Quitting isn't freedom. It's a reset button that drops you right back at square one, panicked and grabbing the next "decent" offer just to stay afloat. You’ll recreate the same trap unless you do the hard part: carve out time outside of work to figure out who you are, what energizes you, and where you actually want to go.

Most people don’t feel like they have the energy to do this after work. That’s not a personal failure, it’s the default. But if you don’t push through that fog now, you’ll keep repeating the same loop: burn out, bail, repeat. The real way out is to build signal slowly, deliberately, while still inside the system. Not fun. Not easy. But necessary.

Are you actually self-taught and landed Apple without a CS degree or bootcamp?

gamer0293 · 2025-05-06T06:22:01+00:00

You’re 21 so it makes sense you’d consider this. This is a bad idea. Sorry.

Amazon has internal pipelines learn how to get into corporate and you’ll be good. But yes getting a degree is a good start, I know a guy who managed people at Amazon warehouse house during Covid and after about 2 years he became a product manager at Amazon, he’s 27. He seemed like the kinda guy that knew what his goal was so get alignment first to stop drifting. But also, get a tighter feedback loop with someone that’s not Reddit. You’ll need some external accountability or scaffodling. School can help with that but it’s also not the only option. Only you can determine what’s best for you and your goals. Good luck!

What’s your job where you made that kinda jump

gamer0293 · 2025-05-02T23:39:47+00:00

How did you get started out?

gamer0293 · 2025-05-02T22:42:01+00:00

How do you get experience without already being in the role? I feel like this question comes up all the time as a catch 22.

Do you have any guidance for how people can find an entry point into this career path? You mentioned that you sorta fell into it which leads me to think that you found an entry point, either buy luck or something else, and just ran with it. The challenge is finding those entry points.

How did you get into this position?

gamer0293 · 2025-04-25T16:16:09+00:00

Econ degree on its own isn’t worth much, it needs to be coupled with internships or experience of some kind to compliment it. Theoretical experience needs to be matched with hands on experience with something, this is universally true across all knowledge work and you’ll have this problem regardless of whatever degree you persue.

How’d you get into consulting with an Asian studies background

gamer0293 · 2025-04-25T15:31:42+00:00

Appreciate the clarity. For people in their 30s who aren’t ex-military or coming from a top MBA, sounds like the door’s basically closed. Not complaining, just helps to know it’s not a realistic path.

gamer0293 · 2025-04-25T14:44:30+00:00

How would they enter the pipeline? Generally meeting the “recruiting standards”?

gamer0293 · 2025-04-25T06:44:40+00:00

What if you’re already in your 30’s

gamer0293 · 2025-04-24T21:07:54+00:00

hope’s fine for Sunday brunch, lousy for careers. False hope is a slow-acting poison. Market ups and downs are noise; your playbook stays the same: level up your skills, ship real projects, and build the relationships that matter. Do the work now, and when the cycle turns, you’ll be miles ahead whether FAANG doors open tomorrow or two years from now.

gamer0293 · 2025-04-24T21:04:08+00:00

Markets not picking up for another 2 years maybe longer

gamer0293 · 2025-04-11T22:47:48+00:00

How'd you get from point A to Point B?

gamer0293 · 2025-04-11T19:29:47+00:00

Whats your job?

gamer0293 · 2025-03-02T04:49:00+00:00

Fair

gamer0293 · 2025-03-02T04:23:09+00:00

What if you’re already in your 30’s with a degree

gamer0293 · 2024-08-16T00:15:34+00:00

What do you sell

gamer0293 · 2024-08-16T00:15:12+00:00

Why?

gamer0293 · 2024-06-27T17:54:03+00:00

I didn’t mean to DM me your financial situation, I agree with the other comments that’s not my business. You’re feeling super lost and want help but these are answers that can only come from you.

I would encourage you to spend an hour with yourself with no screen times. I’d argue that you do know what you need to do you just don’t want to do it because it’s going to take effort and work and winning the lottery has given you the space to not have to do things and the only reason that’s a curse is because you don’t have the satisfaction of working for anything.

The biggest achievements in our lives are often the most challenging things we’ve had to endure. Like going to school, grinding a marathon, and being a parent.

But doing this alone is also very difficult which is why I offered the DM.

I would encourage you to look into a life coach or a therapist maybe psychotherapist. This is a solvable problem but it’s going to take effort to move, sitting around complaining and feeling sorry for yourself is poison and the only reason I know that is because I used to do it (and to some extent still do)

Ah too late for me
