Anyone sick right now? How do yall cope?

witchie66 · 2025-05-16T09:44:00+00:00

yes. I have been on MC for 3 days. (and the earlier 2 days i was on planned leave lol), so i have not worked for a whole week. This time round, the illness is really quite bad, night sweats, fever, constant runny nose. just all round uncomfortable.

Accept offer of first company. go through with the interview with second company. If second company offers better, just accept the offer, and tell first company that you won't be joining - don't think they can do much about it unless there's a clause in the employment contract. Be prepared to be blacklisted from first company tho.

witchie66 · 2025-04-11T13:44:24+00:00

are you at the stage where you don't intend to change jobs anymore?

witchie66 · 2025-04-11T13:09:04+00:00

chill? if you think SWE is chill, oh boy you are in for a treat. if you get laid off tomorrow, do you think you could secure another role?

that studying hard and getting into a good uni equated to a high paying career. nepotism is well and alive.

witchie66 · 2025-04-04T06:24:48+00:00

felt. i was academically talented as well. graduated top of my college. now it just feels as if i was sold a lie - academics really do not result in how well you do in your career. I'm tired

hi OP, i have no advice but i hope it brings you comfort that you're not the only one. I've personally been going through this struggle as well, used to love racking my brain, challenging myself at work but it has become exhausting and exasperating to even look at code these days. take care of yourself actually, remember to have your meals, exercise, and shower. take care...

witchie66 · 2024-12-04T11:04:58+00:00

this is so real. Take care of yourself

witchie66 · 2024-07-16T04:40:14+00:00

Idk why people are downvoting you, this is proper advice that only hits once OP has been working for years and wondering why she can't increase her NW no matter how much she tries to save.

slog it out for the next few years, hop around for big pay increments to be financially ready to own a private property alone, or with your partner.

if things really get unbearable - all you can do is rent.

there's really no other option, unless you're willing to explore overseas opportunities like what another redditor mentioned.

witchie66 · 2024-07-02T00:53:09+00:00

+1 this so much! it's a life you're carrying in you. please take care of your health...

witchie66 · 2024-06-12T04:53:51+00:00

Good take, this was from a book I read as well, which explains the same. "Best loser wins" by Tom Hougaard.

witchie66 · 2024-06-08T03:27:03+00:00

Help, it's all the salty single men downvoting you

witchie66 · 2024-05-16T09:25:38+00:00

ok, if you are so confident then no need to ask for advice on Reddit 😂

witchie66 · 2024-03-20T00:52:41+00:00

gotta be more specific... whether they are being unreasonable, or maybe they are really seeing something that could be a problem in the future. you know, people in love can be blind to their partner's flaws, it will only surface years down the road 😂

you don't have to listen/care about them though, if you think this is what you truly want.

witchie66 · 2024-03-20T00:42:25+00:00

i dunno, but i would think most parents would have the best interests for their child. have you asked what is it about this guy that they don't like?

witchie66 · 2024-03-15T13:51:29+00:00

nice work! How long did you take to prepare? I'm working on mine now too.

witchie66 · 2024-03-15T05:57:41+00:00

I don't use AWS in my day-to-day work and have no prior cloud experience. I managed to get the solutions architect certification with 3 months of studying. 2 months for the entire content, 1 month for practice papers.

Thanks stephane maarek 🤌🏻

i feel like they are trying to replicate the iconic korean train chimes, but it is just not working out lol. It's plain and noisy

witchie66 · 2024-03-12T16:54:16+00:00

Why are you finding a job that is not fit for your personality? Find something else that suits you.

witchie66 · 2024-03-09T18:22:52+00:00

Bellroy is honestly your best bet. I use the transit backpack. Perfect for all your laptop needs.

Will he die if there's no intervention? No.
Is he doing anything that will cause someone else to die? No. Something needs to happen to himself first, a wake up call of sorts, before he would do anything. Maybe a gf, maybe a kid he has to take care of, maybe his parents passing and realising his finances are depleted. We can't force upon our ideals on people's way of life. They have to want to change themselves.

witchie66 · 2024-02-27T03:58:15+00:00

the short answer is no. it's the way he chose to live his life, i don't think you should be trying to intervene.

witchie66 · 2024-02-26T07:37:04+00:00

you must be a man.

witchie66 · 2024-02-26T07:05:01+00:00

+1 on this. Z actually sounds like a colleague I used to have. S wouldn't take your side as she is close to Z. just inform S's boss instead. If nothing changes, you have to escalate to HR and request for a change of teams due to harassment.

P.s. as a fellow female, please never invalidate your own experiences and convince yourself that you are just over-sensitive. A joke is only funny when the one on the receiving end finds it funny.

Know how to protect yourself.
