you dont even have to get the right answer

2019-09-05 08:07:14 UTC  

Man, get this. My very first IT interview, and it was for an obscure position. The application was absolutely garbage. I pulled teeth, but found out they wanted a jack of all trades who could do Help Desk, Networking, and System Admin shit with Active Directory and Microsoft. The starting pay was $13/hr and when I asked what their max limit was it was $17/hr and for the COL of the area that's still garbage.

2019-09-05 08:07:54 UTC  

I didn't get the position, but it's probably because my expression came across as: "you have to be fucking with me right now."

2019-09-05 08:08:04 UTC  

I probably came off as snarky, lmao.

2019-09-05 08:08:11 UTC  

LOL rightly so

2019-09-05 08:08:42 UTC  

I'm like, bruh, for $13/hr you can go hire the McDonalds worker around the street.

2019-09-05 08:08:54 UTC  

sounds like a company trying to minimize their IT cost

2019-09-05 08:09:16 UTC  

Agreed. If it was an intern position then by all means.

2019-09-05 08:09:17 UTC  

like hiring an intern for intern wage and have him do 4 ppls job

2019-09-05 08:09:36 UTC  

If anything it's experience, but for an actual job?

2019-09-05 08:09:38 UTC  

You get what you pay for.

2019-09-05 08:09:45 UTC  

Man... Don't get me started.

2019-09-05 08:09:47 UTC  

I did that too.

2019-09-05 08:09:55 UTC  

or even worse, and illegal, hiring an unpaid intern for 4 ppls jobs

2019-09-05 08:10:00 UTC  

6-months internship for the State free.

2019-09-05 08:10:09 UTC  

LMAO.

2019-09-05 08:10:16 UTC  

theres more stringent regulations on unpaid interns than paid.

2019-09-05 08:10:29 UTC  

it has to be primarily educational for one

2019-09-05 08:10:45 UTC  

you cant have them do a job that should be reserved for an actual employee

2019-09-05 08:11:04 UTC  

this is because too many companies abused unpaid interns.

2019-09-05 08:11:22 UTC  

I was a noob with no knowledge round them parts. It was a graduation requirement to intern for at least 15 hours per week for one quarter (3-months). However, I as a intern am taking away work from actual Employees which is even worse when you start running in circles around scrubs.

2019-09-05 08:11:31 UTC  

So that had a huge discrepancy with higher ups in the State.

2019-09-05 08:11:35 UTC  

And that got fuckkked.

2019-09-05 08:11:50 UTC  

Interns now have to be paid.

2019-09-05 08:12:42 UTC  

6-months of my life I can't get back.

2019-09-05 08:12:56 UTC  

And what's worse is for w/e reason they needed me to intern for 25 hours instead of 15.

2019-09-05 08:13:14 UTC  

Definitely abused.

2019-09-05 08:17:55 UTC  

oh for sure. it made the budget look great lol

2019-09-05 08:21:45 UTC  

Indeed.

2019-09-05 08:21:50 UTC  

How much time left at college do you have Big?

2019-09-05 08:22:14 UTC

2019-09-05 08:23:03 UTC  

Nice!

2019-09-05 08:23:07 UTC

2019-09-05 08:23:34 UTC

2019-09-05 08:24:51 UTC  

Ah, that's right. I'm half asleep, lol.

2019-09-05 08:25:24 UTC  

Do you have any companies in mind that you want to apply after graduation, or a price point?

2019-09-05 08:26:52 UTC  

i do, cant really say here on discord as we have some amongst us who i do not trust. price point wise, many graduates here get offers between 120k-180k

2019-09-05 08:28:56 UTC
