Nicking a living..

LOLL I'm just trolling

That's deadass like 2-3 days out of my week though

Also, deadass, my job requires technical knowledge, but since it's more on the project management side of things, ChatGPT has been a game changer. I'll be in meetings and just turning dictation on when I don't know what to do or what something does and people think I'm a genius now.

can you expand on this?

infinite use cases, but for example, I was in a meeting just now and my PM was like "hey I'm awful with jira, do you know if there's a way to create a filter to view ____". It was something super specific and had a lot of queries involved. I turned on dictation with ChatGPT in another tab repeating the question back to them to sound like I was confirming. While they confirmed, chatGPT pumped out a JQL query with the exact details of what to do in like 3 seconds. Again, just one example, but there's so much you can do this for.

like someone else mentioned, if you can stay in a technical role, do it. Project management lane pay can be very lucrative, but Dev roles are almost uncapped in terms of earning potential rn. I graduated with a degree in management information systems which is basically where you take half business courses, half comp sci (java, sql, css/html, database design, etc.). I honestly had no internships, but I did this WFH thing with Apple where I basically did tech support. I feel like having that name on my resume even if it wasn't a prestigious position gave me a good opportunity to get my foot in the door and I worked a new grad BA role for one of the top 3 health insurance companies. Exactly a year later, I got reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn and jumped at the opportunity since it was like a 35k bump in salary.

If you're in college or just have no experience in this, my biggest piece of advice is to use ANY experience you have and tailor your resume to the job description. Any volunteer work, school project, etc. Prior to landing a job, aside from Apple, the only experience I had was a school project where me and 4 people revamped a non-profit's website and I milked that as experience with "managing a project involving a team of developers to identify requirements in a companies infrastructure to remodel their in-house software".

It’s Monday, 5pm est and I’m already tired

Everyday I want to leave legal/tech/PE and become a primary school teacher

nah, i have teacher friends and hearing their stories make me so grateful for what i do

Sorry I forgot to comment on this but this is hilariously shrewd

I'm feeling the pull for community

any of you work in account management?

Feeling dehumanized

Wish I was the owner of an old & cozy coffee and sandwhich shop. And everyday I would watch my customers stream in and out, and make conversation with them, and try to be a bright spot in their day. And I’m a pillar of my community and eventually become a master of my craft. And I don’t have to worry about money because I make a decent living and am satisfied. And every night I close my lil shop and sigh contently at another day well spent…

but anyway... back to these emails 🥱

This but I wish I owned a baseball focused sports shop, that sells anything from baseball memorabilia to equipment

Making convos with like minded customers and enjoying each day working with one of your passions everyday

Back to work tmrw

sounds lovely, maybe one day...

My friend and I talk about this exact same thing every couple months. Maybe some day

just used chatGPT to win the egg drop contest at work

Bra I’m here in the office for no reason. I finished all my work plus my extra work already. That or I’m waiting on responses from others. Why am I here?

Paying me all this money to be handsome and spin around in my chair ig

Wish I was the owner of an old & established Muay Thai School and Gym. And everyday I would watch my students and patrons stream in and out, and make conversation with them, and try to be a bright spot in their day. And I’m a pillar of my community and eventually become a master of my craft. And I don’t have to worry about money because I make a decent living and am satisfied. And every night I close my lil building and sigh contently at another day well spent…

so real..
