To get a base salary of $170k you know you need to work hard as an Engineer, this sucks.

LOL - this motherfucker talkin about hard work. You actually think sitting in an office for 8 hours a day is working harder than the guy delivering packages? GTFO with that shit.

Try sitting still and reading a book for more than 10 minutes, and you will find that it can be exhausting to do. Now imagine being forced to pay your full attention like this for 8 hours every day. Then don’t forget that you have to get up from your cozy reading time to think and write about whatever you just read in most analogies as well.

I sat and read for 8 hours yesterday. It was my day off.
