That recruiter should have been praised for his honesty... I would have interpreted that as a warning for a company full of twenty-something imbeciles. No one wants to be an unpaid part-time kindergarten teacher in addition to the normal jo

I'm using chrome bookmarks but i've collected over the years/decades more than 10k links (well categorized, can't say if this is a lot or not) making them a bit hard to search/use. I wonder what is the average size

Don't ask for a rise then. Ask for an early performance review discussion to check how you are doing, if you are hitting all kpi,etc... So, ask for the meeting that will decide if you are getting a rise or not, instead.

Finish high school. Then get a degree. Don't destroy your future to build some CRUDs with popular technologies (in the worst possible sense) every day and earn _peanuts_. The wast majority of us hated it most of the times too, just go
