“Even though i’m paid in coffee i’m better off now”

​@@Paladin327 "Even if the walking fish makes me work in his warehouse when packing merch, I'm still doing better!"

Impressive but, from what my friends who were lead engineers themselves, it wasn't an enviable position lol.

from my experience in the industry I'd say it's not a place you want to be in for long. It's stressful as hell because it's a catch all position and you're very likely going to hurt your own progress in the industry if you end up staying in that position for too long. It's less of actual work more of dealing with meetings, project management, "teaching people", you're literally a manager at that point not "Tech" anymore

Being lead engineer is like the definition of "everything is your fault".

theyre engineers who have lead-induced brain damage

You're literally just a tard wrangler at that point, you're not actually doing what you spent years of your life studying, and if anything happens you're at fault for not being a omniscient mind-reader.

Well the cockroaches explain the sadness

An honest job and a respectable one. Hard physical labor and keeping people fed is something some people should experience.

Rice is one of the more heavily consumed staple carbs. No stable place to be in than that. Respectable.

⁠@@riskvideosnah, that’s unstable bc you are competing with near billions of people all farming the same crop. Still honest but let’s not pretend it’s secure when your livelihood relies on the weather

@@badart3204 fair

Tech is one of the most fucked industries if you're doing all that coding and stuff. You're very replaceable and you'll be dealing with some insane loads. Be in a job that can't be automated and you're good (as in not easily replaced, not as in "it's easy")

@@KryoNaut you got it very wrong. The right answer is "be in a job that decides who's being replaced". It doesn't really matter how hard to replace your job is, usually hard to replace means higher salary, which means higher incentive to replace with cheaper alternative. But if you are deciding who's gonna be replaced? No matter how beneficial to company *your* replacement will be - you won't do it, lmao.

@@Blackwing2345635 "be who decides who is being replaced" that's not a thing that exists unless you're the actual owner, on the board of directors or investors. You're not irreplaceable, you're harder to replace or there's consequences to replacing you but if you're at a position where you decide to change who is being replaced you probably have stopped caring I know from experience

​@@KryoNautsoooo, sysadmins and opsec? if company leaders actually decide to replace those two positions with ai, we're doomed and they're doomed

@@KryoNaut It absolutely is a thing that exists and I know from experience. It's called HR. Only problem is you have to deal with basically the most hateful conniving disgusting human beings on the planet as your direct coworkers. Almost every single one is a truly worthless human being with a facade of being a caring, forward thinking person. Fortunately, if you're at all clever, you can destroy their careers fairly easily and keep yourself employed. 8 years and 13 of them gone but I'm still standing.

All of them

Doesn't matter if you're underpaid with those skills that's on you.

​@@ForumBlackwolfdave I take it that you're a lead engineer working on vehicle automation and can speak from firsthand experience as an authority on the topic?

@@ForumBlackwolfdave always the biggest mouths on people who have never dealt with real life shit.

I'm surprised she was underpaid in a lead engineer position. Don't they make the big bucks?

If you going to STEM you between a furry or a weeb. So its not surprising why there a lot of STEM people who become vtuber.

Because a lot of STEM has been offshored. Leaves just academia or government.

Can vouch have my bachelors in biology and I’m trying to be a vtuber too.

Stem girls are generally a bit menhera (I dated one and knew more). Stem people are more likely to be into media hobbies such as cartoons and anime (I suffered through a lot of Disney). A lot of engineers do it for the money and don’t really enjoy it so are more inclined to leave for other things once they have finances sorted.

Both engineering and vtubing requires a solide dose of tism

Don't forget Vape Nation Queen

Great news, she actually did exactly that with her decoden crafting business she used to run before vtubing! She did a handcam stream and explained how she didn't miss those fumes at all lol Jelly, a genmate was even a huge fan of Shiina's deco work before they even met, and now they have met again while being in the same company, it's a crazy coincidence.

@@GriffonTakudang! Multiple stats aligned for that one huh, that’s so cool!

Good one

Yeah and that stupid culture of basically forced promotion leads to the Peter Principle. It's out right stupid...

The worst part for me is the jobs hopping.its so backwards. Why do companies offer higher pay for new hires and under pay their experiences employees? It doesn't make any sense. All that time and effort wasted teaching a new hire just for them to leave after a year or two.

Well the West killed merit so no wonder it's so screwed up

Becoming an Anime girl sounds like a good option

This is the real big brain move.

Coffee weed 😂

Only Crab Content

that's Dizzy's job tho, isn't it? Or Urara's

Oh it will be a dumpster fire! Fishman please, we need to see this!

I think that Shiina and Jelly can program something functional

cuz girlboss hot

Cause tech companies crave higher ESG scores but can't escape the fact that all the best engineers are still men. So women get jammed into all the non-technical and lightly-technical roles.

Glad you liked it!

I wish lmao.

Welcome to the last 80 years

She said she was working with LiDAR, so it’s not Tesla lmao

from what I understood, she WAS
