Learn to sell
The life of an engineer is a life if sacrifice and 7 days a week work for five days pay. Often you never have a partner so you&#x27;re the most highly taxed people in the country especially in California. While you often work triple time you&#x27;re rarely if ever paid for overtime it&#x27;s taken for granted that you&#x27;re not ever compensated for 3&#x2F;4 of the hours you work. Nothing can happen without you but sales people get a piece if the business they get normal business hours and can have a life and a family don&#x27;t learn to code learn to sell this is terrific advice. At least you get commission  and not worthless options in exchange for living off half the sleep a normal worker gets and continuous change and upheaval so you never get to have a life outside of work. Also continual layoffs and churn and then extra taxation when you are unemployed all told the life of an engineer is like the life of the slaves who row the cars on the Viking ship lol.
