Fumbling Generational Wealth press here for 2x one thing they don't tell you in software engineer school is that you're gonna fumble generational wealth 10 times and you just gotta learn to thug it out

Transcript

one thing they don't tell you in software engineer school is that you're gonna fumble generational wealth at least 10 times and you're just gonna have to keep it pushing. It's happened to me. In November of 2023, I failed my interview at a company that rhymes with Berser that then got acquired by a larger company that just recently IPO'd. I would have made millions of dollars if I just studied harder and passed my interview. But all you can do is tell yourself it just didn't go your way and you're gonna get yours one day. Eventually, you're gonna be able to get what you deserve and that's the method of coping I've chosen for myself. What is the method you've chosen? Please let me know in the comments. I really need it because there are a lot of companies I failed my interviews at that have rocketed in valuation.
