feeling stuck and depressed

I have been working as a software developer (C++) in an unknown company in The middle east, it has always been a dream of mine to live abroad(especially in the usa) and I want to work at one of the fang companies because frankly it will facilitate that as you know but in order to do so I have to work at my nooks and crannies of my free time in problem solving (leetcode grind) meanwhile my programming languages are kinda limited i am not strong at either at web/mobile development and this job i am working at seems like one of the fewest fits for me and its salary is low AF and it kinda sucks environment wise .. so how can I get the f out of here ..please kindly advise i am 24 and i feel like i have never lived a single day of my life happily..

Why not do a master's in the us?

I would love to, any suggestions? I have around 13k usd and I have been hearing a lot about Maharishi masters program and how easy it’s to make it to the USA through it

If it's too easy, it's eye brow raiser too. There are many day 1 cpt universities. Many of them have been caught. Herguan, tvu to name a few. If they tell you, study for a week and rest of semester go do whatever you want, you have good chance of deportation and being barred from US for 10 years. I have no clue about maharishi University (sounds a lot like visa mill). Your course work should be rigorous. DHS ran a honey pot fake University for several years and deported every student in the University it ran. Please be vigilant.

You are just a kid. Have fun and do things which interest you. This FANG and TC shit has gone out of control. Don’t believe everything posted in blind. If you are still interested plan and prioritize the process. It does not need to be a one month target but prepare for a longer time. Good luck.

Ok guys I didn’t really wanna say this because I have never said it before .. I am gay and where I come from you can be put to jail for it and unfortunately also I will be losing the closest and dearest people to my heart once they find out .. I have lived in the closest ever since i was 14 .. always felt different and wrong for feeling what I feel .. I have never been in love or had a close friend who accepts me for who I am so if you got a mean comment please spare me your f***ing time because I didn’t choose this I wish I wasn’t gay ..I feel like most of my life I have been rebellious against my own well being and mental health . And I want to set a plan to focus on my own happiness .. to get the fuck out of here and live my life openly and have people who don’t carry prejudice .. this is the community I have always dreamed of and if I can’t have that I will be like what I am today dead inside with no aspiration in life

US would probably be the best place to be in. Your 2-3 years of hard work has a potential to make you all happy and bring your dreams true. Study for GRE, get into a good University, study well and get into FAANG. Have bigger picture in mind, don't just look for quick solutions which have a lot of risk.

And I wake up at 6 and get from work around 7 or 8 for the shittiest salary .. I have no close friends .. I always put a wall in fear anyone notices .. I don’t even have the motivation but I know it’s only me who can get me out of this situation and a plan is what I came here for to have
