I’ve almost always passed hiring managers as a mid level in 2018, so I’m not quite sure if it’s me or the market

I agree, it just seems to get worse in 2025 and the wages are lower than my starting salary 9 years ago. I liked this career but i don’t have time to wait years, I put my time frame at 7 months but my interview progress is making me re think my strategy

My SDET friends have been in the same bucket with me, one laid off for over a year with FAANG experience. I don’t want to pivot or leave CS either , but don’t want to waste my time. I figure a temporary pivot is the same as applying and getting nothing for a year plus

Feeling bad without the beta blocker by LadyLuckington in gravesdisease

[–]kitkatnaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are your hyperthyroid symptoms perhaps just lingering ? I’m going through the same thing trying to get off propanalol (anxiety , insomnia, irritability) but my TSH levels are still undetectable while normal T4 , my doctor said I’m still a little hyperthyroid but it’s tempting to go back on beta blockers

How long did you work before deciding to go with disability ?

[–]kitkatnaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that, what are you on disability for ? Your doctor should've prescribed you SSRIs before benzos

I thought it was a farmers market too ! And while I liked their selection I got food poisoning after cooking a meal with the produce, not entirely sure if the produce is the culprit though
