school is usually pretty boring. more importantly, who is in a position to judge you? hint: no one.

go work for 5 startups over 5 years. after that you’ll probably have a better perspective on everything, and some money in your pocket.

if you wanna play real fast and loose, you could even do 5 startups in 2.5 years. this might actually be a better idea, as startups vary wildly.

if you’re having trouble interviewing, build things that are interesting to you, and talk about them in interviews.

if you’re still having trouble interviewing, be open to lower paying (compared to faang) roles. think of it as high pay education rather than low pay employment.

glhf! building is fun, and software is malleable, accessible, and cheap.
