Update: I left my $100k/yr IT job in DC to start a business down in Louisiana last July.

I went back in visit DC a few weeks ago. I went to a club on U st with this chick I use to talk to. She had some fine girls with her. The place was packed. No one was dancing, it was my homegirl's friend bday. She's fine as fukk, not one dude talked to her. Dudes are thirsty but are tired of getting shot down and hi-sided on. That's what DC is about, everyone pretending to be too good for each other, most people are single.


Bunch of miserable, lonely people pretending to be extremely successful and acting like their lives are perfect because they're making 50k plus and drive a 2007 Acura TL or a new Sonata.

Straight costume party. Only so long you can take that faking shyt.

great story man...

this new job is finally gonna give me the money i feel like I've deserved all my life man...I hope to have the same adventures and live the life I've finally wanted to live after years of being broke.

This is why I post on the coli...never give up on your dreams...even if there are some roadblocks in the way.

Why don't you have a supporter tag under your avi?

So basically, homie below tried to warn you, and you didn't listen... My man with that crystal ball clarity... he called it all. @BlvdBrawler

 

[Momentum]

Why did you spend all that $$$ traveling

 

[Rawtid]

At least you tried. maybe scale your original idea back some, do some research and try to create a niche within your market.

My neighbor started a payroll processing company but just for folks that work in theater. It's a very specific market, but there was a need for it.

You've been making this thread, with slight variations, for 5 years.

You clowns are assuming a lot. I did a lot research, but when starting any new business for the 1st time there are a lot of unknowns. Ask any business that.

Say what you want but it take balls to make major moves. It's easy to sit quietly and grow old never attempting to do something special. I'm glad I did what I did. I had to do it, I had to learn and see for myself. I can't take the word of people that have never done shyt like you two. If i'm not happy or satisfied I'm going to make moves. Things might not work out exactly as planned but I'll bounce back. I'll never stop trying. I'm going to run a business some day.

Make a move to Islam. You will be so happy if you become good at practicing Islam. Plus Islam is the only way to Heaven in this life and the afterlife. I'm only trying to help you out!

Would also like to know what was bad about the DC work experience I know it's a very career oriented "what do you do?" place but go on...

Work is ALL people talk about. Everything is centered around your job.

Yo how a brother get in the IT game? What skills do I need? 100k a year looking kinda pretty in the light. fukk happiness I want some bread

The only skills you need is luck b/c nikkas is not making that much money regularly doing fukkin' IT. A couple might be eating, but like I said good luck amassing the experience, connections, time etc to land one.

naw bruh...you're just a loser who didn't/doesn't go outside of your comfort zone i.e. those same people who you call soulless. DC has PLENTY of everything you said the city lacks. Just go to u street and you'll see a bunch of different cultures, restaurants, bars, music spots, etc. fpr you to think everyone in DC is in politics is fukking ridiculous....fukkouttahere with that dumb shyt.

Exactly!...Adams Morgan right there what you speak of...and Georgetown...National Harbor...etc...The BLVD...there's a lot to do here...and a lot of different cultures here...the funny thing is my chic from new orleans loved it up here because of the "DIVERSITY"...lmao...she was like you can go to this corner and that corner and get different kinds of foods from different cultures...she loved U street and Adams Morgan...we had good times and @that hooka bar...and she stayed a few years...back to D.C. you can go thru the city 4 am and still get a big ass slice of pizza while seeing a nice piece of ass too...and don't get me started on 14th street...there's a lot to do...OP wasn't pullin' no broads...that's what it was...you can't eat off the women like that here unless you ballin'...a thug...or got swag...or if you got your own place then there's no reason you can't pulll chics or build a romantic connection either...they not fukkin' at your momma's place...if you out of town you already looked at as a bama so if you can't dress you not pullin' no broads here...it's a have/have not thang in the DMV...so you're gonna have "professional dudes" with "hood girls"...not anything to deal with realness either...just a lot of families from D.C. moved down the road to Maryland and had families there and brought that D.C. mentality there...so you think someone is being fake or boogie but there Momma and family is from D.C. so thatis what they were raised by and raised around...that's the way it is...it is very competitive here and most people move back home because of that and because it's expensive...the media got it fukked up with the politics...statues and monuments...a lot of out of towners front on the Go-Gos but they be poppin' and the broads twerk to that like no other...

DC is a bland, stale and soulless city full of type A professionals. People aren't real. People are real siddity here. It's hard to make real romantic connections. It's hard to meet real people in terms of just friendship. Everybody is about their career, networking and advancing. Mostly because people in DC are transient by nature; in the city for college, graduate school, government job, campaign work, lobbying, politics. The idea is just to come here, get a career and bounce. So they could care less about anything that doesn't involve that. DC is a one trick pony town. Politics and government. Imagine if New York was full of nothing but, Wall Street people. No starving artists, musicians, writers, publishers, fashion models, night club owners, journalists and editors, engineers, programmers, architects, lawyers, other corporate employees. Just a city full of boring investment bankers. That's D.C. Cities like NYC and LA have people from all walks of life there.

As a dude from the DMV who left an 80k a year job and a 20k a year side business to come ALL the way out here to Qatar to make that same 80k TAX FREE, I agree with you 1000%, that's why I left and wont be returning, the quality of life in DC is EXAUSTING, the traffic, the insane amount of cops and speed traps, the "fake bougie black folk to the real bougie white folk all that shyt

 

[Hardest Since MC Ren]
