Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

I just passed on a tech job offer. It's not a bad job and I would have been good at it, too, but its just not what I want to do.

will I regret this after my other applications fall through? Yeah. I would also regret it if I had to work 40 hours a week doing that job.

I know lots of people working jobs they hate, so what am I doing turning a good one down, right?

Man. I don't know. i followed my instinct on that one. My instinct is fallible as fuck

I sold my soul to a shitty job and its killing me slowly. I'd say if you are able or if anyone is able find something enriching, lifes too short to spend most of your waking hours wondering when a meteorite will crash into your office to make it all go away.
