What's the comfiest job you've had user?

Backend dev for the "industry". Mostly writing C++ and python for big auto makers, airlines, and mining companies. Pretty comfy and laid back, not stress free however but we manage fine.

I have no place browsing Jow Forums considering I'm a tech primitive but I still find tech intriguing despite being tech ignorant. Anyways, that translates to various non-tech blue collar jobs.
>Restaurant, dishwasher, cook, then waitstaff
High stress, treated like shit from everyone, ok pay when tips are good I guess, was too autistic to realize when qts were into me, when I did notice, was too autistic to do anything about it because they're sluts anyway
>Delivery driver's bitch
Turn off brain, scan package, deliver package, repeat 600 times a day, not that bad except for shit pay
>Military
Love/hate, passive/aggressive, everyone is cool and douches at the same time, stay up for days, constantly exhausted, overtime without the overtime pay, responsible for other people's fuckups, sucks life out of soul, surrounded by other insane and explosive people, 1st and 15th = buy stupid shit days, learn how do as little as possible
>Mechanic
paid worse than shit, have to buy own tools on loan, covered in oil and grease everyday, get burns and cuts every other day, permanent hand grease, co-mechanics were cool as shit, managers and sales guys were absolute scumbags
>Cabbie
Meet dozens of people a day, almost get into a serious wreck on a weekly basis, drive the occasional dealer/hooker/gangbangers, inconsistent pay, all money made goes back into cab, some days are good, some days are bad, dreams of crashing, learn the streets and culture of city, that guy who tells his life story
>Bicycle Courier
Almost die on a daily basis, get fit AF but t-rex build (tiny arms, monster legs), qts flirt now that super fit but too tired to give a fuck, pay is decent, not a lot but enough to get by, better than all my other jobs at least, bike falling apart, always calorie deficient and starving, eating is becoming a chore, smell like sweaty swamp ass from sweating all day and everyday, everything needs to be IP rated water resistant, spend almost all hours outdoors from -20F to 100F

now after all that, I don't know which is the comfiest. I'd say maybe courier because it requires minimal interaction with people and I'm on my own thing. 2nd is delivery driver's bitch if you got a cool driver, if not then it sucks big time but I was rotated every year. I had one driver who would not stop talking to me about being a born again christian. Cabbie was comfy sometimes but other times was hell, completely passenger dependent.

Self-employed industrial technician.
>Be your own boss

>Work however you want
>Work as much or as little as you want

The downside is the anxiety of being responsible for other people's really, really expensive stuff working.

howd u get that job boi

Whatever floats your goat.

I really enjoyed the data science (tm) course I took in college. What do I do to make a job out of it?

put a few more buzzwords on your resume

What sort of portfolio is expected for a prospective entry level data scientist (tm) (r)?

My current job. I help our research scientists (most of them math geniuses) write and deploy algos. It's also based in one of the nicest cities in California. The only downside is our boss is PARANOID about confidentiality. We can't have a LinkedIn and we can't really tell people what we do which makes networking difficult.

How the fuck does someone Chad enough to get elected class prez end up in this shithole? Seriously, you have to be pretty popular to get elected anything since people have to know who you are.

>california
hard pass

I've had jobs and internships other people would consider "good" per se but I hate working altogether so none of them are comfy to me. I'm hoping I can find a job or career I actually like, otherwise I'll just kill myself since I don't want to be a slave for three more decades.

My current one, even if early in my career:
- come in anywhere from 9-10:30am, leave just before 5pm
- take 30m to 1.5hr lunch
- i like my work; like all jobs though there's good and bad times
- all the office politics is annoying and awful, but largely doesn't affect me
- I probably have the best manager I'll ever have my entire career, dude is great, looks out for us, actively campaigns for us, wants us to succeed and gives us info he probably shouldn't, understands the entire politics hooplah and hates it
- work is interesting, huge scale and impact of work, get to swap between development and operations type work
- touch a good chunk of relatively new tech, lots of interesting problems that not too many people get to encounter
- there's a good chunk of space wasters, so just showing up makes you look good by 100% already, doing actually decent work makes you look even better
- pay, profit sharing and benefits are good, should be getting pretty significant bumps in the next month that should give me at the least 20-30% increase
- like my team, still small, just now getting up to 4 people in total, finally getting to the point that we don't have to do KTLO work all the time

I've only ever had 2 jobs, one as a TA for the intro to C class at the university I went to, and my current one as a software engineer at a small company.

The comfier of the two was easily the TA job. It was only part time three 3-hour shifts a week, and all I had to do was help freshmen with their piss easy programming homework, which was actually kind of fun, and grade homework/tests, which wasn't fun but was pretty mindless work. During downtime I'd do my own homework, shitpost, or chat with the other TAs.

My current job is just shit in almost every way. Shitty buggy codebase that's barely readable, shit open office with shit standing desk and shit chairs, shit assignments where most of what I do is basically tweak some constant numbers until the software does what the boss wants it to do, and I do it all for shit pay despite being there for almost 3 years. The only things that aren't shit are the co-workers who I sadly don't like enough to continue putting up with this shit job, and the fact that they're pretty lenient about what websites you can access, so I can post on Jow Forums or listen to music on youtube all I like.

1st job: Data Engineer.

Work from home 3 days a week, the other two I go to the office from 10am to 6pm.

I mostly use PostgreSQL, R and a bit of JAVA.

Coming from an asm, C background (Electronic Engineer by title) it's an ezpz job desu.

My current contract is about to become my full time job, and I love it. I work at a financial company making microservices in java. The nice thing is it doesn't use jboss, it only uses spring as a runtime and autowiring, but mainly uses jax-rs for the convenience of making rest end points.

>The only downside is our boss is PARANOID about confidentiality
He's probably doing very illegal shit and will get his ass landed in jail one day. When he does, you're fucked because you didn't network and don't have professional presence

how well did you know those languages before you got that job? I also have a C/asm background (I've been at a firmware engineer job for almost 3 years now) but am trying to move to something in the backend web/data/enterprise world.

I did a Coursera course on R, already had 1 year of JAVA classes in college and SQL you can learn it in a week desu.

I live in Mexico so I am basically the only one that has those skills here, I am the lead data engineer after just 9 months, technically I have an employee.

Again, because Mexico, everything here is 10 years behind.

He has been quite tough on two guys who spilled some firm secrets in the past, maybe that's why. Anyways I'm definitely looking to work here long-term. Plus I have enough flexibility to have a side business too.

I maintain a salesforce database for a nonprofit, pays not the best but they let me come in when I want or work at home. Got my own office at the end of the hall and usually noone bothers me cause I've automated most things.

No degree, self taught, got the certs while on the job.

I mostly sit on my ass and do very little work. The pay is decent.

I worked at a big cosmetics company and edited Amazon pages for their products. The pay was low but I was never busy and everyone praised me because no one else knew how to use Amazon. Also there was always food/drinks being ordered for everyone for some random reason (maternity leave, promotion, company doing well, it's Wednesday, etc).

> Comfiest job
I worked tier 3 support for EarthLink internet back in the early 2000's. Tier 3 was chat and email tech support. Unlimited coffee, tea, and sodas. Pool table and Gauntlet machine in the break room. Literal no dress code. Free beer on holidays. Salary non-exempt, so you were guaranteed a decent wage, but could still earn overtime. Shit was so good until they got greedy and shipped all the support centers to India.

>working for the gov't
Why do this rather than a private company.

easy, as secure as a job gets, good pension

Tech job in a non-tech department. Don't have to be surrounded by angry autists all day.

>Literally just the IT guy

Isn't there a cap on how much you can make though?

Better be surrounded by angry autists than he extremely mad by yourself at anyone around.

Teaching, but I left because shit salary

I've only ever done life guarding and now modelling.
Lifeguarding was shit, met some interesting people but started hallucinating after a while from the sheer boredom (gym not beach).
Modelling is ok, pay gets me by in London, and I get paid for travel to various different places, met a lot of interesting people, but some shoots are tiring as shit. Also it's not that stable of a career path.
I just want to get a degree and get some comfy legal associate job or something

Is the goal to keep making more and more money? Shouldn't there be a point where you feel comfy with how much you are making, and no longer want more responsibility even if it means an increased salary?

I'm 3 years into being a software dev and I'm still figuring out this whole career and office politics thing. Quadrupling my salary at the cost of becoming a Projecy Manager sounds most uncomfy

The goal is freedom. Not having to work.

Yes consumerism requires money. Your meaning is consumerism as family is dead, everyone is now an equal wageslave to the exponentially growing pyramid scheme.

Bike courier was comfiest for me too. Now being a 8hr a day code monkey has sucked my soul dry. I rather live a shit life making pocket change living with my shitty parents then sitting at the desk doing dumb shit for fucking 8hrs a day.

If you're making 1/4th of a product manager's salary as a developer, then you're either new or being severely underpaid.

I'm at a job now where I get paid a pretty decent wage. The job itself is mostly simple, but does have some headaches with how the company manages (or rather doesn't manage) its projects. I could work to make things better, but because I'm not emotionally invested in what we build and because I'm not at all interested in playing office politics. I just keep quiet and collect my paychecks.

I'm looking forward to exiting the software industry one day.

leetcode and you too can be paid like that

I get paid £22000 a year to visit airbnbs/booking.com places for the gov and check if those are safe. then I eat a free £50 lunch break with the landlords , almost every day, so I can forget to report the bad smell in the sink or the dead smoke detector .. sometimes I even got free sex with students who sub rent their shithole. Oh and pakis pay me directly on paypal. I love my job

What kind of checks would they do for this job? Enhanced dbs? I'd love to do something like that for now

to be honest I was a cashier before I got my kids, then I just applied for a training program for 3 months in electricity and basic safety, first aid at work etc.. and that's us m8

Currently i work in walmart as a department manager where total sales in a month are between 300k to 750k$ only for my deparments. Gets pay 13.20$ an hour. Body physically exhausted. Currently getting a degree in EE. But need a good comfy job that allows me to study and work out. Suggestion? I just applied to jobs in both Walmart and Amazon.

Actually worried about how unsustainable this is, comfy af while it lasts though

I'm a doctor dealing with patients shit every day in ER. Best job.

I work in the medical marijuana industry so I get paid 25/hr to be on call for the pos system with the potential to get 35+/hr to be a master grower.

It doesn't feel like a job, just wake up to have a good time. I get drunk at the grow while on the clock.

>Mexico
So you make like 70% less for doing the same job. God bless the USA.

worked in a cinema telling people were to sit and cleaning up afterwards
Best job I ever had.
There was so much downtime I used to go to other departments just to get work cause I Was bored which lead me to being a supervisor.

Manager I liked left, schedule went from getting 50-60 hours a week and going from about 3000 a month to maybe 800 if I was lucky so I had to quit

You sound qualified to be a McDonalds manager :-)

How you are able to get all these jobs? I thought you would need qualifications to be a mechanic etc. Did you just apply? What about resume etc?

Eventually you will get more responsibility but regardless, after sitting in office for 15 years or so you will start to think about new career. Doing shit is okay when you are 20s but after that decade you will realize there's more to life than 24/7 office shit. I fucking hate my own career now (vfx) but dont have qualifications except I can script and shit, animate etc. Eventually work you love becomes a chore to do.

You don’t wanna work at amazon. My girlfriend is an area manager at a warehouse and she works over 60 hours a week. It has extremely high turnover rate, it’s a ton of work, lots of hours, Amazon tracks every single thing that you do inside the warehouse. they have sensors that can detect when and when you’re not working and you can easily get written up for slacking for 30mins. She hates her life and so do all of the people she manages (the warehouse grunts)

just train for strength, check Jim Wendler 5/3/1 each session takes 30 minutes max and pure strength training will increase your energy levels better than any faggot bodybuilding programs.

How and why did Amazon ever get off if the people are abused and hate their jobs? I dont understand this. They should unionize and quit.

Because even though the work hours are long, the work is hard, etc. Amazon does reward and move you up if you are a good worker. My girlfriend makes $61k which isn’t bad at all for a female who just graduated college with a non-stem degree.

It is not that bad. She needs to drink the kool-aid and lots of it though. But this happens everywhere in the end.

What about zero hour contracts? Amazon has a habit of laying people off without a notice after 3 month period. One guy did three bouts of work there and always got laid off like that. This was to prevent people gaining any benefits and them avoiding costs altogether. How did she get over these situations?

>falling for the “only le betas browse Jow Forums” meme
Either way college elections have notoriously bad turnout rates, that user probably just had to be at least neutral in likeability to earn that position

Worked in IT at my uni. Time was capped out at part-time but i only worked for maybe 2-4 hours a week and watched netflix or something during the rest of my time

Did you ever jack off at work or try to spy female toilets, or steal anything?

first job out of uni
>company rented a small office instead of paying for relocation
>nobody else in my office, could play music without headphones
>gf would come over after she finished work
>only had a weekly phone call with manager
>usually got my work knocked out in a few hours, had plenty of downtime
>never had to work overtime
the pay was ultimately why i left but i still think it was my most enjoyable job

Nah, i did consider the first option once but figured i didn’t want to spiral down that rabbit hole.

Probably my current job.
>work from home
>first hour of "work" usually occupied by wife unless she has to leave early
>dont have to use phone to view blocked sites, can just use desktop
>clean house while waiting on tests to run
>can ignore people on slack until i feel like responding
i used to drive an hour each way until i finally got to work from home. i have more free time and probably do slightly less work now, and never have to worry about the drama mill

>believing larpers
Do you also think all the incest posters are sincere?

I didnt know that at all. That sounds fucking horrible. I did it because the pay is better than walmart.
thank you. Im reading on it as of now.

My current job is super comfy, Im a cable monkey/engineer at a data center, we have our own lab and I get to enjoy quiet days on shift in there, money's good too.

did you actually just slap "engineer" in front of the word "cable" and call it a job title?

Amazon is pretty decent where I work, hard work but 40 hours over 4 days gives you plenty of time off, even then the work sometimes gets finished early like it did last night, after our 3rd break we had an hour to do a single 5 minute job, then after a lot of pissing around we had a 4th break with 15 minutes to go, sometimes they let us leave early sometimes they don't. They don't track us over anything but setting the fire alarms off which happens once a month by accident. I don't know of anyone who's been written up in well over a year.
In the uk its 9 months a year and you know you're going unless its prime week/christmas or you get converted.

europe has a very different work culture than that of the US

being a complete wage cuck and giving all your free time to your employer is the norm here

Yeah, we literally cannot work more than 60 hours as agency at amazon and even then getting the opportunity to get the 2x pay rate for working 50-60 hours is almost impossible.

No they're the two main things I do, I'm a cable monkey running in new patch panels and leads to the links off-site.

I also do the merch/elec work on site, from UPS/Geni to installing commando sockets under the floorspace.

Sorry for been so lazy at explaining myself.

>>Work whenever you want
>>Work however you want
>>Work as much or as little as you want
>>Know you're responsible for your own dealings
That pretty much describes me. I am a webdev remotefag, flexhourchad who can shuffle hours around and still walk away with a full salary at the end of the month. The average well-off wagie puts in 40 hours in a week, the cagies put in 60, but I do anywhere between 20-40 and walk away with a modest salary.
I'm the only dev were I work and so shit gets done when shit gets done. There's a huge stack of shit that they want done, so I pick n choose what I'm going to focus on, dibble and dabble, get a few things working and come in to demo. Then if peeps are happy, I push it into production and then take a 2-4 hours lunch break.
Nigga, I've woken up like 4 hours late to work and nobody gave me any trouble because nobody's keeping tabs on me. I just shuffle my hours to make up for lost time.

The facial expression on this one is perfect. Literally me.
