The lockdown came on just after I graduated from college. I was alwas told that getting a degree would get me a good job. I was actually called for an interview from a good international company. They said they'll let me know about the results in a week, and then BAM! lockdown.
I spent one month doing nothing, sent an application to this startup just incase I get work. I did. They interviewed me over the phone, and they were pretty impressed by the work I had done. They told me I would be given a low pay, but it will increase depending on my performance.
So what was this job? They wanted me to make a website for some college, with zoom integrated and all. Seems do able. Usually with projects I've done at university, I follow some YouTube tutorial and make the changes I need to make. But these fucks wanted it done in a month. They told me to get a good login system from GitHub and start making the changes. I did that.
They asked me to set up an azure server, but because of their free subscription, the servers wouldn't set up properly. They kept saying I was doing something wrong, until they finally checked in with amazon, and then they told me to set it up locally. Which I did.
Then they gave me a UI on Adobe XD and told me to make the UI. I'm not good with CSS, so my work was slow. When it took time 2 days longer, they went silent. And then they told me they're going with moodle.
We spent a few days setting up the moodle site, and then they told me to edit the moodle source code. Which is NOT something moodle was ever designed for. It took me a few days to learn it, and I made the changes. They didn't call me for a few days. I was telling one of my friends about this, and accidentally messaged that guy, then I deleted the message. He called me and he said that he realized the project was "too difficult" for me (I'm insulted), and that he's transferring me to wordpress project and that he'll let me know. And told me to go through some wordpress tutorials. That was on Thursday. I haven't heard from them since.
They asked for my bank details to send my salary. But they didn't.
I worked my ass for my degree, and I was severely depressed and suicidal during that time. I worked as an unpaid intern at one point. And I finally got my degree. I had hoped that getting a fucking degree would pay me above minimum wage, and let me tell you the starting salary of a software engineer in my country is twice as what I was offered. And I didn't even get that! Meanwhile I know chads who are working as "graphic artists" simply because they have connections.
FUCK THIS COUNTRY! FUCK CHAD! FUCK THE SYSTEM!
