So the reason so many Chinese are doing software engineering: is it because of the high paying nature or it’s because they like that type of work more? I’m the only asian guy on my project & I can’t stop wondering.

Aside from parents always wanting the best for their kids (high paying jobs being a way of perceived success) I always felt that many first gen asian american kids were unconsciously steered towards quant fields because of language/cultural barriers if their parents weren't fluent in English. Like my parents could help me in math because the subject is basically universal but couldn't help at all with grammar or history. Then when deciding what to study you usually go for what you're best at/ what's easiest for you.

Aside from A1’s preach to the choir up there ☝️, I personally chose to be a software engineer because I absolutely despise public speaking and do not like interacting with people. Software is a job to just work in your own bubble and is a decently easy job.

High paying and also Asians are good at math (I know it’s a stereotype but on average Asians are better at math...)

I like money. Every job if been steered to involved making $$ so I can have a happier more stable and less back breaking work than my parents. I’m happy they pushed me and I will make sure my kids are pushed to succeed.

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
