At what point do you just give the fuck up amd realize no amount of hard work and ‘pulling yourself by the bootstraps’ will ever result in any success in this industry unles youve already been set up from the beginning?
I come from literally nothing, an unwanted child from two hateful parents, homeless at 12, working since that age, putting myself through college on a scholarship (in civil engineering and hating ot but couldnt seitch because i couldnt afford to) then moving on to teach myself how to build websites, then design mobile apps, games, digital advertising, analytics, every fucking thing and I STILL dont measure up. 20 years of this and Ive not moved up in title for 12 of them. constantly laid off by companies. No interest in companies that are actually doing well.
now i deal with panic attacks when thinking about my future. Im not excited or motivated anymore. im just terrified. im sitting here with chest pains working a temp job in my mid 40s frustrated and angry with myself and afraid of being homeless again. I never even considered having a family because Ive struggled to support myself. My own family hasnt had anything to do with me in years.
im sorry for the rant but im completely demoralized. i just want a tiny bit of stability, not having to look for a new job every fucking 9 months. and with a possible recession coming, ive lost hope.

I should be able to find you something in my org.
I’m sure you will be fine
I would say focus on your interview skills.
People talk a lot about FAANG and high Salaries, but thats not all
I would look at all options including Indian Service companies like Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, HCL. These companies pay decently well and are stable. I am guessing you are a US citizen and they are always looking to hire Citizens to improve their employee ratio, use it to ur advantage
When the client project ends..the consulting companies can ask you to move anywhere !!
