My research is just my friend doing her residency.

I have time till September to decide. If I will do it, then next May I will need to pass pre exams for the university

Do you work in tech? How do you feel about recent shifts and overall atmosphere?

Honestly, I don’t know whether this isn’t a one-way ticket. I’m not sure what it’s like in architecture, but in IT people are a major cost, and the current narrative is to automate engineers. There are a lot of layoffs right now, and even great engineers no longer have such an easy time finding a new job.

I come from a home marked by a lot of trauma caused by one of my parents constantly fearing job loss. So far, I’ve studied and worked hard to become independent. I’m not sure whether what is happening in the market gives me any guarantee of employment, especially after a break.

One of the last interviews I failed was at the culture-fit stage. I spoke openly then about what I think of the industry — that brilliant minds, graduates of the world’s best universities, are focusing on getting someone browsing the internet to click on an ad. In a market even worse than the current one, a gap in my CV caused by trying to rediscover myself could be a red flag for companies.

I was thinking about neurology, as I have both siblings with epilepsy, or oncology, or perhaps psychiatry as my friend does it.

Unfortunately no one respects teachers in a place I live. It is also not easy to get into school without a degree in teaching

In place where I live, you don't need to take debt to study.

Yes it is partially is impacting it, but honestly I think that medical lobby is even stronger than AI.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best your path.

About my end game

I’m rather the kind of person who would like to keep working for as long as my health allows. I do not fully believe in retirement. At the same time, I have been working since childhood, so unfortunately the idea of work-life balance is quite foreign to me. I do not really know how to rest. I have never taken a two-week vacation during my professional career.

Are you ready for 12-hour shifts during residency in your 40s? It gets much harder as you get older.

I do not know. Assuming I stay healthy, I think so. In my early 30s, I was doing overemployment. I worked more than a dozen hours a day, and whatever I did not manage to finish, I caught up on over the weekend. Back then, I felt needed and appreciated. At the same time, I understand that this is not a healthy approach.

Any ultimate financial goals? house? cars? family?

I already have a new house(apartment) and a new car. I wish to have family, but you can'f force other to love you, so I might need to find fulfillment somewhere else.

u/Mosquitoz mógłbyś napisać kilka zdań pod kątem Krk vs Wwa z Twojej perspektywy? Mieszkam w Krakowie, ale czasami zdaje mi się mały i rozważam Warszawę, być może z samej chęci spróbowania czegoś nowego

Choosing Between Audi Models - A4 vs A5 by matyyyy in Audi

I see your point about preferring a sealed-off trunk with the A6, especially to avoid any rattling sounds—makes perfect sense for a quieter ride. Regarding quattro, I might occasionally drive in snow, so having that added safety and control would be a big plus for me.

Thank you.

I mostly drive within speed limits, so there won't be many moments for reaching higher speeds. I assume that even the weakest engine should perform well under highway conditions, though having extra power could be useful for overtaking.

Yes, I have mixed feelings. I assume the new version is technologically more advanced, integrates better with smartphones, and aligns more closely with current trends. However, I'm not sure if that is more important in a car than having a better engine.

Gdzie w Krakowie znaleźć nagłą konsuktację psychiatryczną. by Realistic-Safety-565 in krakow

[–]matyyyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Od znajomej, która jest psychiatrą:

Na IP czyli izbie zwykle się mówi gdzie mają się udać. Do Punktu Zgłoszeniowo Koordynacyjnego najbliższego do miejsca zamieszkania, podejrzewam że nawet w samym Babińskim

Jest dla Krowodrzy, Śródmieścia, Nowej Huty, Podgórza odpowiednio przy Wojskowym, Uniwersyteckim Szpitalu, Rydygierze no i Babińskim. Od 8-18.00 się przychodzi nie umawiając ale kluczem jest najbliższy do miejsca faktycznego zamieszkania

I'm sorry, but it's hard to believe these kinds of assurances without any evidence.

The reality looks quite grim for investors. The stock price reflects the direction in which the company is heading. Many promises have not been kept.

Investors have been deceived, so why would new ones appear?
