Having a job sucks. Not having a job, and constantly being ignored or rejected does a number on my mental health too.
A company I applied for gave me a take home assignment, I said that I would only do it if they pay me. They said they would pay me. The project took me about 2.5 months. Now they have rejected me saying it is not good enough, didn’t pay me for the work I have done. It has been an all-around hell week for me. I hate being taken advantage of like that. Fuck whatever enables people or companies like this.
The company is called GeoStru, which is their Sales and Marketing. The offshoot of that, that is responsible for development is called Engsoft SRL. It is located in Romania.
Having a job is fine. Having something that gives you purpose is actually healthy for you. But I guess it depends what you do and you need to work for someone nice. It is the mandatory part and the “squeezing every penny out of you” part that sucks most.
Also, switching jobs when it gets tedious might be a good plan. Make sure to stick around for a couple years though, or else they’ll see on your CV that you won’t stick around long enough to be worth the effort.

Bro, which company expected you to do a take home assignment that took 2.5 months? Name and shame the fuckers.

Having a job sucks.
Not having a job wouldn’t suck if it wasn’t for the fact it usually means you also have no money.
Having no money sucks.
It would be cool beans to not have a job, but have money.
