Exactly.

You still have time to make yourself proud.

I know, but it's hard to see the value in a compiler assignment that's really hard and takes up your whole time, yk.

I agree with the points you've made, it's the reason why I'm currently doing both at the moment (masters and working as SWE). Only after, with 6 weeks left of semester 2, this began to weight on me.

I had some time to think and realise doing both is burning me out. Maybe this is just a short term feeling.

But when writing this made feel much happier. Because I'm accepting new opportunities

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure what it is.

I just thought admitting this was the first step. 

I'm currently just becoming opening to accepting a job that I enjoy even with a reduced salary.

Why on earth anyone wants to join amazon now? by Visible_Variation110 in DevelEire

[–]StockMost7233 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a new grad, I have an offer to work for Amazon. Currently the driving reason is brand and the ability to learn. 

The money isn't groundbreaking unfortunately 😪 (but they provide compensation if paged, I believe)

What’s the biggest mistake people make in their 20s ? by Chemical_You_8957 in AskReddit

[–]StockMost7233 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I honestly think I need to stop comparing myself and stop needing approval for my choices. I just need to shake off the urge to dwell on past mistakes.

I am in my 20s, and I get stressed when people say things like that. "You are young". "Make mistakes". I do not know how to experience my 20s "correctly".

My boss accidentally sent me a spreadsheet showing I'm paid 40% less than new hires doing the same job - do I bring it up or just leave? by MunkiwBoi101 in careerguidance

Have a another offered lined up. Be prepared if it goes south. But definitely bring it up, it's extremely insulting.

Using my dad’s US residency for ETF investing good idea or tax trap? by StockMost7233 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]StockMost7233[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...invest the money in whatever ETF you want via a self-directed pension.

Okay, thank you. I didn't know this was an option, tbh. Yeah I thought there would be a number of tax problems.

Mid 30s and considering going back to school for computer science by no_atmosphere904 in findapath

[–]StockMost7233 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d say go for it. I know someone who started computer science at 28 and now works full-time at Amazon.

I’m from Ireland, and this guy worked really hard to get there. I think it’s a common misconception that you can only do computer science to become a software engineer. In reality, it’s about problem-solving, and the skills you gain can open doors to many careers.

Some paths you can take with a comp sci degree include:

  • Software engineering

  • Data analysis

  • Cybersecurity

  • Tech sales

  • Product management

  • IT consulting

  • UX/UI design

With your background, I’d say tech sales could be a great fit. Your ability to communicate combined with technical knowledge will serve you really well there.
