    the things you find on reddit

    40 years old with 20+ years of web development experience. Never had a full time job. Am I unemployable?

    Okay, so I've been a web developer for over 20 years now and I've never had a full-time job ever in my life. I've had a few part-time jobs for a total of 9 months, all of which were non-coding jobs. A few weeks ago, for the first time in my life, I created a resume and applied for full-time programming jobs for remote WordPress and Laravel programming positions, all of which have $80-$150k salary. I applied to about a dozen jobs on LinkedIn and Indeed. Unfortunately, so far I have not heard back from anyone. The only messages I received were to join a different job search platform.

    My best guess is that employers are weary that I am going work for a few months, save about $20k and quit, as that's honestly what my plan is. My entire career I have operated my own websites and did small gigs to supplement my income. I spent the past 3 years developing a new marketplace for digital products called xxxxxxxxxx and it only makes about $100 per month so far, which isn't enough to live on even though I relocated to Mexico as a digital nomad and my savings are running out. So obviously, I don't have much to put on a resume except xxxxxxxx and my WordPress plugin xxxxxxxxxxx which is adult-related.

    I'm just wondering if I should apply to more jobs with some changes to my resume. I have my photo on my resume and I'm wondering if I should remove it or use a different photo. I know this may sound weird, but is it possible I'm too handsome for people to take me seriously as a programmer? Surely there are good programmers with single-digit body fat, right? Is it possible many companies have diversity quotas and won't hire a white man? Should I use a black guy in the photo? My last name is common amongst African-Americans so I could probably pull it off, right? I mean, it's all remote positions I'm applying for, so it's not like they can tell I'm only 1.4% Sub-Saharan African (according to my 23andme DNA test). How many jobs does the average programmer apply to before getting hired, or at least a call/message back? Thanks in advance.

      Reddit AND YouTube!





      Facts!!! Handsome guys also have to be their own boss. Because male supervisors won't promote you especially if there's pretty women working at the company. And since we have no physical flaws, when people get jealous or angry at us they'll insult our intelligence by calling us either crazy or gay, including the bitter females we reject.
      @jamesross1798



      there’s multiple cons, girls flirting with you and hating the fact that they CANT get with you so that turns into bitterness

      Im six feet tall and extremely fit, whenever i wear fitted clothes i get that “ he must be gay comments “ from certain women and some dudes, it just reaffirms to me that i can be very intimidating looking and i bring out the insecurities of the ones judging me, great video AD

            so 100 whole dollars a month, huh? wow. tbh I'm actually surprised his flagship product brings in even that much but still...wow. maybe if he spent less time posting memes and stupid yt vids in a lame attempt to troll and more time coming up with a functional product that people actually want, he could boost that up to a whopping $150 a month. but no, it will still be cuz of discrimination against the handsome and Black people's fault he's a failure

            lmao. this is more entertaining than smoking meth. he really is the safety monkey of GFY

                  To the op reddit poster, I would say yes they should present themselves as being black but I would take it a step further to insure you get the job.

                  Just being a black male doesn't rank high on the intersectionality victim scale. I would say you’re a black trans woman that’s disabled and of the islamic faith. That should do it. Most today will go out of their way to discriminate against you if you’re a straight white male so do whatever you need to do.

                    Looks like somebody is clearly obsessed with me and my big dick.

                    I guess I shouldn't have just spent $100 on 6 pair of Calvin Klein underwear at the mall.

                      well if you're clearing $100 per month in income prob not a wise economic choice. no shade on that, income-wise. just ballers tend to be people who live beyond their means as a front. when no one real would give a shit what kind of undies you wear. if I'm with a man in undies, kinda more interested in getting them off him

                      if I'm gonna be human and not feel like a bully, despite the way you have disparaged people I like and care about which makes me dislike you, speaking honestly when I write I think your biggest biz obstacle is your arrogance. you make stuff no one wants or needs and yeah...it's totally cuz you're too pretty and the Black man is keeping you down

                      not because you don't actually consider what your target audience might want or need. you know better, right? even though it's clear you're on the periphery of the biz. take a page from Sarettah, Cyber and Konrad's book. there is a reason why none of them are hurting for cash inflow

                      just, I dunno, get a grip. step away from yt and the 'asshole is the way to success' ish you vibe to. kinda needless to point out that the strategy hasn't worked out for you but you're not that intuitive so I'll state it overtly

                      no one cares what you look like. it's what you do that counts. recall someone you also tried to disparage writing that recently. he's successful, as a fucking fugee from chaos. you're sitting pretty on 20k (lol, who moves internationally with only 20k in savings, speak from experience on that, 4 times over) and can't get a break

                      that's cuz your flagship product sucks. I seriously have never even seen it mentioned here aside from your sig, but for Brass in a fun metaphor describing it as 'more bugs than a cheap motel'

                      then you come at an adult audience with a new product not suitable for adult

                      yeah, the problem is your looks

                      get over yourself and get to work. despite everything I do wish you luck

                        bro building WP sites for 20 years and thinks he's employable as an engineer.



                        truth is few of the programmers here on GFY are employable because we know how the whole thing works. corporations only hire people who know how one thing works. they don't need managers and architects.

                            We'll see about that, fat boy.

                            I built my first WP plugin in 2013 and it took me around the world; landing me balls deep in countless women, being the player you could only dream of. Even if I do end up as a one-hit wonder, my life has been incredible and something you could only dream about. Cope.

                            Besides, those are strong words coming from a dork whose product I've never even heard of and has to pay women to look at him.

                            Seriously, look at this shit

                              yeah, nice try. those flailing attempts to disparage me just demonstrate that you are not really interested in changing your circumstances by listening to feedback written with (some) good faith. I don't want to see you go under but you're doing this to yourself so have fun I guess?

                              PS that alpha male ish of trying to be top dog doesn't work on me. does it work on anyone?

                              regarding my appearance I think we already covered that here and here

                              in terms of the pic you keep posting from a year ago...oh no I didn't brush my hair or put on makeup or set up lighting and had a bruise around my eye. life happens and my hair has a mind of its own so a brush doesn't easily tame it. unless I'm going out I don't bother. when I'm not on cam I rarely wear makeup (and even on cam only lip gloss and eyeshadow-it's all about the lighting). the only one who cares is you. me, I'm still banking a year later, even without Calvin Klein undies

                              why don't you start researching a way to make some real money in this business? there's a lot to go around, the only obstacle is you

                              (and PS to the board I have never smoked meth, just made a joke as TubeAce likes to call me a meth head cuz I'm slender)

                                    so this thread is about you. i didn't know until your butt got hurt.

                                    WP is a nice skill i guess. plenty of Indians are experts at it. you're not getting a $100k+ job doing it tho.

                                    i love that you always go straight to the insults. shoot first right?

                                    thanks for posting the PornCMS homepage screenshot. convenient marketing

                                      Damn, why show up in a thread and let everybody know it's you?



                                      And blaming it on Black people was like leaving a fingerprint.

                                          Quinn, you look good even without makeup...but the black eye is troubling. Hopefully, you're not letting any man raise his hand to you...Might want to try to find a nice White boy (if there are any in Jamacia).

                                            thank you for the compliment and regarding the bruise; I got a bruise. it healed. I'm fine

                                            DEF not being abused by any man (or woman) in my life, my friends here and in Ochi proper have my back just as much as I have theirs

                                            and nope, no white peeps at all in my new town on the outskirts. like seriously I'm the only paleface

                                            no one makes a big deal of it, it's not a tourist area and within a couple weeks I knew my whole long azz street and felt very welcomed to the community by all. being abused? nope, not a part of my life and never has been (unless you include when Bika bops me on the nose when I'm trying to sleep cuz she's decided she must have pets NOW)

                                            gracias for the concern but for real, zero need. Tube is just trying to troll and as usual: fail

                                                                    but who did you switch to and when did you make the switch? it really shouldn't take more than a couple of hours although it 'can' take up to 72. that would be signal number one you're with a shitty company

                                                                    if this doesn't work out check out M3Server.com (no ref link). I'm with Vacares now but used to work with M3 and had zero complaints, an excellent company. not sure if this would accommodate your needs but their smallest (the XS) VPS plan is $15 per month. Vacares and MojoHost are two other top rec'ed companies for adult, for good reason. a little bit more pricey but if your site is the foundation of your income def worth investing

                                                                    there are a lot of companies that say they host adult but it can vary...what might get in your way a bit is the hypn0 aspect, depending where the company is located

                                                                    anyway, hope your site gets back online soon and that you encounter no issues going forward. good luck!

                                                                      if so, Candy is in the US, whereas I'm in Jamaica. probably much more important for your site to be online in the US/EU rather than JA as the DNS takes effect

                                                                      again, good luck and hope all goes as smoothly as possible
