I am 24 years old, graduated debt-free (UWaterloo baby) and I make 300K total comp. I love my job. People on this board make fun of wagies but they are the one to cope with their own inadequacy and failure.

NEETs are worms that should get taken care of by firing squads and mass unmarked graves.

That means you need to think about what employers want: someone productive that optimize their net marginal benefit.

Take steps to become more productive (i.e better at whatever you do) and if relevant prepare adequately for interviews. The more appealing you become (i.e the better you are) the more the power relationship goes in your favor (because you can switch jobs easily and also deliver high added value to the corp).

Basically the best advice I can give you is to start thinking about the economics of all of this. The guy with hiring decision power has someone above him that will look at his quarter results and decide their future. They want to meet their targets for the quarter. Will you help them do that or drag the whole team?

Can you help me write a resume for janny or night shift jobs? I’m not sure how to structure my resume for jobs like those because I’m obviously overqualified.

If i remove all my degrees I’m left with a 10 year resume gap.
