my friends are all either lawyers, doctors, work in actual FAANG tech companies, or do some high finance VC/IB shit. all of their salaries are at least double mine, all put down payments on houses that are either really fucking nice and/or in really desirable areas, and none of them work crazy hours. i'm happy for them and want them to succeed but i'm literally the bum of the group and i feel like a failure. how do i cope? it's hard to stay motivated at work.

I'm 21 and I made 245k in 2021 off of fantom, then swung it all back into fantom after the crash in 2022, I'm sitting at around 623k right now. I'm still in college and pay zero for expenses (rich parents) When I graduate I'm going to work for my dad in his company and I'll make about what you make next year when I'm 22.

I need to understand who is posting these demoralization threads, and why they are doing it.

I assume the desired effects would be:

>to make people feel bad about their own situation
and
>make people think they deserve more, becoming entitled

I don't understand what the point is though... who is gaining anything from this? is it somebody that no longer needs any money but just wants to cause social unrest? is it the FBI... ? already took my meds btw

in this case i think it's just another discord tranny demoralization troll thread. but when you reach these levels of "success," you do relate to it. i'm at a similar age and salary and find myself lamenting how much money others make. life is a competition and you never stop measuring yourself against your competition -- and comparison is the thief of all joy, as they say.

You like your job ? You make good money compared to the rest of the country. If you have a good life, it’s nothing to be ashamed about op

Life is not about money, and while having more is good, what would you bear to do to have more ? Go work in a fang company if you want, it’s not unattainable. But if you are just sad by comparison…who the fuck cares. After 30, you should focus on not giving a fuck what other «might» think of you.

Seems like you're doing fine and you're just envious of your friends. I make literally the same as a TPM in a fortune 500 and although there are periods of stress, I am content with my job since I am WFH and get to spend time that would be wasted in a facility with my GF and animals. It's a blissful life. We should be grateful for these luxuries. A lot of your friends probably commute and have to interact with normies.

i made it in france from nothing, spent it all and burned all bridges, then went to the us and made it again
america was 1000x easier. no exaggeration, literal 1000x (and not 100x or 10x). access to capital, access to audiences, loose regulations but still a safe environment...
it's your problem if you're a burgerfat born with a silver spoon and never hustled as a result. for that matter, $1k1 per week is DOUBLE the median wage of france, and 5-20x the median wage of most advanced thirdworld countries
money literally rains from the trees in the us. which is incidentally why the burgerborn are fat, incompetent lazy pieces of shit. you lack adversity, you never had to truly work for anything

OP, how much are you actually working day-to-day?

Assuming you don't have any big debts or a large mortgage, I'd recommend grabbing a second job for a while and working both during 9-5. Even if you double up for just a single year it will get you far ahead.

Aggressively pay off your debts or mortgage. Invest/save every extra dollar. I assume you have a decent portfolio at 31 already, so doubling up for another year or 2 should be able to set you up for a semi-retirement position by 35.

At that point, fuck the big house. You have your time.

It's a mix of stagnating and remote work. If you want to keep remote work and increase pay you have to be a senior engineer/consultant/architect. Also IT means nothing. It's like saying "medical" or "business."
