...but I missed all the pumps. Worried that I'm never going to make it now and stuck with wage-slaving and sucking the cock of vanguard for 8% annual returns.

invest in silver junior miners if you believe in silver as they've routinely gone up 100-150x during a bull market. Btc may 10x again, so maybe worth having both.

I'm doing fine on 40k

It's about ~£2400 a month after tax and pension etc.

Rent is £700 a month as I flat share.

I cook everything myself so food is less than £150 a month.

I save a minimum of £1000 each month, in the first year of full-time working. I call that comfy for someone who is young and single.

Is it more morally bankrupt to work for big tech or a bank? Can't decide.

I am steering my career towards computer security. Pays well, you get to do interesting things and everyone needs this. Also, you can protect yourself on more basic level online.

Philosophy from Oxbridge.

Work for small fintech company. I'm self-taught CS stuff and there was a big overlap with CS and my topics on Philosophy, so it's not a drastic change.

I did however have to apply to an absolute shit ton of jobs before someone gave me a chance to show that I knew as much as the average CS grad.

Make your money and donate your riches to absolve your sins

I was thinking of going into cybersecurity, but it looks like companies see it as cost and if there is ever a downturn, there is a risk of those jobs being cut.
