How do you guys keep your sanity after hundreds of rejection? /u/Rampeeep CSCQ protests reddit

How do you guys keep your sanity after facing hundreds of rejections? It can be mentally exhausting to put in so much effort and still get turned down over and over. So, I’m curious—what strategies or mindsets do you use to stay positive and keep pushing forward? How do you handle the frustration and maintain motivation after hearing “no” so many times?

Should I switch? 46k remote VS 55k in-office training program /u/Glittering_Role6616 CSCQ protests reddit

Should I switch? 46k remote VS 55k in-office training program /u/Glittering_Role6616 CSCQ protests reddit

Note: I’m based in Hong Kong so the salaries are much, much lower than in the US.

I graduated a year ago and was laid off 8 months in. I recently accepted a new job at some crypto startup for 46k, and I was very lucky that it is completely remote. However, I’ve just got an interview invitation for OKX’s supernova program for 55k, however it is not remote and is about an hour away where I live.

(All income has been converted from HKD to USD)

Current job:

  • Company: Some random crypto startup
  • Salary: 46.3k USD
  • Costs: n/a
  • Commute: Remote (1.5 hours if I need to travel to office on rare occasions)
  • Working hours: 9am-6pm (9 hours)
  • Languages: Rust

New opportunity:

  • Company: OKX
  • Salary: 55.6k USD
  • Costs: ~1.5k for transportation, ~1.9k for lunch (I could save this if I go r/MealPrepSunday and cook my own food)
  • Commute: 45 min – 1 hour depending on traffic
  • Working hours: 9:30am-6:30pm (9 hours)
  • Languages: idk, seems to be an infrastructure related role (e.g. AWS)

I know many prefer working remotely but I’m torn over a few reasons.

Social

I have terrible social skills, and working remotely and texting over Slack isn’t making it any better. As a new grad, having face-to-face interactions “feels” like it could be important for developing certain skills in the office, and I don’t think I’m going to improve much working remotely.

Career prospects

I really like Rust and used it for many personal projects, but I don’t know if it’s a good career choice per se. Rust jobs are rare and hard to come by, though I feel Rust tends to be used by startups with nice work-life balance arrangements.

The OKX program advertises providing a mentor and training. That sounds good but I have no experience with training programs like these, how are they and are they worth it?

Money

I tend to fixate too much on money, but 46.3k to 55.6k seems like a big increase to me. Considering commute/food costs, the increase would be 5.9-7.8k depending on how cheap I want to eat. That still seems like a significant increase to me, but I’m quite biased since I come from a poor background and am cheap as hell.

Work-life balance

My current job obviously has the upper hand here, I enjoy my current job for this alone. Saving 2+ hours of commute every day is priceless to a lot of people. Though, the points I listed above are making me rethink if this is worth it.

SWE vs PO Track /u/Mander95 CSCQ protests reddit

SWE vs PO Track /u/Mander95 CSCQ protests reddit

Hi everyone, I have the opportunity to switch from dev to a PO at a big company (currently a dev in a startup w/ 2 YoE). I was studying both career tracks to decide if I should go for it. To preface, I have an affinity for both development and business / people, so in terms of job description and day-to-day I’m ok with both. But one of the reasons I’m interested in moving over to PO is the competition in SWE I feel is way too high, I feel with a PO role I’ll have much less competition, even though there’s less demand but so is the supply. Is this true or not? Second question is in terms of salary, in non-US countries, does PO generally earn less, the same, or more as a SWE, assuming the same stage/YoE in the career? And thirdly, are the remote work opportunity percentage the same as SWE or lower?

What are some realistic pathways out of Software Engineering? /u/LordesTruth CSCQ protests reddit

What are some realistic pathways out of Software Engineering? /u/LordesTruth CSCQ protests reddit

I have a BCS majoring in Software Engineering, 1 year work experience as a tester and .5 years as a software engineer. I don’t think I have the same passion I had for programming 10 years ago and would much prefer it as a hobby, and I’m not much into testing (it just sort of worked out like that).

I’ve been looking to move sideways in my career, and have looked into Business Analyst, Project Coordinator, Product Manager, Networking (CCNA?) – I’m willing to do courses, but I’m afraid of not being employable because I don’t have a Bachelors Degree in business for example.

What are some realistic career pathways I can go into without feeling like my degree has gone to waste?
