I recently became a solution architect after pursuing this goal for quite a number of years. I love what I do, perform well, have good work-life balance, solve cutting edge technical problems, the pay is great. Wife, kids. Healthy and fit. So, enjoy your nice life, right? The problem: am Ukrainian. It currently looks like I can get mobilized soon and go to war. If that happens, chances are that what awaits is not dom…
My biggest problem is that I've probably got ~15,000 days of life remaining. There are only a few ways I might get lucky: - somebody uploads my mind into a computer - somebody cures aging - somebody cures sleep (extra 30% of each day would be nice) - I decide that ~15,000 days is good enough
Realise that you will never experience being dead. The same way that you didn’t experience anything before being born. So there is nothing to fear. Appreciate that you are one in billions of unborn people that get to experience life! So enjoy it and don’t waste time worrying about things you can’t change anyway.
Jobless. The dreadful feeling of being unable to positively contribute to something.
I landed two of my more interesting programming roles via jobs that started as something "other than" (for the change) and found myself migrating into industry specific problem solving internally as I had the knack (programming and higher math) and an inside track.
My biggest problem is that I dislike my job but it has potential to pay off big and allow me to retire (Or at least, semi-retire) in ~5 years off the stock options. Retiring at 45 seems pretty appealing. I could finally catch up on my massive library of games I've been wanting to play, not to mention reducing my alarm clock usage to likely 10 times a year, rather than 5 days a week.
I hope you’re not talking about a startup lottery

I hope you and your loved ones make it through this alive and healthy.
Communicating with any large company. Try to tell Google, Verizon, Microsoft, American Express, et cetera, that there's something wrong with their servers, or some security issue with their site, whatever, and you'll either not be talking with real humans (Google) or you'll be trying to explain email servers to first level phone support who think that if it works for some people, then the problem has to be elsewhere.…
I work as online support for the US' largest private company, being one of the main direct point of contact their business partners have with the company -- and I can 100% attest for this. On a daily basis, my team (which consists of 2 people only, on a good day) deals with hundreds of partners facing dozens of different issues. We are only trained to deal with maybe 3% of the issues we receive -- the rest, we must r…
