I was interviewed in 2020 and got two offers. One was a really cool company, doing lots of stuff I wanted to be involved in, the other was just meh. I went with meh because they never called or emailed after hours or on weekends, and seemed very nice. 2.5 years later I’ve been promoted twice and got 3 raises. My colleague who got my dream job is still in the same position as before

I have a very similar story. Came into some money at 25 and basically spent the next ten years blowing through it and having to take on menial jobs just to make ends meet. I was depressed as well, barely getting out of bed some days, and then found myself almost homeless at 35.

My parents never taught me any skills, just threw money at problems with no real solution. I suggest you learn something practical. And definitely take some life skill classes (you can find free ones on YouTube).

I ended up going to a boot camp and learning a new skill. Now I’m a professional in the tech industry and I’ve already been promoted three times in the last two years. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to come back up
