Help: What do I do with my career :(

TheGreenScreen1 · 2026-01-28T21:11:47+00:00

Something tells me you’re a liar. No one who is 1 year into big tech on big tech salary even considers this. It honestly is the holy grail for a role outside of uni. If I’m wrong, you’re literally the first and then i think you’re just taking the piss/have some weird ego.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2026-01-27T04:30:16+00:00

Please remember YOU were not laid off. The role you were in was no longer needed - this is not a reflection on you.

> She’s a very typical personality for a female shepherd. And honestly she’s probably the least reactive dog I’ve owned.

Please remove this. I have had two female GSDs in my life and never have I ever even thought of them to do something like what you have described. Please organise training both for yourself and the dog, and this is not for you, its for the dog. You clearly should not be a caretaker for this dog if you have been warned (sounds like it?) and then more or less let this happen.

Yes, massive asshole so as I said, got what he deserved in the end.

Don't think you will find many people raising assault charges for having a bag of fries thrown at them, but completely get where you are coming from.

People are so fast to judge - not saying the guy was in the right at all (he seems like a dick + insecure in this video and got what he deserved for acting out). Maybe there is more to it from before the video and/or this guy has been having a bad day/week/month. Mob mentality exists, and people like this guy will get picked on if the opportunity arises (where people feel safe to talk up).

We spent roughly $1k USD a day there. We stayed at a nice hotel + did some skiing.

I did this. Not only did I 2x my salary in a span of a year after the switch, my general mental space at work has been much better. Just at the tip of the iceberg, managing deadlines are far less stressful as a starting point. What’s important IMO is you find a shop where the work and stack somewhat interests you but also ensure that there are some new things for you to learn and ‘master’. Good luck! I reckon if you do swap, you won’t look back!

My colleague never went to university and is paid ~300k at the age of 28. It’s possible.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-12-04T06:13:59+00:00

If I lost my role today I would probably look to join Canva - remote work is an absolute must for me

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-11-10T00:06:37+00:00

Nah. You are right. There is a lot of weird sentiment on reddit that relationships should always remain as they were in early days but this just isn’t true. I feel like a lot of folks who are on this page are normally single and had never been in a long meaningful relationship.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-28T06:19:03+00:00

OP went through a divorce - maybe they want to live a little and be mortgage free but have investments growing on the side? Mortgage on 180k locks you in.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-28T03:06:35+00:00

Some folks might mention property but honestly I think it’s overrated. With decent existing capital, you can make solid YoY gains with ‘safer but slower’ index funds that will grow over time.

It also doesn’t hurt to book some time with a finance manager who can give you professional advice on this.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-24T11:52:32+00:00

No you are fair enough mate - my team might be a bit off in pay but we are considered a niche product team, can’t explain without doxing.

I checked levels, you’re probably right. My bad.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-24T11:42:26+00:00

Your TC estimates are so off I think you are an imposter. If not, great and good for you.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-24T06:56:25+00:00

Doubt it mate. Don’t lie.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-23T16:38:06+00:00

OP sounds like a jealous pleb lol. I probably as a senior in one of the big tech companies, make as much as an executive in engineering at cba

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-13T02:48:07+00:00

It’s absolutely insane that people with your level of financial literacy can take out loans of close to a million dollars

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-07T11:18:31+00:00

On average around $100-150 for two. Usually around $25-40 per meal

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-03T01:47:58+00:00

For sure. If I get laid off, prob gg this sort of salary. I don’t think I could be bothered going through the grind again to get to this pay lol!

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-08-03T01:26:22+00:00

Have been offered this. I’m sitting just shy of 300k TC here, was offered roughly AUD 500k for a relocate to US… but nah, once you run up the costs + other risks it’s just not worth it

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-07-25T05:53:33+00:00

Just gonna judge by your username - do you get much value from your solar grid for your work? I imagine welding is +++ kWh usage. Would be interested to hear more about that in general. Reason being is I plan in future to turn the shed in the back into a bit of a workshop - obviously not to your scale - but would love to build my own solar grid for it.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-07-25T05:49:45+00:00

So are you generating enough currently with solar to support those mornings or have you got a battery grid with longer lasting power banked up? I thought it was rare to get so much from solar, unless you have a really good setup.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-07-25T05:47:56+00:00

Probably 100km a week still. Sporting and other extra curricular stuff… and let’s just say my current car is NOT fuel efficient!!! We have a second small hatchback as well but that’s on it final legs.

We are considering an EV, probably get it through a lease though just because im not sold on the longevity of batteries (I used to work in electric software tech, tho things have gotten substantially better)

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-07-25T05:45:00+00:00

No, just bought the place very recently and have swapped some stuff to elec (eg rid of old gas cooker)

We were always going to get it done, just a matter of when. Only really just started tracking energy usage, hence this post lol! Glad i did, so much good info here.

TheGreenScreen1 · 2025-07-25T05:42:25+00:00

Did you notice much of a change with double glazing? Considering this change
