i heared working in a call Center isnt that bad.

On non busy days they watch movies all day and just hang around. Also its this kind of job you just get done on a day and the next day is something completly new. You dont carry bad work with you for days or weeks.

And hot latinas are nice.

Only bad thing is the pay i assume.

Union jobs truly are the patrician choice for wage cucking it. I will probably continue to work even if I make it big in crypto until my wife is done birthing my children so I dont have to waste my money on medical bills. After that point, I might just come in drunk as fuck and sleep at work all day and see how long I can get away with it before they fire me. Then I will collect unemployment. If the system is built to fuck you, you have to fuck it back.

He doesn’t make $110k a year, UAW skilled trades (some of the top paid in the industry) only cap out at 34 something an hour.

I’ve yet to see a higher wage than that outside somewhere like nyc or New York which I’ve only seen 36 as the highest

aws slave here.., recently been doing less code and more dumb shit (aws account cleanup.. tag your EC2 vms etc) .. no oversight whatsoever and no politics, boss moved out of my state, sens an email every 2 weeks, downside is i dont speak out loud most days but i guess i'be gotten used to that

program my personal app for 3-4 hours a day usually and quitting in 54 days after a 2 week vacation...

I have a job, but during my job I work another online job. So basically I get paid twice. I'm making like $6000 (4k+2k online) a month now, and since my physical job has such bad management no one notices I don't do shit

this was my first job out of undergrad and i cleared 80k including bounses and tuition repayment. They want to give me a higher paid gig at the year mark but i am going to ghost.

i got aws certified solutions architect while still in college and programmed a lot sophomore-senior year. (basically all of my free time) But the kicker is i was a business major (MIS)

You can probably get $120,000 pretty easily with that cert if you know what you are doing and get an in-field job.

That's pretty great out of college unless you are in San Fran/Boston/NYC/Seattle/etc.

know what your are doing is a subjective statement. sure i can design cloud native solutions for new apps to be written but migrating frankenstein production apps is a different animal . my SA cert expired so i got the developer cert the second time around

also to anyone just starting out dont touch the aws console just learn everything in cloudformation, it is way better and employers will love it..

Not really thinking about that when I'm in pain/on drugs after surgery and don't even want to move.

Two pro-tips as an old fag:
1. You are prime age to make big bux. Agism is real and you are a "slow old man" at 30, despite that not being a real quote from Zuck.
2. You are in absolutely the hot-fucking big-bux segment right now, get the Architect certification and sign up with a consulting company.
3. If you are an amazing full stack dev, you can easily get stuck making 90k unless you are ready to move to FAANG.

If you play your cards right, you are going to be making 200k at 26 in a flyover. Don't fuck it up. I honestly mean this.

>> No.13449447

>>13449420

I guess that turned into three. Also, the cloud-transition hype won't last, and you might never be this ready to ride a wave again.

I am all for trying your own shit, but you need to understand that you have all your shit lined up to make more than anyone besides doctors, lawyers, and actually successful businessmen/execs.

Do your thing and I wish you luck.

I "had" (quote because it's always relative) to wagie after college. I wagied in call centers, wagied in office drone jobs, until I completely switched professions to wagie in IT.

My point is that you have it relatively good, and you might not be able to come back to it, just be aware of that - 90k jobs really DON'T grow on trees.

Your choice to make. Cucking can give you some comfort/time to plan your exit strategy. Being broke and having to take any job is a very real possibility if your senpai isn't rich.

Anyway, I think you got my point. Obviously I wouldn't be shitposting here if I thought being a wagie was a good thing.

yeah i got it. suck up the suicidal thoughts and put off my business ideas. become a consultant and work 60 hours weeks. logged it under boomer advice.

if i burn through my 20k stack in the next 2 years by failing constantly and horribly ill crawl back to the states and take a digital marketing job so i can learn something that translates to sales.

Fair.

If that's the path you are going, I recommend Chiang Mai in Thailand for your destination. You will need a secondary since you can only stay for 6 months or something before needing to leave the contry (but you can come back).

I do underestand emotions and I do live them on me really vivid. Its me not knowing how to interact on some situations but I do recognize the pain and feelings of others.
Though I am stupidly slow at getting jokes and underestanding irony I dont know how to interact with many people and I tend to avoid eye contact.
Its like having to mimetize myself as a normie constantly and those unconfortable silences are the worst but I learnt how to and when to leave.
Also my personality type is shy so it goes well with my condition outgoing aspies are the worst and unsuferable.
Also random existencial crisis since I was 10, always been brilliant and people and family thought it was that and I always knew it wasnt. It was not until 20 after 2 years of neetdoom and a depression that I was diagnosed with that.
Also I have a very rigid justice sense but I dont know if that is common and daydream a lot aswell.

You definitely can’t get a job as an architect because you won’t understand the prexisting systems, let alone advise 50 year old career developers on how they should move to AWS.

In my honest opinion azure and salesforce are hotter rn with less competition, pajeets have been studying AWS hard as fuck the last few years
