While filling my CV i noticed that in 4 years i never got a raise due my performance... even though for 4 years ive been performing way better than all my coworkers, just that i dont invest on my personal marketing.

Thats a reason im commited in the near future giving up being employed and working on my own. Im feed up of having an idiot as a boss, not being recognized despite my work being flawless.

I would offer this as a suggestion: spend the next however long working on your personal marketing skills in your current role, to try and boost your salary in-place. Because, the thing is, if you're gonna go on your own, you will definitely need some stellar personal marketing (to start, at least). Might as well train those muscles in a lower stakes environment first.

Yeah, im aware this, thats why im sure once i start something on my own, i gonna need to find someone that complement me in what im lacking.

My plan is working solely on technical aspects and having a partner dealing with personal side like finding costumers, talking to them.

But thats a very long term goal. My mid term goal is to study more, hopefully in other country. My dream is to do some masters degree in europe. 2021 gonna study a new language, hopefully german, then lets see where i will end in the future...

It also helps if you build up a customer base beforehand.

Many people who go freelance end up failing because they never setup a customer base and assumed that they will come to them.

Real talk; Why in the unholy *** are people buying ridge wallets. It's two pieces of 10 cent metal for SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS. And they have the outright nerve to call it a "minimalist" wallet. *** please. That is not how "minimalist" works.

Come the crackhead hell on.

I only bring it up cause they're sponsoring like every youtuber I watch and it's dumb as hell.

Sure. The life time shoes vs yearly shoes blahblahblah. Doesn't hold water with a wallet. Had the same $3 wallet for 20 years lol.

This to me raises the greatest question one can ask among men:

Tri-fold, Bi-fold, or clip? (because those are the ONLY respectable options)

I guess it also raises the question among traditionalists among us- which back pocket? Because nothing in this world is more uncomfortable than driving with your wallet in the wrong back pocket.

I swear my left buttcheek has developed a dent to allow room for my wallet after 25 years of it sitting there.

Happy Hanukkah!

This is 9 candles, isn't it supposed to be 12?
Its 8 days, so each day you add one more candle.

The 9th one, on the dino's head in this iteration, is the servant candle used to light the others. We have this thing about transferring flames rather than lighting new ones. It has to do with our definition of work and our sabbath. Hanukkah is the only other place where this shows up in my experience. I have never been orthodox though, I bet any orthodox Jew knows other examples.

Makin me read Korean news.

Quote:
On the 9th, a Nexon official said, "It was confirmed that the development of 'Final Fantasy 11 Mobile' was suspended"

So chalk another "oops" up on the board, how much money got wasted on that, could've been used on the thing people actually want, the OG

I mean if we're talking SE dollars, pretty minimal. They probably had some people in meetings now and then, but this is Nexon's loss, not theirs.

It's not really all that shocking either, but at least they finally admitted it. This thing was never going to see the light of day and I'm still a little amazed that so many people were convinced otherwise.

Fully expected it to come out and simply be bad. Playerbase might've tried it for shiggles but it would've flopped harder than XIV 1.0

Why would they leave free money on the table and not make (any) game if they expected it to make a profit

I think it was wishful thinking more than convinced.

I mean, this is a 20 year old game, I think we all who played this and like it wants it to continue, even if it's a shell of it's past glory.

It was a nice concept.
