so we believed that we could think outside of the box and hence we became hackers/ engineers. Now I don’t want to follow the trend of leetcode/ hoping around to another rat race. What’s the way that you can surpass yourself everyday, running at the speed of light and eventually get out of this game? Again, the question is about how you break the general rules of software engineering career, not how one seeks promotion/ higher TC at some other places. There’s gotta be a way: hardworking—> freedom TC: 150k
Your happiness is the most important thing. It’s then a matter or reconciling your expectations against reality. Happiness is reality minus expectations. Find a set of expectations you can be happy with then get out of the race.
Marry someone making 300k+, bank for a few years, and escape to your hacker paradise Join a startup you find interesting with remote work and move to Thailand, starting next month. Never deal with big tech again, live large Delete Blind, move to the middle of nowhere, live like a monk, do some ridiculous 4 hour work week kind of small business, win the game Be a founder, get rich or die trying
