Or does everyone just do their own thing? 3) Does the team ever get together to brainstorm ideas? Or are you basically just a worker bee?

    1) there is always a worry, but my stance is that if we were to have been banned in the states if would've been in 2020, at this point I believe it is far too late. A sale to a large U.S. company is more probable in my opinion. 2) we do collaborate often since we come into the office on similar days, I just didn't show this on this particular day. we do often have social events, like team events and gatherings, so I think our team moral is great. 3) we have team meetings regularly and people are encouraged to brainstorm ideas on their own and then present them to the team at large, we definitely collaborate often as a company/team and aren't just working on our tasks heads down. hope this was helpful, best of luck man ♥️

    I don't see the point for companies to have a hybrid work policy for people who go to the office like this and then not see anyone else that they work with because they're not there. Maybe there's a another benefit than you have a place to go outside your home for work. I just don't see anything else.

    Many people think being a software engineer is all peaches but the reality is that no matter what company you work for, you will put in extra hours, extra time if you want to get ahead. The amount of learning is unbelievable and it's always never enough. Because there will always be something else to learn, something new to implement. It truly is a grind and there is never an end in sight. Even a company with so called work/life culture still encourages learning always. It's great if you love to learn and don't want a repetitive job, it's tasking if learning a high volume of information in a short amount of time is too much for your brain to handle. However, eventually the constant learning does make you a pro and if you think about it, you get paid thousands of dollars just to learn. Can be a win/win situation for all parties involved if you think about it.

  • @armankhondker

    agreed, being a software engineer fundamentally is just about learning. If you can learn things quickly, then you will be an excellent software engineer. This is likely why we see the peak of developers while they are young and eager to learn, and less older folks in the industry as time progresses. I agree with your conclusion about it being a win/win for all parties, thats a great outlook to have.
