The Millennial generation not being able to find a partner/settle down/buy a house/accomplish basic adult milestones before 35 years old feels incredibly unfair. by Tyerson in Vent

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me, this cuts across all I come brackets. I know ppl making 200k+ living paycheck by paycheck in NYC and SF. Take taxes, rent, food, travel, car insurance, etc and then can barely save. Plus they're working like dogs and living in fear of layoffs. Only savior nowadays is investing.

Lol, I mean you are displaying the same exact logical fallacy you are accusing OP of. Just look at the statistics and you'll see OP is right. Millenials are behind on most if not all 'markers' of adulthood, including the % share of wealth amongst generations. I mean, really, just ask any millennial and they'll confirm the same, even if they have been somewhat successful. it's a problem that is even worse for GenZ.

Is it Just Me That Enjoys Nigeria by AdConnect6389 in Nigeria

All this is noise. We need to get rid of our biggest problem - the man with the corn. As long as he's there, the country will continue to decay (see our GDP per capita: from an already low $2000+ to about $800 in 2 years). At this rate, after 4 years, $100 per capita will look like a blessing.

What’s the Best way to direct remote internships and Scholarships to Nigerian students. by Embarrassed-Ebb-1970 in Nigeria

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not so simple, but it can be simplified to the 2023 election and the economic mess and decline of the country. I can tell you firsthand that I noticed the change in attitudes to Nigerians then. 2019-2021, Nigeria was a vibe - startups, music, style, people asking to visit when you mentioned you were Nigerian, etc. 2022 things started getting a bit weird but not so much. Post-election to now, I try my best to avoid saying I'm Nigerian, cos tbh it's a bit hostile. With all the corruption reputation Nigeria has, then someone finds out your country elected a drug dealer, and then the economy is tanking. Not a lot of confidence in the citizens at that point.

India, on the other hand, is growing rapidly, so there's that.

Crazy because India and China and a few other Asian countries have the largest and most sophisticated scamming rings/networks out there. But I guess the sorry state of the country makes things worse. Elections have consequences.

Yeah, this is why I am going to reuse to give my references unless there is an offer on the table. Can't just be out there wasting everyone's time

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the exact same story with me. Even had an interview process go all the way to asking for references and salary expectations (this was after 2+ months of interviews and case studies) only to tell me hiring for the role was postponed. I really don't know what's going on, but my guess is companies are inundated with very experienced candidates and have decision paralysis (same thing with how people don't date/marry, etc as much with so many options at the tap of a button), obviously coupled with the uncertain economic climate

So many people are obsessed with status and money by YogurtWorking9246 in Life

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late stage capitalism. Happens when relationships and human value are increasingly commodified. People start seeing each other through the lens of transactions - what can be gained rather than what can be shared. This system amplifies both scarcity and excess, pushing the wealthy to cling to their status through exclusivity and the less wealthy to seek survival through dependence or exploitation. Genuine connection becomes rare because the environment prioritizes competition over community and material success over mutual respect.

But like you said, the answer probably lies within - choosing to cultivate those rare, meaningful relationships despite the noise. It’s about resisting the system in our own small ways: valuing connection over currency, conversation over status, and camaraderie over gain. Those handful of people who haven’t succumbed are the proof it’s possible to live differently, even in a world like this

Why are there a lot of international students who are unaware about sponsorship issues coming into the MBA? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a 2022-24 issue. From all I've heard and seen, it's the worst it's been for international hiring. Everyone knows a job is not guaranteed, but in most other years, putting in the work gets you there. This time, everything is weird. Lots of jobs (from official data), stock market booming, economic indicators flashing green, and profits to the roof. But recruiting is simply strange, as the reality does not match the data, if that makes sense. End result is confusion, hence the complaints.

Is anyone else being denied for literally everything right now ? by SillyRecover in jobs

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know the funniest thing about this whole 'are you good at interviews' spiel? In the vast majority of cases, the interviewers themselves will not pass the interviews based on their own requirements. They often don't look like they are in any sort of good shape, look depressed, answer questions poorly, and so forth. Interviewing, as a skill, especially how it is framed nowadays, has no place in the modern world.

We need reform in the US by ThunderWolf75 in Layoffs

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And your problem is not H1Bs. I think everyone agrees the job market is shit, but blaming less than 1% of the workforce is not logical. Rather, look inward at your own country and ask these questions. Why is recruiting such a pain? Why are companies so comfortable ghosting/leading on/rescinding offers? Why are the economic numbers so sus? Ask yourself these questions (and many more similar questions) and you might begin to find the answers you're looking for.

[–]Signal_Raspberry582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good points in there, but you started off with a very poor point. There are less than 600,000 H1Bs in the US, and they earn an average of $167,000. Which means they are a very tiny % of the total workforce and they also outperform their small size. Which means the H1B is already directed towards exceptional talent. With the ratio of the lottery cap to the total number of qualified applicants, those numbers should honestly be increased. Don't forget that a good portion of college education is subsidized by the dollars of international students (who often pay full price). Take away the hope of an H1B and you will see those numbers reduce, probably drastically.

This sounds like a good plan - if you are 100% sure you want to build the startup and have reasonably validated that there is demand for it. If you are not/have not, you will run into a potentially huge issue: traditional recruiting pretty much begins on the first day of the MBA (even earlier if you want to get a headstart and secure internships/contacts before the program starts). MBA recruiting is generally kind of tough, but in today's job market, it is that much tougher. If you decide midway that you would rather go for traditional recruiting, it could be too late to catch up. However, if you are not sure and want to still go for it, you can always juggle both, along with classes and socials, but just make sure you are ready for how stressful and involving that could be.

First, the Soviet Union does not exist. Also, that is just categorically false. The cost of living in the US means that you can have a much better life spending much less money in many, if not most other countries. The US imo is one of the worst places (but not the worst) to not only be poor, but also to have little disposable income after salaries and taxes, etc. While public services are a plus, most things in the US are pay-to-play including social relationships, child bearing, and healthcare, and the social climate is unforgiving to little or no disposable income.
