something like a 3.96 undergrad GPA

ivy league masters degree + scientific publication

first job -> $4500/month for first 3 months (some dumbass 'intern' rule even though i had a masters -> then $6000 -> then $6400/month (insane amount for me, at least IMO)

second job -> $4000/month

third job -> $3600/month

in each one, skills and responsibilities increased

and now i can't get hired 🤷‍♂️

pretty sure i did it all backwards

just remember kids, nothing that society tells you is actually true. everything in the corporate world is controlled by emotions and narratives, not logic, hard work or anything actually valuable

just get that cozy 9-5 and kill all your hopes and dreams before they start

    Second job kind of situation for me. I fully understand what you are going through.
    You are absolutely right about the corporations and thank you for the wake up call.

    At least in the USA, it’s seems like the corporate IT job market is still a bit hot. This is based on just anecdotal evidence and talking with some recruiters. It’s been really hard to find quality folks that actually want to work and not just give presentations on AI.

    Euro is stronger than the dollar right now. You're winning no matter what.
