Wife made 55k last month on OF. Should I quit and pursue OF?
OFHusband @ ex-Amazon
Wife got laid off earlier in the year. She started OF in March and started getting big in May, and this last month she crossed 50k/mo.
She currently does solo girl content and has wanted to include me but I don’t feel comfortable showing my face and I am worried it will harm my career if I get found. But maybe it won’t matter if I quit and we can do this for a year and potentially semi retire.
I am 32, wife is 28 and we want to start trying for kids at 30, so we have less than 2 years to fully pursue this. Should I quit and pursue OF?
TC 400k (140k paper money)
NW: 2.3m (Think we will need 4m for retirement)

$1M at 34🎉
aws-19937 @ Amazon
Apart from owning a house (1.2M, with $700k debt left) and $50k emergency fund, today I hit $1M. Had to go through a lot, past 12 years where I started my career for $500/month salary.
Edit: I consolidated my positions from couple of other trading platforms to fidelity in last few weeks.
I love fidelity as they pay interest for cash secured puts.

Just fired from Microsoft
looser @ Microsoft
This morning I had an 1:1 with my manager. Normally we meet on Mondays. However, last Monday he rescheduled it. Today at the beginning he asked me how am I. I also asked him how he is. He thanked me and then invited a lady from HR. I immediately understood what is going to happen. The next 10 minutes they explained all termination process and I am now jobless.
It was due to my poor performance. I had two consecutive LITE. That's why it's not a sudden surprise. Unfortunately, I was not able to manage a backup.
I tried heart and soul to get a new job. But I failed. Last February I failed Meta's phone screen and they set the cool down period of one year for me. In addition, last week I failed Amazon's from final virtual onsite. Although I had a great interview they still set one year cool down period for me.
The situation becomes worse due to my OPT. My 60 days timer is now on.
I would appreciate suggestions and action items from the folks who were able to overcome similar tough situations. I'm not confident to get another job within the next 60 days. I'm trying for the last 18-19 months and no luck. That's why I don't see any chance to secure something in the next 60 days. Therefore mostly interested to know the alternative options in these cases.

Hit 4M NW !! Depressed and wanna quit.
MuditUdan @ Amazon
Hit household NW of 4M this week. 3.5M invested and 500K home equity in VHCOL.
I'm burnt out and debating if I should quit in this bad job market without anything lined up??
Spouse makes 350K, which can cover our VHCOL life. Also, 3.5M invested might grow 8-10% / yr and might give additional safety net if needed.
I grew up with money insecurity (like many here), lived in a scarcity mindset all my life, so I can not get myself to quit. Also scared that future managers will take the employment gap negatively.
I should be celebrating my disciplined NW growth, but I'm depressed and miserable. Need advice or alternate evaluation of my situation.
My TC - soon to be 0.

I'm so depressed with Canada and this job market
eHgu21 @ IBM
I'm from Canada, we have absolutely flooded the market with software developers. We take in the same amount of international students as the USA every year, yet our population is 1/10th the size. We also allowed 10,000 h1b holders to come to Canada last year, to make us "competitive in tech". Software development was already underpaid, oversaturated and with huge amounts of layoffs.
Housing prices are insane, cost of living is through the roof, much worse than the U.S. We don't build houses fast enough, its been getting progressively worse for 20 years. What does the government do?? Bring in record levels of immigrants year after year! Heck even if you have money, you can't buy what you want because there are shortages in parts/materials all over the place.
Now no one is hiring and companies are treating developers like unskilled laborers.
I'm watching my country turn into the 3rd world in real time.

Done with tech, where to go?
buzkut @ Intuit
I'm done with tech and the bullshit politics and stack ranking. Where can I go for relative job security, sane work expectations and peace of mind? Money is not a motivator, willing to take a paycut for a decent work environment
Edit: seems like the wrong platform to ask this.. people seem to have convinced themselves that there's nothing better than tech, and we all should just keep running the rat race

I heard from a incredible source (someone as high up as Peter Thiel, Warren Buffet, Jerome Powell) that stocks will start crashing soon.

Girl on dating app (San jose) asked for “decent dinner” on first date
kaptainYap @ Meta
Then suggested 3 restaurants in san jose that has price range of $$$ (50-150) per person. This reeks of red flag so i told her “those places have 3rd date vibe”, then she blocked me everywhere lmfao
This is like the second girl from San jose i met who want fancy dinner on first date. Do they just like to use guys for free fancy dinner? Why are they so dumb lol

Which race do you prefer working with the most?

No DEI BS, let’s figure out which race of co-workers you prefer working with. Managers are not included. This poll should be purely objective.

PSA: Having Children
Not___HR @ Google
Dear childless people. Think of the worst, most annoying and frustrating thing you've ever experienced. Then multiply that by 10,000. It won't even equate to a fraction of a percentage of the frustration and annoyance you will feel if you have kids. I want to kill myself. Do yourself a favor. Never have kids.
