Probably 40-50. Not as many as other people, but even for this number the response rate was abysmal. Only a dozen actually replied with rejections; most just ignore you. A lot of them required tests, video or phone interviews, yet don't provide any feedback. I've called up local engineering businesses and they say business is down so they won't hire. I've signed up to recruiting agencies who are meant to search for work for you and yet nada. My fellow graduates are struggling to find something too, and so far the only people who did were in data science and finance. Traditional engineering is DEAD

Imagine dutifully studying engineering for 4 years, ensuring you have thorough knowledge of important technical concepts, only for the big shot engineering corps to reject you based on IQ or social autism (which is determined in situational judgement tests)

If they believe IQ is so critical just say it openly. Make us do an IQ test at 10 and have it determine our ranking, like in Brave New World. It's humiliating to play these stupid games where you memorise card sequences or pick out the shapes of arrows from a clutter of objects.

Head of department, management stuff, there is a lot of paperwork stuff that needs doing. Also, they give you a £26k tax-free grant when you train. So in first two years, you're going to make almost 60k (when the new math teachers' wages are added in 2022).

They don't currently (think the minimum is around 26k currently). But they are raising it to £30k minimum + an extra 2k yearly for newly trained teachers in 2022. There is a shortage of thousands per year and 50% of teachers who teach maths didn't do the subject, or a related subject, at uni. So you have English and geography teachers teaching maths.

I am just telling you what was in the chat, and that it was enough to get someone fired. (Claiming it was doctored didn't work >>12692152). I am not saying me using racial slurs was any better. The real issue with them is what they were like IRL, which is why I stopped being friends with them. They were so racist they could no longer see people as individuals beyond their race, extremely arrogant and misogynistic, and lacking even a basic sense of humanity. They would laugh at the new zealand mosque massacre, at the holocaust, at gay people complaining that they get harassed, they would make rape jokes and call people who switch religions scum and much more. If you think that is acceptable, you are one of them subhumans raised to only think about yourself and feel arrogant hatred to the world.

>For the record, IQ and race discussion is a necessary conversation to have.
Somehow everyone who has this discussion is actually just exaggerating the effects of IQ and advocating for discrimination they believed in a priori rather than being scientific.

Of course that's not what it would mean. Did you simply assume I was a racist because I disagreed with you on something? That is well and truly your NPC programming at work. Perhaps I should also be deplatformed and silenced for expressing dangerous thoughts? After all, that's what the MSM claims. How on earth could the MSM be wrong?
>even if it is real
Firstly, it is absolutely real. The reason that it should be discussed and not swept under the carpet as "racist statistics" or the the like, is because it directly affects policy. If there is a significant difference in the mean intelligence of racial populations, then that could be a factor explaining discrepancy of representation of races in various professions. Instead of having a legitimate discussion on IQ, we are told that only racial discrimination is responsible for differences of representation. Accordingly, policy such as affirmative action and general vitriol towards the races with greater representation is implemented and justified on that basis. The thing is, it goes both ways. The antisemitic component of the rightwing targets Jews on the basis of their overrepresentation in elite/coveted positions. The fact that Ashkenazi Jews are the most intelligent race of people is ignored, and instead they are targeted on the basis of being evil Jews.

People like you always understate your positions.

Anyway, there is no use repeating the same discussions as everywhere on the web- It wasn't the discussion about IQ and Race in the chat that was leaked and led to job loss, but rather the insultive racism and disrespect it contained.

I didn't say that, but now that you bring it up - IQ certainly impacts a person's performance in a career (Assuming career is synonymous with a complex job, i.e. not a custodian/ assembly line worker).
> but eventually just say there is no racial discrimination and it cannot possibly have an impact on socioeconomics
I also didn't say that at all. I believe that is also a factor, my point is that it is not the only factor. The currently narrative is that any discrepancy that exists which appears to favour white people (e.g. representation in a prestigous university/ profession) is a product of racism and must be retroactively modified via non-meritocratic processes like affirmative action.
Your inability to interpret a few sentences without misconstruing what was said is unfortunate. Perhaps I now understand why some people allow the screen to do any thinking on their behalf.

>40+ days paid leave each year
obviously these two aren't necessarily true for industry, although it can still be flexible depending on where you work.
>Get to go all over the world to boozy conferences
plenty of opportunity to go to such conferences in industry as well.
>No pressure from higher up as long as you shit out 1-2 papers each year
I actually find there's surprisingly little top down pressure in industry at least for a research scientist who isn't in a managerial position. This probably depends on where you work though, but equally you can say this for a PhD.

>The antisemitic component of the rightwing targets Jews on the basis of their overrepresentation in elite/coveted positions. The fact that Ashkenazi Jews are the most intelligent race of people is ignored, and instead they are targeted on the basis of being evil Jews.
1. That talking point is never ignored
2. It's also dubious
3. It's used to justify ashkenazi nepotism and over representation even though for every high IQ ashkenazi there are multiple high IQ Whites and Asians.
4. That is often extrapolated out to the rest of the jews

First, you're not using that word correctly. Secondly, you don't get to dictate and decide what other peoples motives are. Third, you're point is irrelevant - in fact its a logical fallacy - because the motive of someone endorsing a claim has no impact on the truth or falsity of the claim, so even if these people are 'evil', that doesn't mean they are wrong. For instance, Joseph Stalin was clearly evil, but he was correct in opposing capitalism and fascism. Motives have no impact on truth and falsity.

I'm pretty similar to that.
To understand the mindset, you have to first of all realize that this is a siege mentality, which develops in light of personal experiences and perspectives which are dismissed out-of-hand by people who can't even muster the mental strength to defend their own beliefs. They can't answer a Socratic inquiry into their position and they can't even realize when they've run up against their subjective principles and emotional positions. Instead they cope, dismiss, slander, and parrot warped reflections of some better-established philosophy, or shallow buzzwords more likely. Also, these people run the world.
When it comes to this liberal mainstream, there are two broad groups. The successful ones can't really relate to the losers and don't recognize their own conscientiousness. These people give everything the benefit of the doubt endlessly, they've been completely spoiled by plenty and comfort, they've never lived in a system where most people were incompetent and don't value competence accordingly, they are domesticated oversocialized performatives with no foundation in the world beyond the consensus of others like them. Therefore, they think that any subjective opinion they hold could work as a pillar of society, if preexisting social constructs didn't get in the way. They are variably guilty, proud, and insecure of their success; they claim to promote equity and accessibility to that same success for others, but they don't understand why they are successful where others aren't, and they can't even criticize the meaning of success or their understanding of it.

Meanwhile the loser footsoldiers have no means or avenue or reason to admit that they're losers. They can riot and burn cities and get just a slap on the wrist from the law; not that they would have anything to lose anyways, of course. They get social capital for simply existing, even if they're parasitic talentless toxic scum and even if that's broadly true of their whole demographic, and soon UBI will inflate this class even further full of people who would have had potential.
Both of these human types are more and more common in the younger generations of the West.
You begin to see a world order that bends over backwards to avoid holding certain people accountable, while shitting on others (including you) purely for existing, except that world order wouldn't even exist without the people it hates, and it will cease to exist if it gets its own way.
This perspective is omnipresent and you can't escape it. It makes you bitter, and the society rejects you as soon as it gets even a slight inkling of your worries, and eventually you can't reconcile that society with its internal contradictions. And every year this tendency creeps even further into public discourse, which fuels ever-constant gaslighting.
Then the same fuckers turn around and paint bumbling incompetent fucks like Trump as akin to Satan for doing one one-hundredth of what they do, just for daring to oppose them. Their own number-one tactic is gaslighting, and they turned that into an Orange Man Bad buzzword as well. I should make it clear that I think Trump is a senile retard who achieved a historic win through the efforts of others and then undermined himself within the first year of his term; but that's partially what I'm getting at. The only people even remotely on your side are out-of-touch boomers and similarly fossilized conservatives, who buy into LARPs like Q and bluster about muh 2A but never stand up and actually fucking defend their values, and aren't capable of conserving anything.

So to address this:
> women who had abortions animals
Abortion is poorly-justified murder and people accept it on the basis of personal interest or the overzealous benefit of the doubt. Neither is a good enough reason. These days women who have abortions mostly have them so they can spend more time slutting around with no accountability. So in that sense they're worse than animals, because animals don't murder their young except in times of famine so the animal can survive, and these women are doing it in times of plenty just to ensure their cunts can keep quivering on anonymous cock every weekend.
> IQ & race
Informal evidence suggests niggers are stupid and self-destructive. Correlational studies can readily be interpreted in this way. Formal research into the matter cannot exist in the current climate. The best proxy for this problem are pitbulls, and there you can really see the nature of the argument being statistics vs. "le heckin cute boy" and other retarded emotional nonarguments founded in incomprehensible empathy for potato-shaped freaks of nature.
> mocking holocaust remembrance
The Jews have used the social capital from their genocide to shield themselves from any criticism, including literal genocide of their own in Israel. In doing so, they have retroactively justified everything that has ever been done to them.
> they could no longer see people as individuals beyond their race
That's how it is. You can never ever escape your race or ethnic identity, because if it becomes an issue to somebody then you will pay for it, even if you literally hate yourself for it. Individualism is idiotic, worthless, and pointless in any case.

> extremely arrogant and misogynistic
In nature women are baby factories and men are expendable. Unfortunately women want zero accountability while making sure men stay expendable and stuck in all the menial dangerous roles. Humans will go extinct if the current female-centric trends continue, based just on the fact that empowered women don't want children. So why do their rights matter?
This isn't even about what I said earlier, nor is it personal. I wouldn't mind if they did their fucking job.
> lacking even a basic sense of humanity
Can you please nail down the definition of humanity?
And that said, why am I being held to high standards when large groups in society aren't held to any standards? Why should I care about them, or about you?
> laugh at the new zealand mosque massacre
Horseface Jacinda pulling frowns in a hijab (that shows off her hair..?) over what are essentially foreign colonizers, and a mosque with literal terrorist connections, was pretty funny. It's even funnier how quickly the New Zealanders rolled over after one lone wolf incident, and how spineless they are. I'd probably die of laughter if they all got butchered in the streets.

I actually come from the Balkans and niggers recapitulate the same behaviour I see over there, which is to say zero accountability and a sense that all their problems are due to ancestral rivalries, and they're gaining more power and they'll use it against the people they hate. You're rolling over and giving it to them. They (and their jobless tranny lackies) burned down cities and ordinary people fucking defended them, when they should have been gunned down in the streets. You really have no fucking concept of what you're facing and your sense of principle is only self-defeating. You are not being moral, you are a domesticated little bitch piggy and you will be butchered.
You need to get a grip and come to terms with who's on your side.
