Some years ago I was looking for a change, I was burnt out/tired of my job at that moment and I started looking for new opportunities. At some point, a HR agency contacted me for a role with a startup and it seemed a match for my skills/what they were looking for. It was a 10-20 people company. I passed all the technical challenged and I got to talk with the CEO.

I remember he asked me if I was married and/or if I had kids. According to him, they needed people who are "committed" with the company and people without responsibilities are more likely to leave the company if they don't like it there.

This question caught me off guard and I just answered. By that time I was young and single, but I somehow managed to defend that I was committed and so on... Later, when the interview finished I noticed I should have stopped the process immediately, I wasn't desperate or anything like that I don't know why I continued. I guess they needed people who have no choice but to keep working due to the shit show the company was and I decided to ignore the offer. They tried to call me twice but I didn't answered. I bet I dodged a bullet.

I recently bought a pair of Sony MDR-1000x and they really work well.

Some people say QC35 are a little bit better some say MDR-100x are better. I can only talk about the seconds and I highly recommend them.

In addition, they have some cool touchable control on the right side. I didn't like it at the beginning but now when I use other headphones I find myself trying to touch them to pass the song or lower the volume..

Amazon Prime, Netflix, Spotify, PSN

AKG K845bt. These are my first bt headphones and I can tell you that they make a difference. I was skeptical about bt headphones but the freedom you get with them will change your mind.

About sound quality there is no doubts about AKG, in my opinion one of the best brands out there.

In reference to the price.. yes they are expensive compared to other headphones but for someone who uses them more than 5h a day.. I think they pay off

Money involved? assembly lol

Well not to much to elaborate. The top industry there is tourism, there is not much work in IT industry.

Working remotely seems the only option I guess

These two are nice places indeed. But salaries there are so low and in Cordoba there are not many IT jobs so unless you are going to work remotely I wouldn't go there.

+1 Sadly there is not much development there :(

Exactly, but usually I don't tell people I am a software developer but a software engineer and they immediately know I am good at math

Well it depends, some people think of software developers as self taught people who make websites and phone applications. In that way, this is kind of true.

On the other hand, most of people working in the software industry hold a degree in computer science or software engineering from a university and do much more stuff than just coding webapps, at least in my country.

Mine too! Moleskine classic hardcover for me

You are right. Maybe it's too focused for people from US.

They both have pros and cons but in the end, I think for me, a master degree is more interesting:

- More content and subjects (Usually takes 1-2 years) and usually more theoretical contents - Official title - Options to continue with a doctoral degree

In favor of the nanodegree:

- Taught by influential people in the field - Industry-oriented - Hiring partners (?)

I have been thinking and if I was going to take a nanodegree, the only one I would go for is the self driving car ND. Why? Because It's something different, something you can't easily find at the university. I see it like a bootcamp, so maybe if you have a AI background you can learn more about this particular field and hopefully land a job related to this technology

I have same doubt about this course. I got selected for the AI nanodegree and it's really a big investment for me. In my country a masters price starts from 1500 Euro, so I am not sure I will join

Maybe some projects and/or relevant experience in the field

Well an alternative is to have an online portfolio site where you can keep screenshots, examples or even gifs showing your the features of these sites. Also, you should keep the code in case you want to show it as well

From 2-3h What really drains my energy are those meetings that don't led me to anything useful. Other than that it's necessary to meet up

As other said here, Python seems like the good choice; Plus it's a "real programming language". I mean, you can use it for more stuff: web programming, web scrapping, etc. There are a lot of libraries, even for game development.

If you can learn more than one I would recommend learning R as well, rather than other technologies such as octave or matlab..

I am in the same situation and wondering same question. I believe that I still have a lot to learn, and it's difficult to do it while working remotely. So for now, I prefer to go to office but in the future I would love to work remotely from a place I love and whenever I want :)

I think that's not your problem, but your manager's. They should discourage that kind of behavior at work. Also, you can talk about it with other team member, I am sure there will be more people who think the same.

Hi there! I would love to have someone to give me some career advice. I have been working for less than 2 years and still don't know what I would like to do in the future.
