For reasons I can't comprehend I seem to be unable to get an interview therefore can't get a job. My last job was a Director level position at a mid sized tech startup where I led a team of 120 people. I have been applying for 2 months and have gotten 2 interviews one where I declined the role because the guy who interviewed me was a cunt and the other where the role simply paid too little.
I am about 3 months out from having to either sell my house or my crypto. If I don't make it before then, which do I sell? House is worth about $800k and I have about $440k of equity in it. Crypto folio is worth just about $1MM after taxes, obviously I wouldn't sell it all at once.
Sell the house All in Crypto Stake some stables for a good income Rent a place Work on a side hustle Get some more real estate
Charles James
if you're serious fren, sell the crypto, we're in a bear market and you should have sold a while ago, but if you have to sell something, I would start selling some of your crypto (just enough to make ends meet)
do you live in some town of 100k people? have you tried applying via linkedin?
Isaiah Reyes
Nope.
Checked. I don't see the humor, though.
This is kind of what I was thinking, honestly. $400k in stables would allow me to move my family in with one of our parents for a bit and I should be able to at least put food on the table. Would it be retarded to instead of going into stables go into something like BTC, ETH, or LINK?

I don't like to pretend I can predict crypto markets. Volatility generally makes it not worth swinging, same reason I'm considering selling the house first. I'd need to cash out around $12k a month to meet my post tax needs for my family, but $12k can be worth $60k in the blink of an eye in crypto. Houses have been appreciating but at much slower rates.
I live in a city of about a million but most jobs I apply for are not here. I have used LinkedIn plenty. I've actually noticed (and had one person tell me this directly) that a lot of them ask for you to apply on the website vs. LinkedIn because LinkedIn applications tend to get spammed and therefore ignored. So I've been applying direct to websites as of 2 weeks ago but it hasn't seemed to help.
Christopher Campbell
the humor is you already made it but refuse to budget and live on a modest apy return. go liquidate your investments for all I care right at the bottom.
Leo Sanchez
>Can't get job. >Here job sir! >No! >Can't get job.
Jace James
This. You made it but also spent it, a victim to the rampant consumerism the noses have conditioned you to believe in. On the plus side, as long as you live modestly, you still have enough NW to invest and live a decent life
Blake Gonzalez
12k per month? Jesus christ you gluttonous faggot thats your problem. you can easily get by with HALF that if you were smart. 12k is gluttony and you fucking know it. consoom more faggot

Why don't you settle for a level down? I think director-level roles are usually promoted in-house as it requires a large amount of erudite business experience within the company and in that industry, so you're going to be dealing with a small pool of opportunities. I think you're going to have to settle for a managerial level role and try to work your way back up.

I am 39 years old, $1MM at my age isn't making it even if I didn't also support 3 children and a "used to being rich" wife. My expenses are at a minimum about $9k/month and that's being very tight with budget and not accounting for future needs for my kids such as their schooling will get more expensive as they get older.
To both match inflation (even normal inflation) and have enough/month to meet very near future needs, and still continue to save such as for retirement or college for my kids or whatever, I probably need a minimum of $150k/year post tax. That would be basically 20% on $1MM I'd need to make. It's not as easy as you think.

So you turned down 2 potential jobs even though you are on the brink of financial ruin?? You seem a lil cray user....
>My last job was a Director level position at a mid sized tech startup where I led a team of 120 people. user you should literally be having 0 trouble finding a gig. i'd wager there's something seriously wrong with your resume or the way you're presenting yourself. At this point your best investment would likely be into some sort of executive-level job search coach. Probably wouldn't be cheap but you could almost certainly find a well paying job in < 3 months if you do.
Jace Reyes
Here I'll break down just a few of the expenses for you:
>$3,000 in schooling for my kids so they don't have to go to degenerate public school of which the ones in my city are some of the worst in the nation >$2,000 groceries to feed 5 people >$2,500 mortgage >$500 utilities
We are at $8,000 and I haven't even done anything yet except survive. I haven't put gas in my tank, I'm not factoring for shit like netflix or whatever, and certainly not factoring for surprise expenses which do happen regularly and can be a thousand or more dollars themselves easily. Not factoring for home maintenance, etc.
If you think $12,000/month is a lot for 5 people you are either a child yourself with no real responsibilities or live in a third world shithole. Neither of those are true for me, sadly.
Caleb Sanders
>$9k/month yea well now you know why I just said lol. you had your kids, you made your bed. good luck friend from a $2k/month budget chad
Colton Sanchez
The second one would have been ok but it paid $60k. I admit it would be better than nothing but at the time I didn't think I would really have so much difficulty finding something in the $100k+ range. My experience and skill set certainly warrant it. The $60k job I would be way overqualified for.
The other one I knew from the interview alone I would rather be broke as fuck and move in with my parents than do it.
Eli Rivera
If you have no kids you're not a Chad, friend. If you're not spreading your seed then you're not even a man. You're a boy.
Connor Martinez
Yeah, I guess 60k is a bit low and it would look bad on your resume.... still though, moving back in with parents at your age?? That's a grim prospect user, wouldn't wish it on anyone
Owen Gonzalez
We literally can't hire enough developers/PMs at AWS right now. I'm talking 200-400k roles too. We probably have 1000's of open remote jobs. Have you tried any big tech company?
Nathan Hernandez
says the unemployed loser struggling to survive. I take care of my responsibilities. but you go on meeting your definition of man actuated by females. pathetic. may I suggest stop using Any Forums while you're still whitepilled?
Anthony Gutierrez
You’re fault for living in a city. Amish are able to have big families and survive with zero money. There is ways to cut down on expenses if you have the skill sets and are willing to live rural
Levi Lewis
>>$2,000 groceries to feed 5 people Thats a lot...I spend about $300/month as a single guy, but I eat really well (buy shit like cakes, ice cream which I shouldn't be buying...steaks once a week, lots of fish, meat almost every meal), if you scaled it up it would come out to $1500/month for 5 people, but you have kids who don't eat as much and probably less waste, so in reality you should be spending even less than $1500/month
are you eating out a lot? do you have a costco in your city? costco is great for families
