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..
I really feel like I am failing big time due to my depression I come home from work and I feel like doing nothing at all.. I need to get out of here ASAP
Fuc.. I have never lived a single day in my life happily after joining faang (amazon to be precise).. before that it was all good even at 1/4th TC
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 itâs 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. Donât 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.
Kid but psychotic kid
I donât go out I feel so out of place here .. there is so much injustice in the Middle East .. itâs suffocating .. It sucks
Ok guys I didnât 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 didnât choose this I wish I wasnât 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 donât carry prejudice .. this is the community I have always dreamed of and if I canât 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.
Thanks mate for your positive comment .. I have been working for almost 2 years now .. if I focus on leetcode and get referral .. is there a big chance a company could sponsor my visa?
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 donât even have the motivation but I know itâs only me who can get me out of this situation and a plan is what I came here for to have
You are depressed. Please seek help.
No one can help me here .. only help I can get is out of here
