Are you sure you’re not your “boy”. Cuz your posts are starting to sound like a newfound technique to humble brag.
nikka just be spamming stories while thousands of layoffs get announced damn near daily and telling nikkas just go work at a FAANG. shyt is fukkign insulting and I`m someone who has worked I big tech. Breh a whole fukking weirdo lol.

Like I said if nikka got it like that he would be giving everynikka in here looking for a job a referral, not dikk eating some nikka with an 8th grade education that doesn't want to work because he likely traumatized by all the weird ass nikkas that work in tech

You don't understand.

I've posted photos of old FAANG badges and my Stanford ID. Also photos taken in a bunch of different continents/countries. First class on the Shinkansen, first class on swiss rail, kicking old white people out of my seats, first class on french rail, Taiwan. Business class on Chinese rail from Shanghai to Beijing.

Hanging in business class lounges all over the Pacific and Atlantic.

I'm not some humble guy. Would never pretend to be someone else as my life is fukking dope. Especially where I come from. Incredible.

I remember Kevin Nash saying something like, "you could show me anyone's life and I wouldnt trade places with them."

That's how I feel.

My boy is in job market, I'm not. I'm using him to highlight my central point... if you focus on building legit skills, you put yourself in position to win at any level.

He is living proof. Despite all his bullshyt, despite all of these traits that should hold him back (according to you guys), he is killing it. Even despite himself.

Not only a referral, an IC6 at Meta referral. Truly a life changing opportunity.

Conveniently skipped over by the loser doom and gloom crew who is only focused on making excuses and discouraging others.

Crabs in a barrel shyt.

So why are you not in the market? Did mommy and daddy set up trust fund accounts for you?

Like what did you of your own capabilities?

Cause if your ass didn’t invent anything you’re just being a moron with the way you’re talking.

black that stupid ass nikka. nikka is proof of how idiotic these people are. nikka randomly shoes up in a thread that is almost 500 pages like shyt is just imaginary. He literally playing in nikkas faces which is what these condescending "tech bro" nikkas do. Not knowing in real life most of us would slap the shyt out of these nikkas but the money too good to risk our freedom on a nerd lol.

Currently in the quant space. When I say, "not in the market" it means I'm not actively looking for a job so I may not know if companies are hiring as well as someone who is looking for a job. Or in the case of my boy, someone who is kinda looking.

Mommy and daddy? You guys have no clue. Grew up struggling more than most. All my friends who "made it" in tech or academia are non-trad guys who grew up in single-parent households (like my boy, who didn't even graduate high school).

One of my boys, single mom, he was in his 20's working as a shoe salesman, brother was killed in Iraq. Put himself through state school, then got accepted to Columbia. Went through grad-school while supporting a wife and two kids.

Another one, single mom. Was working as a military contractor. Didn't take his career seriously until his 30's. Now high-level manager at FAANG.

I don't relate to most tech or finance folks like that. Way too much of a chip on my shoulder. I only relate to high-strung people, a-type personalities who are even more competitive than Navy SEALS.

That's why I like talking this shyt. Motherfukkers can do it. Would rather see 1 non-trad make it than 100 asian kids whose parents learned to game the system.

How am I talking?

"Hey, focus on building real skills that companies are looking for and don't fall for the short-term cyclical or doom and gloom narratives"
"Hey, here is a referral for a life changing opportunity. If you are serious about it, hit me up and I will get it to a good friend of mine right away."
"Hey, you have to look at the layoff numbers in context because there was an unprecedented surge in hiring during COVID."
"Hey, stop playing low-level games, take your career and yourself seriously."

If you met me in real life, you would be scared shytless. Ever put a hand on me... :russ: :russ: :russ: :lolbron::blessed::demonic:

This has been tested around the world.

Been shot at, had people pull guns on me point blank. Cops point guns at me point blank. Been in foreign and domestic jails. Zero fear.

We ride motorcycles around the world, climb crazy shyt, and put our bodies on the line for fun. Was just hospitalized a week due to a parasite I picked up in some backwater country.

You don't understand. You have the wrong guy.

Who cares what you would do? You could never be like me.

I've posted proof of pretty much everything. This whole back-and-forth started after I posted about how my boy was actively dodging an invite from Meta to interview for a management role.

The responses from the dumb and gloom idiots in here were filled with envy and hate. "But, but...just because he got invited to interview doesn't mean he is getting the role." Really? Thanks for that brilliant insight. :childplease:

"But, but...I mean, they only invited him to interview for the numbers."
So I decided to keep updating the thread every time he received more interest. :skip:

Now people are getting mad. Now I'm "playing in people's faces" and being "condescending." :lolbron:

Edit: I see you were one of the dumbasses who responded with hate.

Original
Yea, my boy left Google to bum around Europe on a motorcycle. He doesn't respond to most of his emails. Here is one of the latest.

The blacked out is basically, "Hey bro, why haven't you responded? Come lead a cutting-edge engineering team."

This is a black dude with an 8th grade education. :russ:

Again, if you're a serious person, have some talent/skill, no better time to solve problems in this space.

On that high horse you’re on, it’s a shame you’re unaware of the many different levels of accomplishment that exist.

Everything you’ve said so far has been telling cats to learn tech trades of various types. But you don’t realize there’s a level of innovation that exist. What do you know how to do well that very few people can do? Taking a course on a new tech only means you know how to follow the instructions on how to use a specific tech routine, that someone else built.

An inventor. A creatively talented individual would never brag about the accomplishments you have been yapping about in this thread.

So far you’ve told folks to learn xyz. But what happens if xyz is no longer valuable? Learn a new tech trade? And then what? You see where this is going right?
