@jeeper yeah you right, just gotta make CV looks good for management

@jiraTicket my fear is being an engineer in a new company and resetting back to 0 to becoming a manager

@neriald I honestly don't wanna dev forever and wanna get on that management ladder

@jiraTicket I think your both scenarios are perfectly valid. Mine sadly was like using the frameworks other aspect to accomplish something that I was doing with yet another tech, but the other aspect had never been used in the entire code base, and I can't tell you how bad it actually is, it leads to a lot of redundant fields and an explosion in unnecessary files

@Lensflare I was actually being the consistent one in this case XD I was being consistent with the pattern he himself had written, albeit ages ago

@donkulator for real XD

@MammaNeedHummus yeah true that

@max19931 I'm the one in pressure, the other dude wants it in a different way using some other tech, both achieve same goal 🥲

@MaddScientist or any fintech apparently

@netikras this is true, I have tried to communicate as much as I can, I'm also working on another project that has soaked my time equally, my own boss communicated to them that this would feed into me taking longer but apparently its an expectation for me to balance work and deliver both as the time they want, as opposed to what I drafted out in tickets to communicate the work involved

@Voxera yeah this is it. I said what would be done in the specific quarter, they wanted more. I'm the only engineer...

@jiraTicket ah true should just say dev, these specific titles are kinda meaningless tbh since we have to do everything anyways (cross-functional, yayee)

@jiraTicket I'm worried that since I'm still not an SME, I don't have any leverage to complain since not a core member yet

@jiraTicket it's just a term I see thrown around for devs and mentioned internally too

@jestdotty yeah... my tasks assigned are on Jira all documented, just hope it's clear

@spongessuck could be, just feel other manager gives very sudden deadlines for tasks that might take longer, like last night one wanting a full analysis by end of day, there was an hour left

@b2plane PEPE has new advisors that will make more PEPE memes, PEPE will soon rule the world

@b2plane I am the fake retard who can't code you just mentioned there. But yes ofc I'll have plenty of investment once my PEPE coin goes to the moon

@shelby you want to feel useless?

@jsframework9000 haha true that

@jsframework9000 now hired as a senior so have to pull my weight soon 😅

@AleCx04 far too expensive for what you get. Food scene is OK, though I'd say majorly overhyped by many. It is quite dirty, and the trains have had many strikes these days. I am very thankful for being remote because the London trains, specially the overground at peak hours, is an absolute nightmare. Barely any room in the train to stand, have to bend a bit. Very hot in the underground and very very noisy because of the underground being so old. Even my noise cancelling headphones can't 100% eliminate it.

There's also issues of security, crime is rampant, strikes are rampant, and the salary isn't as much as it should be. But either way, I stayed because my flat was cheap, terrible management but cheap, and I could be close to some family of mine. But not worth it anymore, rent rose twice this year, and they increased parking costs by a huge amount too. The lifts in the building were getting old, I even got trapped recently for 15 mins.

@retoor no pets in flat :(

@MammaNeedHummus ty! Should help with cost of living crisis for a good month or so 🙃

My master plan is to buy back home (immigrant) and not just one, buy a couple, then retire there with rental income

@retoor oh I'm sorry

@retoor like best website or app to ask employees of a company to refer you? Ik there's LinkedIn but unsure if anyone would reply to a random stranger message

@aviophile bs as usual

After they say they can't pay as much as a small raise from current job

"So salary is the only reason you wanted this job? Not for our goals?"

If your goals were so valuable you'd have enough money to pay a bit more than my current job

most youtubers are the latter
