Probably you don’t have enough C++ experience… almost every time I interview someone who claims some experience in C++ (damn… sometimes even people that worked in C++ only for years) I am very tempted to advise them to completely remove C++

Now cobol pays even more (and kills you inside… that is why I removed all my COBOL and mainframe experience from my resume)

Are you sure? I have 10 years of C++ dev experience and I feel like a hot girl on tinder… have to constantly fend off recruiters. I have at least a an offer a week… I sometimes go through the interview just to stay sharp (I love my current

I did not post the previous comment but I am pretty much the same… I can indulge in alcohol and junk food with moderation (again I think my last hungover was more than 15 years ago)! I think to be able to “control” yourself one must posses

What do you drink and how much to feel fogginess??? I don’t even get dizzy after several glasses of wine (I am completely immune to beer).

I don’t think is a corporate issue per se… just your company (and probably others) I do get a salary increase every single year!

How can you have issues on a 6 figures salary??? It is uncanny! I live in southern France (family of 3) on a “average” EU Software Engineer salary (plus my wife salary as an accountant)and can’t really say I not much change in prices (besid

In my case my son (a month old) seems to be more attached to me (the father). Yes… the mother provides the food but it is way calmer in my arms then hers!

I guess this is a problem without a solution that will make everyone happy. On my side 8 hours without a single human interaction are my ideal working day (unfortunately that rarely happens since I have many meetings or people reaching out

If you need a social life get in touch with your friends and family! Working from home you will get much more time to spend with them!

Don’t you have friends? For my social needs I have family and friends… and since now I don’t have to commute and I am home at lunch I can engage more with them than before! Life is so much better since I started working from home!

A Bugatti doesn’t make you happier! After a certain threshold you don’t need more money to be happy … just more time!

So… I have 8 weeks of vacation a year… does this mean I won’t be able to use my account for 6 of these weeks? What about going to my vacation home during weekends? I do it multiple times a month… why should I pay more for accessing Netflix
