i strained some muscle around the bottom of my shoulderblade and have no idea how. maybe pullups, but i woke up with the pain rather than immediately feeling it after the workout

took a day and a half to get full ROM back in my arm, and still hurts a little

pretty pissed

Every CE chat has always turned into a simp colony for some ce girl. If that's what you want, go for it.

that's why the best of the 19 ce discords has a no girls allowed policy

I think you're wrong on that. In people aged 20-30s, I think most browse some sort of forum, whether it be reddit or some other website where they can post.

reddit hardly counts and every forum in 2021 is a shell of what it was 10-15 years ago.

browsing is normal, sure. but frequent posting on reddit or even twitter generally indicates something's off with a person to me.

i have an intense drive to argue online and i recognize that nobody well adjusted would be doing this

normal people dont post on forums lmao

What is it like working for a financial company as a software developer? Is it a hard job? What's the salary and work life balance

Are your coworkers good people to work with?

i have a role that basically sits between software and "traders" (which really just means sales and algo tweaks here and there) - it's not my title but googling "solutions engineer" is kind of what i do here.

business as usual means 9am-6pm for me. there are certainly a lot of "hell weeks" and for the last 2 weeks i've been doing 7am-9pm without more than like a half hour break and some weekend work as well. this retail boom contributed to some but not all of it.

my job in particular is mostly soft skills. you have lots of different kinds of people who basically need a translator to communicate with each other. sales to tech. external client tech to our sales... our tech to external traders, etc. think a fratbro trying to talk to someone who grew up in the slums of mumbai. this is such a dumb thing yet probably what i'm most useful for.

you have to be able to work under pressure of course - technology outages can be absolutely disastrous. there's been occasions where we've fucked up and took on 30 million of client positions because a server went out for 10 minutes

techwise i use python and our systems run on linux. i am not at all a real developer. the devs are mostly c++, we also do hardware stuff with verilog, FPGA and whatever.

a recent college grad can make like 90-120k base. i've gotten bonuses as big as 30k. you have the opportunity to make 300k or so if you're doing really nextgen stuff but that's not at all par for the course. this is certainly worse than real tech companies, and due to being in the financial industry we're a lot stiffer culture wise. i would never recommend working in this business over like, google unless you're interested in the markets, which i am.

my coworkers are generally pretty nice people, and it's pretty diverse (as far as fintech goes). but there are some exceptionally bad personalities in powerful positions which is maybe my least favorite thing.

Got any skin in the GME?

i have to hold anything i buy for 30 days as i can see non-public dark pool trades. memeing over a month is not something i have the risk tolerance to do.

It's bizarre to me how puritanical this board can be in so many ways yet a brazen piece of shit like that guy was able to post here & not get exiled or anything (not saying there weren't people who commented on it or anything but his sycophants definitely drowned them out).
