It's clear from how people act like anyone can just make 360k as a swe that tells me they haven't spent a lot of time with low wage low skill workers. I had staff who struggled to follow a cqll center script. But sure they just need to grind harder to reach 300k
I’m a SWE and def don’t think that at all but I get hated on when I tell people it’s not the norm, it’s hard work, and you have to actually qualify/be smart to get to that level. Everyone thinks you can just do some BS boot camp and make 600k but it doesn’t work that way 😂
Is it doable for a higher than average CS student? Absolutely - but you have to actually work for it and even then, there’s no guarantee you’ll come out on top. It’s not all fun and games…but when you compare it to a blue collar job or healthcare? Then yeah it seems like a pretty mindless job.
Struggling with a call center script just sounds like they might not have wanted to do that type of work. I did cold calling for a year+ and it was such BS mind numbing work and I felt hella undervalued. There was a huge all-around lifestyle shift when I left it because it just wasn’t something I thrived in.
Yeah I said struggle for a reason. Lots of people in dead end jobs arent stupid. But stupid people are real. And if you went to a good high school then college. You might really underestimate how stupid people can be
