i'm not a CEO
<@549393998788296736> I am the same way. I am feeling myself lose interest in "climbing the ladder" and all the daily minutia (other than technical challenges). I just want to build stuff and solve problems. After work, I workout and socialize.
Yeah but still. What would you make that would sustain your work schedule?
@secrite sure there isnt. but do it for you. not for society's approval.
@JDB I suggest: $500/mo rent + $200/mo food + $25 phone/gym/fun. You can learn all else for free.
i know - ideally i'd spend more, but for my current situation i jsut want to live on the basics so i can support myself easily
if you really want to work alot cause you want to do it sure. but theres no reason to work more than you have to to support your lifestyle and build a relatively stable future
for food - i was planning on cooking in bulk and freezing
@shadowlessnexus True.
travel is cheap, i live near a big city so it's like £8.00 a day
not bad - i earn £2000 a month at my curreny job
i can move out now if i want to - but i was going to take a risk and earn a reduced pay to work on a cool project
I personally spend: $600 rent + $200 food + $150 transport + $25 misc (gym/hookers/blow). It's below poverty in the US.
i was going to rent a room in a house, what do you think about this?
If you can go to school for no debt or very cheap - do it. If you feel you don't need to and can start work sooner - skip school.
Yes!
I lived in a 3BR house with 4 people for 4 years.
3BR, 4 people is spacious
i work as a DBA currently, but i don't work with other programmers so they don't appreciate workload/ my own capabilities (i'm junior) - so it's not a bad role but i want to move to a role where i can learn
gotya
i can rent my own flat for £1100 a month - tho money would be tight then
@JDB If you're already working as a DBA - don't attend school. Use this role to start pivoting into development or whatever you want. Learn the skills you need to fix problems at that job and start showing it off.
"Oh Jim, you need a script to automate that?" I got you.
FUCK NO
Don't rent your own spot for 1100/mo
lmao, aite i wont
Bite the bullet and get a roommate or two.
UNLESS you REALLY hate people...
1100 is insane on 2k/mo income
ye
You need to make at least 3k/mo or more for 1100/mo rent.
A rule of thumb is indeed to spend max 1/3rd of your income on rent
gotya
i can afford more food too that way
You want a nice place though because you will be studying a lot OR a shitty place but only sleep there basically and study at public places. It's a personality thing.
I workout and love food so I spend $200/mo but I don't eat out/prepared meals or drink. I get groceries and I never need BS.
would there be a lot of startups that would hire someone without a CS degree?
