Date: March 21st, 2026 5:34 PM Author: Honey-headed feces it gets him the occasional interview but never an offer because Liberal Artist "coders" can't hack it in the modern job market unless they're a woman or minority.

Date: March 21st, 2026 5:35 PM Author: Soggy racy menage best thing about interviews at least for fake bullshit non Engineering jobs is you literally never know why you didn't get it, you always have to make some shit up to fill in the blanks. sometimes you find out the person who got it and are like holy shit lmao. like when olds say they get passed over because of age discrimination. they're literally just making that up. they might just suck for totally unrelated reasons.

Date: March 21st, 2026 5:43 PM Author: Honey-headed feces that's why i've been using quotes around the word "coder" here. haven't worked with him professionally but i assume his technical skills just suck, which is unsurprising given his BA in Political Science.

Date: March 21st, 2026 5:47 PM Author: Fear-inspiring Bateful Public Bath Immigrant No doubt his technical skills do suck, but interviews don't reward skills, just phenotype. If he was a Nerd, his phenotype would cause them to assume that a BA in Political Science was only due to autistic interests.

Date: March 21st, 2026 5:51 PM Author: Honey-headed feces not only do his technical skills probably suck, but he's too attached to what appears to be a professional dead-end for him. he regularly attends tech meetups and spams his resume. someone needs to tell him to give up and try something different.

Date: March 21st, 2026 6:05 PM Author: Soggy racy menage Engineering interviews are Engineering based. literally all other interviews no one asks you anything about anything they just kill time and assess phenotype
have you ever done the ones where they talk about the company for a really really long time and there's no way for you to interject and make it more of a back and forth for the entire 20 minutes they spend on it? are these good or bad? they're terrible. it's like they just want to make it phenotype and not even give you a chance to express your talking phenotype. |

Date: March 21st, 2026 6:07 PM Author: Translucent forum potus You mean they don't give him interviews based on his BA degree?
Can't he just tweak it and list a BS degree in CS? If all they need is coding skills and he has them, he can simply pretend he got a STEM degree 10 years ago. |

Date: March 21st, 2026 6:37 PM Author: Soggy racy menage Liberal arts is literally life ruining. If you have prole relatives and that’s your Major they’re like “stop. Final Warning” meanwhile you’re like “an educated populace is the Crux of a free society” and “degree holders make $66,950 on average versus hs grads $46,500” But in reality proles are wise as fuck. They know all through Intuition but can’t explain it with words so they’re like “your a fag” |

Date: March 22nd, 2026 8:16 AM Author: blue theater lettuce It was always meant to be the leisurely pursuit of the upper classes, not some random LoserBag. They even wrote novels like Jude the Obscure that depicted the folly of this. All the same, there were plenty of Fake Jobs in the early aughts that “required” a fake undergraduate degree iirc.

Date: March 22nd, 2026 8:31 AM Author: Soggy racy menage I feel like things have tilted against this a bit, I see them specifying “Business, Engineering, or related discipline” or something. Businessmen are retarded but sometimes they have OCI. And if interviewers hear that a candidate aced OCI, it’s intoxicating. They’re like, “I’m listening.”
Anyway ITE pushed liberal arts’ shit in or was the kill shot imo. |
