From Incompetent Engineer to Milking Tech Giants

Update: I have never worked more than one jobs at any point, I think it's unethical. I have been in the industry for around 12 years and realized during my first job that I am an incompetent engineer. I continued to work hard, trying different companies in various countries, but I remained incompetent. Eventually, I stopped caring. All I would do is join a new company, get fired in less than a year—I was fired from around 10+ out of 15 jobs in the last 12 years, mostly due to performance reasons and my inability to navigate office politics effectively. Finally, I mastered the art of milking the 💰 cash cows (tech companies) and the art of interviewing to maximize my total compensation and severance. One of the Faangs is also my victim, I milked the PIP factory. I experienced burnout a few times but came out stronger every time. Happy Ending: I Eventually reached my FIRE number, after returning to my so called third world country. I am now looking for the next opportunity, where I can use my hard earned skills. I don't care about job security or WLB for the obvious reasons.

Reaching FIRE is easy if you move to a “3rd world country”. $1Mil will make you a king in those spots. Takes $3M+ to live comfortably in even the poor area of the US & FAT FIRE

Some of those “third world” Countries are pretty solid now. Ex Thailand
