    Okay Yeah

    Why? It’s depressing and unfulfilling and just doing it for the money will give you golden handcuffs that will make you hate your life and be unable to do anything about it either

    Bruh you got it made compared to factory workers , truck driver jobs of the sort

    About to enter the market for a quality assurance job and you’re scaring me!

    I hope you get into a good company; QA is fun, but it can also be a thankless, low pay position in a ton of places.

    Okay Yeah

    Stereotypical corporate soul-sucking and utterly meaningless way to spend 40 hours/week of my life

    Want to figure out how to create my own company next

    no f***ing way

    Okay Yeah

    I did way less than 40h the last 6 months.

    It’s an individual thing to me, I just cannot tolerate something I don’t feel passionate about, no matter how long it is. And this was an accumulation of 8 months of not wanting to work here but being a coward about quitting because the pay was so good and it’s scary to walk the path of entrepreneurship. So I got to a place where I literally couldn’t open my laptop. It was really bad.

    Preach

    Okay Yeah

    I worked really hard to:

    • get an internship at this company
    • get a new grad offer afterwards
    • get promoted from new grad to junior SWE within 7 months (fastest in my new grad class)

    then realized it's not worth it. Like right after my promo, I asked about when id be eligible for promo again and my manager said no matter how hard I work, I still gotta wait a certain amount of time, like 1.5 years. That made me realize all this corporate stuff is bullshit. And even when you get promoted, your pay is not that much higher after taxes. While the people and execs at top are getting an insane amount of returns. Why the f*** would I be part of this system much longer

    I guess because I'm not in your position I can't really judge but I can't see myself leaving 250k job

    I would most likely live somewhat frugal and try to save and invest around 70% of my pay for a few years and then either retire or switch jobs.

    Maybe you're very ambitious inside and looking for something bigger?

    Does your salary matter to you or you would take a job that aligns with everything that you want but with much lower pay, say less than 100k?

  • Okay Yeah

    Build products people want
    Launch
    Generate revenue

    And if not that, then just raise money based on an idea

    Or go down the VC path

    Sounds like me at my job. I feel my breaking point is just around the corner. I don't see me lasting another 3 months frfr... yet they keep training me for new s*** like I'm gonna stick around

    you can literally google inflation calculator and click on any website and it gives you the same results

    But I used this bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

    Can you provide your source?

    Edit: nvm I found the website that you used and it gave me different results from yours

    I have no idea how you got your results lol
