Going to work is a strrretch. Don’t feel like working for even a minute I know I can get it to FANG etc, (have been close on 1 occasion each with G and FB), but don’t feel like studying a bit ! I plan to interview at G/FB/Amazon in 2 months but at this rate it’s a goner. Thinking of FANG because “hopefully” it will at least take care of the money issues And then the endless immigration woes! LC : 175 TC : 200 Yoe : 17
For me, getting in was the easy part. WLB and expectations are high. If you're burnt out I would suggest don't apply. Take time off or switch profession.
Burnt out not because of work, but because of the strong inclination to not work , I hardly work for 2-3 hours a day and somehow manage the deliverables
Mood
Lol I know that feeling too damn well

Go into sales
Getting into FANG is easy, if you’re in a hectic team, surviving is difficult. Most people think it is the other way around
Take some time off and think about what you actually want. Will finally getting the job at FANG really be the reason you become happy or is it just to satisfy your ego?
I know what I want to do eventually (entrepreneurship). Immigration hassles make it tough. One benefit of getting into FANG - it will open doors with respect to funding etc. in the future
Bay Area?
No , Eastern US
High CoL area? Because you shouldn't have money issues with 200k TC unless you're just throwing money away.
