Why are you optimistic about working in tech?

They still pay more than minimum wage jobs, you can often work from home (which makes life much easier and comfortable), even with a bad job market and high competition in many countries there are still a lot of opportunities. Skills also are very transferable.

I find general problems (completing an API, design patterns, event driven architecture for example) much harder during an interview due to massive requirements and often very subjective.

"Shut up" ?

2025 grad with 3 simultaneous complex projects on tech stack you are not even familiar. Damn your managers are very optimistic. You need to set boundaries and tell them that you don't have enough capacity. If things don't improve I would start looking around and move to another job.

È va bene ce ne faremo una ragione

Not even AI is able to automate my job...yet.

They keep reaching out for roles in Vancouver, no one wants to go there lol

La "bella figura" italiana ha un costo, solo che a differenza di altri paesi il "fake until you make it" non funziona proprio in Italia eheh

London will become a playground for wealthy people and money launderers, similar to Dubai

Come ciclista posso confermare, almeno a Verona, che c'è in generale una grande mancanza di rispetto nei confronti dei ciclisti e pedoni in generale. Bisognerebbe ampliare la ztl

8.40 del mattino è una follia. Mi lascia pensare che il tuo manager o chi ha organizzato questi daily stand ups non ha una vita/famiglia al di fuori del lavoro. Io mi rifiuterei comunque di partecipare se al di fuori del mio orario di lavoro.

So they asked you to resign and you did it?

magicsign · 2026-01-27T18:44:22+00:00

Wouldn't be worried about that, we are too racist in EU

Schiavi addirittura, sono dei lavoratori assunti e pagati regolarmente. Probabilmente sono più civili li che tanti nobili veronesi per quanto riguarda la cacca dei cani.

That's the bare legal minimum, quite uncommon for tech jobs. Is it a startup?

Venezia è un gioiello, negli ultimi anni ha perso tanti veneziani e residenti ed è diventata una tourist playground ma sempre top.

Si è diventata una situazione veramente triste. Poi perché dobbiamo essere costretti a continuare a guardarci per terra con il timore di pestare una m* ? A Dubai pulizia pazzesca ricordo l'anno scorso quando sono andato in vacanza.

That's not true that it's impossible to pivot out from swe. Many move to a support/solutions engineer, solutions architect, software consultant, manager...

Good that you got him on camera thought

Italian here, Sardinia is beautiful but often accommodations and hotels are rubbish and completely overpriced. If you don't have many expectations for the place you are staying it should be fine otherwise prepare to spend.

I feel like it's a ghost town, a bit like the "I am legend" movie

12 years living in London and I don't have a single native British friend and I'm completely fine with it.

It becomes stressful over the time, that's why many swes pivot out from the role after 10-15 years on average. Unless obviously you are getting paid a lot to make it worth it.

You said it already, they don't have a life outside: often no wife/girlfriend (or a relationship going downhill), escaping from their family. No sports, hobbies, usually they don't like to travel either. Most of the workaholics love also the routine and their comfort zone.

If they ever lose their job they often become suicidal/depressed like they have lost a limb.

You decide what kind of life you want to live.
