I want to KMS

[Anonymous No.57176615]

I've been out of a real job for almost 3 years. I apply every day, have a solid resume and website, 7 years experience and multiple strong positions at previous companies in this industry between 1 and 3 years, each.

I can't get a response. I can't get interviews. I can't get anything. I even started applying to things that I'm vastly overqualified for at a 25-50% cut of what I used to make. No call back. No response. Nothing.

I really can't take it anymore. My parents have started helping me with bills, but the pressure and stress coupled with their assistance makes it unironically worse. They can't afford it and neither can I. It's causing me massive depression, most days lately I stay in bed till well into the afternoon, haven't been eating either.

All I have is crypto, it really feels like my only chance. But It's a low 5fig portfolio and this recent flash crash just made me start crying. Nothing I do works, it never goes anywhere. I'm 32 and can't even afford to pay my basic ass bills. Had no breaks in my career until a covid layoff, and haven't been able to get back since.

Instead I work as an uber driver and fill the gaps with bartending. Meanwhile everyone treats me like trash and looks down on me because they're not "real" jobs.

NIGGER I can't get a real job to call me back despite my experience and portfolio of work. Despite being high-performing all my life and always being a good problem solver and extremely hard worker.

I tried my hand at running my own LLC, was able to rake in $22k last year from that kek. Wild success. Best part? Gov wants me to pay $3500 in biz taxes. They can suck my cock, as can every other aspect of the federal government. I'm done and not paying SHIT until I can afford a house, and if that doesn't happen then I guess that's it for me.

What the fuck do I do? I can honestly make it like this for about 3 more months, but if this doesn't change then I'm loading my 9mm and blowing my head off.
Fuck this world.

I was living with my dad, but his trophy bitch gf moved in who's the worst caricature of a plastic bimbo goldigger you could possibly imagine, has no children and starting getting up my dads ass telling him to kick me out despite working full time at a bar and saving AND paying him $1k/mo in rent because "that's what adults do". So now I'm beyond being in the red, have 9k in CC debt and lose ground every month.

>>57176652

rent $1450
car $500

btw NOT paying my taxes and NOT paying my 24k student loan lmao. I have ~30k in crypto. Was hoping to get it close to 60k and then sell and clear all my debts, and pay off a majority of the car, but this flash crash made me really just lose it.

Yes, I know, I told him to but he's a cuck and also fucked up his finances and they have a history so he knows he can hold onto her and not be alone. He divorced my mom when I was 16 and destroyed our family's stability. We used to be very wealthy and travel the world, but he lacks any semblance of wisdom at all and blew it all away. Had nothing when I was born, he peaked at $7M/yr and would always spend above his salary. Now at 65 he works at home depot and drivees uber as well because the tap has run out. I hate this life, feels like a giant joke, had a great childhood though so maybe this is how I pay for it.

Go on upwork or indeed or some other job offering site. Create a resume template and apply to every single job no matter if it has nothing to do with you. There's no penalty for trying. There's literally 100k listings. Unless you're smitten by god it's impossible to not find something. There's wfh jobs there that pay 2x what your faggy local companies do.

>>57176852
I do care about solutions, but I also needed to rant. I don't know how to change careers. I applied for some sales roles, but have no experience in anything related and no one is willing to train me. I'd like to be a firefighter but don't have the resources to do it. That's why I wanted to get some good gains and then use them for this. For SOMETHING. But I can't pay for everything and make progress. I'm underwater and can't even get a basic graphic design job.

In my current situation I can spend more time driving, I hate it and its completely soul sucking but I can make some money that way. In my current situation I can pray that God pumps the hell out of SOLID and I can actually pay off all my debts this year. In my current situation, those are my options as I see it. If you see something else I could do I'd love to hear it. I don't mean to shoot down everyone's contributions and I sincerely appreciate the responses, but I'm just thinking out loud.

You shouldn't be driving more, you should apply for low lever IT jobs. Think of IT support at your local hospital etc. Get your foot between the door, get some experience and certificates then shill yourself after a year for a higher role. Meanwhile you can still be bartending to supplement income.

Just search for IT support vacancies in your region. Then see what is necessary to get the job.

If you can fuck around in python then you can also look for entry data engineering jobs. If you can land one of those your really in for a treat.

>was just too naive.
Yes you where.
Rule nr 1.
Never ever ever ever ever EVER post ANYTHING on ANY social network EVER that can be traced back to you.
Doesn't matter if you are a Trumpet lover or a PedoHitlerBiden fan. Doesn't matter. The western world and especially the US is incredible fractured and divided (divide and conquer, order out of chaos).
Rule nr 2.
Play to your strengths, always. You say you are a graphics designer. Then be the best at that! But as you are well aware, everyone thinks they can do graphics (they can't) and now with Ai, boomers truly think graphics designers are useless (they aren't)...
Rule nr 3.
If I was you, I'd grab some udemy courses during this winter sale. Do c# and js idiot to master courses.
I'll pick up Maya(pirated) or Blender and master them as well as much as possible.
I'll do a top 100 search on steam and find something YOU like, and something YOU enjoy playing and understand.
Then I'll use my newly mastered programming skills together with ChatGPT to make a small indie game with a narrow scope.
I'll also apply for programming jobs (junior) throughout the US and maybe even in Asia and Europe.

I just got back on my adderall perscription, so I can find the motivation once I have a plan. Guess I need to just assemble what that plan is. I'll look at how realistic a switch into IT could be and what I'll need to do.

I live just outside of Phoenix, in one of the nearby metros. I wanted to go into data science for a while when I was living with my dad, studied the course for it on coursera for like 6 months, got really far into it, but then the BITCH Moved in and threw my trajectory off bigtime. Lived in an airbnb for 2 months after I got in a huge fight with her, and then finally got this apartment at the end of last summer.

I usually dont mention this bc I dont want people to know about it, but maybe you should look into becoming a merchant mariner
you can just apply for a TWIC and an MMC and start applying for jobs, you can find more info in the sticky of the maritime general thread (/mg/) on >>>/n/
you work half the year, either 2 weeks on 2weeks off up to 6 months off 6 months off depending on the type of vessel
alternatively you could become an oil rig floorhand, I believe they work similar 2/2 or 4/4 schedules but I dont know anything about it

you need to move NOW

the goal here is getting a room for rent, an apt all to yourself. I haven't paid more than $500 + utilities for rent in like 20 years. ideally you have a online gamer community where you can find roommates there. if not you have to go craigslist. ive lived with a bunch a people from craigslist, its really not that big of a deal. just make it clear you're a computer nerd(if you are), and you aren't expected to socialize. some people expect you to drink beer and watch football with them.

i feel like you can cut down on food costs if you tried. oats + fruit, eggs + frozen veggies, beans/rice/chicken/potatoe is my goto. no drinks - only filtered water from the tap. get a walmart bike and save on gas costs whenever possible.

also im not a financial expert but i think you need to declare bankruptcy and get those debts cleared. just accept you're never going to get a mortgage(you either pay in full or dont get one) and your credit score wont matter

there are always random -40/50% crashes during bullruns. it's just getting started. all major cryptos will go back to their ath and higher in 2024-25.
but again, you have way too many expenses so you either find a job in the usa or gtfo to southeast asia or south america. at least, find a cheaper place or find flatmates.

Anon there are a wealth of jobs out there. Keep applying, if you are struggling to get a job in your specialized field, just get a warehouse job or standard office job. Something so you can earn some cash. If you manage to save some for investing, seriously consider looking into the ALT market as a lot of coins are currently 80% down from their all time high prices. ADA, LTO, TRAC, FIL, and many more. You only get 1 life as you, anon.

[Anonymous No.57177471]

also you need to realize and be prepared for the situation that THERE IS NO BULLRUN. we could very well be VERY close to the cycle top, so maybe we go to like 52k or so and then THATS IT, 90% drawdown from there.

EVERYONE WHO SAYS A HUGE BULLRUN TO 100K+ IS GUARANTEED IS COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT AND CLUELESS. if you actually believe this, try to understand that you might be wrong and any time in the next 12mo could be the absolute top, including right now.

remember when its the actual top, nobody will think its the top, they'll think we go higher. whether thats 50k, 60k, or 70k. at some point people will start waking up to -50% crashes that aren't "just a dip" and soon extend into the typical -90% drawdowns we see time and time again.
