Don't know what to do as a new CS grad? It's easy bro, just work for Google or launch a startup

Ha! To paraphrase:
Win the lottery. Because 300k 20hr/wk jobs are fantasy.
removed at one failure after another. Wheeee! Your wife leaves you and takes the kids. 99% of them die, even if you're a 10x dev, but keep running that hamster wheel.
Eat shit for 2 years until your company dies, 99% of the time. Repeat.
Like, w.t.f kind of "just git gud" bullshit is this elitist shyster hocking?
- Good summary. Minor clarifying point: the wife leaves with the kids in all three options.
  
  Not exactly 99% of the kids die, to clarify further.

New CS grad, making 300k and 10x-ing your RSUs. How do I undo all my professional experience in software so I can get 300k and 10x my RSUs? 🤔
- Induce amnesia, delete everything on your linkedin profile, and get on that Leetcode grind 💯

It’s honestly not too bad for advice, although it’s definitely exaggerated (i.e. 300k for a fresh grad; risk for a startup is high, not medium-low). The problem is not the path, it’s getting your foot in the door. CS grads are having a hard time getting hired in the first place. How can you do those things if you can’t even get started.
- It's deranged advice.
  About 1% of cs grads are able to innovate something and start a company. And 97% of them will fail in a year.
  I lived through the 1st big tech "startup" thing, I was involved in many myself, it's no little game you play
  It's how you end up $140,000 in debt, and unable to make your lease payments because your major customer just fucked you over, because their main customer just went into bankruptcy, because Paramount put a moratorium on Star Trek franchise licensing to prevent brand dilution.
  You don't fuck around and just decide you're going to start a tech business and everything is gold... Like at least get a couple years working in a few failed startups to see exactly what the pitfalls are
  Can't get work after graduation? Perhaps you squandered your time and came out of school with nothing to show and you're not able to stand above your contemporaries. Sucks and maybe you should have tried harder.
  Tech is a vicious game. Nobody kid themselves please I'm begging you
  Edit. If you're not walking out with your degeee in one hand and a fully fledged, innovative, killer product in the other, you're already finished. Even then you can have investors lined up like salivating dogs, and still fail in a spectacular explosion
  
  You're not finished until you're in the ground. Anything could happen. But god damn does it just get harder every year.
  
  You’re not wrong, and the post does say that - starting your own company or creating something new isn’t something that everyone can do, and it’s a tiny, tiny percentage who are actually successful. That’s why the first option they listed is to just join big tech and be a regular cog in the wheel. Obviously as I said, 300k is definitely NOT something you get as a fresh grad. But option 1 is the path of 99.99% of people, becoming an employee. And as I mentioned, that’s hard to do if you can’t even get your foot in the door in the first place.

This is absolutely AI slop that's been "humanized" and posted. I can recognize the use of emojis and cadence of some lines. Pretty pathetic honestly lol.
- I hadn't realized it, but I think you're right. It has the same structure as CGPT when you ask it to generate an article
  The believable "MBA-pilled gigachad" vibes threw me off

Yeah, only that last option is a unicorn. The others are totally typical, and totally honest depictions of what it'd be like.

My first job outside of college as an SE: 40hr/week & 50k in Mississippi. I worked my ass off and I'm almost at #1. Working 20-30 hours a week (with some meetings where I don't really work) making less than 300k, but in a big city living my best life. All but one person in my team is a fresh hire straight from college or an internship. It's doable, but they're picky.
I enjoyed the Mississippi job more due to the work style vs the new big tech job. But the hours and money are very nice, so I can't really complain.

for someone who ain't so plugged in to tech-bro corpo lingo, what is the difference between 2 and 3?
