It's fucking over. I should have majored in a STEM field when I was in my 20's. Even switching to IT in my 30's hasn't saved me.

120 as an architect? Where do you work, New Delhi? That salary sounds like shit for the title. What are you actually doing day to day?

[Anonymous No.55781964]

>>55781905
It's definitely an over blown title. I'm more of a senior sysadmin. I manage our Microsoft 365 environment so I'm not necessarily building or architecting apps or tools, which is why the price is fairly low, plus Microsoft 365 is more business support instead of revenue generating, so that's why an AWS or azure architect would be making $20-$30k more.

[Anonymous No.55782018]

>>55781964
its not that hard, learn aws or azure. 120 is low you should be able to move to around 140 or 150 easily.

Yeah it's dependent on where you are
In NYC and LA you can make 6 figures mowing some lawn lol, but yeah that $100k basically takes you nowhere. Salaries for tech jobs in those places are the ones that push $200k-$350k, because that money goes as far as $100k does in Appalachia.
A lot of people in tech are also very dishonest about this, many advertising that they took pay cuts over the past few years when the reality is that they took a job transfer in Boise Idaho from LA, of course you don't need $300k in Idaho, I mean have you ever been there? There isn't enough things there to spend that money on lmao

I know noone cares but an addendum to that ADHD pic is a sense of dread and fear over a something that genuinely makes zero sense. I got a bill for a semester of grad school at 14k and for some reason extrapolated it in my mind that I was paying 60k out of pocket over the course of a year and ruined my mood for a whole day. I woke up the next morning confused as to how the hell I made that correlation. Not the first time I find something to get panicky over.

i agonize over every little decision, even if it cost me $10-20. i'm constantly filled with regret, whether i do something or not. if i don't do it i regret it, and if i do it i also regret it. if i do nothing i feel like ending it all. so i have to do something, feel regret and just deal with it. look into jap principles of wabi-sabi, imperfection, etc. if you are interested in using that to correct this perfectionist retard way of thinking and panicking.

i also get pissed if i don't perfectly buy the bottom or sell the top, so i don't invest at all anymore.

You think that's bad? One day walking around campus I got my calculator out and determine how much my tuition cost for every waking minute I spent on grounds. I nearly broke down on a bench because I was three years deep and no one told me I had made a mistake. Graduated in 2020 and my degree has not helped me in any conceivable way besides bringing me additional anxiety.

>everyone ITT with jobs
You have no idea how much I want to work, watching all these opportunities slip by me wrecks my heart but I do wish the best for the good anons here, you guys have put up with a lot of bullshit so you deserve something nice.

I know nobody really cares but I do, it's my biggest fault my heart cares so damn much I can't hurt people, lie, do anything to benefit myself so I'm always stuck in a rut.

But I still can't change my nature, I'm sorry if anyone responds and it takes awhile my internet is going to shit this last week.

Autism, worked odd jobs here and there my entire life but never for long and eventually my health failed was a slow failing because I didn't have health insurance and being naive to the healthcare community let my body run down and my mind followed suit.

I'm lucky I have family but it's a tiring life, I'm trying to rebuild again but waiting for disability determination based off my neuroforminal stenosis but they are making me do a mental eval on the 30th as well before they decide, I just pray I get it so I can use the medicaid,ebt and income to prop myself back into a normal position.

I really do want to live/work and get back into what a sense of normalcy is.
Also likely having a few surgeries on my back in october so I can't work and still running labs and ultrasounds on other issues I'm dealing with.

Just focus on improving your physical and mental health for now. You shouldn't torture yourself with a job if your body can't take it.
If you live in a major city, there is probably some sort of program that helps autistic people with jobs and life skills. But you should make health and hygiene (dental, sleep, mental, physical) your top priority for now.

[Anonymous No.55784264]

>>55784157
That's pretty much what I'm trying to do luckily I paid all my bills with what I had but the world doesn't stop assuming I get approved for autism/physical disability it should pay my bills as well.

Going through all this shit while sick is torture, I feel jealous of people who are fine are just fake their symptoms to get this shit while I'm bedridden most days.

Hoping the teeth removed will help my physical pain and infections go down for now.

I just hate watching the world go by while mine slowly crumbles.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that anon. Hopefully as the medicle issues subside, the lack of pain will improve each day bit by bit. From there maybe you can find some work to do, something small to carve out in your life that you can do for your pleasure. Enjoy the process as best you can. I'm rooting for you

You're being senseless. You need to be more in touch with your senses. Let the right decision come to you. Its called wu Wei. When you try to think too hard about something you lose touch with the true nature of perception. You need to trust your senses more, they have evolved over the course of thousands if not millions of years of surviving harsh conditions
