Im a young breh (23) that just graduated college and got a great job making high 5 figures bordering on 6 figs (Working as a programmer in financial sector) but honestly..It isnt that much money considering taxes,rent, helping sick mom.

So now im looking into ways I can pivot and get into making some serious money but so far all I can think of is take my skills to silicon valley and get a job at a start up and pray for the best but thats a pretty big risk in itself. Honestly feels like I should have been a rapper or something lol..

Anyone give me any ideas on how I should be investing my money instead of just blowing it on dumb shyt?

Get a job at Google or Facebook. If you can program and come up with a way to generate more revenue from their ad services, they will pay you huge bonuses. If you're interested in stocks, find a quant fund and start working there. There are tons of ways you can use your programming skills to add commission to your salary.
