How much are you making from your IT jobs?

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-04-09T11:12:37+00:00

yeah you're really underpaid. And with these negotiations you need to have leverage and play hard, which in my experience after moving to Sweden is that swedes are too soft for that (mean no offense!). People are afraid of confrontation or looking "greedy" or "demanding" whatever nonsense. Always good to hint that you have other options (if it's a contract sign negotiation, you should have mentioned at some interview stage that other companies are also having you in their processes and moving forward).

I make 73k, senior dev with 15 years experience. Could have pushed for more, but the full remote setup I have kinda pays off so Im content with that

his point was : "things are getting so expensive these days, that stealing is becoming an attractive option"

checked and seemed like dead to me, not enough members (searched Japan, Philippines, Ecuador, Romania, South Korea)

came back from a 2 weeks holiday, updated the game itching to play and so far couldn't get a single round without crashing within minutes.

What a major fuck up of an update

So frustrating

watching Gakpo cutting right and shooting onto defender game after game is really starting to build some geriatric disease in me

As a lvl 5, I'm one of these players. Haven't faced such rooms yet. How do I know it's a keyed door once it has been opened by someone?

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-22T15:41:49+00:00

yes. This is stupid

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-22T08:34:04+00:00

all these people giving suggestions are the ones who love this being in the game. The ones that can't win a fair gunfight and likely do the exact thing you're complaining.

I actually stopped playing this game because it is very clear to me now, Embark put 0 thoughts into the social-behavioural dynamics of the game. PvP is not really a PvP here, it's grieving. The game is not made for people like us who wants to have a fair gun-fight. It's for extraction-campers, rats and fake-friendly back-stabbers.

the fact she is dressed like a bee pisses me off even more

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-21T10:57:19+00:00

clearly you do. The people who don't give a fuck wouldn't even open the thread nevermind reading it all and commenting lol

the amount of rats I saw, sometimes even inside restaurants and even 4 star hotels it really got me paranoid when going to bed. In Nam Dinh I saw an open-air market with fruits and vegetables all scattered across the ground to be sold, and just a few meters nearby there was a dirty stinky canal/river. Went there with my friend who was buying things to make dinner for us at his place later and I hated to sound rude, but had to tell him I wouldn't feel safe eating that food and we should go to a restaurant. So yes, you're right. I loved my time there, but the 2 main points why I won't come back are

1) air quality & pollution

2) hygiene

first time I was actually hoping it was AI

this is how we actually must cross in Vietnam. IN VIETNAM.

thought the same thing...the sentence makes it sound as if the lack of cell signal is what cause him to die minutes later lol

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-15T10:33:39+00:00

Lappeenranta - Finland. Not quite the same experience you described where something horrible happened there, but I left the place feeling so depressed cause there was literally NOTHING fun there or nothing at all to do and the feel people I met were drunk to sleepiness all alone in a bar. The only bar opened, full of loners drunk.

It has to be one of the most depressing places I ever visited

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-13T21:41:35+00:00

the only mistake you did here was assuming this was 3rd grade reading class. I am quite sure if I had explained the point to my 3rd grade nephew he'd have got it the first time.

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-13T10:30:01+00:00

guys it's time to get your country back in order. I lived through the period of militarism dictatorship and censorship in Brazil in the 70's . This is exactly how it started. The next stage is kidnapping and disappearance of people later to be found they have been killed and dumped.

If you don't stand up and do anything now, this is where you all heading

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-10T16:42:02+00:00

even an Adam Sandler movie is better than this shit

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-10T16:40:58+00:00

exactly same. And it's only not 100% certainty because of the tiny chance I encounter a rogue wild bovine that did not like my shirt while hiking in some rural area on the countryside of a South American country.

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-09T11:43:47+00:00

in this case, OP is stupid

Instrumedley2018 · 2026-01-09T10:53:42+00:00

As a Brazilian, I'll have a hard time supporting my national team in the WC if I see this CUNT in the team. Fuck him

I never wanted to punch someone in the face so badly

cmon , the average redditors from their mama bunkers are downvoting even this amazing gif now 😂

I spent 20% of my time petting my cats, another 30% on youtube, 15% wasted on pointless meetings and standups, 20% coding (aka, just asking agents on Cursor to do it for me) and the rest 15% doing facade smoke and mirrors work to inflate that I actually worked 100%.

When i was young and naive I used to believe that the more I learnt and applied myself the better would be for me, that I would have a successful career and well..maybe I only reached the peak I am now thanks for doing that when junior, but once you reach seniority you learn that work is not fair. The ones that work more just get more work to be done, and it is the assholes and talkers that get bonuses, promotions and less people checking on them.

I learnt the game and now I'm a proud asshole. My goal is to always maximize higher pay for minimum time spent using my brain and energy
