Should I start working?
my parents want me to stay home as long as possible (they’re not sick or anything, we just get along well) before I go to work. So far (graduated about a year ago) i’ve been really enjoying it. As soon as I graduated I interviewed at two companies (Adobe and a startup) and got offers from both (TC 140k and 100k+”70k” respectively) which I turned down to stay home and do whatever I wanted. I had also made it to the onsite round with google by this point but told them I changed my mind about looking for work. If it’s true that google lets new grads hold onto an offer for up to a year though then I should consider getting back to them. I’m 24 y/o, and my parents are wealthy enough and more than happy to (for now, at least) sustain me indefinitely at a pretty high standard of living. What I would get from working is my own place (rather than just my own room), more peers, and I could buy my own car (no room at my parents’ house for an extra car). I could also call myself financially independent, but most of my friends wouldn’t really care and most have already told me I’m really lucky to have this opportunity to not work. I suppose there are also cool, big, scalable projects I could work on only if I worked at one of the tech giants, but I don’t know how lucky you have to be to find a team/work you really enjoy, so I don’t wanna count on that. Is anybody else who was in a similar situation grateful they started working even though they didn’t have to? Any regrets? I’ve been thinking about reconsidering my options once I turn 26 since then my parents’ benefits (healthcare) will stop covering me, but perhaps I should start sooner? TC: 0
Go back to school for another degree like a MS or PhD.
I would never ever recommend taking a break at this age. This is the age where u have the maximum learning curve. No matter whatever field u want to take up. Dont take a break. It will break your continuity and make it tougher to get back on track. Taking a break later on in life is better
😂😂😂😂wtf go do something you like then?
HAHAHAHA go be a fucking adult dude you’re not 18 anymore
Get your own money. You never know what'll happen if you don't have your own methods to support yourself.
I have about 100k saved away (in FAANG stocks actually) from my past internships. Having a job offer on hand that I could wait on for a while (like google for 1yr) would be a lot better though.
You only live once, but at the same time. You should be a little less selfish and reduce burden on parents. You are fully capable of supporting yourself or at least contributing to household expenses. But yes to answer your other question. I have 2 year contract to return back to FAANG after I finish school. I know google does 1 year for interns from a friend.
If I felt I was becoming a burden to my parents it would be a different story altogether (and things may change), but when I had those offers on hand they insisted I should turn it down and not be in such a “hurry” to enter the workforce. Does Google do 1 year only for returning interns?

Someone’s jealous.
Don't mind this post. He or she is probably just jealous and somewhat prideful if his work
It sounds like you need to read the book “The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter--And How to Make the Most of Them Now”
Do something that u r really passionate about...not having to work is always an option
