getting into faang is only two components, especially simple as a NG
1. get an interview
2. perform well in the interview
Step (1) is maybe tricky for college students without connections, but top school will help a lot (can I ask which?). If you know (even very tangentially) someone from your school who graduated and works at one, use them to get in the door. Getting in the door is the part that can be less straightforward as a NG.
Step (2) for a NG is really just how well you can solve the problems and code the answers. Communication is important too, so you need to be able to explain why you're doing things, how you're thinking about the problem, the things you're sure of and the things yoe're still trying to figure out. But just doing a couple hundred LC mediums and hards will basically guarantee success. You can succeed with far fewer, too, but if you put in the work (and started somewhat competent, which I'm assuming based on school), you are essentially guaranteed to succeed -- maybe not an offer from every company you apply to, but you'll get at least half.

>why do you have trouble with women?
I don't have trouble in the sense of difficulty getting a date. I'm not some stud or anything but I get dates fine if I want, and sex if I can actually build some sort of passing connection with the woman. But of the 4 first dates I've set up the past 3 months, I backed out all of them same day because I just didn't want to go... The dating process, especially through dating apps, is painful and really wears you out. I haven't had a crush in years. The only feelings I really have left are for my oneitis, who still reaches out every year or so to remind me that we'll never be together. And I haven't had sex that didn't make me feel worse after than before in so long, I don't know if I ever want to have sex again.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

Yeh. I've tried therapy. It was expensive though and I disagreed with my therapist's overall worldview. I've had more success through addiction-related stuff (recovering alcoholic). The whole addiction recovery system largely revolves around a version of stoicism. I guess most people probably don't know this, but most AA meetings end by everyone standing in a circle and holding hands and saying a prayer. A common one is the serenity prayer. I'm not religious, but it makes me cry almost every time

I have a half-serious job working for my family's somewhat large company. My days are split between reading and getting on the occasional call to tell my direct reports what to do. Every once in a while I have a project that I need to do actual work on and just put all my efforts into that until its done.
Its v comfy. Stay mad poorcels.

therapy is often just a bunch of fluffy platitudes for people who truly haven't taken the time to understand themselves and why they're actually fucked up. i'm not saying that all counselling from non-MDs is useless, but after a certain point it's diminishing returns.

you may benefit from seeing an actual psychiatrist, a real professional. if your brain is refusing to cooperate with you no matter what, there's often a real dysfunction going on. especially if you're a person who should otherwise be fulfilled by their life. trying to white knuckle undiagnosed mental illness would be like if you refused to go to your AA meetings and wrestled with sobriety with no support.

I work under the table for a small family farm that sells everything at a farmers market thus doing my part to facilitate the dual system of anarchism until such a day as the statist system undoes itself with it’s own schizophrenic violent coercion. I read in my off time and contemplate/listen to audiobooks while I toil in the field. I also endeavor into various aspects of homesteading and holistic preservation techniques.

oh, and I've tried a few meds. they all destroyed my dick and that made me super depressed when I was with this beautiful girl I met in Prague, possibly prettiest girl I've ever been with, we fucked for a week straight and I came twice. I don't want that to ever happen again. Well, she enjoyed it at least.
I guess the irony is if I hadn't had the meds, we might never have met in the first place. idk. It made me way less anxious, but I didn't feel better. The people around me liked me more, but I didn't feel better. And I was on a very light dose, not way over medicated or anything.
>>17295028
>sounds like you need hope
desu that is exactly what's missing. I've always had "the next thing" to look forward to. even my job was enjoyable until a couple years ago, when I realized, I already have everything (material) I want in life and far more, and that it's unhealthy to continue to strive for more. So I stopped. But I haven't had anything to replace those feelings with -- there is no external thing that is lacking in my life, so there's no easy hope of gaining that thing and everything improving.
I have had some good breakthroughs with my emotions recently, with noticing that sometimes I find myself feeling like I /want/ to me upset or something. And I stop myself, and the feelings go away. I've gotten really good at avoiding negative thoughts and feelings. But I just can't inspire the positive thoughts.
>>17295061
>therapy comments
agreed. I think if I were a less self-aware person, it may have been more useful. But I found I was the one doing most of the analysis in my therapy sessions, and the therapist didn't have much to actually help, he just agreed with my assessments for the most part. Sometimes disagreed, but often that was reflective of a fundamentally different worldview we had that I don't think had anything to do with his competence as a therapist, so I didn't think too much about that. I know I should have tried a few others, maybe still should,xbut it was fucking $300/session, "evidence-based", well-regarded place, and his and my personalities actually worked all right together -- it wasn't like we couldn't get along or I couldn't talk. It just didn't give me anything very useful... (this was a PhD psychotherapist btw, not a random counselor)
>actual psychiatrist
agreed. I need to do that. I've gotten prescribed stuff by GPs but I think it's worth getting a more specialized opinion. Meds have gone pretty bad for me in the past (3 tries) -- always resulted in suicidal and obsessive nihilistic thoughts (even post-25). I'm honestly scared I'll get on the meds and just fucking kill myself. And I'm alone except my dog so I don't even have someone to watch out for me. It's scary. Treatment might end up worse than the disease.

I know I need help but all my attempts to get it have failed.

GPs are happy to hock SSRIs and benzos at people because they think they're silver bullets. a psychiatrist is more likely to be intimately aware of side effect profiles and how they manifest in different people. don't let some retards just out of med school discourage you. your brain needs help, one way or another

Work in a warehouse for minimum wage. Fifty hours this week, with a 45 minute break each day. Today a guy started work who must be at least sixty years old, did an eight hour shift of constant walking and I could tell he was making a lot of mistakes. I talked to him briefly and he was a really innocent, cheerful guy and I started crying in one of the aisles when I saw him in the distance walking around with a wrong item to replace with a confused look on his face. A lot of middle-aged men who are beaten down by life, only earning a tiny fraction more than minimum wage for being on staff and working ten hour days every day and being forced to work weekends and come in early due to the nature of the work. Some guys commute one-and-a-half hours to work on a bus every morning from poor towns. Almost all of them are helpful, good natured and basically good people who likely had no real encouragement from people in their youth and are now stuck in what the manager openly refers to as a dead-end job, albeit in a region where a lot of jobs are dead-end. I genuinely wish nothing but the best for these people and if I ever make over a certain amount of money I will spend the rest on anonymous donations to people like this. The sight of wealthy people spending massive amounts of money on vanity, status-enhancing or garbage in general makes me angry, however angsty and butthurt that makes me seem.

How do you think "those resources" help with any of that? The closest I've gotten so far was flying to Prague, I was going to meet prostitutes there, but I actually met a girl while visiting a museum. We spent the rest of the day together. We climbed up a high tower and looked all around. We went back down and sat on a bench in the slow fading summer light and kissed like teenagers. We walked hand-in-hand throughout the city for a few hours. We got dinner, and walked back to the river. We saw the castle illuminated by lights, and I caressed her breast as we kissed softly but passionately. We spent the next four or five hours walking along the river, stopping occasionally to explore the remaining uncharted territories of each other's bodies. By three o'clock, we were exhausted. We split the bill for a hotel and made love. In the morning she said she had to go, she had a 7am train. I asked if I could take it with her. I did. We spent the next 3 days exploring the strange slavic wasteland that is the former Czechoslovakia. On our last night together, I convinced her to let me fuck her without a condom, telling her Plan B is easily available in Slovakia. I came on her back. Puddles. It was after a week of sex and only one previous orgasm. Fucking Jewish mind drugs. I showed her a picture of her back. We went to a few museums that day. I left by train back to Prague that evening. We said we'd meet again, but we stopped talking a month later. It was that movie, Before Sunrise. Including the whole thing being entirely vacuous and never going anywhere.

But yeah man I’ve done the long distance thing with my now wife and it was tough but we always knew our situation was temporary. 100% tho if this is the real deal and you’re miserable without her it’s worth a shot.

>dude just move for her
I've had 2 opportunities to do this. I didn't either time because she didn't want me to. But she still won't leave me alone. My brother lives like 3 miles from her. I've wanted to go live with him for a while, and he's offered. God, I feel hopeless, man.
>say passive aggressive shit later
no man, I'm not like that. my choices are my own. unless I was actively deceived, it's only me who made a decision.
I'm just not 100% sure it's like you say. I think some of it is actually just her maybe preferring me as an idea than an actuality.
>>17296431
It's too much pressure. It's not like we've lived together and been soulmates for years. We might get together and be around each other 3 months and realize it's just not working. She's worried about the pressure if I move for the relationship, because then she'll feel like a dick if after 3 months she's kinda "meh", so she's less likely to actually end the relationship. And then we'll end up in a longer term half hearted relationship that no one's happy with. Or something like that. Use your imagination.

I still think you should explain this sentiment you’ve posted here. Tell her that you’re willing to take the risk that it ends up not working out because not taking the risk at all is killing you. Very Kierkgaardian dilemma you’re in. You both gotta just take the leap of faith together. Plus your brother IS there so you won’t be all alone. Don’t pressure her into moving in together tho I don’t recommend. Could you move in with your brother first til you get your own place?

Again, I see it as a surfeit of imagination. You say all your friends are in another city, go see them. Or bring them to you for a weekend. Or make some friends where you are now. Do you really even need to be in this city for work? Is there nothing outside of work and shitposting that gives you joy (and no, I don't mean your stupid "oneitis")? Figure it out, man. You have tons of money, use it for something worthwhile for god's sake instead of just hoarding it like some sort of goblin.

Just tell her a version of the truth if it makes you more comfortable. SF and Seattle has you burnt out and you are feeling down and want to be close to family, your brother. This isn’t a lie at all but it takes the pressure off of her. I think either way if you are super down in the dumps and on good terms with your brother moving near him might be a great option. You have the means to do so and it’s wonderful being near family when they are healthy impacts on your life. Isolation is the last thing a depressed person needs.

It's important to realize that there's no secret career that's going to automatically set you for life. I see CS being peddled online getting to the point of le $150k starting nuclear/petroleum engineering meme used to be.
If you're lucky or a 0.01% genius then you'll excel in CS, get paid good money and probably work on some interesting projects. The vast majority of people in CS are middlemen code monkeys competing against 100000 Indians to put together JS or create database, and if you're just doing it for the money then you will hate it 10x more.
Look at every aspect of a career in the field that interests you. Are you making value back vs cost of living such that you can invest? Do you have time to build a family? Is the work rewarding and creative? what are the long term health effects? This anon is obviously hard working and lucky, but don't chase someone else's dream for cash.

Binance leveraged tokens (BTCDOWN). Interest cost equivalent to standard trading cost, unlike traditional leverage, meaning you get more profit. Not as much effort as a standard leveraged short, easier to get in and out of quickly. And most importantly, can't get liquidated on large swings. If you know the right indicators it's easy to swing (even without looking at indicators you can scalp single pennies and still be in profit, which works out well if you can quickly identify points where it crabs and not be greedy). It's pretty simple from here, but BTCDOWN, hold all the way down, at least 100% gain within a month, and then buy in 2 years time with more capital

I've been a neet for five years. I don't know where to even begin with myself. I don't know how people get jobs and just live that cycle, let alone get educated and actually make a lot of money. It just feels like people are meant to be one way and they don't have any choice in it.

You mean the person that was eating dirt in his homeland, troubled by goat-fucking-tier, backward practices? That same one that comes to a land that does not belong to and demands both money and a change in culture (that’d make his new country more similar to that disaster of a nation he’s nostalgic about)?

The majority of them since that’s the natural consequence of mass importation of another culture whether they intend that or not. If you think you can insert a large number of Russians into Vietnam and have no Russianizing influence, then I don’t know what to say.

>Even Elon Musk doesn't have the money to do that.
I think about this often. BAP brought it up first I think. African warlords are more free than Bezos and Musk. They can't have a harem of 200 young women and they can't take whatever they want through sheer power of force. They are completely dependent upon the system in which they operate, whereas the average African warlord or pirate lives outside of it and does as he pleases in a much more meaningful way. Us NEETs can strive towards a similar fate by disconnecting from the system as much as possible: making a bit of money in passive income online, moving to the third world, and enjoying the freedom even if material conditions aren't perfect. You can move to Romania and just bribe the cops and do what you want.

Until they get deposed or killed lol. No American (especially not the kind of American who frequents /lit/) can just move to Romania and become successful in the criminal underworld or whatever. The other criminals would eat you alive, assuming bribing the cops even works in the first place.

I never said it was fair for europe to accept refugees when the US is the main aggressor and I agree that the US should take the responsibility for their actions (lol one can dream) but let's not pretend that europe is innocent (uk and france especially, don't test me on this). But then again other arab countries accepted more refugees per capita than europeans, despite being so much poorer and on the brink of total collapse (look at lebanon).
Also, just as a sidenote, capitalism is at fault for this. read lenin.
