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.
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."
I probably came off as snarky, lmao.
LOL rightly so
I'm like, bruh, for $13/hr you can go hire the McDonalds worker around the street.
sounds like a company trying to minimize their IT cost
Agreed. If it was an intern position then by all means.
like hiring an intern for intern wage and have him do 4 ppls job
If anything it's experience, but for an actual job?
You get what you pay for.
Man... Don't get me started.
I did that too.
or even worse, and illegal, hiring an unpaid intern for 4 ppls jobs
6-months internship for the State free.
LMAO.
theres more stringent regulations on unpaid interns than paid.
it has to be primarily educational for one
you cant have them do a job that should be reserved for an actual employee
this is because too many companies abused unpaid interns.
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.
And that got fuckkked.
Interns now have to be paid.
6-months of my life I can't get back.
And what's worse is for w/e reason they needed me to intern for 25 hours instead of 15.
Definitely abused.
oh for sure. it made the budget look great lol
Indeed.
How much time left at college do you have Big?
one more semester after this one
Nice!
What particular field?
computer science. remember?
Ah, that's right. I'm half asleep, lol.
Do you have any companies in mind that you want to apply after graduation, or a price point?
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
speaking of
Fuck where you live though.
Dat COL though.
its an insane cost of living yea
