I have a similar life story. This field is toxic and hates developers that build useful software. Look at Max Howell and so many others like him. Reading through the thread it's all about vibe and liking people. Most of the success sto

At least we can agree on something. Try contracting, you can get more than FAANGs pay in Europe.

US cities are also full of homeless people and thugs with guns. Plus it's not safe to walk on the street, you have to drive everywhere. Pros and cons.

You should try to read before posting, the question is about contracting. Also, FAANGs in Europe suck and most of their good developers move to the US.

You get what you pay for. Good european engineers have US rates.

The guys rejecting candidates are next, so no end until companies start breaking down.

You're lying to yourself and trying to convince other people as well.

Discrimination is both unethical and illegal. People who reject based on vibe are bad people.

If you were a tree, what kind of a tree would you be. This is what happens when sycophants get promoted.

The stressed out and homeless people everywhere you go contradicts what you are saying.

Funny how you trust numbers fudged by politicians more than your perception.

Only a psycho wants to know "why" someone applies to a job. Jobs are exchanging work for money. Asking more than that turns it into a cult. I wonder if psycho employers think they are Jesus.

Wages didn't grow with inflation and nobody is dumb enough to take the jobs.

That's just gaslighting. They just don't want to pay good wages.

I bet they need more code challenges and soft-skills in their teams. That should fix it.

Women are not interested in being around toxic nerds with behavioral problems. Just to enter the job you have to survive hazing and humiliation and it only gets worse after. I'm a guy and I'm disgusted, I couldn't imagine a w

You will never get promoted and will never get hired without experience. It's rigged because management roles are reserved for narcissists and psychopaths. If you are not a sycophant and a yes-man you will fail as a manager because you

Just saw your comment after I added mine. There is too much gaslighting about management and what the role is.

So much gaslighting. It's a new role with more responsibility, more power and a higher salary or bonus. The definition of a promotion.

Except managers have more authority and higher bonuses, the definition of higher rank.

Sounds like gaslighting to me. The main thing the great resignation proved is that most managers can't manage and are morons. The truth is that people are promoted to management based on "people" skills and ass-kissing.

I stopped applying because no one is actually hiring. Most jobs are fake.

Being generous and helpful only makes people take advantage. You become the guy who knows things and does the work and you never get promoted.

Have you ever seen a manager fired? I don't think anybody is evaluating their performance.
