ok that all sounds reasonably sensible to me. my only further comment would be: hadoop is a distributed filesystem with a restrictive programming model, and redis is a cache. getting experience with those is definitely good for you and your resume. but most of the interesting work to be done on data intake is done with half-assed ad hoc shell scripts, because problem #1 is always that the data is unclean or even unstructured

a task so fundamentally ill-defined does not admit an elegant solution. you can add all sorts of structure and process but you'll never get something that feels well engineered

iirc I enjoyed the data structures chapter in Skienna’s algorithm design manual for the decent overview. most of my data structures learning though was going on a Wikipedia page for like AVL trees, making an implementation of it, then going to related pages and going at it again. if you’re looking for functional stuff, nothing beats Okasaki’s book.

i guess it helps that i don't really consider telling people my opinions to be work but ya i hear you. my pay is not bad for my current title but could always be better. not sure i want to change jobs right now though. i'm not really trying to minmax my salary, i'm going more for money-to-effort ratio

management is also a much riskier position if your company is at all decent. i'm pretty sure most if not all fuckups in business can be placed squarely at the feet of management.

we’ve also gone over this several times, not all startups have lovely work life balance. I took 4 weeks off and wfh whenever I wanted at my last one. One of my coworkers spent 5-6 weeks working remote in Europe. Another did yearly visits to Singapore for a month to visit family. and as far as day to day I’d cut out at 3 on fridays. It really depends on the place. Now did I do some stupid midnight work on Saturdays, yeah, but I sure as hell took comp time the week after.
