I recently found out another family friend joined Google from a startup, adding to the long list of acquaintances and former coworkers that have gotten offers in the last year. Seems like I’m the only one in my friend group that doesn’t have an offer from a top tier/high TC company now. The worst part is when I vocalize this and get the "but Amazon is 1T now!!" Response from them as if my 36 RSUs are even usable to me today and the other person would ever join Amazon in a million years. It just feels so fake and condescending. Meanwhile I’m working on a team that builds a product nobody uses and don’t have the stamina or mental clarity to leetcode when I come home while hearing my coworkers bitch about how bad Amazon is at home. How do I stop feeling so sad? I upped my dose of my SSRI recently and started working out more. But I still feel so empty and worthless. How do I fix this?
Be more jelly about your CEOs Mansion and be miserable for the rest of your life
By joining them lol
Stop taking SSRIs.
Surround yourself with friends at mid to bottom tier companies so that you start to seem better by comparison, and then also start to act like you’re 100% committed to Amazon and set up a shrine to Supreme Overlord Bezos, and in time, you’ll come to see that Amazon is the greatest company on the planet
Therapy.
Comparison is the death of joy (Mark Twain)
So, you are the one to vocalize it and when they try to make you feel better, it feels condescending. Don’t you see the problem right there? It’s all about your insecurity. Whiny idiot.
@Softie4–stop being a negative troll
I am sorry but I have zero compassion towards certain types of people. I reserve that for the ones I think really need it. The OP is at Amazon with a thriving stock pumping up the TC everyday or so. Sorry. Instead, how about you stop being a positive troll?
