@vriska don't even joke about that. LinkedIn is the worst social network

@coolboymew @vriska I don't care if I never get a decent job after college because of it. I'm never using that shit.

@xianc78 @vriska basically, get a really good internship, tough it out, get hired and attempt to stay there for 2-3 years or you'll get fucked

@coolboymew @vriska I'm in my last semester of college. I was unable to get an internship due to the COVID shitshow. It's straight to the workforce for me. Luckily, my brother is in the same field as I am and can easily help me get a job.

@xianc78 @vriska yeah, connections. That's the second best thing. If you got 'em, use 'em. You'll need it for starting up

@coolboymew @vriska That's pretty difficult for an autistic person like me, but I'm trying my best.

@xianc78 @vriska I have 0 social skills, so yeah, it was hard for me. Took a fucking year to get a job after being fucked by the internship

@coolboymew @vriska It's really hard. I also didn't have time to work on programming projects in my free time due to school and my part-time job. I haven't finished a hobby project since high school and those projects were shitty clones of old Atari games.

@xianc78 @vriska you want those in the future. I'm not a programmer but I know that a good portfolio will do you good at the right places on top of sharpening your skills. I got a programmer friend that does none of this and unsurprisingly, he had a harder time with finding and keeping a job. Thankfully he seems to do ok lately, he somehow landed at some place where people are apparently worse than he is
