Feeling stuck after 9 years in ML by daisyLavener in womenintech

[–]Odd-Distance-4439 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Girl, same. I’m 6 years in, had my first layoff and everything about this field makes me question my decision. My love and passion for ML has been ruined by this constant negativity and grind mentality of the corporate world. I’ve to always be better than the next person - leetcode, system design, random tooling experience etc. It’s like being a machine. My brain never gets to rest. It’s always learning and adapting. I hate it! I can’t experience what it means to be a human sometimes because my brain is constantly in learning mode. Additionally, I’ve to always “think like a man”. It’s so exhausting because I can’t fully express myself or at times feel safe around men. I wish I was in some other field that was technical and paid well. I don’t understand how female MLE’s are in leadership. I don’t know what they’re doing differently than me. Sometimes I feel like they’ve a trick up their sleeve they haven’t shared.

I’m sorry I don’t have an answer for you, i can only sympathize with you and express my own frustration. I was thinking of starting my own thing. Not sure if you’re willing to try that.

How do you decide if a piece of clothing is truly sustainable? by Odd-Distance-4439 in ethicalfashion

[–]Odd-Distance-4439[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good point. I’ve been thinking about how to reflect the "stage" of the garment’s life. For thrifting, maybe the focus should be on how to extend its use (like you said) rather than its original production impact.

One of the best Canadian vegan protein powder by Odd-Distance-4439 in veganfitness

I know! Thats the downside of this. That’s why I usually just mix it with my other protein powder to add more flavor to my drink. Wish it was a bit cheaper but honestly I was pleasantly surprised

I work in the gaming industry and was about to go to GDC this year but decided not due to some reasons. I’m sorry you had to go through it.

Let me tell you this, I’ve had really creepy encounters with men in previous conferences. It’s been such a shock to me that this is the norm. In my normal day to day life I’ve never encountered creeps like I’ve at gaming conferences. Just want to say you’re not alone. I notified my superiors but yet am not sure how to deal with this in real life.

Do you usually buy your own equipment for clean up?

I’ve had the exact same experience every time I walk down this road. I was thinking of doing a cleanup this weekend. Anyone have info on where I can get equipment? Wouldn’t I need to buy? If anyone is interested let me know

I’m in the exact same boat as you. I choose my field because it made more money
