As a student I was dreaming about how things will turn out after graduating. Now I have a job and am working for over one year. The time I was dreaming about is now... But how did I imagine my current life to be 5 years ago? ... I have no idea what I actually want. What should I do. If I don't do anything, nothing would happen. Nothing would change... And I know that I will regret that one day. If I don't watch out years will fly by without any significant difference in my life. The path I'm currently going is investing as much as possible to build wealth as quickly as possible. But this comes to a huge trade-off. Living a life that has nothing more to offer than work-sleep-repeat. To put it into perspective, I currently have around 30$ a month to spend...

Hey, long time no see, I hope you are doing good. I was working for more than half and year and earning as much as I can to support the family while saving what I was supposed to spend on myself. I was living quite a frugal life. But things changed suddenly, company is in loss and I was notified I am among one of the those who were laid off (I was shocked 🤣) I don't regret where I spent money while I was still earning but I wished I was rather enjoying the process of earning and learning, hanging out with colleagues and doing blah blah blah. Now what I am left with is some savings and a constant neck pain and side effects of stress I was taking throughout this duration 😅 I realized one thing at this point, we can't wait for the things to get perfect for doing things that makes us happy. It'll never get perfect. Imperfections are the part of life, they are the one always pushing us to do better and better. We'll keep wasting our precious years of life if we keep waiting for the ideal time, ideal partner, ideal house and an ideal life. We have to enjoy the current moment, the present, and take care of our health the most, while enjoying the process of reaching to whatever we are aiming for ( a big house, a lot of savings, investments, a perfect partner or whatever) enjoying the process is the main part. Stress is just going to add another burden in life. Wellll, I am sorry if I made it tooo long, I just felt like talking with someone who doesn't know me in real life 😅.
I'm sorry to hear that... I hope you will find a new job soon. It must be a tough situation. The company I'm working at is also not doing well and already laid off over 200 people. So far I'm luckily not amoung them... But who knows... I get your point. But for me the problem is that I don't know what I actually want. Having the financial possibilities to buy a house, provide a girl I love with a carefree life, moving to a different country, retire early or travelling the world could be beneficial. But I really don't know what is even possible. It's difficult to explain... I can't find happiness in the present, so I'm hoping for it in an uncertain future... Not knowing what it will be and not knowing which path I have to choose now... No, it's okay. These days not many are interacting with me on noise. So I'm glad.
Thank u. I know it's a temporary situation and will be over soon. That's what I like about time, it doesn't remain the same 😅. It's ok if u can't decide it for now, time will guide u. Happiness isn't about achieving those big dreams, it can also be as simple as going for a walk, feeding the stray animals, eating a cone ice cream from a street vendor on ur way to home. Have u tried these things before? I often read ur posts but life was so fkd up that couldn't sort out my emotions to write. Well, there is a lot of free time and emotions to vent for now.b
Hm. I see... I can't try these things because where I live there aren't any street vendors or stray animals. I was also thinking about walking around. But not here. Idk... Thank you... Sometimes I'm thinking that maybe nobody is reading my posts anymore... Back then on noise.cash I always got flooded with likes and comments...
Oh, there must be other things around u can try. I have notifications turned on for ur posts so I usually read them as soon as they are posted. 😅
When I would drive to the city there are I guess... Thank you for that. That is really kind of you.
Heyyyyy! I received ( and accepted) a offer to join immediately,hihi. Not my ideal salary package but it's at a walking distance from my home and will save the traveling expenses and time so will be working here temporarily till I get one at one of my favorites companies.
Wow!!! 😲 Congratulations!!!! That sounds nice!!! What kind of job did you get?
MERN stack developer
Not bad! That's actually cool! Soon I might be forced to get into a similar technology stack.
I am bored of it already lol. Node has very limited scope and it's like doing the same things again and again, boring. Clients prefer PHP or python etc for backend so will be trying to move to other stacks.
I am good at my job but have communication problem with boys and at my previous job I was the only girl in whole development department . It felt so lonely, I spent days without saying a word verbally at office (I prefer sending texts on Skype to keep record of conversation) but obviously couldn't give up for this lame reason so were trying to adjust. I checked this company's profile on LinkedIn and couldn't find any associated female developer 😅, so history gonna repeat itself probably, lol.
Just saw this message. I'm sorry... I feel you regarding that, but I don't really communicate in general. I NEVER called someone and always texted my colleagues. They where the ones who called me. There are weeks where I don't say a single word at work. In general there are very few female developers. At my team there is none...
Hm. I see! For me web development is something completely new. I'm a backend developer and my job is about working on server applications in Java. But as you I'm highly underpaid. The entry salary usually is about 10k$ more than I currently earn... But I got this job with a similar intention like you...
Server side is fun too but I like to see the output of my work in visual form the most, on frontend side. 10 k dollars is not even my whole years salary 😭 hahaha. You must have heard of hiring developers from developing countries by paying them lesser, right?
I see. Yes... I only see the results in the terminal log or database tables... I know about that... The company I'm working at is doing that too. They got some cheap developers in Poland... For them a senior developer there is basically cheaper than a junior here in Germany...
Companies hire people with 1-2 years experience for 200-300 usd/month here at maximum , even less. Someone I know had a German client who was paying 15k dollars to hire 7 senior developers. But, what the person was doing is, hired only 3 people ( 1 seniors 2 juniors ) for 15000pkr that's less than 600 dollars I guess and the middle man was taking the rest of the money. They did the scam for 3, 4 years till the client finally realized and left.
300$ a month...? That's exploitation... By law the minimum allowed salary is 12.41€ an hour for people working here in Germany. I guess by hireing people who live in different countries you can bypass that....... If you can speak English fluently as a software developer you can find a job almost anywhere in the world if you are experienced enough... Even in the USA where developers are paid a lot...
Now u know how much they save but outsourcing haha. Well, I can find anywhere but society and family is a bit conservative, so I have to stay in the country, unless I decide to rebel and go against them😂.
Yes... It's shocking... Hm. I understand... The environtment you are living in is probably completely different to what I'm used to.
Yes it is different and difficult 😂
I can imagine... 😔
I was thinking ways of sending texts and then i realized I can just send it under some comments 😂
Right! That's true! 🤔
