My contract is not renewed as I was feeling, however I have been cheated by their words. They told me three weeks ago before my visa expires that they will give unlimited contract, they also talked with government about the extension,..etc. They made me sleep, and forget about it. Three days ago, They talked with me that they won't renew the contract because of financial problems. They took the key, ID, Immediately, with no respect at all, and I left the company at the same hour.

Recently, I have been asked to write a Server App in Java, to decode SOAP XML, the protocol had a lot of messages, many fields, didn't have previous experience with SOAP, Java Socket, Java Marasheller, and I had working version in 4 days.

The boss while telling my that I have to leave, he commented that I didn't care of CPU usage, which my colleague noticed it, and I immediately solved it!, he also said that I used the read() function, and that's wrong, what if there are missing packets, I told him I have a socket timeout!. I told him even before that meeting, to review my code, before delivering it, and give me comments, it seems that his feedback is to fire me!!.

I talked with the CEO on the phone and told him tell me the truth, he told me the major issue is financially, and we want to invest in sales. I'm totally depressed, don't trust myself anymore, I accepted very low salary and in the contract it is an entry position. I just want to leave the country, go to Egypt which is more worse, but I really can't forget how did they interact with me, however I helped them so much in a lot of things in their software.

I would like to hear from professionals how do they cope up with situations like that ?

Just out of curiosity what was the low pay you received and what city do you live in? I am just curios about different pay scales for entry level positions in different areas of the country.

You are better off going to a wealthier nation like Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates, then at least you would get decent pay. These days allot of the small start-ups in America are taking advantage of programmers and paying virtually nothing to entry level. I remember being offered 10 dollars an hour at some place, and it was only for a couple months of intense all nighters. These jobs are known to be dead ends because after the company hires on a large team of new programmers. They put them through the minimum number of sprints until the next product is out, then lay everyone off. Then sales kick in for the next 9 months to sell and make profit. Never worth it, start-ups live off the generosity of their employees.

If you really want to make it big in America do not work for anyone, make eekers work for you at sub standard salaries and recoup millions back in sales. This is the land where it is legal to profit off the hard work of other people.

I was in Austria, with GERMANS :@, 2300 euro, after taxes 1500, you pay 500 rent, food 400, then cigarettes,.etc. You get nothing.

I was in Saudi Arabia, and I cried blood that I left it!!!.

From your post, looks like your colleague did not like you :/

"I would like to hear from professionals how do they cope up with situations like that ?"

You work out what you were successful at while you were there, you put those things on your CV as achievements and then you go and find another job.

And that's all. These things happen. People get fired, made redundant, companies go bust. Jobs go away. It happens to everyone.

Cry in private, but in public, put on a smart suit and shiny shoes and get back to selling yourself into a new role.

You brush it off, you move on.

Easier said than done, but that's what you gotta do.
