True shitposting
I switched from controls engineering to information technology - in industrial automation interviews not once was I asked to prove my knowledge about PLCs or anything like that, they trusted my education and experience.
The interviews in information technology were like "make us a working app for free before we have a second round of interviews" even after few years of previous experience in their specific field and a repository to show off my free-time projects.
I switched because I got tired of traveling, but holy shit I miss the job market of industrial automation. I still feel like I got more respect working in automation field than I have ever gotten working as a software developer.
That's the advice I've gotten here pretty much, and will probably deal with it in that way from now on!
It is sad that we have to do that, but don't think this will change any time soon.
That's probably exactly what I'll be doing from now on. Was hoping for the simple "would you like to join?" but guess that's out of style.
Damn, should've tried that! Thanks for the tip!
That's a very interesting way to end up here, welcome!
+1 for voyager. I like other apps too but voyager has felt like a fresh breeze.
Same, I have tried DDG every once in a while but kept going back to google. Now google search doesn't quite give me relevant results anymore and all the AI crap just takes all of their effort to work on search itself.
Been using DDG for a few weeks now for personal and work related stuff - quite happy with it.
Don't know whether you mean that as a joke, but I can tell you it is very real thing world wide still.
How did I miss this, thanks! What an awesome website.

Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense for targeted ads for sure. Still a bit worried about hashtags being used for ads since I follow a lot of hashtags on mastodon and usually have a quite a nice "organic" feed compared to other social media.
