| I've never been in this situation. However, I've speculated about it quite a bit. Embrace this. You'll (ideally) never be here again. Is there somewhere you've always wanted to live? Move there. I'm sure there's an airbnb for ridesharing to get there. If not, start building it. Once you're there you need to find work. Working fast food? That's cash. That's not equity somewhere, that's immediate rent paying and food buying cash. You want this. When you're not flipping burgers, try and find work that is at your technical level. Startups, firms, etc. You probably won't find any at the get go. That's fine. Put an hour a day into this search. The rest of it? Start fleshing out stuff on Github. Don't necessarily take the first job that comes up; flipping burgers and waiting for the right job is better than a sucky job. Final step, start living life. Like I said, I've never been in the situation, but that's the advice I would give myself. Good luck. |
