What is hilarious is your disdain for their achievements which occurred in less than two years. This is just the beginning.

Can I grant myself a visa with my own LLC? I co-own and run it remotely, it's making 600k profit from 4mil revenue. It's based in the US, I'm from Ireland, living in the UK. It hasn't taken investment but we reinvest a lot of revenue in growth.

Fair point!

Literally every past comment of his is contentious or negative. Probably worth ignoring from here, clearly isn't acting in good faith on here.

Calling someone a terrible person, liar, scammer and fraud with little evidence is not a good look. Even if all your points are true (Austen has refuted at least a few), "terrible person" is a huge stretch.

You can surely see they are helping a lot of people, in addition to what you believe on the negative side of things. Not trying to be snippy or offer a trick question, but genuinely, what do you get out of this? Surely it's not worth your time. Even if he is the biggest scammer on the planet you are probably better off spending your time on constructive things.

Just wanted to say you have done a good job explaining here. Unfortunately people love to concentrate on negative outcomes without thinking about the positive. On balance the few, arguably "bad" things Lamda has done seem to be hugely outweighed by the positive.

I can't seem to reply to it but I second poorjohnmacafee's comment about creating a business.

I was in a similar place to you 6 years ago, it never really clicked for me in a regular job.

I started my own small business in the vein of Max Maher/Rohan Gilkes/Sweaty Startup (moving service/house cleaning etc. ). I knew nothing about the industry I chose and worked on average about 25 hours a week. The competition is weak as the brightest/best are all (generally) in coding/tech/law/finance.

Plenty of options out there to start something low risk and cheap.

It just clicked for me, I've really enjoyed the process and I genuinely did struggle at every job I ever held.

It can be tough but the rewards are great if you are suited to running a business.

I do some hiring for my company, and if I saw a resume with numerous <2 month positions it would be a red flag. Try lowering your expectations, find any position and stick with it. You can continue to apply for better roles while you have that job. Worst case you end up there for 6 + months which looks much better on a resume. Best of luck!

People who move abroad still have to pay taxes in the US, unless they renounce citizenship.

Some remote workers who can might do that but I doubt very many.

Are you saying you would like the people in charge to remove all restrictions?

Do you agree that a higher number of people will die if they do this? Are you OK with that?
