i am 20 years old and just started a 9 to 5 job as a software engineer, basically sitting in a cubicle staring at a screen all day trying to fix bugs that crusty indians send me. today was my first day. job pays 65k. i currently have 25k in savings. i also have a part time job that pays 16.50 an hour for up to 20 hours a week as a remote software developer. i think i would rather kill myself or be homeless than do the 9 to 5 thing ever. im an on the verge of extreme insanity and i cant take it anymore. is it stupid if i send my boss an email right now saying i quit? i know its a dick move to have wasted all their time but i just cant take it anymore
also buy xlm
Daniel Bell
im graduating soon in the same field and im honestly wondering whether its actually worth spending time coding for salary when i could be researching coins
Jason Miller
Put that 25k in crypto. Don't quit your job until you get crpyto rich just in case.
David Robinson
>just started >can't take it anymore grow a pair
Wyatt Rodriguez
well i wasnt referring to the job when i said i cant take it anymore, i was talking about life in general. i guess im just gonna kill myself
Joshua Sullivan
i wish i could get a job in the field myself
graduated last year from a good US university with a decent gpa and acceptable github and haven't been able to find shit mostly because my city has fuck all entry level jobs/junior for software
dont be ungrateful for what you have is my point
Andrew Nelson
when people say stuff like that all i hear is "hey you should feel lucky, your dirt pile is much better than my dirt pile"
Juan Gutierrez
you shouldn't soduku bro, with 25k you can make enough off crypto that you'll never have to work again fairly easy.
Asher Collins
the point is it's not a dirt pile
start looking for another job in a different field if you hate is so much and dont quit until you secured another offer if anything
unless you're fucking retarded enough to quit without a back up because you're a little bitch that cant put up with working 8 hours a day
Cooper Harris
i really dont think so, even if i catch several moon missions im still gonna have less than 100k and thats fucking nothing
Jayden Sanchez
its not so much that i have to work for 8 hours, it's that i have to sit in a chair and stare at a screen for 8 hours. its just no good. its also the fact that i have no time whatsoever to do what i actually want to do. its just go home, eat, go to bed, start over
Luis Wilson
>not trading crypto on the clock while making $30/hr Why would you even? You can go weeks underperforming at a job like that before someone catches you.
Adrian Cooper
24yo 9 to 5 software eng here get used to it kid
Liam Moore
Proven PnD group here. Just pumped STU to 300% profit. Next pump in 43 hours.

i have had bad experiences trying to day trade. making a consistent profit day trading i think is impossible. also i think IT monitors internet use
Tyler Sanchez
Had a job as a middleschool "principal" kind of thing, dunno how its called in bongspeak, but basically I had to patrol hallways and make sure that those spoiled little shits didnt murder each other or do stupid shit and kill themselves. I quit the same day, the job just wasn't for me. Just in the first couple of hours they figured out that I wasn't really a tough dude and it was all just an act and they start ignoring me pretty quick.
So here I am, trading crypto comfily at home instead.
William Hernandez
4x is easy in this market. and you don't that much just buy a cheap house and eat ramen noodles for the rest of time.
Elijah Martin
what did you expect from working in software engineer other than working with computers at least 8 hours a day?
Mason Kelly
literally die
one thing is i want to save up a lot of money because i want to buy land in NH and build my own house there by myself.
Carson Young
this is not a mccuck job, OP. Don't burn bridges.
Alexander Nelson
ya this was my own mistake. i should have just skipped college and gotten a construction job or something, at least i would be outside and active with a job like that
Alexander Phillips
Hi OP, I had $4,300 in crypto on Dec 21 and Today I have $14,000, it's retardedly easy to make money in this market if you have a brain. it takes some getting used to but you'll learn fast. i think your goal of buying land in NH and building your house there is entirely achievable if you don't give up, this is nearly free money especially starting with $25,000 you can make quite a bit in a few months.
Gabriel White
That's pretty good, what should I invest in right now? I'm a poorfag and only up 50%
Oliver Flores
ya what did you invest in? youd have to be retarded to not be making significant profit in this market but everyone sounds like they're making 100%+ and ive only made like 50%
Joseph Rogers
>no social or outdoors life No wonder you're messed up. Is not the job, it's the lack of meaning.
Get a hobby, preferably something outdoors.
Ian Turner
wrong assessment completely. i have something im really passionate about and want to put 100% of my energy but i have 0 energy and 0 time when i get home from work
Evan Brown
If that is your outlook on life then you should at least take that 25k to Vegas and let the roulette table decide your fate.
Ian Thomas
ICX is the main source of my gains I bought in like from $2-$4, the key is to get ahead of the masses, be the smart money user. ICOs will make you bank too if you pick good ones, I've never done an ICO but it's the best way to get good crypto for insanely cheap prices. They x100 within the first weeks if they are quality assets. My next big purchase will be Wanchain (WAN) when it drops. LINK had big news today and looks very promising too, and its still cheap af.
Adrian Lewis
Then quit the big job and stay at the little one. Or find out why you're so depressed. Or find a way to slack off and toughen up. I worked at jobs I hated since I was 13. I distracted myself from the tedium by daydreaming. Maybe some music or something physical can distract you until you get a year or two in and then leave.
Ayden Morales
idk i kinda gave up on figuring my mental health out a while ago, ive been severely depressed for most of my life and my heart rate has been 90+ bpm for years now
Caleb Torres
Live a frugal life putting all your earnings into crypto. I started with $5000 in 2016, through trials and tribulations I now have $320,000
Aiden White
>ICX is the main source of my gains I bought in like from $2-$4, the key is to get ahead of the masses, be the smart money user. I try, but all the obscure coins are on obscure exchanges and there are lot of shitcoins you have to sift through
Bentley Watson
I highly recommend looking into Jordan Peterson's Self Authoring Program, it's very cheap and you can do it by yourself and it's been tested and proven to help people with issues like lack of direction, depression, anxiety and all sorts of stuff, it's beneficial for anyone desu
>selfauthoring.com
Tyler Powell
i dont have a lack of direction and jordan peterson is a retard
Joseph Hill
This. Appreciate having an income and basic survival, accept that your life's shit and force yourself to keep going. Meanwhile buy that xlm as you were gonna. With time xlm will go up and you'll gain work exp. Thanks to that you have the spare money and the skills to switch to a better job with flexible hours
Joseph Hernandez
Lol, getting paid 65k a year to sit in a cubicle and you want to an hero over it. Your quality of life is in the top .1% of all human life. No wonder white people are dying out.
John Ortiz
Edward Feser is the next stage after JBP
Brayden Cook
Thanks for this.
Juan Ross
you seem the type to shoot down / reason away advice, and i've been there. but you can make it work. lie and say you have to take care of your mom with multiple sclerosis on wednesdays or some shit. take long breaks in the bathroom. eat outside for lunch when it isn't 20 degrees. if you're going to quit anyway, or just be miserable, you don't have to always be a great worker. maybe make a good impression for a month or two before you start slacking and asking for favors. put money away and invest it as fast as possible and maybe you can quit and just do occasional freelance work and day trading for the rest of your life in, like, 1-3 years.
and look into the mental health thing. psychiatriast, psychologist, or counselor, whatever is least work and money for you. it'll help. and your life might seem bad now but when you're sharing a house with 4 people you don't know and buying peanut butter with ebt and working at walgreens it'll be worse. trust me it can be worse.
Isaac Cruz
>house with 4 people you don't know and buying peanut butter with ebt and working at walgreens it'll be worse. trust me it can be worse. any greentext worthy stories?
Andrew Ward
Do it, I'm graduating soon and I'll take it. Where you located at?
Luke Carter
>jordan peterson is a retard sjw brainlet detected. maybe you should just off yourself you dumbfuck
Thomas Martinez
Literally work for a year and put as much money as you can into real crypto projects (DYOR and thats not the symbol for a foin). Be worth 5 million and do whatever the fuck you want. You have it made and fuck you.
Christopher Peterson
nah, i think it's the bottom .1%. You're basing quality of life on safety/security/money. that's not quality of life to me, that's kind of the opposite
the reason why i shoot down people is because they are wrong or because ive already thought about what they are thinking. im also not really the kind of person to slack off, i like to give what im doing 100%. also i spent 1000 dollars a few years ago on meds and therapy and psychiatry (multiple different psychiatrists i tried) and it was just one big money making scam. fuck psychiatrists. they ask you if youre depressed and they dont even ask you if you exercise or have friends or fulfill your basic biological needs, they just say here take these pills
Jose Anderson
I need to move to America, I'm 22 an entry level software engineer in the UK and my salary is ≈ $45k.
What state are you in my guy? Hang in there and just graft it out for 6 months and see how you feel then. Nothings easy man.
Easton Brooks
nah im not an sjw, i voted for trump. jordan peterson is just apart of this blogpost "10 simple tricks to turn your life around" hey make a calendar n stick to it! dumb advice bs culture.
ya thats what i was thinking of doing when i first took the job. just work for 6 months to a year to raise enough money so i can make big bux investing

If you can't stand it, then find a way to escape.
You're on Veeky Forums, dude. Cryptos are exploding all the time. Fuck—if a borderline NEET like me can turn 2k into 30k through shitcoins and LINK in a few months, then you—a software engineer—can probably do the same thing with much larger figures at least twice as good. Don't spend years doing something that you hate. Don't even spend days doing something that you hate, unless you absolutely must. THIS is the time to buy and hold, and buy and trade.
also buy LINK. seriously—if you aren't holding any LINK, then plan on getting the fuck on. high volatility right now; expect at least a few more 20% dips that come with increasing price, and if we somehow don't see any further increments in price, then *maybe* a drop down to $0.80 (accompanied with one of those typical huge spikes downward that recovers almost immediately). don't game on that unless you're fucking loaded with testosterone
also this china shit with bitcoin—again—is making me think that china has plans for integration in store with their other domestic cryptos in other words, it's probably a good idea to hold some vechain, at least to pick up on a 1.5-2x during the inevitable hype from the rebranding during the middle of this month also, it looks like it's being accumulated like mad by whales
Joseph Torres
Can never see Jordan the same way after Sam Harris destroyed his anus, also he's Stefan's bitch.
Brandon Gutierrez
Yeah nah. I work at a steel mill and do side work (labor) some nights and weekends. Some days I can't even walk hardly I'm so sore. I'm out in the weather everyday and I live in a fucking van. Kys
Jaxon Edwards
45K gbp is 60k usd
???
Daniel Bailey
i think he meant 45k usd
Alexander Diaz
what kind of software developer position is still in a cubicle??
Carter Flores
i don't blame you for being disenfranchised with psychiatrists, few are good. some meds work for some people, others benefit from talk therapy or cbt, but that's also dependent on therapist. it can be hard to find a good one. it's worth trying again though.
early 20s are rough chuckles for a lot of people, just grind away some life XP. do some shit just to do it.
don't buy XP though
Julian Adams
He converted to USD. Brits also get eviscerated by taxes.

>i have a bad life, and even though you do too, you can't complain
you try expending intellect for morons while your brain rots away from mental illness nobody ever said that your life wasn't shit all our lives are shit, brother!!!!! your situation is exactly as it is, no better, no worse, but BAD TO BE S/URE
this is a tolerant thread.......... we all tolerate everything.................. please......please respond, bitch....................
