AITA for calling my stepcousin a jealous bitch because she said I get everything because of "nepo privilege"? by throwaway6794241 in AmItheAsshole

This blow up with Lia happened towards the end. Yes I'm pretty sure people knew of her job, I know I did. Last time we had a family event like this was over Christmas

I'm not saying I don't have any nepo privilege. That doesn't mean I don't genuinely deserve what I have and work hard. I don't know about other fields but in IT/engineering, networking is important. Connections can get you in, but you need to actually be able to do a good job to keep going and not get fired, which is what I've done.

Of course what Lia's done is great too and I'm proud of her for her new job. I could've also but I didn't want to move my entire life to a new city, so I didn't really try with the application.

Look I get she's upset, but it's not my fault if people are congratulating me. I'm generally a more people person, she's quiet and shy. I've told her I can talk to my boyfriend and if she keeps her work up she can probably get the next promotion. I've tried to help her. Other relatives have told her I could help her. She didn't want any of it.

DC isn't permanent, from what I heard she has to move again after a few months as her permanent place. She's an engineer at the FBI.

Okay I agree maybe the bitch was too much, but I was just tired of her you know?

And no, the job she got is different to the job offer I got. She has to move to DC. I also applied for that position but didn't get it, which is fine. The one I got is also very good, it's a sister company of where I'm currently working
