I've heard quite a few anecdotal reports of FFQ being slow on certain websites. I've had no such issues, and in fact really like Quantum. I've used FF for a long, long time. I may be biased.

Edit: Had no slow-downs or hang ups on any of the mentioned sites (including the whatsapp linked below)

This x1000. Before you plan the next 10 years of your life in a certain direction, spend some time ensuring thats actually the direction you want to take.

Edit: Will also add, for entry-level success in the corporate world, learn to do what your told, without hesitance or question.

Very broad and vague question I am having trouble beginning to answer.

1) Are you assuming all price increases are due to being "aggressive"?

2) What industries are you talking? Purely tech?

3) What groups / age range / etc. are you assuming that employees are less aggressive in terms of income?

4) Do you consider income only monetary? What about reduced hours, increased vacation time, more flexibility, etc? How do these fall on the spectrum?

I would say this question in its current state is impossible to answer, too vague.

Always a solid cop-out for allowing bad things to continue

My personal opinion backed by absolutely 0 scientific evidence would be to provide warm lighting with individual (desk based) dimmer switches - allowing the individual to adjust light levels to their own optimum comfort level. The closer the light mimics natural light, the better.

It's hard to make any recommendations without a bit more information.

1) Where do you find your view of the phone interview going from optimistic to feeling it's gone awry?

2) Are the positions you are applying for well within your skillset, related to last positions? Are they a level above or below your past experience? Lateral?

3) How much research do you put into your interviews?

4) Do you have a set of questions prepared for the interviewer? I have found (both interviewing, and being interviewed) that a single unique and well thought question can be a game changer in the interview process and can lead to better conversation with the interviewer.

5) Do you practice interviews / questions with yourself or a friend?

I also would suggest really putting yourself in the interviewers shoes, for each position. What do you think they are looking for? If you were interviewing, how would you want certain questions answered?

Or I read the question, and mistakenly assumed DiskCryptor worked with Linux without confirming.

Oops.

I personally use DiskCryptor, but I am not super up-to-date on the best programs for encryption/decryption.

DiskCryptor does the job for me. Easy to use, open source.

I understand where your coming from and I'm sure theres a happy medium. Doing just money or just enjoyment wont work as well as a proper balance.

But, to play devils advocate... Having worked in a high paying, crap job and moving into a job with lower pay but much more aligned with my passion I am MUCH happier

What is questionable, imo, is this worldview which you and another have mentioned.

What a sad way to live, fulfilling other peoples needs in exchange for 0's, instead of trying to fulfil your needs for intellectual growth, joy, etc. while _also_ supplying an end product or service of some sort.

You realize you can enjoy what you do, love what you do even, and still exchange a product/service for money? In fact, you'll likely do better as people will sense your _passion_ about what you are selling, as opposed to seeing you chase the 0's

I feel really sorry for you and your friends who spend your lives doing what you don't enjoy for the sake of some 0's on your bank account. Also, I'm not saying go pick flowers for a living. But you should at least enjoy what you do, which fosters continual growth (to become an expert, you must grow).

If you ever want to truly be held as an expert, you should be doing what you _enjoy_ most. Not for money, not for job security. Purely enjoyment.

The rest will follow.
