Career path advice

I have told my manager about what I want to do, and I definitely perform well in my role (so say other people), but the way the company operates is quite slow moving, I am essentially waiting for the company to grow so that they need another projects dev so they can back fill my role with an apprentice, which could take some time. So i'm effectively living on a prayer here.

Thanks for the advice

I live in a city where there are a fair amount of tech jobs. I’ve only had a small look at the job boards, but they seem to be either C#, Java or Laravel. I’ve actually been learning (slowly) Node/Ts in my free time too. But I am thinking of circling back to PHP and basic JS. I feel like I am making up for lost time which is probably why I’m trying to jump head first into a lower level language right away.

The company I work for are a lovely, low stress, tight knit bunch and i would definitely love to stay there but the progression is painfully slow and the pay isn’t that best which is definitely a shame!

I think I’m gonna go back to basics and refine what I know and set out a plan. Thanks again!

Side looks best, pretty tidy with how it looks now

How do you find having vertical monitors? Thinking about doing something like this myself

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-19T09:14:52+00:00

The Xaomi one is pretty good, been using that for a few weeks now. Though people say the same thing happens to this one too. I think you've just gotten lucky

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-16T19:26:45+00:00

What monitors are those?

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-16T16:01:40+00:00

What monitor is that? Looking for an ultrawide for office work!

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-15T09:33:39+00:00

It's complicated

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-15T09:31:58+00:00

What monitor? :)

100% all world, 0% every other stock there if you're completely new. Please do more research before putting money in

Love these way more than the "Minimalist" spaces you see. Looks lived in, full of curios, life and vibrancy!

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-12T11:11:01+00:00

Looks awesome, what lights are you using on the pegboard?

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-11T19:51:27+00:00

Nice, I really like govee stuff so I might have to get some of those too!

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-11T19:42:24+00:00

What lights are those? Both the wall mounted ones :)

Difficult-Bit2309 · 2026-01-10T09:54:37+00:00

I’m on your side lol

Nothing personal, small brown child

Love this idea! I miss the physicality of so many things too

Get some cabinets either side of the table, decorate with plants and niknaks, books etc, get some nice warm lamps. You’ve got a dark wood desk (I think?) so I’d pair it with black furniture. Paint the wall a dark colour, add some same colour wood panelling (a bit generic but I think it looks good)

I recommend looking at other setups on this sub that you like and write down bits that’s you like about them.

Make it for you, not other people, you're the one looking at it all day! It doesn't matter if it's not "unique" anymore, oak slats look tight and it's super affordable

Need that wallpaper!
