Looking for some advice, I have been offered a job for 20k more than I make now 80k -> 100k. My dilemma is my current job is very laid back and I get along with all my co-workers and its just a very chill job. The new position would be more hours and definitely more fast paced but I could use the extra dough. Should I stay or should I go? anyone leave a nice chill job for $ and ended up regretting it?

>always check messages, emails, texts, etc. every day
>nothing for months
>dont check for 2 days
>check again
>inboxes are blown up
why

>>102684453

>>102684453
Are they remote? Do both, make 180k

>>102684440
i’m already twinkish so i feel like i might stand a chance but that sounds grim
i hope you’re still capable of feeling cute in cute clothes tho

>>102684453
stay. 20k is not worth to bust your ass off

>>102684453
what is more important to you? You'll have your answer.

>>102684453
As someone whos been in an ez job for years, take the faster paced one. My skills have completely stagnated and I worry that I'm going to be fucked if/when this job falls through.

>>102684453
My job genuinely makes me feel happy because I love my coworkers, my team, and because the environment is very relaxed. No amount of money would be worth leaving this to me, sort your priorities and see what's more important to you.

Oh boy, is there finally a containment general for all the losers who shit up this one?

Who's the genius behind that and how can I buy him a beer?

>>102684535
It's nice to have this isn't it? I could use more money, however, I have a family.

so, my manager is kinda a faggy dork, and I'm kinda autistic

He wants me to meet with a colleague (for the 3rd time) to ask him more questions about software he's using so that we can get "buy in" for new software.

I just fucking hate wasting peoples time and being a proxy for this fucking guy

my question is: is any aspect of this normal?

>>102684730
He's a manager and you're his resource, anon.

>>102684730
to reword my question better:

Is it normal to rat out the person you are being a proxy for? It would make me feel better to say 'my manager told me to ask you X,Y,Z' but also, my manager might get pissed off by that

I was a "twink" pre-hrt (176cm height, 67cm waist, 40cm bideltoid, 80cm underbust, 20yo) but the standards are much higher to pass as an average woman your own age
like, 3 standard deviations below natural male development even at 18 sorta standards
looking on the outside in I also thought I had some hope but male puberty is irreversible, hrt doesn't do much, and surgery isn't all it's cracked up to be
1 and a bit years hrt and I'm just a man, I wouldn't look any better dressing up as a woman than I would pre-hrt, the only difference is having to hide gyno tits, I'm not hondosed and definitely block my T well, it's just not enough past young adolescence
>I hope you’re still capable of feeling cute in cute clothes tho
you'd be surprised, I haven't worn anything feminine in months, they just make me feel like a man in a dress which is what I am
especially don't recommend cosplay stuff, those are barely wearable for average sized western women, for trannies they're suifuel

From where I'm standing, it seems like the best way to go about things is to be a private contractor for local businesses with an expansive resume of a variety of work - potentially doing things at pretty cheap rates but having the benefit of "not being a bullshitter", taking advantage of the political climate of the current day

Blogpost incoming, I need serious advice:

Ive been working this job for a several months now. It’s involves writing mostly PL SQL procedures and functions to make reports, pretty easy work, none of the DSA concepts, math, backend/front end stuff I did studying in my own or in school is being used. Any random exercise from CS50 is harder than anything I’ve done at this job. If there’s any challenging part (not really) it’s just interpreting what the customer (another department) wants on the reports (changing column headers)

Anyways I’m not being paid much and want to move on at some point , so what skills should I develop to get my next role that would compliment this current job experience? I figured Python is used in the data field I should investigate that road? Is becoming a data engineer an attainable career path with SQL/PL SQL work experience + self studying another language like python or java, or is that a dead end without having taken multiple statistics type advanced math classes?

I’m not really sure what to do now honestly. In the BRUTAL year long job search I was trying everything, web dev Odin project stuff, leetcode, game dev, spring boot web apps. None of it panned out and it all felt pointless. I’m glad I got something in tech but now I’m in a role I’m not sure how to build off of and I’m poor as fuck. I few months ago I was a hopeless unemployeed new grad you guys said would never make it

Same thing happened to my younger sister by my mom's bf at the time. I would've cut his balls off, but he died on his own before I ever found out about the incident. Fast forward a bit, and my sister, while younger, attempted to grab my bits for what felt like a dozen minutes when I was on the floor. I was so fucking pissed off. I punched her once I got her off of my back and Mom's response was that I shouldn't hit girls. I just don't talk to her much now. My family is really fucked.

take the 100k offer to your $80k job and say "I'm leaving for this job" they will bump your pay at least $10k to keep you, might even match it.

>>102684453
If they're both remote, do both. Take a week off your first job while you onboard.
I'm doing that now, admittedly had a lot of doubts before I took the 2nd and worried about it all the time, but once it started I found it's very comfy. No one has any idea I'm working two jobs, and I get 4 or 5 paychecks a month. Highly recommend it.

>>102684453
Make a budget. 5 year + 10 year plan. Do you need the extra 20k? If you don't need it then don't leave a good job. Nothing will kill your quality of life faster than working somewhere you hate.

>How do I know if I'm just a midwit, or if my job is truly hard? It's kinda difficult to compare myself with the other like, 2 junior devs at my company because I don't work with them at all. But it seems like they aren't struggling as much as me.
>How do I git gud at my job as someone with unmedicated ADD? How do I learn good skills as a SWE considering I didn't go to school? Before this, I programmed as a hobby and worked as a solo end-to-end developer writing a corporate webapp and doing IT for a year.
I just turned 21 and this is only my second tech job so I don't really have any frame of reference, but I get the feeling that the company I work for is shittier than most. Idk though, maybe it's just me.

This is how you make it in the industry. This is why this general doesn't have jobs.

>Is it okay to ask questions to more senior devs about technical stuff?
As long as you (a) make a decent attempt to figure it out yourself first and (b) read the room to figure out when you're becoming a nuisance. Most seniors are happy to answer questions especially technical ones, but they don't want to be a babysitter. Different seniors have different thresholds.

>How do I know if I'm just a midwit, or if my job is truly hard?
Sounds like you're working in a legacy codebase nightmare. All concepts of difficulty are thrown out the window when dealing with spaghetti code. Is it easy? Is it hard? No, it's just tremendously poorly designed. Getting good at software in general won't help you. On the flip side, getting good at reading and modifying spaghetti code can be a valuable skill. Or it could be completely useless outside of this specific job. That's just what it's like working with legacy shit.

In a better job environment I would say it'd be a good idea for your long term career to find another job with a more modern stack, but a paycheck's a paycheck and plenty of legacy bullshit out there.

kek i might get to that point honestly
9 years of hell desk experience and i can't get a single interview for a tier3 or mid-senior position
thought it'd be easy cause most places just list 3-5+ years of experience for the roles
don't know what to do anymore

This is just a fucked up place that I don't even know if I give a fuck about anymore though.. Or I'm at least indifferent to it.. It's a decent place still though

Setting limits and standing up for yourself are key skills in any job. I'm not talking about the people who put extra hours in because they hate their personal lives, don't know how to find fulfillment outside of work, or genuinely love their job, but if the only reason you're working extra hours is because you feel like you owe your boss or because you couldn't say no to retarded deadlines, you don't have the personal skills to climb the ladder in the first place and you're just going to burn yourself out.
