Looking for jobs

I chose to be a programmer because it's less frustrating to fix your own software than to deal with the bugs in someone else's.

I'm a machinist, tell me about it.

Been working as a high school teacher instead since it's impossible to find work in manufacturing.

Kinda wish I had a president like Trump then maybe things would be looking up.

I wish I had a President like Trump too.

Not really. Even the developers of the most widely used enterprise (((tm))) software get their balls crushed by their sales and distribution departments if their partners have a problem.

Real life example: It's a lot easier for me to get an error in our proprietary firewall appliance of choice fixed than it is to get the pfsense fags to even acknowledge that there's something wrong at all.

This is the answer. Corporations are making you compete globally on wages but at the same time prevent you from making compete globally on prices.

A good percentage of the positions you are apply for they do not want to receive applications for. 100% shitcanning all resumes. "see, we can't find qualified US applications!! Give us the H1Bs!!". The minimum requirements are written so that they do not find qualified applicants. They do not want to. This is a prerequisite for sucking on the H1B tit.

kys you're self

55k is what they pay senior devs with years of experience in germany
Entry level is 30k

I was making 42k as a part time intern. 63k as an entry level full time dev after that. Then again don't you have all kinds of "free" shit like healthcare and education over there?

Nothing is free. You still pay for all of it just not as much as in america i guess.

Cost of living matters. I could move to Commiefornia and be making 150k doing the same job, but I would never do that because after factoring in cost of living I've be making LESS than I am at 63k somewhere else.
