Why would any intelligent person want a job?

27/software engineer/160k remote

Started out at more like 70k in summer of 2016, which I got by applying to a startup on linkedin and solving a quick take home coding question.

>>22361041
Can you literally think of any intelligent people that don't work outside of trust fund kids or people born into wealth?

I shove 80% of my salary into index funds and crypto. I should be set in a few years but I'll do ten just to get over it.

>>22361009

Fuck I just want to end it all right now, but also want to keep living to see things improve. the only thing keeping me going is the stock/ crypto chase

Damn. I should try this.

>>22361009
25/“data engineer”/90k USD
I was interviewed by a fortune 100, told them I had another job offer waiting, didn’t even do an in person interview, was hired in two days. They reached out to me. Just graduated with my bachelors at that moment. Midwest USA.

>>22361277
Same job and pay but I'm 23. Do you find the work incredibly simple as well? Part of me wants to get into real swe but collecting decent pay while doing easy work is hard to leave.

>>22361076

I'm you 3 years ago and want to be you now. How'd you finesse the higher paid remote gig, just apply everywhere? I'm a landlord on the side and having a remote senior role is the dream, could move around to wherever I need to in my area.

>>22361458
Just depends on the tech stack. Some projects are real easy. My only difficulty is the amount of work. I am managing about 100 separate reports, utilizing about 400 upstream DB tables from about 60 different sources... I am utilizing lots of SQL, PySpark, lots of AWS services and of course BI visualizations. Learning azure now.
Good for you anon, this is a great line of work. Learn cloud services and you’re future proof for 10 years.

29 / Hardware Eng / 95k USD

My buddy worked on a formula car at uni, I told him I wanted to help him "work on the hardware" and brought his setup to a job interview at a big 3 auto company interview.

I got the job on the spot just by showing it to them, and they added 5k to their initial offer lel

>>22361624
Nice, you definitely work with more volume than I do. I'm with a fairly new BI team so we're just getting started out on the push from on-prem to the cloud. Hopefully I'll get there eventually. I am thankfully working 100% in the cloud (AWS) which is cool. Thanks for the reassurance, I wish you well in your work.

Switched gigs twice since then. Startup wouldn't budge on my comp even though I drew the owl for us, which is when I got my first 2x by switching.

Then I networked with other young, like-minded teammates at the 2nd place and we followed the most senior one when he decided to upgrade. Full remote, even pre-virus!

So, I would say: be willing to move, be willing to switch and move *again*, network.

>>22361892
I am making it seem worse than it is. I don’t have users for more than half these reports, and I have a team that supports me. Always glad to talk to another person that is in this industry. Best of luck to you too anon. You have an amazing start to your career. I work maybe 30 hours a week, and leave whenever I want. It’s barely wage slaving

>>22361513
Oh I'll also say that companies that already have a product built are kush. Compensation is not based on how hard you work in software, at all. That's how FAANG companies survive the "women in tech" hype. For every person actually driving development, there's probably 3-5 people resting and vesting, tweaking shit, maintaining ok optics.

I did more in 1 year at a startup than 3 years at big companies. The startup was good for some resume bullet points and getting an understanding of end-to-end software engineering though. Now I'm just leveraging that.

At this point, I'm hoping crypto can get me away from low level coding. I just want to make strategic decisions, help with hiring, manage outage communications, run presentations, and so on.

OP you can make a lateral move to financial analysis, at least if you get a MFin. If you got a alumni network you can see if anyone is hiring for it.

>>22363211
Don‘t go into accounting, it‘s soul crushing and as boring as it gets. If you are not a complete aspie try to move into asset management or trading. Research what skills you need to develop (e.g. python) and start applying like a maniac. These positions are usually very popular but once you are in you are set.

Like other Anons ITT, I was hopeless/unemployed/depressed af in my early 20s. Just posting this to let you know that you too can make it anon. Being an awkward and lazy af INTP, I thought I wasn’t cut out for the corporate world at all desu.

Turns out, being a support main IRL is easy as fuck and pays incredibly well. Great opportunity to be practical, call the shots, but also not really work that much (4-5 hours/day). Outside of consulting, you also just file bugs on the product. My coworkers who play vidya are fucking 100x better at identifying bugs than my Stacy coworkers.

A bit cucking when you realize that you’re protecting millions in revenue for the company per quarter and still don’t get 6 figs, but I never thought I’d be making $90k+ by 27.

Any other cozy consultant / support anons here?

33/Cloud Architect-DevOps-Lead Consultant/~220k AUD/160k US

Previously worked in broadcast TV not directly in IT, which was a dying industry. Mate told me to focus on cloud. Struggled to get in anywhere, did a year of a Masters of IT, came up with an ML idea, and mate got me into a consultancy. Then just worked very hard playing catch-up (faking it) for a couple of years. Now enjoying remote work doing not all that much for above pay.

Thanks, 4chan data miners.

Most importantly though I just want to write good code and not be a burden to the team.

I guess there's law school and medical school, but they're pretty competitive too.

Doctors often start their own private practices as well, so you could venture into your own 'business' of sorts if that's something you're very interested in doing.
That being said, young doctors often have extremely tight schedules, I'd imagine the extent of which would depend on the field, but it wasn't easy for any of the doctors I know.
or you could just start some other sort of business, you'd have to figure out what kind of venture you'd be willing to put so much effort into tho.

I was in Accounting, but switched to “Information Systems” my Junior year. Got an internship, and now I work for the same company as an engineer.

My advice. Life is picking your “shit sandwich.” You get to chose the “bad part” about your job. So pick one that you don’t mind. People get paid what they’re worth.

In my opinion, learning code / something that is hard for normies is the best strategy. Good Luck have fun.

>>22367751
To clarify, I walked into my internship with no prior “applicable” knowledge.

My major was “Information Systems” pretty much “Half-IT” “Half-Business” for kids who are not good enough at math for Computer Science.

My current title is Network Engineer. I work with Cisco products. I manage VoIP services, Troubleshoot Routers and Switches, manage WebEx profiles, and occasionally work on infrastructure projects.

Essentially I’m the guy they yell at when the “internet” is slow. It’s a good 1st job, no complaints.

Yep, I don't blame you, accounting is boring as shit. I'd get a cathartic feeling when I'd finish an accounting exam I knew I did good on but christ is it boring. I honestly don't know if I'll stick to business admin and finance, but I don't know what else I'd do.

I have to be very frugal every month to pay bills but I have a paid off car and a roof so I can't complain.

You're why employers can't get much done and don't respect you. Low self-esteem chunk of shit.
I work for myself mostly due to pure luck and i love it. I paid a team of guys to remove a palm tree from a back yard through a narrow access path up a hill and they did it without a chip or a speck left behind. People like that rock because they are a team that can get things done.
Then there's ghosts like you, looking at your phone as soon as you think nobody's looking.

"Building engineer" does not require a degree. That is basically an HVAC tech for a big building, like a hospital or a hotel.

My job, yes, BS in Mechanical Engineering is required and I use my education every day. The closest thing somebody can do to my job without a degree is become a CAD drafter, but they often went to a 2-year technical school.

If you can keep up in the classes, you have the free time, and you can find a way to do it without going in debt, I'd say it's worth it to get a mechanical engineering degree and become an HVAC engineer. With your hands-on experience, you'd dance circles around the basedboys who think a P trap is spelled pee trap.

Design is fun and my job is cushy af but I’m already on the upper end of pay (relative to my city) unless I jump to a manager or art director role which is waaay more work. I could move to NY or LA and make more but the cost of living is too high to not live like shit. Not to mention design in corporate marketing is the most shallow arbitrary bull shit in the fucking world. I wish I had gotten into finance in highschool but I was a rebellious stoner nerd and thought the idea of a ‘normal 9-5 desk job’ was the worst thing in the world. What’s annoying is I come from an affluent area outside New York where all the Wall Street boys live and commute in to the city, I could have leveraged my nepotistic connections in a fucking heart beat to score a solid job out of college. I’m thinking about learning financial analysis and moving back home to leverage that but I’m afraid I’m too late in the game. Might fall for the code meme and do a boot camp. What do you think frens?

tips for lying on your resume? I got fired from a job last September and didnt get a new one until February. Then I lost that one a month in due to covid. I'm stretching the dates on my resume and have been getting some interest, but will most likely get fucked once they try and call my old company.

I was in accelerated classes and I just daydreamed all day, but often my thoughts would turn extremely negative. Eventually my teachers would let me play DS and shit after I finished all my work because I usually finished faster than everybody else. I didn't really like school, I just suffered through it because I assumed it would get better and I was okay at it because of episodic memory. I didn't really learn I had ADHD until after I finished college with a bogus degree and didn't figure out that everyone else in CompSci (which I dropped out of because I hated coding) was abusing Adderall.
My problem is that I can work well for like... 2 hours I'd say is my max peak motivation time, and after that I need like the rest of the day off, maybe get another 2 hours out if I have a good break and talk to some people, but all the jobs I've been capable of getting have required my utmost focus the whole 8-12 hours with miniscule breaks, nothing to keep my mind focused, and constant social and sensory pressure.
My parents and I just assumed I was ready for the real world because I had gotten through high school by dissociating so hard from the constant stimulus but doing it 8 hours a day 5 days a week with no end is killing me.

What ruined me was college. I learned that not every moment of my life had to be painful tedium. The problem is I don't think I can do this painfulness very long. My Dad did 20 years as a pharmacist doing 10 hour shifts and he suffered massive burn out as a result. I definitely can make the tolerance level higher but I'm not sure I can make it high enough to deal with most jobs. I've done two call center jobs and I just can't do them again, it's not possible, I left after two months at both.

>>22371325
Depends on how good these friends are and how you lay out the title (joint tenancy v.s. tenants in common). You have to calculate your roi for the investment property, divide it by how many investors are involved (assuming equal split) then subtract your yearly mortgage payment and taxes. Depending on your area I would recommend looking for a worn down investment property and try to bid under market for it and renovate it with the difference then rent it out. Ideally youre looking for duplexes and triplexes. I dont know what your budget is or how much work youre willing to put into property management.

Real Estate is on sale cheap as fuck and probably will be a ways into 2021

Now is the time to be looking for a house for sure, great investment

>>22371746
Yeah but I need to at least keep my computer and somewhat of a standard of living. I'm going to see if I can subsist on unemployment for a while. I just really don't want to have to get another fucking awful job. My last resort is asking my grandparents for money but that's not going to happen I think.

>>22371862
learn to code if you can, seriously. it's not that hard and majoring in cs was probably one of the best decisions i made financially

>>22371838
Go into sales. Pick something and commit to it like your life depended on it. Closet thing youre going to get to the illusion of not really working but in reality working harder than any wagie. Insurance is good because commission keeps rolling in year after year at a declining rate as long as your policy is still being paid. Real estate is god awful competitive but the commissions are big enough to make up for it. I know friends who became car dealers. Really any sales job beats a real job.

>>22371963
I’ve heard many CS majors can’t find jobs.

23
unemployed
$90 a month from subscription model...
I rent a PO box, forward pwople's mail, and advertise myself as a Regus clone, lolol

>>22371783

Not entirely theres anglos and irish too....

>>22371923
it most certainly is anon, but it might be a mid-term goal. I could move out pretty easily, but end up spending possibly 1k a month to just move into a city for no real reason. I really do not want to be at my parents the next five years, but I do not see the point in moving out if it is just to go rent an apartment. It just is not worth it. But with my lack of career path, I don;t know where I even would want to buy a house. It is a bad kind of double bind.

>>22371963
I've been coding my ass off since I was 12, still do. No one is hiring for fucking jack shit they all want me to have 10 years executive experience to fucking install AV software on a single computer
>>22371986
yep.

they have the worst unemployment rate on this late.

>>22372026
Get into an owner/tenant occupancy. Get a shitty duplex and fix it up, then rent one unit out while living in the other.

>>22371991

Youre gonna make it anon

>>22372026
>the next five years
>lack of career path
Man if you're thinking in terms of 5 years, I'd spend 2 more doing what you're doing, seeing where the world goes and GOING BALLS DEEP IN CRYPTO

2 years of good investing and you might able to move out into a semi-normal world with some fat pockets

>>22371986
sucks to suck i guess

>>22372052
How fucked am I finding a job after I graduate this semester?

26 // Electrical Engineer // 135k in LCOL area.

>>22372052
damn anon idk what to tell you, i've been on easy street when it comes to my job. i get at least 5-8 recruiter emails a week asking me to apply

>>22371837
How much drawing and geometry would I have to do as a engineer?

>>22372074
This was an idea of my uncle's that I found to be a good move, just would need to find an area I'd like to live in. I am more partial to rural or the countryside though.

>>22361277
Was the job entry level? Currently in the Midwest and trying to pivot from a SQL/SSIS implementation role to a more formal data engineering role.

>>22372149
Depends on type of engineer and area of interest.

>>22372149
none for CS beyond i guess prototyping sometimes but your drawing can be absolute shit as long as you convey your idea. idk about actual engineering.

>>22372121
apply your balls off, leetcode like mad, and try to get referrals

>>22372121
idk man I think it really matters where you live
>>22372140
Where do you live generally? idk man I'm losing my mind, the worst part is I have sick fucking skills

>>22371979
>Sales
Fuck me, out of all the jobs you could recommend. That's exactly what I did before. Sold cars. I hated it, a lot. Made a ton of money for no college degree, but working 50-60 hours a week talking to tards and assholes couldn't be more demoralizing and soul crushing. It's a problem when your fake laugh has become your real laugh.

Amazing job. Im just not THAT good at it.

>>22371746
I have no idea how people do work. I can barely do the dishes. I have the two most dysgenic parents ever can't I catch a break?

>>22372252
How do you even do something like that, and is trading actually just a meme?

>>22372221
You think 7 years military will help?
>>22372240
I’m in Fort Worth but moving back to Colorado Springs. It’s just so much government work in COS and it’s not very interesting to me lol

>>22372240
east coast. lots of jobs in NY and boston, big companies too

>>22372280
lol

36/sysadmin/81000usd (total compensation, including stuff like bonus, 401k match, etc.)

i'm actually pretty lazy, but because i take things seriously, i'm not sure how many people really notice.

>>22371962
If they are filthy rich you totally should.

I JUST WANT TO BE A PROPER WHITE MAN AND DO COMPUTER SHIT FROM MY RV AS I TRAVEL AND INVEST IN CRYPTO AAGGHHHHHHH

>>22372314
What’s the role before systems admin typically?

>>22372334
Yeah but they're already paying my Dad's way with like $5,000 a month. Which it was my intention to try and move in with him because he's an autist hoarder too but there is no way I'm going to be able to clean up his place alone and no one will chip in the money to get it cleaned.

>>22372340
Swing trade stablecoin pairs with a script, withdraw the profits.

>>22372401
You automated trading? Fucking how?

>clinical psychologist
>started my own clinic
>30 years old
> 100k
Pretty comfy desu. I have several days a week where I only work 4-5 hours - could make a lot more but the trade off with low stress is worth it so far

>>22372401
Where can I find legit info on how stablecoin pairs work? Tether and all that shit seems like such a scam but apparently anons who know are making money.... The scripting I've done
>>22372467
it's not that hard and has been around for ages, usually people use Python but I've worked with bots/scripts written in C, Javascript and others
Look at Binance api's for super basic intros

>>22372467
binance api! :D

>>22372382

highly variable, because the job varies a lot depending on the IT structure of the employer. some value experience above all else, some require education/certs, sometimes just a general aptitude for tech will be enough to land a junior/assistant position.

>>22372546
>>22372542
Is it lucrative automating it?

>>22372385
This post made me realize something about someone I love a lot. You’ll figure it out man. Don’t stress too much. >>22372559
Ok cool. If you needed a certificate for sysadmin which ones are best

>>22372655
if you write your bot well of course it's lucrative lol

>>22372693
Yes but I don’t know how to program. How long would it take to learn and how much could I make off a 10k investment?

>>22372716
idk man depends on your mental abilities. Look at Binance's api and see if that looks like something you could work with

If it was easy though anon we'd all have bots running and be rich

>>22372761
I’ll give it a try thanks for reminding me this exists I remember hearing about it a while back

>>22372716
pick up a language, even bash... read the api parameters, and develop your script according to strategy.
as lucrative as your initial deposit, and beating the fees.

is my unemployable neet high-school diploma ass more valuable than most of you???

>>22372842
What is your win/loss ratio to break even.

19/movie theatre, working towards bachelors in IT/$12.65

hope i can make it - end goal 100k+ annually.
any advice biz?

>>22372898
>What is your win/loss ratio to break even
What? It's not a casino it's a bot.... doing trades....

>>22372901
yeah buy crypto now that will stick around
Link
RLC
STA
XRP
RSR
OCEAN
Dev Protocol
ETH

>>22372953
FUCK crypto generally speaking its degen gambling not looking to gamble especially with those shitcoins you listed

>>22372919
Like if you make two trades at 3.5% higher than bought for. Then when you sell you’ve lost -1%. Making the net profit 2.5% before taxes.

Then set your losses to automatically sell at -1.5% From your original price.

Basically you only have to make two good trades to make up for three bad trades (with a little leftover).

Also fuck you dumbass.

I would say network. Go intern if you have time. Get to know people. I wish I started interning earlier. I didn't get into this field until I was 25. Already behind my peers by a few years in terms of income

I just want money for drugs and not working and I don't have stress anymore and I can focus on literally anything but gaining weight.

>>22373017
well now you know why you're poor. idk why you're even on /biz/ if you're too retarded to invest in crypto seriously
>>22373151
None of that is a win/loss ratio though.. it all matters on movement
And idk why you sell the dip instead of buy it, your swing targets should generally trend upward lmao

>>22373534
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
