Date: July 5th, 2024 10:05 AM Author: beady-eyed newt hominid Job market is brutal. Several multi-round interviews, case studies with excellent feedback, only to have jobs disappear.
On the positive side, the market has been very supportive. Net worth is like 20% higher than when I got laid off despite no income.
Taking questions, advice, and abuse |

In my experience cold job applications were a complete waste of time so I only pursued jobs through my professional network and Linkedin connections. I doubt anyone actually gets jobs just applying cold through a website. You may get an interview but that's just a waste of time. |

I was once unemployed and completely stir crazy after four weeks. Luckily I found a new job and things got better. I think I was out of work for 14 weeks total. Very troubling time for me. I am wishing you the best of luck, brother. I cannot imagine being out of a job for an entire year. That must be soul crushing. |

It has its ups and downs. I'm in the best shape since college and investing full time has been great. But I also go through periods of insomnia and some days motivation level is 0. Sticking to a routine is probably the only thing keeping me sane. |

Date: July 5th, 2024 11:09 AM Author: big avocado immigrant black woman I'm interested in Texas market, so very different lifestyle afaik. Smaller firms, less money but more laid back. Ideally I'd like to end up at a hedge fund or doing some sort of trading, potentially commodities.
The alternative is lolschool. Would probably just take a bunch of money to go to UT instead of living in a shiTTThole staTTTE for T6. Family is already in TX, I want to be in TX longterm, and am very tired of living elsewhere.
Any thoughts on this?
Tangentially, what persuades you that NYC is worth it? |

|
Date: July 5th, 2024 1:34 PM Author: primrose wonderful gas station blood rage out of all of asia i think the anti-birdshit narrative is most increasing in TH, the thai news has stories everyday abt birdshits behaving badly and TH immigration CLEARLY targets birdshits ive noticed this when i leave and enter country
its over for birdshits, they ruined thailand so they deserve it, shld burn |
|
Date: July 5th, 2024 1:43 PM Author: Pungent vivacious school its so funny. Thais are OUTRAGED anytime a white does anything there (even just insults or a shove) and they literally dont give a fuck about Thais dying if the person who caused the death is Thai.
they are just so mentally insecure. almost all of asia is like this against japan and SG. |
|
Date: July 5th, 2024 2:18 PM Author: primrose wonderful gas station blood rage ljl this is typical birdshit mentality, u cant even fathom the possibility (Which is reality) that birdshits per capita just behave way worse than thais
and anyway its their furking country, they dont have to tolerate some subhuman arrogant obese retards behaving like garbage. they have their own culture not some shit garbagebirdsit culture
seriously TH doesnt need a single birdshit, today 85% of its tourism is from non birdsiht countries |
|
Date: July 5th, 2024 2:23 PM Author: Pungent vivacious school ya man after living there for years and knowing tons of both, i certainly dont know!
i def don't know that a Thai just died in bangkok due to a lazy Thai govt worker not coming up a manhole or when a Thai teacher is murdered outside the school she teaches at in a gang beef while its national news when a farang yells and shoves lightly a Thai doctor visiting phuket. ya man i just dont understand that farang are just as a bad a Thais!
btw, chinese tourism hasnt recovered as china's economy is still shit and will continue to be shit. lol @ hotels that focused on the chinese market |
|
Date: July 6th, 2024 1:21 AM Author: primrose wonderful gas station blood rage yet another birdshit take, after that dood fell in a manhole there was HUGE news and the bangkok city govt had to properly cover ever manhole, the gov actually did something. imagine that in birdshit USa!
the fact is birdshits in TH behave 1000x worse than thais so they get more attention, its proper. TH is for thais not sexpat birdshit trash
and china never depended on foreigner tourism, its just an added bonus. domestic tourism is always gonna be 100x |
|
Date: July 6th, 2024 9:55 AM Author: Pungent vivacious school lol. a thai killed a thai so they had to cover the hole in the road! wow! That def doesnt prove my point that they don't really care when Thais kill Thais! cuz they put words on paper and put a cover over the hole!
you are mentally fucked brother. you cant even read what i wrote about TH was getting hooked/dependent on chinese tourism. |

Date: July 6th, 2024 2:13 PM Author: Talented Chocolate Indian Lodge Genital Piercing I only did 1 year of biglaw, made less money than you probably my entire career, am right around your age, live in a tier 1 mega expensive city, have a family with multiple kids, and my NW is more than 2x hours (with wife being an effective drain on my NW).
