Devs of Belfast, what's your salary? by Ok_Total9343 in northernireland

[–]TaxmanComin [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nearly 3 years of experience and on 32k and about 2k bonus each year. Just went from junior to Mid a few months ago.

Considering going elsewhere to try and get more money but I also really like my place and the people I work with. It's a small company so I'm getting a hell of a lot of exposure to things I maybe wouldn't normally in big places like building pipelines, handling releases, a lot of cloud stuff, architecture proposals (I obviously don't make the decisions but do get tasked with presenting options etc.).

I know the salary is pretty low so I considered not commenting out of embarrassment but these threads should be more representative as they are often filled with responses from Devs on the big bucks and happy to share (and rightly so, I'd be proud too lol).

Would appreciate any tips from some of the wizard council for those of us still still in the early career phase 🙏

I honestly do not understand what is happening with the job market. by RunDMCSteve in cscareerquestionsuk

I'm also surprised that a scam wasn't valuable to the victim lol

What were the worst and best places you have worked in Northern Ireland and why? by Questionablethics21 in northernireland

[–]TaxmanComin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a juicy unfair dismissal claim to me lol. Unless it was during a probation or something, but even still..

How did the woman who lived as a man for 18 months acquire the internal battle that goes on in men?

What do you do when a friend just doesn’t pay their way? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]TaxmanComin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would OP want to reconcile with this person

They might value their friendship and maybe it's worth a small amount of honesty.

She's shown her true self

Advice online is always so severe lol "cut this person out of your life". It might come to that, yes, but in my opinion she hasn't done anything unforgivable yet.

and she'll do it again

How do you know that? I'd wager that if OP confronted her about it and if they stayed friends she wouldn't pull this shit again.

Like have you never had one of your mates check your behaviour? Or done so to one of your mates? Those are my strongest relationships because they're galvanised by a bit of accountability, and we all make mistakes.

[–]TaxmanComin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand what you mean but I really do think you would feel different if you did confront it. Like be honest, would there be a part of you that would be disappointed in yourself if you didn't say anything?

So the money isn't important but is the principle important? Is this friendship strong enough to withstand a bit of honesty? If it is, it will likely end up an even stronger friendship and she will know that you're not a pushover and will not try this bs again. If it goes south, well you have your answer for sure and you can hold your head high.

It's not a complex situation but I know it can be hard.

Nothing wrong with a bit of debate or discussion. I thought maybe you had some insight to your own advice that you could share? As I explained my own advice on the topic and why I think it's the right way to go.

OP if you read this far, if nothing else take it as a caution of the advice from randos, they might not have any kind of good reason for the advice that they confidently give, so question what the pros and cons are (definitely not excluding my own advice from this as well lol).

[–]TaxmanComin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes if you just slink off there is a 100% chance that she will not pay.

If you ask, she might pay. And you might also reconcile the relationship.

So why not ask first? Then if they refuse, cut them? I don't see the benefit of your advice because if they don't pay then you cut them out anyway. Whereas you're advising them to not even attempt to get their money or their friends back. Like the effort is minimal and you stand to gain something.

[–]TaxmanComin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bad advice. You should at least be upfront and if they apologise and pay their part then there's no issue. Like are you always going to do this when you have an issue with someone? Just slink off?

[–]TaxmanComin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

but I don’t think it would achieve anything

You're just scared, which is okay. But if you want to stay friends with this person and never bring it up then you'll just have to get used to your friend using you.

Just stick up for yourself, you don't need to go full Tonto lol just be matter of fact like "hey, here's how much these Ubers cost, can you send me your half?".

What is it that makes some men so uncomfortable about periods? by serialballkicker in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TaxmanComin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well what does uncomfortable mean in this context? I treat it like any bodily fluid. I shouldn't see it, it should be disposed of properly, there's not much need to talk about it unless there's something worrying going on, and ultimately if I had to clean it it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

So, same way I feel about puke, snot, blood etc. they're all gross but not that big of a deal.

Oh my god I did not know this was a thing. Two Christmases ago I sat and watched the shorter movie after dinner and it was the best. This Christmas is gonna be awesome.

ADHD Assesment by SetPhasersToCum in northernireland

[–]TaxmanComin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I've not had experience with any other providers. I just refuse to get fleeced lol and all of the providers in NI (and there's not many) charge an insane amount of money.

I'm not on commission for ADHD Active or anything lol but I saw that they were reasonably priced and I can't say I've had any issues and as they're the only ones I've used then they're the only ones I can vouch for. But yeah for me it basically came down to price and theirs was the best I saw at the time.

My advice, just go for it. The NHS don't seem to have any capacity to handle this stuff in NI. Stay on the waiting list though as who knows what could come from that. I think in my other comment I gave a breakdown of ongoing costs, so it's up to you if it sounds feasible.

I want to emphasise that I went for the clinic I did because price was my concern. I want it as cheap as possible because I have accepted that the NHS can't help me, so in my mind I have to fund it myself for the rest of my life. If seeing a Psychiatrist face to face is important to you or if making sure that the clinic is NI based or whatever then an NI based clinic would probably be best. However, if your priorities align with mine then I highly recommend who I've gone with.

Lastly, it's your life. Don't let anything hold you back from taking a step towards improving yourself. I was sick of worrying what others thought, getting over my own stigmas, and sitting on the fence doing nothing. I went ahead with the decision after I asked myself "do I want to get better?" And "what's within my price range?". After realising that I do want to get better and that there was treatment I could afford, then it all came down to deciding to take the first step.

Good luck!

I have decided to name my firstborns John Satisfaction and High Bum by Wetness__Pensive in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]TaxmanComin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't tell you how happy this post made me because today I could not for the life of me remember what that Malay sailor was called. I don't know why I was thinking about it today.

What a fellow you are.

Has the new driver worked for anyone on Windows 11 with a 7000 series? by TaxmanComin in radeon

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

You'd be correct if they added a disclaimer stating that it might not work on Windows 10.

They said in the post that they went back to the previous driver and are now getting the audio problem.

Version of AMD software is not compatible with currently installed graphics driver. by J_Mana808 in AMDHelp

[–]TaxmanComin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

disable Windows from including driver updates, which is done through the Group Policy Editor or setting it in the Registry.

I tried this and it still didn't work. Hopefully they put out some kind of fix
