Yeah, 3 days in the office is impossible to beat, they most be really desperate! /s
Now talking seriously, Software Engineering is a great career, probably the best out there. You don't need to work for anybody to make money if the big problem is the job market. You can literally create your job with a few months work. Now is every person capable of it? No, many don't have the grit and discipline. But that is not tech's fault. Is a people's issue. To call it Squid Game to get a 6 figures salary working from home is insanity.
- mnk47 3y agoIs it really as easy as "grit and discipline"? I find it hard to believe. Everything I've read about consulting work, indie gamedev, and one-man-SaaS apps has a similar message: that previous experience and luck are huge factors, and there's a lot of financial risk involved. Small businesses fail all the time for reasons other than lack of grit and discipline.
- meiraleal 3y agoPrevious experience is grit and discipline. The amount of it will have a considerable impact on anybody's success. Luck will help that extra bit that only people doing things will get.
