Trying to sell my boss on "lead" or "principal" in my job title.
Which one's higher? I'm fine with either, not trying to egregiously self-promote. But chatgpt started telling me principal was higher than lead and I should ask for lead. When I threw that out, my boss had a look on his face like I was going too far, but he seemed fine with "principal".

3. what is your bosses position within the company?

I work in tech as a dev, not investment banking as an mba, but linkedin just promotes me a millions posts about literal who's series A that I don't give a fuck about. I saw one earlier today where a guy invented flip flops that won't fall off your feet by adding a back strap (read: sandals), talking about all the investors he got. I feel like I'm on the Truman show or something and they are testing what retard shit I will just eat up. Everyone in the comments telling him what a great idea he made. Retards, he made SANDALS, that's not a new invention

>>108359324
lead bullets?

>>108359332
It sounds like LinkedIn's algorithm is bombarding you with buzzwords and hype for ideas that are either unoriginal or obvious, which can definitely feel frustrating when you're in the tech space and see through the hype. The guy's "innovation" is essentially just sandals with a back strap, something that's been around forever, but the comments treat it like a groundbreaking invention. It’s like the platform is more about hype and validation than real innovation, making you question what’s genuine and what’s just noise.

how do i break into data analyst? how long have you been working there? i have 12 months exp being a mobile tester and 4 month exp doing general affairs. but that was like a year ago. i did nothing with my life since May 2025 up until february 2026. not sure what to catch up. I picked up excel recently and i think i can grasp it just fine. i have a data entry interview coming up on 16th next week. im thinking of failing that already but honestly i want to pass so bad for the next step. im turning 25 in may and dont know what stuff i can study on the daily if there's always different opportunity coming up. applying to QA jobs gave me take home tests/interviews at least 3-4x a month and other jobs like administration / It support always ghost me. neeting sucks. i cant pick a thing to commit and ended up wasting my whole day on my phone. i want to have hobbies like drawing / studying japanese but it doesnt feel comfortable doing that if i just cant get a job and move out of my parents house.

i know lots of unemployed people are constantly studying/making projects/practicing interviews while looking for a job but honestly i think my efforts are not consistent enough.

all i wanna say is should ditch QA and commit to data analyst? not like i'd get a job anyway. but i need to get a job before august.

The shit rolls down the hill

I'm 4 months into my first job. Full WFH, one project where I don't really have to do much, but I don't get many responsibilities either, so for example I don't get to make api keys or create services in our cloud.
Last thread had a post with an interesting article about sociopaths and losers and it got me thinking that I should probably be on the lookout of an opportunity to rise.
It might be time to think that maybe I should be on the lookout for opportunities to rise, not that I'm gonna go out of my way to ask for one but if I suddenly was asked to handle more projects or do more shit, that I would risk it and bring it to a negotiation where I would make it clear that I would like to become more than a junior and get a raise. Any advice I could get here, to know what to be on the lookout for?

I'm the anon you responded to. I'm in the states so dont know if this is 100% applicable to you. I pivoted to a data anyst 12 months ago from healthcare. Not sure I would recommend it as a career choice now but if youre interested, go through all your past jobs on your resume and change your tasks/descriptions so that they have something to do with stakeholders communication, process improvement, and working with teams from multiple departments. Make up some bullshit statistics about what you improved by some percentage. Let me know if you have more questions but forget about the neet shit or whatever. Just say you took time off to focus on learning.

I'm not tech support but I've been REALLY put into the crossfire between Tier 1 support when I've been straight going "No, Team A handles this." "This is a technical issue, nothing wrong with the product, you should submit a ticket with IT."
One group is starting to escalate to the point where I think I'm going to need to start creating a ticket on his behalf.
Another group keeps screaming at me because they're confusing my team with another team and I keep telling them we're not the right team.
Man....I don't know what to do. Management isn't really helping me with this and upper leadership just going to be like "suck it up buttercup and just do it so they stop crying" but I literally cannot help them since it's not my territory.

I don’t know if this makes me a low agency wage cuck but I fucking hate remote work.

I can’t concentrate when I’m cooped up in my room where I do 95% of my life. The tone is completely wrong when I’m relaxing and working in the same space. I can’t afford an office or a coworking space because that costs more than my rent. I get out of the house everyday and have plenty of hobbies/friends and yet I still hate it.

Everyone I work with is in a different 12 hour shifted timezone and I talk maximum once a week with someone face to face for 20 minutes. The ambiguity of seeing absolutely no slack messages or direction week to week is driving me nuts. I know I should be doing side projects at work to take advantage of my freedom but all I feel is guilt. Getting a fully remote job has been the worst possible decision I made as a graduate.

>>108364368
skill issue nigga
you will come to long for these days

>t. remote with 4hrs of meetings a day

>>108364368
it’s because you fell for the "freedom" meme without having the discipline to back it up. what you're describing is the classic remote work trap: you didn't gain a home office, you lost your home and turned it into a low-light cubicle.

if your coworkers are on a 12-hour offset and you're only talking for 20 minutes a week, you aren't "working remotely," you're just a freelance ghost receiving a paycheck until they realize you've checked out. the guilt you feel is your brain telling you that your skills are rotting.

either go to a library every day to fix the "same space" issue or find a hybrid role in your city. being a fresh grad in a timezone vacuum is a career death sentence. you need mentors and a physical "done" state, not a slack channel that stays silent while you stare at your bed. fix it before you become completely unemployable.

>>108364368
I only hate remote work because it's clear everyone is retarded and doesn't actually do their job. sadly putting them in an office doesn't fix the problem since they're all going to one of the ten different offices geographically across the nation so you still end up half-assedly coordinating with the fucktards over zoom getting fuck-all done while sitting in a not-cubical call center style seating.

modern wage is giga fucktarded. when I first got a job out of school it was actually good to be physically seated around the people I had to deal with to get the job done, daily. but now? I'd just be seated with retards working on shit I give zero fucks about while calling some faggot from Texas or Florida all day.

I disagree with this. Ask your boss for advice on how to start generating your own tasks without needing him to assign it. Use that advice to build a pipeline of tasks with some visibility to them.

honestly i feel like learning about AI is a waste of time, theres companies dedicating extreme amounts of money on developing it and finding a use for it, including highly educated / PHDs etc on AI research
a code monkey trying to figure out anything new on his own is a waste of time, just wait for them to develop something useful then use it

>>108365186
They're not actually asking you about machine learning topics since that would be clearly stated in the job description and you wouldn't be surprised by this if that were the case.

My prediction is that they probably just got some corporate mandate handed down that they have to make sure all developers are "AI-native" or whatever the linkedin circles are currently calling it, so now they have a dedicated interview to making sure that you have basic proficiency in using AI coding tools.

Go download and fuck around with claude code for an hour or two so that you can namedrop that you know how to use the currently trendy ai tools. Come up with a bullshit anecdote about how you've cautiously used them to accelerate your workflow, and how you've found that you get the most out of them by designing around strong testing and verification patterns in order to make sure you're shipping things that work

>>108362613

No, the new machine will not have the test features installed on release because you said you didnt need them. Yes you did because I have the mail stating so right here. No I cannot simply reimpliment it because it never was implemented, this frontend is a completely different project which would need to be refactored and merged into the machines actual master with high efforts. Yes this istechnically possible but not inside any defined scope.

i'm turning 30 and my dad is pushing 60. he's an investment advisor and he runs a solo gig. he just manages a bunch of people's accounts and he makes like 300k a year. i've been talking to him about his future plans and what he wants to do with his business and he's just going to let it ride until he dies and then liquidate it. no expansion, no hiring anyone, that's it.
i'm doing data science currently, and i'm seriously considering if it's worth trying to get involved in what my dad does. it's a lot more money (potentially), and i feel like it's kind of a waste to let this thing he built just disappear. but i'm also worried it would basically end my future in development. which i enjoy and i'm good at. it'd just totally dumpster my CS career. it's not like i could just jump back into programming in my 40's after a 10 year break.

i don't have anyone else i can bounce this off of in real life. in my mind, if it works out, i could make a lot of money and live pretty comfortably. but if it doesn't work out, i torpedo my career.

there's just two paths i can take here and they lead to very different outcomes and i don't know which one is the better one. and i guess there really isn't a way to know. that's how the game works. as i'm getting older i am starting to care about things that i didn't care about in my early 20's.

>>108367124
I have a friend who has a dad like this. Said friend is kind of a dumbass though so I can't ask him these questions and get a serious response because he lives in la-la land. He's often talked about "yeah, I could always go work for my DAD" but I just know he couldn't do anything by himself. Maybe your situation is different so I'll leave you with these thoughts instead.
>very few traders can beat market indexes consistently, so is your dad the exception to the rule?
>if not, why do his clients go to him to pay him commission AND make them less money and take on more risk than if they had just invested in the S&P 500?
>finally, how does he get new clients?
All these are intentioned to understand if his/your dad has some unique value proposition, or if he's just riding his contacts from his former career as an investment banker back in the 90s. That's not to say the latter is somehow not respectable, I'm not casting a value judgment here, but that would merely indicate that you couldn't replicate it when dad's no longer around to run the show.

Obviously there's lots of people doing this type of shit despite the statistics I alluded to in my greentexts above, so clearly they're doing something right, the question is do you have the same skills in relationship building, business development, financial analysis, etc. as they do

>>108367419
>very few traders can beat market indexes consistently, so is your dad the exception to the rule?
no. you're better off just putting your shit in an etf.
>why do his clients go to him to pay him commission AND make them less money and take on more risk than if they had just invested in the S&P 500?
because most of the job is talking some 70 year old off the ledge when fox news is telling them to liquidate because we're going to war with iran. it's managing their fears and telling them everything is going to be cool.
>how does he get new clients?
referrals and buying out other people's client lists. but that's how it is for all independent advisors, basically.

the thing is, he's not trying to grow. i've asked him why he doesn't hire on more people. he says it's not worth it. he controls the whole operation and he's got freedom to live how he wants and he makes enough money. getting bigger means the time commitment increases and the value proposition just doesn't work out for him as a 60 year old dude.

but it also didn't fall into his lap that way. it was years of building this thing that he now has. but the thing is, clients die. people leave. and if you aren't getting new clients in regularly, you've got this bubble that will age out in the coming decades.

so that's why i'm asking about it, i guess. because my dad is content to just let me do my own thing, and he does his own thing, and when he's had enough of managing people's money, he walks away from it and that's that.
but i could also get involved and steer it in a direction where i could take the torch when he's done instead of letting the wheels fall off.

but maybe not. maybe i'm too autistic and maybe a retiree doesn't want to hear advice from a 30 year old code monkey. i guess the answer is to try and get answers to those questions. but i really think it's a shit or get off the pot sort of thing, because i don't know if the opportunity will still be here in a decade.

>>108367501
Hey, fair point, I'd at least bring it up to him if you'd actually enjoy doing that. To me though, it sounds like it could be just as big of a headache as a job that pays around that amount. To your point, too, I think it'll be difficult to land younger customers. The financial services landscape has changed a lot compared to say 30 years ago. Everyone can go to any large company like Fidelity for active money management, and your competition has the internet to market themselves now. But talk to him anyway.

>>108367538
>To me though, it sounds like it could be just as big of a headache as a job that pays around that amount.
you're not wrong about that. if i was making 250k in a fully remote role, that'd be a different situation. much lower stress. you know what you're gonna get. but i'm not and i might not for a while. plus there's a potential for expansion that you'd just never get if you worked for a company forever.
>I think it'll be difficult to land younger customers
i don't think you're wrong about that but i don't actually know how big of a problem that is. i personally have no need for a financial advisor. i've got a 401k and an IRA. most people my age probably have the same thing.
but if you've got maybe a couple million in assets, real estate investments, paying for your kid's college, or your grandkid's college-- these people are balancing more shit and being able to just wash your hands of it and make it someone else's problem to deal with is worth it, i imagine. but i also don't know anything about anything so who knows. it's
a good point to make and not really a thing i'd thought about. i'd imagine there are always people who don't want to do it themselves. it's really the "customer support" that makes it worth the value. having a one-on-one guy who knows your life story, and you can call up to ask if you're going to fuck your shit up if you take out this reverse mortgage or whatever.

>>108367656
>maybe you could turn it into a well oiled machine that doesn't need your constant involvement?
that's the real appeal. there is a reality where it could grow into something that lets me live a life i would never be able to if i stayed just writing code all day. it's just really daunting to basically toss aside all the shit i've done so far to set off in a totally different direction. it feels like if i go that route, at some point i basically cut my fuckin parachute and hope it works out.
