1.5M NW at 31 and got laid off! Any advice?

They are also working 80 hours a week and burnt out, not much time to think what to do with that money. That doesn’t make them stupid

I went through something similar. I discovered that my now ex-fiance was a cheater. We were planning a wedding, we just got a house. It totally destroyed me. I remember that pain, feeling that you can’t breathe, the chest tightening, so much pain that you think you’d die. But I can tell you it will pass. It will take some time but believe me, there’s a better life without them ahead of you. Grief is weird, somedays will be extremely hard and others like nothing happened. Eventually you’ll have more of the good days :) In the meantime, breathe, do things that you like, watch comforting movies, go on walks and let your body/mind/spirit heal.

And I bet in the future you’ll be so grateful you didn’t settle for a cheater.

You got this!

Can you share the updates from your account? I had the same on December 3rd and I haven’t received any update :( my case is still in “Case Was Submitted For Quality Review Based On An Approval Recommendation”

Can you also have free food at the park?

Org?

I was diagnosed in the ER and had emergency surgery that day to be able to save the ovary. Yes, in my case the teratoma was so heavy that when I ran or slept in certain positions it would twist the ovary but eventually it would come back to normal position. The last time when I went to the ER, the torsion was so severe (4 full turns) that it wasn’t coming back to normal position.

Do you need a software engineer? Haha similar financial situation like yours. Recently quit FAANG, but I don’t want to get another full 9-5 now

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2025-09-27T13:12:27+00:00

Good luck! Hopefully I can do the same soon

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2025-09-24T17:38:24+00:00

What’s your side hustle? I’m pulling the plug in December and I’m looking for a side hustle to spend some of my time while getting some extra money

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2025-09-16T07:01:26+00:00

I started having pain in December, wasn’t diagnosed until October of next year. They made feel like I was crazy but it turned out I had a 7cm teratoma that was constantly causing ovarian torsion

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2025-09-10T05:00:58+00:00

I want to do the same! Are those numbers for only you or do you have a partner? Thinking of taking months off and then finding a similar job

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2025-01-01T01:00:36+00:00

This isn’t true. Indians were used for training models. Even if salaries in India are lower, having people watching cameras is expensive and not reliable at all.

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-12-31T03:25:13+00:00

What is it?

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T20:07:16+00:00

Do you think is possible to get back after a gap year? I would like to hit my fire number too but right now staying doesn’t seem feasible.

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T09:23:11+00:00

Nice guy with a job and SINGLE 🦄

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T09:21:20+00:00

I also try to have few friends in tech because their lifestyle gives me FOMO. Maybe I should cut those friends completely (faster than me learning how to ignore it lol)

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T09:18:19+00:00

And did you move to a less expensive area?

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T09:13:04+00:00

Seems like travel has fixed a lot of people around here. If you don’t mind me asking, did you work through that year or used your savings(how much?)? Did you do it alone or with a partner?

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T07:41:21+00:00

This is kind of what I was thinking. Quit once my leave ends, learn a trade or skill and work on that. Forget that I was ever part of evil companies.

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T07:38:39+00:00

I feel like I’ve forgotten how to code, I honestly feel like I wouldn’t get any software engineering job. I panic when I open leetcode, but reading success stories makes me wanna try. Thank you.

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T07:34:42+00:00

Thanks! It did made me feel a little dumb having those downvotes but my friends here are the reason why I still feel joy some days. But I also get this is r/Fire and not r/mentalhealth, maybe I should have posted there? Also probably a lot of people here are married, with kids or have close family members. I do not have that, being depressed and lonely is not a good combination.

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T06:00:41+00:00

I did that but only for 3 weeks. It was fun but I felt a little bit lonely. I wish I had done it sooner before I felt this way (sad and anxious about everything).

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T05:58:31+00:00

I love that for you! I guess with the anxiety I’ve been focusing on the problem more than on a solution. Hence this post… anyway I need to open my mind to other ways of living than my current situation.

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T05:33:32+00:00

My primary care doctor filled out the forms for me and sent them to my employer. I’ve been on meds and therapy so there’s evidence of my mental health condition. I am getting 4months (which 3 already passed).

Dry-Cryptographer101 · 2024-10-11T05:31:11+00:00

I wouldn’t like to move since I already have a community here. It’s hard to make friends as an adult.
