Life has a way of surprising you. After my time at Jumper, i started scouting for job opportunities. From February to April, i did 20+ interviews but couldn't crack any. The reasons varied: “we can’t justify paying $100K for a shitposting job” or “we don’t hire outside the U.S.” Eventually, by May, i decided to pause the job search. It had become mentally exhausting. The process itself was taxing; applying, completing assignments that took 2–3 days, followed by rounds of calls with HR, CMOs, and founders. After constant rejections, i began to internalize the failure. It wasn’t just about not landing a job; it was the growing sense that nobody saw value in me. I won’t sugarcoat it, i was in a rough mental space. In May, i spoke with a few friends. Some encouraged me to keep applying, while others suggested lowering my expectations just to “stay in the industry.” But a conversation with a close friend shifted everything. She said “forget it, focus on trading and build your own brand.” It hit me like a crack, maybe because i just wanted to hear it from someone and take that risk. Maybe, i just needed someone to validate the direction i was already leaning towards. So, i made a decision: stop chasing jobs and start trading full-time (and shitposting). Fast forward to today and i kid you not, i’ve received over 10 offers, all willing to pay 20% – 40% more than what i had asked for just a few months ago. I respectfully turned them down as i'm enjoying every bit of what i'm doing, while making 3x of what i would make at a job. I’ve made some incredible connections and i’m genuinely grateful for everyone who's been part of the journey. Finally, i can proudly say: i’m unemployable and i wouldn’t have it any other way.
