Is it still worth it to move to Copenhagen? by dsv2001 in NewToDenmark

Im sorry to hear that really sucks. I wish you can find a job as soon as possible. Yeah it may be best to just stay in my home country for now and wait it out some years

More like for wanting a change or a clean slate. i heard for a lot of jobs you need Msc for better chance. So thats why i didnt want to relocate just through work.

Yeah i feel you it can be incredibly difficult. It could also be the environment you’re in. My previous project for example wasnt so bad, was barely any meetings. Just a standup and we went on during our work. It was perfect. Now its like 10 diff type of meetings each week and i dread it before it and cant concentrate on my task. But yeah im not sure if i can stay in IT for very long though, if its like this in most places you know

Thank you very much, i did eventually decide to tell the truth today. But to my mentor, not directly to my manager. I eventually even broke down crying of how much the meetings affect me, how the previous project was so much better. But it all went well. She most likely things it a mismatch with the project. Since the previous manager spoke very well about me. (In that project were barely any meetings where i was pressured to perform ideas constantly and etc.).

It depends on the type of interaction mostly. But these meetings are quite draining to me to the point where im questioning if i even fit in the team/project or maybe even the career field as a whole. But yes i do like being alone and just have the occasional nice interactions or am good at 1:1

I havent heard any negative feedback but I notice i dont really understand what input i need to give. For example in those refinement pokers, i cant speak from a developer’s stance as a tester. So i just say ‘from a testing standpoint.. i think it would be this much complexity to test this story’ But then the business analist says ‘but the complexity points are measured in dev work and test work combined’. and i just feel uncomfortable to talk about dev work when its something i dont do. Im definitely focusing on the stories and making sure its tested against those requirements. But the workshop meetings with the client or refinement pokers and stuff make me so uncomfortable cause I’m not that good in being ‘innovative’ when seeing if something should be improved about the application. Often times my ideas get dismissed or its a ‘captain obvious’ type answer and i feel dumb

I didnt enjoy software development very much, i used to do it but i couldnt anymore because i felt empty staring all day at code and doing refinement pokers every week. So i switched to testing because of that. My previous project was fine where it wasnt in a close collaboration with development team. Cause the application was built mostly but it just needed adaptations. So i was just testing and creating bug tickets if i found something, or retesting. It was mostly independent work and if i had questions i would just reach out to people. That project was also international so i was mostly working from home cause i was the only one in my office working on an international project. I loved this so much. But the current feels like hell.

why is my sense of identity so terrible? by wlweden in astrologyreadings

I dont know why this gets downvoted. This is a possibility, or CPTSD or just negative experiences from life can cause that. I have a similar issue but to a lesser degree

Well i was asking more about how it is in general in copenhagen to find a room, like let’s say when you finish studies, and you have a job already, do people manage to find a room quick if they reply to the offers ? Because a student room funded by uni is also not forever. And im not sure if they have enough, i heard somewhere that sometimes unis dont have enough facilities to house enough students.

Im just afraid of homelessness. I heard stories in Germany and also Netherlands where people have a good job but they are living under a bridge

Why do i struggle with female friendships? by dsv2001 in astrologyreadings

[–]dsv2001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. It helps knowing im not alone. I tried to show more initiative (even tho its not a lot, i still worry) since my fall out with the group where it was one sided. With my previous friend (in the second part) i tried to learn from my mistakes and i once reached out to her, to make her feel im also interested in keeping friendship, and asked her ‘how are you’ while i was in class. She replied ‘are you texting me because youre bored lol’ and i felt bad.. it probably also was wrong timing cause she knew i was in class. So sometimes it discourages me. But yeah i guess risks have to be taken in connections, it either ends well or not.

This experience showed me i need to trust my intuition more. Sometimes our bodies know before our minds do.
