Welcome to your 30s! You're far from being old! The fun part of your life is just beginning.

7Raiden8786yIt's probably because I'm doing my dream job in a city that I 100% dislike.
I basically ended up living for my job, which is not stressful as I *really* enjoy my job, but I rarely do something not work related!
So, for me, 18-25 best almost-decade. -
@7Raiden that makes me curious about two things. Where you live and what you do.

His profile says London, which is one of the greatest cities in the world, but only if you can afford it. I'm guessing the cost of living figures into his assessment. -
7Raiden8786y@PoliteRanter69 I'm a quant Dev, in London. The thing is, London is great ok? But it's got too many people, and commute it's at least 1.30-2h per day! And it's always cold and grey, which for me makes 80% of my day!

7Raiden8786y@bahua exactly! I guess my morale depends too much on people! Besides, I *hate* British people, their accent especially 😂

Are you interested in a move abroad? There are lots of sunny places with companies that need talented developers. -
7Raiden8786y@bahua it's on my plans, I have some cards I think I can play, though realistically with a low success rate I think, but I'd still have to try. If that doesn't work I'll look at some jobs in the US. Friends of mine live in Houston, TX, that's probably a starting point. I don't know what's the firms' policy there though, as in, do they not favour local resources? I'd need a VISA, which complicates things!
In Europe the only acceptable place for me is Spain, but they don't offer many opportunities in my field. Alternatively I'll try to go back where I'm from (Italy) and see if I find some trade off.
Last resort: go into Javascript Dev and look for a remote job!
Thanks for asking :)
Once again, the earth has accomplished the 30th full round since I was born.
