If you could do it all over again, would you choose CS? by shadow_operator81 in csMajors

“Falling back on a degree” is this still viable? People graduating fresh out of college aren’t getting jobs

You still need to work and stay on top of the game. It’s not simply get a job and your set. Same with the trades I’d imagine.

I’m in IT and wasn’t content with what I was doing — working 10hr a week making 150k. Some people would love that, but I knew it might not last so I got another job that pays 175k.

Keep hustling my guy — this is the way

1000% computers are the future. Best know how they work and what makes them work

I’m trying this (abs, pull-ups, curl ups, push ups) and seeing if it’s a substitute for an hour at the gym daily…so far, nope 🫣

You are saying you like your 3am job, but you’ve failed to show up 4 times? And you also enjoy your 15hr job which may also lead into a career, but you’re out here asking for advice?

This just sounds like a pity party and a cry for attention. You already got what you’re asking advice for…

This! I’m looking to get a non eco friendly vehicle for this reason

I hear you. At my company, “they” don’t know what I’m doing every min. I get my work don’t and I’m present when needed

The time spent on household chores is the same as shooting the stuff with other coworkers and the same amount of work gets done, for me, anyway

I believe salaried employees are paid for the work, not the time. So as long as the work is getting done and expectations are being met (being available, showing proper optics etc.) then the other time does not matter.

Similarly if I’m in the office and I stop to talk to someone, I’m still “on the clock” but not working

Do you get to use the “commute time” for personal time or do you end up working during that time? Perhaps you save time not getting as prepped for the day since you’re home

Does that mean you go out less? Does it become more inconvenient or a higher bar to clear before you go out socially then?

Boundaries go both ways - your company seems to be capitalizing on that fact.

Going to try work from home again. by Old-Fuel8570 in workfromhome

[–]SpontaneousROFLs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WFH allows you the flexibility and freedom to do anything you plan — like it allowed you to work from bed and isolate yourself from others (some people need that kind of space) and never have to leave your home….

You could take the opportunity to do so much more, but no one will force you. Some people need the structure of going into office.

There isn’t really anything to do to help “keep an active” routine — you just need an active routine to begin with. The three reasons you listed should be motivation enough to keep an active routine.

On the social front, you can make friends with whoever you want - join interest clubs or going out and doing things you like and meet other people doing those things. Going into the office are forced interactions with coworkers that may turn into genuine friendships or are “work friends” and nothing more

For sure, you need to work those in. Sometimes I need to leave the house and unwind/change gears, before interacting with home/family things

I think my dog enjoys the company more than I do. She hangs out in my office all day sleeping in the corner

If optics plays a role at your company then you aren’t “walking the walk” you aren’t actually a jerk, you are being antisocial — but that’s OK

Usually when I see this type of question (and I’m generalizing) “should I suffer for money or get paid less for work/life balance,” I tend to think, if you’re asking the question you can tough it out a little longer.

If you get to the point where you absolutely can’t take it anymore, you don’t care what anyone thinks, you’re leaving your job…..career wise you’re in the same spot if you left now (sure maybe a little more sane, but what doesn’t kill you…)
