I am technically a mathematician. I worked in HPC developing computational software and hyper optimizing stuff (C/C++/x86 assembly) for 3 years. I worked as a backend software engineer for a year, as a computational scientist for another year (more computational software stuff), as a consultant to the CTO of a 1billion+ company on blockchain stuff and recently launched my own blockchain funded by Coinbase. In the market for a project or interesting job. Where should I apply? What should I do?

Seems like you have some great experience. Really depends what your goals are, if it's to make the most money, finance companies are your best bet. If you wanted a little less buttoned down environment, a fintech may be a good fit. Really up to you though.

You seem to have valuable experience that could be used in financial firms (banks, hedge funds and trading firms). Tried to apply there yet ?

Obviously depends on your location, but if in US would suggest the big Quant firms: Citadel securities, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Prop Trading firms etc. Good money but hard work !

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving.

Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?
