This happened to me last month. I had to play it off like "hmm, I had access last week, maybe someone changed my permissions
"

Yep. I did this twice last year. I went on a road trip and I took off on the day that I traveled (for an undisclosed reason
) and then I went back to work when I got there I was saving my PTO for something else and I didn't want to spend it on those trips.

I hope you get them, breh.
I want to leave my job so bad but I'm afraid to get back out in this job market. I'll wait until they fire me. Judging by what's happening in the industry, I'm sure it will be soon
I'll probably be happy when it comes I want to go back to being a purely frontend engineer. I had to learn backend stuff on the job. And it's cool, don't get me wrong... but I'm not getting paid enough to do both.
I want to either get a pure frontend position (if that's even still a thing) or get better pay for being a fullstack engineer.

I learned how to program in my bedroom and I knew about some of that within 2 months or less. I was working with libraries probably a month in. It took me a little longer to get to frameworks and I didn't conceptually understand API for the first 8 months or maybe longer. I can't imagine going to school and not knowing this stuff. Wow.

Why not just start looking now while you got a gig?

I didn't know what an API was either when I graduated. They don't teach you that stuff in school. A CS degree is to learn about theoretical concepts like algorithms.

There's hella high-paying data jobs in the market right now. If anyone is interested in getting into the data world let me know and I'll drop some info in here...
I see so many network eng roles on indeed

What do you consider high paying?
Needs to be more hands on. I went to a “hands on” school despite getting accepted by better schools. I was able to get a job in the summers which translated to 1 day a week and so I was able to hit the ground running when I started my career.
Theory is cool up to a point. Also pick a school with a good internship program.
Companies don’t want to train…schools just care about money. Students have to grind more than ever.

$130k base salary and above (can balloon up to base $180k-$200k+ if you're actually raw with your skills)

That's because school can't keep up with how fast the industry changes. The best developers are generally the self-starter/self-taught folks.
