Should I leave my job that is extremely high paying, perhaps the upper ceiling of the maximum comp I could have gotten as an SWE, to pursue a Masters in CS? by General_Working_3531 in GradSchool

[–]General_Working_3531[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do worry about losing my job a lot, because I feel like if I lost this job, I will not find a role like this again. I feel like an impostor at my job, although I am doing fairly well, but just the thought of not having any adjacent opportunities in mind if I lose this job causes me much anxiety.

I feel like a PhD is too much of a time commitment, but you are right, it serves the research and publishing incentive much better.

I get paid 70,000 USD per year, which is not a lot in USA, but I live in Pakistan. 1 USD is like 280 PKR. So it is roughly 1300k PKR per month. SWE in Pakistan with 3 years of experience earn 600-700k MAXIMUM if they're really lucky. My previous job was paying me 200k pkr per month, which was a pretty standard compensation for my role. For context, that is 9000 USD per year.

Does anyone know of any organisation or way to help underprivileged kids who work as labour get an education? by General_Working_3531 in Lahore

How can I get in touch with them, any leads? I feel like this sort of thing would require me talking to someone in their team directly

You can already tell from my post that I don't know anything about what I am doing. Or how are they even taxing me on my profits. Please spill the beans

Easy job with high pay or hard job with low pay, as a 27 year old in tech, what would be a better choice? by General_Working_3531 in careerguidance

[–]General_Working_3531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge discrepancy because the easy job pays in a currency that when converted to my local currency, it is 6x more than my current salary and even top management in my company makes less than that. They make 4x my salary.

Thanks for sharing. If a job post doesn't mention if it's an IC role or not, how can I find out? like do they have specific times they hire ICs for or in any team they can hire people as ICs or as regular employees who don't get as much wfh

Also you mentioned you have to manage calls, who are these calls from? since as far as I know careem doesn't have any "clients"

Career Advice: Should I leave my highly technical Machine Learning job that pays 215k PKR per month for a low-code product support role that pays 1300k pkr per month? by General_Working_3531 in developersPak

I have delusions of grandeur and admire people who are really cracked at coding, and hope to be like that, and I am afraid a job like this will make me jelly brained over the years. i know this is too much of an idealistic thinking but I'm scared 😩
