anon, have you tried lying?
This is one of the actually true ULPT, most people do lie on their resume, the sooner you realise it and make use of that, the better for you
If everyone has imposter syndrome, no one has imposter syndrome.
I don't actually suffer from imposter syndrome, which, given that everyone seems to experience imposter syndrome, makes me feel a little impostery, so... Yay, solidarity wins again?
First job I has as a developer was for a PHP role. I didn't know shit about PHP. Did a small project at school at a point and it was all the experience I had. Lied on resume, got asked some basic questions that where true for all programming languages. Got the job, learned PHP while working.
Can confirm, just lie, worst case scenario you just end up wasting some recruiter's time.
Anon says he holds a degree.
Do people forget that a degree in ANYTHING allows you a legup on your competition no matter what the job is as long as it isn't hyper relevant to some niche position?
He doesn't even need to lie lmfao. Yes, even art degrees people. Employers just want to see you can commit to something for more than a year and are functionally literate in person and on a PC. That's it if you're trying for white-collar.
60k each? That's a nice goal but if you "need" that then you're probably bad with money
people want to have plans, and nice things too
120k for a no kids household is more than enough for a house, expensive hobbies and travel.
With 80k you could easily afford a decent apartment, normal hobbies and occasional travel.
I dont have much knowledge about cost of living in the US, but I'd imagine it depends on cost of living in the desired place no?
I heard on Reddit about people making about that in a big city and struggling to stay properly afloat, not like I can really trust strangers on the internet, but it sounds plausible according to my own experience...
You're pretty much dead on. My partner and I budget tightly, and make a combined ~60-70k. However, between an elderly dog, an elderly cat, our own chronic conditions, and insane cost of living (relatively compared to a few years ago) we're still paycheck to paycheck ish.
But they only got 18k each, so 36k instead of 80k
You remember when people told you that getting a degree in basket weaving was a bad idea because it'll never get you a decent job? This is what they were referring to.
Fake it til you make it, anon.
have memory issues
Well just forget about it then
