I just got a new job after a year and a half of unemployment. Am hapi.

I spent 2021-2022 programming for great salaries ($4000-6000 per month is a lot in Latin America and Europe) and then in October 2022 I got laid off due to a massive company downscale and I was left somewhat depressed. I found it very hard to even start looking for another job. However, courtesy of Nepotism™️, I got invited to some random managerial thing in Europe for €3500/mo and it’s not as amazing as the old one I had but it’s pretty awesome here, I don’t know any other programmer here that earns nearly as much. Solves all my problems at once except my mental health. 🎊

Congrats!

Burgerlurker,

Congrats! I had a similar thing happen to me (though after almost a year of unemployment i got a job with more pay 😀). It takes a while for the despression to subside after such a long time of feeling worthless. I recommend picking up a constructive hobby. By that I mean not videos games or books or films or whatever. A hobby where you can make something you’re proud of, woodworking, art, learn an instrument, something crafty y’know? If feels great to finish a project or perfect an new song, something that you can show to people and be proud of.

My hobby and profession are both programming hahah. I make a lot of bookmarklets, reddit bots and userscripts.
