You should really talk to someone about this, because you attitude of “I missed out on an internship, so my life is ruined” isn’t healthy.
People at FAANGs don’t “own the company by any means any more.
And the fact that you have a job (and probably a good job in software) shows how privileged US developers can be.
Having an office job, in a growth industry, in an in-demand field, in a country with lots of opportunities is a huge privilege that most don’t have have.
Sure you don’t work at an ad-tech FAANG company earning obscene rates, but it’s not the end of the world.
