    Getting paid 130k+ a year is a pretty good life for writing emails.

      Its essentially a trade of your soul for writing emails.

        Meh. I work 35 actual hours in front of a keyboard. I have my days but I’m happy and mostly fulfilled.

          I do the same… and i guess i am burnt out by lack of interesting and consistent work to do.

          aspects of my job I absolutely hate:

          1. Maintaining a DLL( or shared object) in a large piece of software where my team’s scope is so narrow that we are just a conduit between two other processes. bugs get introduced by behavioral changes from upstream or downstream.

          2. No real exiciting problem to solve.

          I learnt Compiler design, Complexity theory, Concurrency, Algorithms, etc in college. But I look at bad code that does if (boolvar) return 1; else return 0;

          1. Constantly get shuffled around on tasks by my manager who goes into panic mode if his supervisor asks about something.
