Should I start looking for a new job? I'm currently working with an awesome team, but the work itself feels meaningless to me. Is that enough of a reason to leave, or am I being naive in thinking I'll find both a good team and work I actually care about?

You need to understand if meaningful work to you exists out there. Finding an awesome team can be like a needle in a haystack. But it can only go so far when you aren’t going to be engaged with the work at all.

You should always be looking for the next job regardless of the current one. Maybe if it is the family business you can afford to miss an opportunity, but short of that you should be ready to jump.

I wouldn’t. If you like that people you work with that’s got a lot more value to me. Imagine the inverse. See if there are ways to connect to the meaning and impact instead

Have you got some advice? Is it possible to work for US remotely without visa? What other countries pay well? Is it possible to land a 100k$+ with this kind of experience and working from Italy?

I am trying to figure out how to switch to SWE. I have a masters in civil engineering and have a good background in higher level math. It looks like the better coding boot camps are quite expensive. The alternative is another masters in CS which is the same cost as many boot camps. Any recommendations on picking between a coding boot camp and getting another masters degree in CS? I’m looking to get into the best position possible after getting an education in CS (get a job quick and good pay).

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance! I am currently in an IT internship position (making pretty solid money considering) and following this summer I will stay on part time during my senior year (discussing a full-time job offer after already). I’m getting my computer science degree, so I would like to do something more technical in the workplace when I graduate. How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
