be too. Accept your inferiority, boy.
this bears repeating

The US has less than 4% unemployment. I can't wait until there is a real crisis so fags know what it really is like. I'll be selling the ropes.
it's bad for tech/remote work in particular. obviously it's not a bad time to get a job if you're an electrician or some shit.
I was making 60$/hr as a 3D environment artist before the pandemic, had lots of money saved and took 1.5 years off, now there's almost no work available
I automated my job seeking process with python and GPT4 and I had sent a custom tailored application and cover letter to every single company within a 100km radius in about 3 days, right as I was finishing my undergrad last spring. I also used GPT + some cronjobs and statistics to generate fake commits and commit reasonable looking code to my git every day (lower on weekends or holidays of course). I got overwhelmed with interview requests and had my pick of the litter.
If you can't find a job in this market, that means you aren't using the right tools and you aren't automating your tasks effectively. If you aren't doing those things you've already failed as a programmer. If you can't manage this, consider yourself filtered before you even applied.
Realized this way too late and wasted a lot of time sending sub oar cover letters. Can't wait for the day when corps catch up to the fact that AI basically invalidates 90% of the recruiting process.
Every time I read one of these posts it's someone complaining that they cant find a job after applying to multiple hundreds. You are doing something wrong if you are applying to that many.
Everybody who has no job wishes they had one. Everybody who has a job wishes they didn't have one. The path of the wagecuck is an ironic paradox that ends with you old, ugly and crippled in a rest home with nothing to show for it, slowing decomposing in front of a tv blaring infomercials. If you were able to learn how to program computers and you still haven't figured out how to generate income without resorting to wagecuckoldry then you're fucking up.
