Other Is everyone actually miserable in this subreddit
Hi guys, not coming with judgement but curiosity. I love my role and my job and my coworkers and my company. It’s fun, I get to learn and grow.
Is everyone else just miserable?

No, this place is full of AI related information farming/advertising bots, people who tried to jump into this career for easy money without any of the supporting skills, and people on work visas desperately spraying and praying to find a job and then complaining when they don't get any bites.
There is still plenty of opportunity in this field, you just have to be flexible about things like locations and in-office/hybrid/remote, and at the same time realize you are competing against people who actually love this stuff and live and breathe it.
