I was stuck with a lot of the shittiest programming jobs in my place for almost 5 years. 2 months back I got a job offer from a massive ass software company I applied to at the beginning of the summer. I never could have imagined a company would care for me enough to pay for my relocation over 6.5k km away from my town and offer me a job with the salary almost 3 fucking times as much as I used to have.
It was a nightmare of a relocation: selling everything I have including my car, apartment, all the tech stuff I've accumulated over many years in less than 2 weeks. But now I'm here, finally able to play TF2 with ping less than 120 and never having a spare hour to play it.
Can't say that it was just TF2 that has gotten me into web development, but I can for sure say that I have learned a shitload of things working on various hobby projects for this videogame. Thank u videogame, those 8 years aren't wasted for nothing.

^^^ making me feel weird about my interviews for my first full-stack position this week.
But that's what I'm looking to do. Was a supervisor for a logistics company doing pretty well for myself up until the start of August but I joined a coding school that has a really good success rate. I'm two weeks from finishing that out, but have got about 9 interviews this week. Wish me luck!

my job as an international sales manager allows me to make on average 3 times my city's median pay while at the same time leaving me without any social life, hobbies or free time in general

SpadesBeen doing unarmed guard work for a year and a half, but recently got hired as a teller at my local credit union. They're awesome to bank with and work with; still training but it's likely I get bumped to full time hours once I pass my teller exam soon :)
Just passed my teller test today and got my full time schedule for November B)

Being in the navy kind of sucks
There are a lot of benefits once I get out but for now I’m not exactly thrilled with the control it has on my life

Software Engineer, took a break from work to finish ny last semester of school just so I could get the piece of paper in december that you don't even really need in this field nowadays. Otherwise I work under short contracts--it's really cool because I'm passionate about software in general and love the processes involved with the entire thing, I get to travel a lot to new places with these contracts and I get to meet some really cool people and companies. I even worked under contract for a company that works with nuclear stuff. Was pretty cool to be a part of the largest nuclear facility in the world (by net output)! Pay is also really nice, but even if it were average I'd still love it. Being softeng means you dont just code monkey for massive hours at a time, so my eyes are pretty happy for not staring at a computer screen that long.
Lots to dislike though. Moving all the time is stressful (makes wanting a pet a lot harder), I got a dud or two (and I'm young so I'm sure there is more to come), and adapting to new technologies and business schemes can be both fun and challenging. I also realized something over my experiences--no matter what job, no matter who, no matter where, there will always be a ton of people who are so dramatic in the work place that experiencing drama is inevitable. But that's just people in general, it was a lot more obvious when I've hovered between a bunch of different workplaces
