Hi everyone. I go to a top feeder elementary school and I’m hoping to get multiple offers from FAANG with >300k TC. I'm trying to transfer to a target middle school soon so I can work my way into an elite prep HS -> HYPS -> FAANG. I just got a piggy bank but a few friends already have internships lined up and I don't want to fall behind. Trying to grind LC and browse Blind in my spare time but my parents limit my internet to 1 hour a day. I've lined up a few options for next summer: Option 1: Local public sector position: I got a mail route in my neighborhood and dad just taught me how to ride a bike so I'll be able to leverage that. Terrible resume value, afraid I'll be pigeonholed into government work and never make it in tech/SV. Early hours aren't great (5am standup) but might be good discipline in preparation for LC grinding when I get older. Non-tech. Slow career growth. Option 2: Startup biz dev: Noah from down the street has an older brother with a 3D printer. He makes custom Fortnite figurines and sells them. Needs a guy to help expand to other playgrounds. The travel is a perk but concerned about risky stock options and comp. Non-tech again. Can’t get anyone to let me write code but can get my foot in the door at a potential unicorn here. I'm getting a tired from my sugar crash and need to nap soon but any advice would greatly appreciated. TC 0 with 0 YOE. Ran out of internet for today so I will reply tomorrow. Thanks, Timmy
TC 0? GTFO
10/10 spot on
That's hilarious, made my morning
This was beautiful
I know 5 year olds working in FANG already. U really need to pull ur sock up
Honestly your chances are pretty null if I might be direct. By the time I was in my mother's womb I had already solved ALL medium difficulty leetcode and was jumping onto my (my mom's really since I've done it all on her resources) third failed startup. Your best bet is to spend every waking hour of your playtime signing up for newsletters you'll only read for the first two weeks and start building connections on LinkedIn by posting cryptic and buzzwordy but meaningless status updates. Anyway, best of luck, maybe you'll be as good as me someday. TC: $15 monthly allowance Bonus: random stuff under the tree at Christmas RSU: 2000 V-Bucks over 4 years
Wish I hadn’t read this because now I’m feeling terrible about myself. No allowance. What is the vesting schedule on the v-bucks? All my friends play but my mom won’t let me 😡
The fact that you mention a mail route shows your age
Get rid of your parents, they’re clearly holding you back!
Ideally, you should try and get multiple competing offers from other top feeder elementary schools to boost your chances. Repeat this every four years and you will be well on your way.
Should I tell the admissions office at my target school that I’m interviewing with other top schools to speed up my process? What if they ask for an offer letter?
0/7 Tried too hard
Woulda been top kek if it was just the first paragraph
