    clearly you value climbing a corporate ladder to increase your salary

    That’s not at all true, and I feel like people with this very casual stance on a career think that everyone else is that way. We’re not. If anything I feel like we just can think beyond the short term.

    Let me ask you, this person that lives this life, are they still working at 70? How much do they really have left to invest with these breaks? What if the market has a down turn when you’re on vacation and you come back to a job market you can’t get a foothold in? How is your 401k really looking with all these breaks?

    My goal is to not work a day after 45. I have taken many vacations and enjoyed my life while working but I plan to never answer to anyone after 45, just live my life for me. The rest of my life without worry and with security. That’s what I work for, not climbing a ladder. Security and an exit plan.

    I was curious. I knew software dev would be in there and it’s my wheel house.

    Engineer/Software Dev/Normal Office Worker. Do good work at a no-name mid-sized company for a few years to build up good working relationships and tribal knowledge. Leave on good terms with a handshake agreement that you can return in a few years as long as they still have room for you. Call it a “sabbatical”.

    So he worked for a few years first. Not the 1-2 years this has talking about. His value is relationships and tribal knowledge, neither help him get a job at another company if the no name company goes under. Left that company with nothing but a promise that you might be able to come back… And if he can’t, welp that’s going to be rough.

    This seems line a VERY unstable future.

    Also if these people are making 6 figures in 6 months I don’t see the govment helping them with Healthcare. And living in a van it doesn’t seem easy to have a network. Raising a kid like that also seems kinda messed up, they don’t get to develop those social skills…

    If I was looking at a hire who only gives a year I’m thinking that’s a big investment to get them up to speed on our tech, train them, and start getting them projects only to know they’re going to bounce. Not to mention provisioning tech and tools for them. I think experience and a company willing to hire you becomes the issue if you do this too often.

    Stem jobs aren’t a spot where you want to be losing your talent every year, it’s hard to push forward with that. I see companies avoiding those hires honestly.

    Also, how do you advance and make more, if that’s what you want, without working somewhere long enough to grow. Self education helps, but practical experience is needed.

    If I were them, just be a freelancer. It gives you the freedom and you’re your own boss.

    Jesus, this reads like an angsty teen. That whole last paragraph… You feel proud about that? You happy with how that came across?

    That’s so much good for you than you still write.

    What? Are you having a stroke? That sure would explain all this nonsense.

    But man, I really missed out on how the ls command can move you through directories on it’s own. I don’t even need cd anymore, wow. That would have been revolutionary.

    It’s not a hill on dying in lol. You are objectively wrong. There no debate.

    But sure, since I upset you, that’s why you won’t tell me where I messed up. Right… Because you totally know, like for sure, but you just won’t tell me because you got your feelings hurt. Lol ok. You don’t even understand the basics of the things you are talking about. You are so transparent.

    You know nothing about Linux, you clearly know nothing about Android or it’s file system either. You don’t even realize you can literally open a Linux shell on your android lol

    Just sit down, you’re embarrassing yourself.

    Someone asked what the hell you want to do. You said what you wanted to do, I’m telling you that you can. Where are you confused at?

    Be an ignorant ass all you want, you just look stupid. Maybe educate yourself on a topic before claiming you can’t do something.

    Also you don’t traverse with the ls command, that shows what’s in a directory, it doesn’t traverse them. So when you say “traverse by fucking ls” you look like a kid who just installed Linux lol
