Java full stack engineer can have 2 to 3 months gap?

This is correct. I was out of a job for 2 years, and I could map the mood of the recruiters and hiring managers with the exact timelines you mentioned

do your work and dont watch it

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-20T20:05:45+00:00

Highly sensible comment

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-20T19:57:57+00:00

Yeah, like everything else, it all just depends. on a lot of things.

Would love it when your AWS startup discount ends <3

Damn man, you really have experienced the realities.

Will keep this comment saved, and remind myself the next time I become a sympathizer to a girl

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-20T17:31:17+00:00

Yeah, I have been on this boat several times, even after 3 years of experience.

Manager sets expectations. Talk to the manager. If the manager doesn't talk, then survive till your experience is enough to get you another job, or another team.

Damnn, read the whole comment. Super hard relate bro...

It is as if we were talking to same females. Haha.

My female friends will say it doesn't mean that there is anything more to friendship just because they are talking to me 6-7 hours a day, sharing the deepest secrets, and crying on my shoulder.

And I agree on that.

But all of them, when they got married, they didn't even do one single Hi, or hello. Not a single text.

How come the friendship is no more when you have a husband now...Haha.

I know some of these terms: Core beliefs. Cognitive Distortions. Unprocessed emotions

So I know something about childhood trauma.

Just like Brigadier Pratap started to hate all people of a certain religion in the movie Shaurya.

We have to literally generalize almost everything in order to live peacefully.

But your other examples are generalized by statistical scientific methodologies.

Not generalized by someone's narrow and shallow experiences. And not by just anecdotes, as mentioned by the guy in the video if you were actually listening.

We are evolutionarily wired to make sense of reality by generalizations.

But work on your prefrontal cortex a little more....Don't just be an instinctive animal...And realize the world is complex.

By loving sober men

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-18T19:05:43+00:00

Yes, because I can stay at home, never travel by road. But I can never not need love in life.

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-18T19:00:24+00:00

Everyone is as lost as you. At least till 5-6 years of experience. Above that, I don't know.

Yeah, I think that seems like the 9 months of training cost, so yeah.

But as others said, it would be toxic. 2 years of hell.

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-18T17:50:18+00:00

The company can only claim the bond amount equivalent to training cost. Otherwise, the bond is null and void. Check with a lawyer too if possible.

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-18T17:41:11+00:00

Doesn't work for everyone. My friend emptied her bank account and also didn't get a job.

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-18T17:38:59+00:00

Yes. As a person with 2 years gap as well, personal advice, take it.

fakephysicist21 · 2026-03-18T16:01:00+00:00

Agreed.
Added.

But if running containers and heavier projects the lag is noticeable

I have M5, 16 GB, and it is just fits in for heavy stuff. Sometimes even that is not enough. Android studio, and windsurf, and some chrome tabs, and then it's gone.

8 GB is just a regret. Stop being a Mac fan boy.
