Question

 

Perks of working from home. I have been saying my spending was a lot ever since I work on site. Although not  entirely work from home, that’s the difference. Imagine I have been spending so much before that. 

If someone offer you a job, about 2.5 times your current salary but your current boss is nice, will you move? It was the greatest pull factor. I wonder maybe that’s why people keep on leaving. The pull factor is really large… JD wise not so sure if it will be intensive. They will be using a different technology and developing different things so you will not be in your comfort zone. But then with the same amount of time and the pay is 2.5 times more and you still get to enjoy coding… why no right? I just worry the boss sucks. I cannot tell if I will fit in. I haven’t touch Golang, Node.js and React.js for the past one plus year. Worst still, I haven’t touch Postgres even longer. Somemore, Postgres normally I queries through command line. I will have to fish out all my notes… MSSQL at least mostly can click through which is quite user friendly. Maybe there is some manager out there for Postgres. The JD was interesting though. If I get a hands-on to start from scratch, I guess I really want the job… The thing is I wonder what is the culture there like. Is it the got coffee tea break or birthday leave or a coding activity session or  was it too outgoing atmosphere which I will immediately felt introverted… I’ll never forget that interview which was like 3-4 years back. I was dumb founded by how much he talks about the weather, the place to visit and things the group enjoy. I was speechless. Maybe I should introduce Chicken Rice but I am not really sure if that’s appropriate for a foreigner. He wasn’t even here but was outstation. I guess sometimes, my personality was a bit odd that really good opportunity runs away and I kept on picking tough job… What can I do to change that? If only… I really want to do new stuff… It’ll be a permanent position! Actually, if I didn’t get it, I will just do a startup. I am doing mobile application since most of my program I did for mobile phones. Find other introvert to join. I don’t expect it to make money the first few months but at least I started it. After testing water, then still need to check if it does earn more than a 9-5 (more like 9-12) job. If it does, why not right?

For now, I think doing this app is just as good but I didn’t really like how it has to be done anyway. I usually felt it is more like a war than coding. The only good thing is I don’t need to join meeting. I know nothing from what they talk during meeting. Sigh. So far the only thing that is working without having much thought while I made the app was the email. The rest was kinda blood sucking tool. My blood level almost KO. If this is a hobby, I probably enjoyed exploring them. It wasn’t! Wake up call…
