The native UI framework and even paid assets are absolute rubbish. I've actively avoided working on these as I realised how difficult and unproductive it is. Especially Editor UIs and Property Drawers is the worst. They have so many pr

No one likes competitive coworkers. I've heard of some being fired for being too competitive. I've also had a manager being very competitive against us people reporting to him. He always tried to monopolise interesting projects, f

Going office doesn't guarantee you will meet friend worthy people, if there aren't any. Where I work it's mostly older people in their 40's and 50s as someone in my late 20s there's 0 chance I'll make or want t

Not to be a bummer but: - don't get a pet thinking it's all fun and games. It' a huge responsibility and you have to take care of them constantly. Even going on holiday becomes a lot more difficult because you have to find so

Can you really decouple all the religious things and just focus on friends building? As an atheist I would feel like an impostor there and to myself for using that place just to make friends. Also sounds like you skip most of the talks and

Senior Software Engineer in UK here, I can barely save anything after rent and bills. Honestly I don't even know why I don't just go US, have nothing here, no house, no friends, no family.

How safe is US compared to EU?, you can get shot in US literally anywhere. Doubt anyone doesn't have a gun there. It's true you make a lot more money there but every day is a Russian roulette.
