> I feel like your attitude is kinda offensive and disgusting. How much money have you made by abusing drugs in our rat race?

Yeah, I am kinda disgusted myself, but I am right on the cusp, and I am grasping at it. That last sprint. I’ve locked in 99.5%-tile wealth, but the next month to six will determine if I can get into 99.9%-tile, where the true game change is.

And I’m under no illusion, if I don’t bag this deal here for the 99.9%-tile (private aviation, super yacht and models) I’ll forever be stuck at 99.5%-tile (first class commercial, upper middle class lifestyle forever without having to work).

Just a little more... broke my way many times... just need this last bit...

Hmmm, never heard of adding NAC. And do you supplement magnesium too?

Your talking about things I’ve never heard of before, this does sound advanced. Any other things on your stack?

I was hard burnt out, all the symptoms, literally thought I’d never work again. I’ve come back now and i’ll tell you what worked for me. YMMV.

Didn’t quit. Started working 20-30hrs per week max. Let everything that couldn’t fit in that truly slide. Cultivated DGAF attitude, concentrated on self-care out of the office (with extra time I had from working low hours).

Took a long, long time at this reduced pace, maybe 6 - 9 months of thinking “ok, this is sustainable” and eventually got recharged...

It’s called “choice”

And as much as you may personally love the tech industry, it’s perfectly reasonable that some women don’t.

Arguably it’s a smarter choice to go into dentistry than tech.

For getting a new job, only do an online masters if you want to switch specialties (i.e. move from embedded to security or web programming, etc)

If staying in embedded will just focus on work experience.

$90-$150 per hour is the going rate.

... and no I wouldn't pay $5 per workout on your app. :)

Silicon Valley hiring manager here.

From my perspective, unfortunately, Georgia Tech has really diluted the value of their masters in cs degree. They have become a sort of immigration visa-mill with very many India undergrad -> Georgia Tech Masters of very questionable skill level.

Just my experience.

Ha ha ha. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I am not sure what type of self-respecting guy would go to one of those things. The lady organizing it thinks your a "potential rapist in a pack"

Dudes, go grab a case of beers, go back to your frat and come up with the the next snap chat.

Men don't need safe spaces.

Doesn't this reply invalidate your whole point of the article?

Seems like there was a lot of hard work put in on making the "khanda-ta" work properly?
