Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
I feel super lost in life. Spent most of my life trying to get somewhere (or get out of poverty since I was a poor kid) but I didn't even end up super successful or wealthy...or anything to show for it. And now I'm not sure what I want. I wish I spent more time building relationships, making more friends and dating. I feel I missed out on life. Now I'm a 30 year old woman. Single and still not sure what I want to do next work wise. Idk, this feeling sucks.
TC?
It's low AF.
What is low af? Some people here think 300k is low af 😅
Most of us are. Prioritize and work towards top 3. Be it work or relationships.
Yes I'm working on building up my motivation again. You're right...i know there is still alot of opportunities and time to work on becoming better.
Quit your job and travel the world
I thought about doing that actually. I have enough savings to last me a year? But I'm scared what that gap on my resume will look like for future employers. And they know I need money and am desperate.
Worst advice ever. Traveling works as a drug and please do not do that when depressed, cause you will get more depressed after you are back. Typical withdrawal syndrome
You’re still young. Work on your social skills. Find a group that shares your favorite hobby. Start doing some online dating. TC isn’t everything.
Take some time off. Do you have things that interest you outside of work? (Watching TV doesnt cut it). If you do, find a group active in the scene and give it a crack. If you don't, find a random thing with a group that looks like you might want to meet (Hiking, salsa dancing, local sports, metal work etc.) It will be hard but 30 is very young. You can make many more meaningful connections. Oh and if you have friends you have talked to in a while and want to talk to, please please please call/text them. It doesn't matter that it's been 15 years or whatever. Your response rate might be abysmal but I can assure you that everyone wants and appreciates connection.
30 years old is nothing. You can still do anything you want.
Being single isn’t bad. Sometimes I wish I could go back to my single days.
1. Don't worry about the career, resume gap etc. Try to find out what kind of work you may enjoy. Money will follow if you're passionate about what you do, trust me on this one. 2. Take some time off work, spend time with family, take a few trips, move in with a family member 3. Analyze yourself, do some meditation, join a yoga class, look within your self, you will find your calling 4. One you have a good idea of what you value, it may be career, relationships, family, focus on deciding a career accordingly. Don't get caught up in the rat race. Career doesn't mean much in the grand scale of things. We are all going to the grave anyway. Focus on making the journey pleasant.
Always following your feelings rarely leads to a good place in life. Emotions are fickle and fluctuate with blood sugar levels, weather, hormones, caffeine, and alcohol intake... Silly things. Focus on your realistic version of minimally ideal life. Look at what’s missing and how you can get it. Think about the good things about working at IBM and having your TC and being able to save 20, 30, 40 or however many thousands of dollars a year means for you, your quality of life and your security. Relationships are fragile and people can easily disappoint you. At any point of your life you might end up starting over (relationship-wise), and starting over at 30 is a lot better than 35 or 40. Starting over without kids is better than trying to start over with kids. Friendships are valuable. Find people with high EQ who really care about what’s going on in your life and are ready to be there for you. Be ready to do the same. That’s all I have. Life is good. You’re healthy, and you know how to code. You’re also a woman which means that there is a lot less competition to keep you away from that high TC we are all after. Cheers.
Well said, and I'd reiterate, 30 is really very young, I was over 30 when married and started a completely new career at 35....
I disagree. I do think traveling for a year might be a little excessive, but a break like a month or two can bring some clarity to your life. Sometimes, we have so much going on we just ignore our emotional needs and just hope to get through the week.
