I recently found out another family friend joined Google from a startup, adding to the long list of acquaintances and former coworkers that have gotten offers in the last year. Seems like I’m the only one in my friend group that doesn’t have an offer from a top tier/high TC company now. The worst part is when I vocalize this and get the "but Amazon is 1T now!!" Response from them as if my 36 RSUs are even usable to me today and the other person would ever join Amazon in a million years. It just feels so fake and condescending. Meanwhile I’m working on a team that builds a product nobody uses and don’t have the stamina or mental clarity to leetcode when I come home while hearing my coworkers bitch about how bad Amazon is at home.



How do I stop feeling so sad? I upped my dose of my SSRI recently and started working out more. But I still feel so empty and worthless. How do I fix this?
