Not anymore, cause its impossible for a white man to get a decently paying job. H1Bs and illegals competing for work makes getting even a basic interview impossible

I'm white, I have a decently paying job (VP). almost all of my friends are white and they all have decently paying jobs.

Let's run some diagnostics here. What's your degree and what do you currently do?

You lie about being a vp on the internet. It's sad.

Plus you already claimed you retired. So which is it?

You are a VP, thats why, not an entry level position. For non-entry level positions, the market is pretty good, but if your a young white man just out of college looking to break into the tech sector, its *awful*.

You think I started as a VP? Bitch, I started at the bottom and there were lots of hard times of eating shit and guess what, I pulled myself up from my boostraps. Now stop whining and get to work, loser, or else you're no better than a nigger.

You misurderstand, I'm saying that if your a VP, youve been in the field for decades, back when it was very easy for white men to get started. The entry level environment you were in 20-30 years ago *no longer exists*.

It’s not impossible, it’s just really difficult. My bro was a regional manager, broke records his first year running shit at that job, and during Covid, every branch of the company he worked for took a massive hit, and several regional managers were let go as a result, he was one of them. For the next year he put out almost 200 applications for jobs way under what he qualified for, and finally by a year and a half in, he found a job, not as good as his old job, but it pays the bills and he will most definitely get a promotion to where he was before at some point.

There's always going to be difficult times. When two towers got hit by two planes in Jew York in 2001 shit was hard. When the US financial system nearly collapsed in 2008 shit was hard. Covid was tough but not that different compared to those two events.

This is false. The idiom comes out of WWI and its about getting oneself out of a foxhole despite having a limb blown off.

But you understand what it means though. In other words, "become self reliant through means of yourself" Put your mind to work for yourself. Its the opposite of waiting in an institutionalized line for your turn at being "successful?" Does that make sense?

For sure I understand that. A homogenous culture and nepotism would have saved me a good decade of my journey. Individual merit takes a long time to build.
