I spent years there, hoping to transition into a development role internally. 2023: Realized I needed to make a change and landed my first programming job, even though it meant a temporary pay cut to €1.1k/month. 2023: After 6 months and significant contributions, my request for a promotion was met with resistance. This was a turning point. 2024 winter: I accepted offers from two companies, working both jobs simultaneously and earning a combined €7.3k/month. 2024 autumn: Left one of the companies due to micromanagement and a lack of trust, while thriving at the second company. 2025: Faked 3 more years of experience. Landed a senior engineer position with a salary of €4.3k/month after taxes. Started this channel.
