Sounds like software engineering…
This is the job most of the time, especially at large corporations. You’re mostly fixing legacy decisions and trying to patch together solutions to current problems (instead of fixing tomorrow’s problems). Hang in there.
- cyanydeez 2y agoGuys, maybe software development and government are the same: mostly boring thankless activities entirely necessary but only observed in absence.
- ryandvm 2y ago"Hang in there" implies that the situation is going to improve. It won't. You end up ratcheting your title and pay upwards until you find yourself in the position of doing nothing useful all day for an amount of money that precludes switching to another career without a drastic pay cut. And you're probably hitting your mid-life crisis zenith right around this time too. "Boo hoo" I know, but it is its own little Dante's Inferno.
