yeah, i'm searching, digging deep for sympathy for someone naive enough to accept a 35k offer in a 100k+ environment, and i'm failing.
the stress, the hours, the burnout, it's not for passion, it's for MONEY. you can go work on your passions in absolute leisure on a beach in southeast asia and never worry about money, but for the kids out there reading this, don't be tricked into thinking developing throwaway shitbox games for some asshole ex-microsoft millionaire is your passion.
35k is a very different kind of 'fuck you' money.
- LogicFailsMe 11y agoWhat? You think I accepted that offer? No no no, Instead, I went to a post-IPO company while the stock was down from the dotcom crash and did just fine when it recovered. In-between, Craig Venter offered me $45k, so glad I have standards. Everyone should have standards, no? Edit: +1 for "35K is a very different kind of @#$% you money."
