@wiwe2210 How do you find it? Is it a means to an end or..?
-
@nate, I like how it is different from IT stuff especially regarding the people you meet. IT people are not the most social people in the word and there is definitely a massive difference between the people I meet at my bartending work as oppose to at my CS classes which is very nice
-
@nate, also great for meeting females, Since there are no females in the classes I take.
It would be great to see more women in IT. -
@Hu-bot0x58 @wiwe2210 I'm gay, and actually I know quite a few gay people who code in different companies in London. I totally agree with you about the social side though! And I've been offered a job in a gay club 😂. Tbh it sounds like being paid to have fun?!
-
@Brolls Not exactly 😂 but probably best to pretend it is!
-
@nate XXL? ;p

@Brolls 👀 a couple more guesses and you'd probably get it 😂
Have any devs done bar work before..?
I've always enjoyed doing things outside of work, and I work 3-4 days a week in my main job to create time for this. It's great for my mental health, and means I can optimise the main job for pay/good benefits and fulfil my "other needs" (stimulation/challenge/enjoyment) in other places.
The main things for me are dev contracting on the side or acting/singing, to a lesser extent travel, a bit of activism and law study. Just because 🤷♂️
Especially re: my last rant with *that* email from HR on Friday, I'm tempted to be a bit more strict about only doing three days and picking up something else.
Although I know the pay is awful, I really want to try bar work on the side just to do something different.
Has anyone else done bar work before?
