Check out Flexa. https://flexa.network/

What would motivate them to do so?

Exchanging more time for money when you’re already making over 500k at 40 hours a week seems inefficient.

I would be learning how to invest (in fact, I do with far less than 500k salary) in my spare time if I really need to maximize income.

Maybe your living expenses match (or exceed) your income though, so you don’t have much capital after expenses.

Assuming cryptocurrency, I looked into this and concluded that learning Solidity would be what I venture into.

Same, but “Poober”.

AMP token to collateralize payments. Flexa is the first and most well-known implementation of it and has made very significant partnerships.

Ohhh! I wonder why you’re having so much trouble.

I’m in a very competitive market. I also refuse to do leetcode and whiteboards, and will only do small, clearly defined take-homes (since I lack a portfolio and kind of enjoy them).

I don’t bother with the alphabet companies (no interest and don’t want to waste my time with their interview process).

Maybe try targeting your companies more selectively?

And thanks, by the way! :)

Life-changing skillset.

I’m in my 30s and was coming off the back of part-time retail jobs before I landed my first dev job.

I have a B.A. and taught myself programming (including React). Over the course of 4 years, my gross income went to something like 25k to 160k (in the U.S.) because I learned React.

So, I guess, don’t compete if you’re not up to it, but if you’re willing, the jobs and monies are out there.

You just need to get your first dev job, stick it out for a year or two (even if it sucks), and you should be a lot more desirable going forward. Do whatever you need to do to get that first one under your belt.

I personally know another person (bootcamp grad). Got their first job at 80k and is about to double their salary after a couple years.

Set up the restrictions in screentime and have someone you trust set your screentime passcode. That’s what I do, and it works for me.

Fidelity and Vanguard for best execution—which is the most important aspect for me. Self-clearing, sufficiently capitalized and don’t accept PFOF. They are improving their trading UI and I think they’re definitely headed in the right direction on that front. I don’t yet trade options on either, so no comment on that.

What do they say again?

I didn’t grasp this when my HS English teacher imparted this on us, but having consumed much of the trending Reddit content, it makes a lot more sense these days.
