tgif amirite
Another day of waking up at 4am and spending over an hour lying in bed contemplating solutions to a problem that there is no deadline for because im given free reign to build whatever i want (literally "come up with things") and so i make my own work.Its so tempting to sign in to work early and keep working till past bedtime because its fun. I have a coworker that i think is quite similar. We're both spergs, he probably has ADHD too, and we both see eachother online at incredibly odd hours, and i've seen him make commits at 2am.I built a proper home server, just to play with, test and modify the docker deployment this coworker designed. We're all given virtual server spaces where we can assign up to 40 cores and 64gb of vram (we can request more) and im positive that most servers that my company owns and uses are virtualized. I get paid less at my current job than my former job and despite this, I find it so enjoyable that it encroaches my personal time and I'll even spend money on hardware and not tell anybody that I'm not 'lab' testing in a virtual environment.Does anybody else experience this? How do i set a stop timer? Usually I find a personal project to work on and I do have some started, some close to being finished, and some i want to start; but its hard to pull me from a work project if I feel like i'm really enjoying.
give one (1) reason NOT to blow my head off
>>107947037It's nice to love what you do for a living, even if you're making profit for someone else>How do i set a stop timer?Get a life outside of work
>>107947056Blowing your head off would invalidate your remaining PTO balance.
just dropped 15 days off, in 2 weeks, starting during the PInot my problem
>>107947056your ops downfall could be tomorrow and you'd miss it
>Capital One to acquire Brex for $5Banyone enjoying their impending liquidity event?
>>107946833Here's your tech worker of the future
>>107947056maybe UBI will really become a thing and you'll actually be able to be a NEET until the end of your days
>>107947435literal Black Mirror episode
>/twg/as if anyone on this board actually has a job or had a job
>>107947056it would be yucky for the people finding you
>>107947600i believe you can one day get a job too anon
>>107947600twg used to have a whole bunch of $400k+ TC posters, FIRE dudes and millionaires a couple years ago.seems that they stopped posting
>>107947663dude just wait until i graduate bro trust me bro ill be rich bro
>>107947630hell yea im a nepotism PRO
>looking for another job while at my current one, know this shits going to go under any moment and or have mass layoffs since company is preparing for a sale>Senior engineer level, also with faang experience>Been applying to shit for weeks, not even an acknowledgementI knew the market was grim and the economy is bad, but goddamn. I've NEVER had this much trouble getting a job in tech, ever. Especially because I have some pretty big shit on my resume.
>>107947792Why not take the initiative to make your own services online, apps, and sell shit directly to gain some customer traction? If you say in your resume "I build my product and I serve ~10-20 people right now, but I'm scaling up as I go along" you'd get hired instantly
>>107947549this is why i keep living>priced out of a house>priced out of gf/seggsi only want to be left alone now. i have lost all will to live, just cut me my check and let me be.
>>107947792My friend did 6 years at Google, and then another 2 at netflix, and he can't get a job either.Hes stocking shit at costco for $30/hour in the meantime.We're definitely entering "dot com bubble bursting" era of tech employment difficulties, and the bubble hasn't even popped yet.
>>107947848id love a 30/hr jobbest i was able to wrangle with no degree was $20how the fuck do people get laid 50pc more for moving shit around a warehouse. wtf.
My superpower at work is doing 15mins worth of work and making it sound like 8 hours worth of work at standup
>>107947853Costco basically thinks that the current "living wage" is not being reflected properly in the vast majority of counties across the country in the US and to improve employee retention, and even save money, its simpler to just pay people what they should be getting paid in order to survive.So in my state even the most basic job at costco starts at $30/hr, but goes up to like $50.
>>107947848>Hes stocking shit at costco for $30/hour in the meantime.fucking hell
>>107947848>We're definitely entering "dot com bubble bursting" era of tech employment difficulties, and the bubble hasn't even popped yet.My conclusion as well. Its looking worse every week somehow with no signs of slowing and shit hasn't even exploded yet, but all the major banks are preparing already. OpenAI is apparently about to eat shit and is nearly ready to collapse on itself, I think that'll trigger a pretty big wave.
Living in Canada is a daily humiliation ritual.My current position is chill because we're owned by a US company but career perspectives here are absolutely grim compared to the US.And, obviously, the jeet factor.
>>107947981Everything is jeeted in the US as well, even compliance/sec related shit and government work. Also as you can see by the recent posts even people with faang level xp are getting absolutely fucked in our job market.
>>107947981Yeah I had affirm reach out where they paid senior devs 150k USD starting and then said Canadians start at 120k-160k CAD >"We typically hire at the start of our band">For senior developers?>"Yes, but theres lots of opportunity to increase your salary"Stupid HR Stacey.
>>107947907the world's most impressionable, gullible redditor? or an ordinary shill astroturfing? the world may never know.costco figured out that if you pay people more than your competitors for bottom of the barrel menial labor, you win. it is literally free money. a publicly traded company simply did this and it is the whole truth. that is the power of being a heckin wholesome chungus decent frickin human.
>>107947848The bubble is literally only 7 companies. Every other company is in the toilet and laying people off right now. And no, it's not because AI is replacing our jobs, it's because the faggot-in-chief is so bad at money that he couldn't run a profitable casino, let alone the whole US economy
>>107948096Obviously the real reason is that playing revolving door with a never ending employee carousel is more costly in the long run.Either way, people get paid what they should be, nobody really cares about the ultimate reason or whatever idea costco puked out to conceal motive behind their wage increases.>>107948123You say its "literally only" 7 companies as if the newest reports don't show that 50% of the US's gdp growth over the last two years is AI alone.Doesn't matter if its JUST 7 companies.
>>107948136>You say its "literally only" 7 companies as if the newest reports don't show that 50% of the US's gdp growth over the last two years is AI alone.And all that so-called "growth" comes from 7 companies. It's a completely top-heavy bubble that is masking the fact that every other company is struggling right now
>>107948150I think we're saying the same thing friend.I'm agreeing its a bubble, and I also agree that most companies, big, small or startup are all eating dirt currently whether they are tied to AI or not.
>>107948136i bet if i looked up the wages a couple places for both companies hiring the same position, it would be costco paying like 2 to 3 dollars more per hour than walmart.costco has run really effective pr campaigns on redditthe 30 dollars an hour starting doesnt sound true, and lo and behold, it doesnt appear to bedon't be so easily fooled in life. especially if you saw it on reddit. if you saw it on reddit, theres like literally a 90% chance its false, or misrepresented at best.
>>107948217I'm not lying. I live in Colorado, Costco starting wages here are around $31 now as of 2026. The one 20 miles from me literally had signs out at its grand opening offering $30 MINIMUM.I didn't say $30 was the average nation wide, I said that they've openly disagreed with what constitutes a "living wage" and increasing their wages which is factually true.
>>107948136>>107948217also come on man, does it sound even remotely realistic they are paying 30 an hour to stock shelves or be a cashier? how gullible would you have to be? maybe in nyc or sf thy possibly pay that bc col but not an entire state. that is totally a shill lyingit just blows my mind people fall for PR teams and marketing like that. yeah dude they do it as a charity they actually pay double market rate for someone doing cashier work BUT theyre just so wholesome they eat the loss. give me a fucking break
I got promoted, is it a bit presumptuous to ask my friends to celebrate and pay for their meals?
I don't know. I don't really like office work but working at costco and dealing with customers and everyone being an asshole is sorta a pain. Aren't you forced to quota upselling memberships? sounds gay
>>107948258why would that be presumptuouslike in a "flashing money" way?
>>107948246>So in my state even the most basic job at costco starts at $30/hryou said your state when you mean a specific city in colorado probably. and it doesnt appear to be true either. post an ad for it if you can find one, and then look for the same position in same city walmart is offering and post it. theyre gonna be very similar.you likely read a headline that was intentionally worded to be misleading about experienced employees making that much and in a particularly expensive col area
>>107948280>>107948217>thinking the ai slop response you get on google searches means anythingthis thing is frequently wrong
>>107948285the ai slop is the easiest thing to post a picture of. the results below it are saying the same thing.should be easy to find job ads for costco paying 30 for entry level in some area. lets see it. then we can compare to walmart in the same area?
>>107948278yeah, they're all blue collared...tbf they probably have WAY more savings then I do.
>>107948372you can offer to just pay for the drinksgive them an excuse to get hammered i'm sure nobody would object to that
>>107948285costco does not have hourly wage listings on its indeed posts in colorado btw. not a single one.min wage in denver is 20 an hour already, so its a very expensive place.the sign thing you are talking about they do everywhere they want labor. they post the absolute max you can make and say "make up to 30 an hour" when it takes experience and seniority to get there. burger king in my area allegedly pays 23 in my area if you believe those signsi am done getting annoyed about this. i cant believe people fall for this shit. labor like this is priced in, theres no 'decent frickin human being' cheat code that allows you to pay the lowest skilled, most widely available labor significantly more than others without it being reflected in price. believe it or not, money isnt just magic
>>107948401they don't drink.
>>107948494you'll be fine Achmed
>>107947037If I had your job, I'd put in the bare minimum and spend the rest of the time living my life and enjoying my hobbies.
>>107948506we're not brown either, it's just we don't drink (we like math)
>>107948403i heard it was because of the Supreme Court that employers cant funnel more money to the workers voluntarily. something about shareholders being due the profits of their capital investment.
>worked at a start up for 90k as SE>got fired>did 9 months of neeting>now hired for 270k with (base + bonus)we all gonna make it, bros
I literally haven't done anything today. Just stuck in endless thought loops. How do I get off this ride?
>>107948565clean your room.
>>107948548congrats but also I want to bash your head in with a rock fuck you
>>107948574I have. I'm talking about work.
>>107948577if it's any consolation: what got me hired was an impressive skill-set and an impressive portfolio. it wasnt any certification or diplomas. just keep grinding and you will get noticed.
>>107948600what sort of skills we talking about
>>107948548not all of us are going to make it, but i can see why the rich are so oblivious. that feeling of being wealthy in a market economy is like a fuzzy blanket.
>>107947032tsgf, amirite?
>>107948613in my case c++ with very strong specialisation in graphics programming and gpu programming.
>>107948543that is also a reddit factoid that is misrepresented to the point of being a lie. that is the ford vs dodge brothers case and it happened in like the michigan or minnesota state supreme court. corporate law is largely ruled by state law, not federal laws. most corporations are registered in delaware. costco is registered in washington. ford also made a lot of statements during the case that contextualized the ruling. there is legal duty to act in good faith to shareholders but its not the only thing theyre bound to.another great example of something posted on reddit that is highly misrepresented.im paraphrasing what i heard in a lecture so if you wanted super accurate details, it would be best to look it up. but literally everything posted on reddit is a child's naive retarded understanding of the world, and generally its going to be politically charged too because its a website designed for advertisers and agencies to shape public opinion.or maybe you knew all that already and were trolling me
>>107948123How is being good at money prevent those 7 companies from overinvesting in AI?
>>107947056I wouldn't be able to tell you to kill yourself any more
>>107947056u might have a place in some cosmic struggle and if u kys ull never find out
>>107946833>work as IT tech Monday to Thursday>have to work Saturday in an inbound call centre as an operator>don't work SundayHaha I am thinking of leaving Australia.
I'm gonna resign on Monday.
>>107949075BTW I make $28 aussie bucks for this. Comp sci grad with 4 YOE in this company. Call me retarded because I suppose I am.
>companies are using AI to read and filter resumes>it still takes them 2-3 weeks+ to respond to my applicationCan someone explain this?
>>107947037another day of waking up at 10:30am, hopping on a call to triage an interesting incident, then rolling up a fat joint and playing guitar
>>107949128so glad that deadbeat piece of shit gen x'ers like this are in charge of all management in every company while gen z struggles to even land internships in a jeet infested market
COO is way too hyped about meeting a CTO of another company who has been running a fully agentic dev team for the last year
>>107948548nice
>>107949111turns out that for a lot of stuff the "actual doing the task" isn't actually the time bottleneck, its the 200 extra things around it
>raise a ticket because something didn't flow downwards>ticket ends up being sent back to me because I support the "operations" >what the fuck no im asking the developers this>random dm later that day of someone just pming me "hey are you looking specifically for ngfkldakjkgflnkvlajkgl which would fihoganokfgnasdfnokjn transferring from table ngfikadnglkan and table ngfkdlanglakdnf" holy fucking shit man i hate jeets.
>>107949144im a millensial lol
>>107949111it's called being busy retard. The hiring manager doesn't want to look at resumes every day, so instead he spends one day to look at them every few weeks. Previously maybe this meant his whole day, now it's half his day
>>107948522>hobbiesWhich are?
>>107949721reading posts on 4chan and posting on 4chan
>>107949718fuck you boomer piece of shit it takes these retarded hr foids fucking WEEKS to schedule follow up interviews after telling me I fucking passed the screens
>>107949802also my favorite interview pattern>outside contractor is hired to screen candidates and resumes>but they still have to schedule technical interviews with the real company's HR department and engineers>so it takes 3 months to do a full loop and they'll ghost you for weeks at a time (if they ever manage to schedule the interviews at all)
>>107949721sex with creatures, and drawing sex with creatures, and watching sex with creatures, and
>>107947663I think those type of people work for maybe 3 years max and retire in SEA or somethingDoesn't seem like they'd be in the grift for the long haul
It feels dirty spearheading the AI adoption movement in the companyMaybe I could quit this all next year and become a pro conman or something
The lazy WFH worker swamp needs to be drained.
>>107949832>>107949802I dont care
>>107949941fuck you nerd

>>107950057fuck you for providing untimely responses. I will bring you back to the office. I will drop by your cube and ask you about the status of the ticket.

I'm going to take yours instead.
I'm starting to think remote work was a mistakewhy can't anybody just fucking reply to me within an hour? why does it always have to be the next fucking day, or the next WEEK, and they don't even read the question? I try my hardest to make it a simple "yes" or "no" question and they STILL manage to fuck it up, every fucking timeI don't even care about this company or this job but I guess I had some sliver of hope that excelling would look good on my performance metrics and thus land me the promotion that they've been dangling on a FUCKING stick in front of my face for a yearI need to start searching elsewhere I need to stop talking about finding another job and just do it

your honest thoughts on angular?
>tfw company is finally introducing stacked ranking thanks to new c suitesIt was fun while it lasted. I'm not even a bottom performer but this shit always results in a shitty work environment in my experience.
>>107948548How did you land that? What kind of role?
>>107951751It's ok, if they replace all programmers, the end of all intellectual labor is near.
I started "vibe coding" programs to sort data and my manager thinks I'm a god damn genius for it. They're literally in awe at how I pulled this off. This shit is so cash. I'm so glad I never became a CS major and stuck to business.
>>107951724This shit is sad to look at, not from a "muh jobs" perspective but from the destruction of the human mind. If anything results in the decay of civilizatiom, its going to be AI slop.
can mods nuke the furry spammer again please?
>>107952064Hmm. The evolution of our species has always been about liberating ourselves from lower level tasks. If AI handles the stuff we currently have to handle ourselves, it just means we can get much more ambitious.
>>107952022other industries weren't as stupid as programmersthey have professional associations / regulations that will slow that shit by an order of magnitude
>>107952079But if it results in people not learning how things work or are made, it is going to have the opposite effect. We will be doomed to stay around our current level of development if people just use AI to do things without any thought on how or why things work. Advancement requires understanding.
>>107952079AI is very different from previous transformative technologies.It puts white collar jobs at risk while blue collar is unaffected. The opposite of everything that has come before
>>107952090Doing things that way will seem increasingly retarded.
learn to weld
>>107952138But it means you can idea guy like a motherfucker. Have a team of automated knowledge workers to implement your idea.I bet we're getting a UBI anyway, unless the AI kills us all.
stop spamming and kys furnigger
Developers are fucked. So what is going on with the network technicians, when are they going to get laid off?
>>107950495>any other feedback anyone can give me?IMO, that long list should be way shorter. something likeKNOWLEDGE (or SKILLS, or EXPERIENCE, though this last one should be a separate list of places where you've worked, with dates)- experience diagnosing, troubleshooting, and repairing software issues on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, SUSE, others), Windows (XP, 7, 8, 10, 11, Server), IBM POWER- experience diagnosing hardware issues on X86 and IBM POWER- experience compiling, debugging, porting and building software from and to POWER (PPC64LE) and x86 systems- experience intalling and configuring coreboot BIOS, openwrt and openCMC firmware on IBM POWER and x86 systems- networking: TCP/IP, HTTP(S), .. ...the more concise, ambiguous and buzzword-y you can make your CV, the better.just google "it resume", or maybe copy one of those MS office templates and use that for guidance.

I've been flirting boldly for months with a coworker from a different service, she's never ever pulled back or became colder or anything, she keeps bantering, laughing at things I say, coming to me with minor computer issues. All of my friends are telling me I need to ask her out for lunch or something but I'm terrified as fuck as this whole thing just feels way too good to be true.

I am getting fired, I think. This was 20 commits ago or sumth, they will definitely notice it if I remove it now help bros.
My attempt to be lazy and use AI at work has backfired massively and now I'm responsible for the entire AI strategy of our company. Does anyone here have experience in setting up a local AI tool and model at their own server or cloud? In particular for use in agentic software development and agentic ticket support. I'm thinking of using Ollama together with Qwen3 because they are Open Source or something.

It's like a one of those memes of a choice between two paths and the network route is the dark and thorny one no matter what other path you compare it to. 20 years ago it was awesome, get a CCNA and you got a high-paying career and experience. Now it's get CCNP-level knowledge for 3 different vendors, cloud experience, network-security experience, sys admin experience, linux experience, firewall experience, learn to script and automate, and you MIGHT get a job paying 55k a year using none of that knowledge because you're swapping out switches. Add in varied shifts and brutal on-calls getting ordered around by grey-beards with god-tier levels of knowledge and then you MIGHT get to be a network engineer after another 5-10 years of home labbing every waking minute of your life outside of work.This shit is not worth it. Salaries are going down and US jobs are going down as well. The only benefit is that you will become a true wizard and network fags are the chillest IT people to work with for the most part.

Is there a viable long term career path in getting a job in pcb repair? I see a few entry level jobs in my city that pay just enough to barely live off, but it's stable full time hours with benefits, the competition seems pretty much nonexistent (LinkedIn says 5 people applied for one of these jobs since it was posted 3 months ago), and I'm getting ready to completely give up on trying to get a software dev job at this point. 2 interviews after 250+ applications that ghosted me afterwards seems like a lost cause to even keeping trying anymore.

Hello r/twg.My acquaintance who is a neet and hobby software dev recently made fun of me for not using Claude Code (our company doesn't allow AI yet) and basically acted like he was talking down to a 16th century peasant.What compels people to act like this? Obviously I don't want anything to do with him anymore after this.

It blows my mind every time I realize the majority of my life is now spent with random coworkers, most of my time is spent at work, this is what life is. Anyway, thank god weed is real.
>>107957861Yeah I will soon, I just need to not think too much about it.

I had one interview that let me use claude code and they were happy with my performance despite the fact that I just sit there and let claude do everything.Should I just practice with claude? Seems a bit pointless if I'm just going to auto accept everything it suggests, but doing everything manually doesn't seem useful for practice.
My current workplace is swamped with work because of a client delivery deadline looming, and the management is making all of the devs sit in meetings for 1–2 hours each day, just to discuss on how to deliver faster. Meanwhile everyone is using AI, with the management pushing for it ("Use AI unless you can code faster than the AI"), and the results are as shitty as one would expect. You might have an API none of the documented options work and the tests check that the status code that the API returns is somewhere between 200 and 500 (inclusive).I actually feel bad for the couple of people with functional braincells, who will have to continue dealing with this shit and might even have to sit face-to-face with the client. The rest can suck it. I'm fucking outta there.

>>107959703I'll be making a product by myself from scratch, a display server and related software. Basically a linux graphical environment.
I'm not doing anything fun, I guess I should be productive.Time to learn Kubernetes
>>107959779Just let it happen, it's the way of the future, low thought tasks getting put to the machines freeing us to do even more complex work.Kids using AI in modern day already don't bother with most school tasks and even dont see the point of learning to read when AI can do it for them, likewise just let it happen to you to free up brain space for other tasks.Unlike the kids itll feel awkward since you werent born with it existing already, but that doesnt mean you cant get used to it to not be left behind.
>>107959956You were employed to make a display server and/or desktop environment from scratch? Interesting.
>>107959971It's not even particulary difficult to learn how to use AI. If you don't understand something, just ask AI to help you fill the gaps kek.
Always amusing to see that the general where people actually have jobs admit that AI is useful while the rest of /g/ seethes non-stop about AI and calls anyone who uses AI Indian
I post here but I'm a functional cuntsulcunt and you can't stop me
>>107960018Yeah lol, they saw my open source projects on my website where I work on a display server and they liked that and the other software there and my mentality of doing things from scratch and my reasoning for working on it. I have basically worked on similar software to everything they need so it's the perfect fit, not many people have the cross domain knowledge for that and I just happened to have that by coincidence of being bored and working on different types of software.
>>107960046also they saw it because one of my projects got popular on hackernews after somebody posted my software there, so I guess meme sites are good for something
>>107960046Good for you. I'm really surprised they wouldn't find X11 / Wayland good enough for whatever they're doing though. Plus if you die they won't have anyone else to maintain it.
>>107960089They have their reasons but I wont go into the details. The source code will also be available for free, but I dont know yet under which license.

Sir... let me telling you something about Claude Code... Yes. I think there is potential for improvement to society. It is optimizing all codebase for gorgious looks>>107959779Mrmm yes very true sir>>107959779E = mc^2 + AI
>>107960110>They have their reasonsDo you agree with them?
>>107960033People with jobs want to make their life easier so they use AI to its limits (be it tokens, capability or legal framework).People without jobs either worship AI or hate on it.
>>107960132Yes, the system will be much much simpler than x11 and wayland and you will be able to add features much faster and the performance will be better, so it will be possible to run it on much cheaper hardware. It will use hardware features that neither xorg server nor any wayland compositor uses yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKTsNV41DYgwhat do you dev people think about this video? this guy says the code generated by AI is shit and if you are a responsible professional, you shouldn't allow it.
>>107960310I have tested AI for coding but it has never been useful for what I work on. It always generates code that is completely wrong, using functions that dont exist.
>>107960350Also I have heard that they have done proper studies on AI in regards to productivity at companies. The people that used them felt that they were more productive, but in reality they were less productive.
Hey is IT worth trying to get into if i'm a NEET loser with no experience? I've been reading online that this industry has been getting fucked by outsourcing and oversaturation

>>107960350What are the things you've tried to use it for where it failed? I've used it with great success, so I'm curious if the area is truely unfit for AI or whether you're just using it wrong

>>107963323I started my CS degree back in 2017 when people were still spouting "learn to code", by the time I finished my degree I was able to get a job right before the industry's doors closed. I used to think people were exaggerating but then I started seeing my own coworkers getting fired, the future is fucking bleak.
>>107963347On the upside, if AGI arrives before investor money dries up then all jobs will be replaced and we'll never have to work again one way or another.
I posted about this a long time ago, as I had just started a new job. This senior guy tried to get me fired because he told HR I had been mean to him (which was a lie), HR and my manager investigated and nothing happened to me, I was so shocked and I was scared of losing my first job.Long story short, we changed management, my new bosses think that guy is mentally ill, they hate him and he's going to be fired (boss told me in person).

anyone pass interviews for an SDE job in the federal government? I'm wondering what the interviews are going to be like since the job listing didn't even mention a specific language, or responsibilities, they just said you need experience and coding proficiency in one or more OOP languages (like python, c, c#, etc).Are they going to put me through the full loop torture shit?
Purchasing productivity oriented products won't magically add more hours to a dayI bought a tiny foldable keyboard, because I imagined myself being productive on the train to work. After a week I realized, that I actually need these 40 minutes of sleep.Thanks for reading my blog.That's depressing.

Sometimes my manager asks me to do the second interview for a candidate applying for a job.Every time I say yes even though I am half autistic, not social and don't like chit chatting. I have literally no idea what the fuck I am doing in those interviews.The fact that it is the second interview already proves they have an idea about the candidate in the first interview, so why even ask me.

Bros, how do I stop giving a fuck about work and not let it affect my life? I was given a small warning for a mistake I made last week and I haven't been able to appease the survival mode in my body since then. I couldn't sleep for two days. I still try to be productive but now when I wake up in the morning I get a horrible feeling in my stomach when about to open the work apps. I didn't know I was so weak. Any advice?

>>107964661I've actually had good success with eightfold AI companies and landed an interview with microsoft a few months ago because I know how to fluff my resume to get past AI filters.

>>107964929>what do?Tell them that the job market is rough and you took what you could get, and that if there are any openings at whatever companys they work for that would be a good match for you, to help you get out of a "toxic" position progressing AI innovation by joining their teamThis takes their whole "AI le bad" narrative and switches it to helping you get into a position that they deem to be more ethical.

>>107967795Yeah, Europe is great if you have a 100 IQ or lower. Everybody gets to live as middle-lower class with generous welfare programsMeanwhile the USA is a hellscape if you only make 5 figures.
>>107967840Get real hobbies, find a way to get career progression, and start using dating apps.
>>107967777Why would I need a bigger apartment for myself? I'd rather have real walls then 2 more rooms.
>>107967795all i ask is people stop pretending the general european style economic system doesnt come with incredibly expensive tradeoffs for people that work. theres barely any incentive to work in some european countries.
you can easily get US pay in europe if you work for the right companies
>>107968004I don't think it's that easy
>>107968004yeah dude just become an l7 at one of the largest companies in your country. its really easy. oh yeah, and you will make what an l1 makes in the US, and that that will be literally 50% tax, plus tip.did you know that in some european countries the average "life sentence" for murder is 13 years? wow, that is so humane and intellectual. they actually care about rehabilitation there.at least there is some coverup and facade in the US about the fact just economic livestock. in europe they are really in your face about it.
