Genuinely, how much would this even pay? If you’re someone who was/is at faang and you’ve got a $2m mortgage - you’re gonna just bootstrap a $500k+/yr salary from the get go? This sentiment feels like something that maybe works in

They're terrible for picky or unattractive people. They're great for those who aren't picky and are attractive. Almost anyone I know who is not picky and is attractive has gotten a relationship within a couple months of being

Remote work is not that common still. All the return to office mandates should make that clear… The Bay Area still is attracting tens of thousands of immigrants from across the world every year. I have not seen any big difference in populat

They can come with large debt but it's not guaranteed. The one thing I will say though is that you typically do need to go to a more prestigious university. Also, tech is no exception to the expensive lifestyle. It's basically a r

I’ve already had it and am planning more. It’s not sufficient. Some of us are born with faces that western doctors cannot figure out how to fix.

Yeah, I think my frustrations have much more to do with the environment than coding or whatever. I don’t spend a ton of time coding and so my frustrations naturally are abundant. I think a lot of finance these days is kinda bullshit though.

Do people really enjoy this industry that much? I get the feeling we have a lot of outspoken people who write a lot but almost everyone I’ve ever met is trying to get the fuck out. They want to get their payday and FIRE. They’re not interes

I had a similar issue when I was doing more help desk work as a college student. I worked in a hospital and older women would always complain that I wasn't friendly enough. I had a miserable fucking life - I was grinding myself into du

Please don’t speak pseudoscience. Your body doesn’t violate the laws of thermodynamics. Your argumentation is saying if you stop eating you wont lose weight - which is blatantly false. No one dies of starvation being fat. It’s that simple.

Contract work is much harder to come by and requires a significant network. Most of the time I interacted with people doing contract work, it was because they used to be FTE at the boss’s previous company. As far as pay goes, I don’t find m

This is YMMV. I still get a lot of “why don’t you drink?!! Come on, man!!” in the US. Especially in a city like NYC - you’re signing up to be a bit of a social outcast.

If your goal is to improve your looks and be attractive to women - it's about weightlifting. I know a ton of runners who also lift weights. The point is that you need to be lifting weights if you're a man and wanting to attract mo

My point stands. Someone who is not on steroids and is closer in looks to Sam Sulek than Kipchoge will have more success. There’s enough studies out there on this that I shouldn’t have to even be saying this. Most women like strong looking

Are you really going to say that most women yearn for a man who has a body that looks like Kipchoge?

You do the activity - you run and chat with some folks if you can. Otherwise, you just go to the social after. A lot of them meetup at a bar or something as the final destination to socialize post-run. Same with socializing before everyone

Women like men who look good. Men who lift weights usually look more attractive than someone who has a “runners” body. (Skinny and not muscular) Some runners will look jacked but that’s probably due to steroids and/or weightlifting. Ru

Super common. Seen this happen a lot with some hobbies that I've pursued. The men will show back up when/if said relationship dies (after all - it worked the first time). A lot of women do this too. They might've had a genuin

Or just have public housing like many other countries do - which provides ample supply without any incentive structure to keep prices going up. Rent can be stabilized and prices can be low from the start to only cover costs. No need to pay

No. The social status associated with it is very low. I’d pursue another career with higher social status or just stop working altogether and try to find something that would elevate my social status. Being financially independent is surpri

You cannot do this in certain states like NJ and NY. You will need an MD to order the tests. Same with other things like ordering insulin syringes or whatnot. Means I have to buy stuff from out of state or fly out of state to do my bloodwor

How were you able to do that if you didn’t have the career? Most women in the US are extremely focused on the income of their partner. Similarly, I found that many women divorce their husbands when the husband just doesn’t show up at home a

Tech was the wrong career for me. Although I've been wildly successful on several indicators (startup acquired, another going public, FAANG, etc.), it was the worst career I could've been in for social success. I should've do
