Hi guys, sort of at a crossroads here, anyone here can give me life and career advice here, will dm about my personal situation

Social anxiety

cocomaru — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 07:46:37 +0800

Guys, I have been working a remote job for about 3 years with very limited human interaction, sometimes we would have video calls here and there.

Recently, something happened to me and this is sort of a wake up call and finally decided that I am sick of it.

Growing up, I had a small group of close friends that I always hang with, but at one point I started isolating myself from people for years, and we stopped talking entirely.

I have been seeing a counselor for two weeks now about my issues, it made me feel better to know I was being heard.

And I met someone recently that suggested I should try marketing for event planning and branding and stuff as a change of pace.

For someone who has mild social anxiety/introversion, should I take the leap of faith and start applying for jobs in that area?

Need career advice

cocomaru — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 18:00:28 +0800

Hi guys, here's a quick summary about myself:

Around October 2022, I got a job as online customer support and I've been working for this company ever since then until now, which is almost 3 years now.

It's a work from home job, and I'm getting tired of working alone at home.

I graduated with a banking degree in 2018, basically in between 2018-2022, I was hopping in between jobs.

Here are the 3 options I am looking at:

1) Data Analyst
2) Data Scientist
3) Backend developer

I am 30 now, and I wonder will my age affects my employability in Malaysian market, and realistically speaking, how realistic is it for me to learn the skills required so that I could be good enough & employable to be either one of the 3 options above in between 3 to 6 months?

Hi everyone, I am not sure what the problem is, after I turned on my Acson air conditioner (1.0HP), few minutes later, it started blowing non cold air, and I noticed there's an orange light on the AC unit starts blinking. Then I turned off the AC for a while and turned it back on, the problem disappears.

cocomaru — Fri, 06 Oct 2023 22:04:18 +0800

I have been thinking about quitting my job, I have saved up some money that could last me for about a year.

So I am thinking of using this time off by learning courses online and take up some projects so that I could land myself a software engineering job latest by next year.

My question would be, is there still any long term career mobility when it comes to software engineering? Or should I just look for something else?

How do you guys view this situation?

cocomaru — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 21:48:42 +0800

Me and my brother are staying at a condo.

I have a girlfriend that I met 6 months ago, we just got together recently. So she is coming to visit me for 2 weeks, my brother is not cool with it.

I asked him why, he told me the reason is that this is our condo, and he does not like the idea of a stranger living with us, and I told him I knew my girlfriend for enough time to know that she is a nice girl, she's not gonna interfere him with whatever it is that he's doing.

Besides, we barely talked and we got along well for the 2 years that we've stayed with each other, so I do not understand how my girlfriend is going to be a problem.

And he told me that if it's gonna be long term, then she is going to come here for a longer time next time, and told me that if this is going to be the case, then I should move out.

I barely bring anyone home, but he always does, even though most of the time it's only for a day or two, but I never had a problem with him bringing anyone home as long as they are not loud.

What do you guys think, is he being ridiculous?

How legit is this?
