can’t find another tech job for 2 years, pivot to a 60K+ pay cut
Yeah, I’m doing work that actually helps the world and my city now, but like…I would be out in the streets if I wasn’t dating someone with a job that pays for the both of us. It fucking sucks, and I’m technically working for the government, who just announced no new raises this year because of funding cuts.
Luv 2 B an amerikkkan were at leest i no im freeeee (to starve)
Feels like unless your entire career is absolutely spotless you’re just lost in the pile. Job gap? Non-big-tech job? Anything slightly different than the exact stack they’re using? You’re lucky to get a rejection email.
If I ever go back I guess I need to lie a lot more
