What's the worst disappointment you had when you thought something was going to be great and how did you handle it? I think I might have just excited myself into a terrible, toxic job.

Experiencing it now with a new job. Just trying to apply to other positions while working my hardest at my current employer.

1) recognize and acknowledge the toxic environment and people (check!)

2) determine if there is a alternate internal group you can pivot to, if not then

3) have a goal in mind of something you want to accomplish at this job to put on your CV if you think you may not leave immediately. Use that as your guiding star to help you focus and ignore the other bullish!t you will put up with in the future

4) get out before it gets to you. Once you start to get bitter and angry it will be harder to find a new position and interview well. Just cite cultural fit, but be careful that you don’t make the same mistake with the next company.

Once planned 3 days to visit Athens. Anyone else that has visited Athens will understand.

Just killed time in the hotel.

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.
