Hey man, I am 40 and have a house and kids. I used to get shockingly depressed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy got me out of it. I have since made and lost and made millions. I don’t feel any happier than I was when I was making millions. The

This article is suspicious because it is very opinionated. It feels like a study that would benefit China in attempting to create a gap between India and western powers. They would need a left wing Marxist type social justice argument about

This happened to me. It is very challenging if your manager doesn’t support you. If you start getting undermined by getting skipped over, it is your direct managers job to stop it. I found my direct manager was not covering me so I asked fo

I think you should be careful about dropping whatever you are doing and running back to this new iteration of AI. Quite honestly, the opportunity all seems to be on the front end. The idea that you are going to airdrop yourself as a hands o

This line of argument is utter nonsense and propaganda. Review the history of what happened. Covid landed. Then the federal reserve printed tons of money (shows up clearly in the percentage of government spending as share of US GDP and M2 m

I am similar to you. I am naive and optimistic and take a “I’ll just work more” approach to everything. The same pattern happens over and over again. I go somewhere, try to do exceptional work, then something changes and I get screwed. I th

I feel like this entire article was literally just made up out of thin air. Really? They just laid off a shit ton of people in tech. It’s like a staff writer gets a free pass to invent a trend that was believable six months ago but not now

I am personally shocked continually at how drastically overvalued seeming engineering is. I read through what he wrote here - Not to be cynical; and I used to be an engineer: but this sounded like a bunch of fluffy B.S. I used to work at se

These lessons are just brutal. If you are high in EQ and vaguely likable you can substitute for technical skill or hard work. I had a colleague who was like a golden retriever and lacking in all talent. Everyone loved him. He never got anyt

this is going to get more and more common. There is a massive demographic cliff of retiring boomers with advanced technology skills that can’t be readily replaced. My recommendation if you are older than 40 is to be working at high quality

I have ADHD and Aspergers. Which results in extremely high anxiety. I did not get along with other children or people. In fact; I found them completely boring and had no desire to interact with anyone. My instinct at school was just to avoi

No one is getting rich in the next two years. I feel similar to you. I missed many opportunities. I also had some hits and spent a lot of my time working on the “wrong” things. If you feel really bad just remember it’s everyone. No one is h

I need to answer this because I solved this problem as a super introvert. This reply will get buried. Quite honestly, I realized I was boring and my life was boring. I had a boring job with no travel that didn’t involve meeting anyone inter

I am completely sympathetic because of how expensive housing is. Everyone here claiming it’s fraud: Why are you convinced that your employer and you have a congenial relationship? All employment contracts are one sided. They have more power

I understand this entirely. I usually stay around 3 to 3 1/2 years. Not the worst tenure but not the best. I now prioritize positive feelings, emotions and energy above all. My goal in all meetings and all interactions is to keep posit

I quit FAANG to do startups this year. I quit because I was completely bored out of my mind, hyper underutilized, there were so many people around me doing the same work as me so zero interesting growth options. Now that I am in a (very goo

My biggest regret by far is managing a (formerly extremely productive) remote team that developed incredibly toxic indirect communication spirals which just got worse and worse and worse. I also deeply regret ever being a middle manager whe

You don’t have to settle for this shit. The unemployment rate is still very low and we are going into a demographic crunch where all the boomers are leaving the workforce. You sound like you don’t have a better idea or calling. Does nothing

You are correct. The innovation is gone. It has been all MBAs and lawyers and highly diligent immigrants who ask no questions and only do what they are told. It’s a dead company.

This article feels like a classic PR placement. It’s a little too heavy on promoting what institutional investors find useful: Having more control and power. It is very clearly advancing a point of view useful for drum roll people with th

I have three children. It is literally impossible for me to survive on any salary companies are willing to pay. I work multiple jobs. Idk the solution. It costs me $3,000 a month just for school. That’s a second mortgage. Either they increa

I don’t think you could Make a more career limiting move than joining a defunct silicon company operated by a whacky Japanese hedge fund rather than a VC backed startup focused on software. How transferable are the skills you would get at t

I like how you think because largely correct. I believe it has probably gotten much worse in “inflation driven bubble growth” times we had the last ten years. Non productive individual contributors have proliferated … because why not hire a
