If you want rot on forums all day just get a job in tech

[Jason Voorhees]

In most tech roles, work is organized into agile/scrum model with people being given what we call sprints. It short iterative development cycles where devs focus on specific deliverables. The actual hands on development comes in bursts like implementing new features, debugging, fixing issues, and writing unit tests. These coding sessions only take a few hours each day, while the rest of the time is spent on reviews, planning, or coordinating within the sprint cycle. And during this time you can do whatever the fuck you want on your computer. Discord, Reddit, Slack groups are where a lot of tech people hang out

In Devops roles that monitoring oriented once systems are stable and pipeline.You get a lot of downtime. I've seen people bringing another monitor and play games on it while they watch the logs on another screen. Many cybersec guys do alerts, audits, or penetration testing for a few hours and just waste time for the rest of the day playing snooker at the office or taking 3 hour lunch breaks. You can do whatever you want in your down time.

Rot on discord, rot on this forum. Argue with 4chaners, make political posts on X. Play GTA 5 go ahead. Word of advice buy yourself a privacy screen and pick a cubicle that is towards a corner so nobody can spot you watching hentai in 4k. Not that is matters of someone catches you anyway but you need to maintain a little bit of your reputation. You do get a lot of downtime in tech roles but it's not free for all chaos. Work still flows around priorities, deadlines, and team responsibilities and for some high stakes product teams and startups this is definitely not true and they expect long hours and consistent output from you. It all depends on policies and the work culture of that company so your mileage may vary.

Generally people make fun of buisness major as a joke major but I don't think it is too bad if you have different expectations from uni and have connections. Some people just want to enjoy uni life and that is fine. As long as people know what they are getting into. It's all good.

Yea exactly

I have a minor in math actually

Just so I have at least one class that's somewhat stimulating lmao

But yes u have so much time to enjoy ur time

Def less valuable then STEM degrees tho

That's also why I wanted to do a math minor

 

[GigachadAspie1997]

OP is coping anyway
Tech jobs are high stress and rot your body
Using the internet or screens all day is neither good for your body, mind, nor your social life

Not really most of them aren't high stress unless you want it to be. Sure if you want join a core product team, be the on-call engineer at 3 a.m constantly chasing Jira tickets for that extra pay or promotion-go ahead that path's always open. You do you.

Get a job doing real work in the real world. Living online is not good for you

You can substitute it with anything you want to do. Watch movies, all day, play video games all day anything

True. Becoming a gardener or something of that style is an actual useful job. Working in corporate is not it, unless you really support the company. Think about it, people are working for someone and something they don't even support, so they can afford a basic living. Is this not slavery?

Especially when you’re working online and not even engaging with people. My job is just handling post, not something I particularly care about, but it’s a job that needs doing, it’s chill, and we’re around people, not sat in a cubicle

Smart way to put it but I’m already late for that shit since I’m studying law.

I work in services, foreign trade, and collaborate with customs at the border to ensure that our product documentation is correct (many team calls, Excel archiving, PDF documents, Outlook mails, and SAP information)

We work two days a week at the office, and the rest from home

We have the same workload as you. Three to four hours in the morning, maybe one to two hours at the end of the day, and the rest of the time you can do whatever you want

At home, obviously, everyone does what they want with their free time, and at the office we interact during cigarette breaks and in the cafeteria, but otherwise people put their headphones on and listen to a podcast or music, and read some news, but nothing more (to be fair, the average age is higher, people are much more "normies," they don't play games/don't know about Reddit, etc.).

it's all bliss until u gotta share ur screen for a meeting and ur colleagues see ur 10TB 4chan coomer folder
