System is fucked up. The core reason is hiring managers and companies are not willing to test meritocracy. Instead they are looking for elite universities in resume and how that resume surfaced through “trusted” or pre-vetted channels. You are expected to be “warmed up” by some insider as if you are pitching to a VC firm. WTF!!!

Starting a business / algo trading / niche blogging will give you better mileage compared to the drama described above.

Are you editing your resume to get through the HR filters? You need to match at least half of the "keywords" HR uses to screen resumes. If the job asks for "analysis" and, you need to have "analysis" somewhere in your resume, word for word. Else, your resume goes into the trash heap.

HR doesn't know jack shit about the jobs they're hiring for. They either use a robot to filter for keywords or they manually filter resumes based on what "sounds" good. If your resume has all the "keywords" you have in there, then you have a good chance of getting a call back and speaking with the actual hiring manager.

>>12288078
there are thousnads of ways to earn pasiv income you have to inform yourself what fits you. without decent information, you wont.

one good thing over the years has been investing in dividend paying stocks that have been paying riseing dividend for more then 25 years. this is very long term tho.

short term it doesnt realy matter. you could buy a fucking garage for 12000k and rent it for 50 - 80$ that would be pasiv income. there is no right and wrong answer here whatever works for you. do your homework and you will find something.

but the scale down part is very important too dont forget that. if you are able to safe 1.5k a month for the rest of your life and invest it in the aformentioned stocks you will have no problem ever.

Save 2k a month, after a year you should have 24k. Find a friend with another 16k. With 40k total, you have enough to put down 20% on a mortgage for 1-2 apartments. Rent them out. Learn basic home maintenance skills (painting, replacing a bulb, putting down carpet) so you can do maintenance when the tenants call. Make sure you get good tenants - check their details. Advertise around for more investors, use their money to repeat. Within a few years you'll be doing administration stuff and have your own guys for the maintenance stuff.

Assuming you're in a Western country and not in bumfuckville nowhere, calm the fuck down. Every place basically shuts down for Christmas and New Years holidays. Shit, even people who are "working" are usually doing nothing but gabbing about what they got for Xmas. Wait until a week into January at least.
