Whenever I see people complaining about house prices or the cost of living only to find out they work a job outside of finance I am tempted to write this board off as hopeless. Seriously, why aren't you making a ton of money by working in Venture Capital?
Sure it means long hours. Sure it means you have to dress smartly and ditch the jeans and band shirts. Sure it means being able to form connections and establish a wide professional network of contacts.
But if you aren't willing to get up early, put on a suit, force a smile onto your face and look ahead to ten or eleven hours of rigorous planning, numerical work and high-stakes responsibility then why even call yourself a man? Why bother? Why not join your local anarchist group and cry about mean society it is to weak people like yourself?

How to? Im a legit genius but a little autistic. I did some private investing and made some money riding bitcoin, how do I become venture capitalist?
If you dont tell me, I will vote for the communist party next election!

Why do you lie on the internet? On Sup Forums of all places? The validation you seek can not be found here user.
Hudson Bailey
Sorry, I'm not a Nazi. Maybe I would be if I spent all my time on here. But I have better things to do.
Then leave your small town. If you are under the age of 35 and don't live in a major city, or a large one at least, then you are basically admitting you are incapable or unwilling to work hard to get ahead in life.
Dominic Edwards
Peoples like you is prime example why West is collapsing. Now kys pidor

I definitely recommend working hard in school, and if your parents can afford it (which they should) encourage them to send you to a private school where classes are smaller and teachers are more likely to guide you and take a personal interest in your success. Then study hard at a top university, earn top grades, do some internships and get an entry-level / graduate job in a big city. Once there you'll have to work long hours and make sure to stand out from your peers by staying late, taking on as much responsibility as you can and learning as wide a range of skills as you can. Having done that the time will come when you are tired of having to answer to several levels of upper management, at which point you can either seek promotion in your workplace or simply join another firm where the management structure allows you to be granted more responsibility and so forth. It's all about approaching life with the right mentality from an early age, and not allowing yourself to get sidetracked by drugs, wild parties, childish pursuits of artistic ambitions and so forth. Keep your eyes on the prize, establishing a long time goal and work as hard as you can every day to get there.
Christian Myers
Fucking mong >how can you call yourself a man You work long hours doing nothing worthwhile to yourself or your community, hoarding money or spending frivolously, you have only skills in abstraction not the real world. You would die in the woods, you cannot live off the land, you have to pay for your life, you do not live for free, you a fraud to call yourself a man
Eli Phillips
>Why aren't you a Venture Capitalist?
Because I lack the requisite funds.
Oliver White
>You would die in the woods
Well then its lucky that I don't live in the woods, and that I have no interest doing so, isn't it. I do apologize that I am not a caveman or that I don't admire the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Fortunately however I live in a society which will never revert to that kind of barbaric mode of living, and as a result I can use my intelligent to make sure I sit near the top of the hierarchy while resentful, violent individuals like yourself spew your hate at the bottom.
Benjamin Bell
Thanks for your explanation. Im a little older than you think I am, and I have always worked hard in school like you said (didnt really have to work hard, but did the highest level of education)
Im a med student, I am currently investigating possible medication for rare genetic disorders that can easily be treated with the latest technology. Like enzyme deficiencies and stuff. Martin Shkreli (martyr) is my personal hero.
Is this a good way to go? Also, how does one get into contact with investors? Literally just start a kickstarter?

A little uranium dropped from 10 km above or a solar storm and your little world will turn upside down. You will have no place to stay and no food to eat. Your money is useless. You are useless.

Benjamin Watson
What business are you in? Or is that a retarded question because the venture capitalist just seizes opportunity wherever he finds it?
Kevin Jackson

Robert Bell
Your existence is artificial. We will see who laughs last.
Wyatt Parker
Sounds like an interesting line of work. Kickstarter is for people who lack connections or business acumen. I recommend saving up a lot of money, producing a detailed growth strategy (i.e. look at the market, competitors etc) then present this to an venture capital investor to see if he thinks you're worth the financial support he can offer.
The fact you conflate virtue and poverty is exactly the reason so many people privately adore the fact they are failures in life, because they judge their failure to be evidence of their so-called goodness.

Dp you know how to make gunpowder? concrete? forge steel? What are you going to do slap rocks with a stick until iron falls out?
Thomas Ramirez
Are you actually this illiterate in the art of survival? You don't use gunpowder, you make yourself a bow (and yes I know how to make and use them) and forging steel? are you kidding me? you just put it into a furnace in a ceramic vessel. You haven't seen a forest in your entire life have you?
Brandon Phillips
Genuine question, what do people like you get out of making shit up on the internet?
Colton Ward

Nobody gives a shit about some finance wagecuck job when we have crypto.
Some neckbeards probably get lucky and hit the next bitcoin early so they earn more in one year than your entire life. While you try to shill pajeetcoins icos after getting into crypto late, they will be driving lambos.

This is such a retarded argument. A nuclear bomb or a solar storm would turn everyone's world upside down unless you live in a bomb shelter 24/7 and never interact with the outside world.

Elijah Gray
A nuclear bomb doesn't just affect those in the blast radius. There's fallout and the economic and political repercussions that follow.
You're obviously a rube who's content watching the grass grow but most people's lives would be seriously adversely affected by a nuclear strike even if it took place in a neighbouring country.
Parker White

James Johnson
>Enjoy the tripwires Enjoy accidentally cutting yourself while setting up the tripwire and dying 2 days later because you dont know how to make antibiotics.
Then I walk in to bang your wife and kids (if they're hot, and yes I said kids)
Alexander Hill
At the risk of sounding bitter or unpleasant, which is genuinely not my goal, its far too early for you to label yourself as a venture capitalist, or really anything besides a young gentleman who has saved a bit of cash and looking to make his first investment.
You have done relatively ok for yourself but dont brag until you're actually in a position to brag.
Good luck with your first investment.
Eli Williams
I was. It sucked. I made a lot of money (not really a lot but I came in fast) but it sucked.

I'll have to withstand some levels of radiation from rain but I live nowhere near a large city so I'm not in direct danger. Water can be filtered. I will survive unlike you.

Oliver Morgan
It sounds about spot on in my books. The ridiculous British tax rates along with the high cost of living in London make it difficult to save a lot of money.
As he rises in his career it will be easier, but the UK business culture is uniquely good at keeping poor people poor.
Christian Edwards

Ethan Nguyen
Out of interest, how much did you start on and at what age?

Eh, might as well argue with retards while I tend to my online business. Living in the country doesn't mean you have to be dumb. I read a lot and I bet I know a lot more about science and technology than you. Maybe if you weren't a money grubbing jew you could do the same? Or maybe you are just too stupid to think outside of the box.
Owen James

You mean to the warlords and slave traders who own those towns right?

What's with all these "why aren't you [insert faggy job with underwhelming benefits]" threads? Why aren't you a marine? Why aren't you a VC? What's next "Why aren't you a walmart greeter" brag thread? Fucking ban people for these threads unless they legit make half a mil or something worth bragging about.

The implication was that you had capital of your own that you invested.
Juan Nguyen
Why should I be satisfied with anything? Contentment breeds complacency and complacency breeds despair. Every time I reach a short-term goal I immediately ask "what now?" rather than "that'll do". I am always improving, demanding more of myself and of others, reaching for higher achievements, faster growth, more and more progress. And it's exactly this kind of mindset that has made my society the amazing place it is.
I don't think you're dumb because you live in the country. I think you're dumb because of the things you say.
I'm not a money grubbing jew. I live in a small studio flat in London and I make just enough to get by.
Brandon Gutierrez
> get up early, put on a suit, force a smile onto your face and look ahead to ten or eleven hours of rigorous planning, numerical work and high-stakes responsibility then why even call yourself a man? That seems so far removed from what it means to be a man it's not even funny.

I never said I was proud of it. My life is a work in progress.
I'm giving myself the best chance to succeed by living in a big city. You on the other hand have resigned yourself to failure. Deep down you probably know that you wouldn't make it in the city so you've given up. Or maybe you tried and failed? Which is it?
Adam Turner

Because working for a private equity firm or a quantitative hedge fund like Two Sigma or Renaissance is a much better route. Oh wait that actually requires you to understand more than Calc 1! Also 96,000 / year whether that's before or after taxes is fucking nothing for a 27 year old in finance. I make more than that in tech and I'm younger than you.

I set up my own business and I’m convinced that I wouldn’t even have a fraction of the wealth and satisfaction if I would have chosen the path you suggested
Also I could never understand how you could put in that much effort for someone else’s firm, if you are good at what you are doing, you will always be better off being your own boss than slaving yourself away for someone else’s profit

Being a man means waking before 6:30am every morning. It means working out in the early morning. It means shaving and putting on a tailored suit, getting in your reliable car or on public transport if that is more efficient, and making your way to your office. It means being able to shake hands with a man worth several million pounds / dollars and to look him in the eye and have him acknowledge you and respect you as a reliable, dependable, hard-working fellow capitalist. It means displaying to the men around you that despite your composed, stoic exterior you have a very funny sense of humour but also that you understand that the world is no picnic, and that in fact it is an arena for ruthless, merciless competition between you, and that although today you may be workmates tomorrow you may very well be attempting to do everything it takes to secure a deal that they too are interested in. It means having social skills, mathematical skills, an understanding of historical facts and periods, an appreciation for literature and artistic heritage, a grasp of aesthetics, a profound and relentless sense of self-awareness, a business acumen so well-developed that you know a bad deal when you see one and you also can spot a flaw or weakness in an individual or in a market which you can take advantage of and profit from. It means securing a romantic and sexual partner who is of good genetic stock, who is chaste or at least relatively inexperienced and who yearns to give birth to however many high-IQ children you want to sire. It means being wealthy but not flashy, confident but not arrogant, assertive but not tyrannous, powerful but not sustained by the attainment of power alone. It means working until at least 7pm every weekday and forming connections in various industries. It means having the money to put your kids in the best schools. It means being bold enough to place the market ahead of the "nation" or "society". It means being a capital-m Man.

Save your attempts at psychology for your fellow city sheep. Cities are the peak of degeneracy and you obviously don't want to listen to reason so don't go crying to make when your kid starts doing porn or when your wife gets run over by a truck of peace. Meanwhile I have the same opportunities and much more enjoyable life here in the country.
Jayden Martinez
Holy shit this is the most cringe post I've seen in the past week. Being a man is pretty subjective and dependent on culture and how your society defines masculinity. Being a capitalist also doesn't mean shaking hands and acting respectful to make nice with other random people in finance. It means acquiring wealth through any means necessary. It means acquiring a British mining company with operations in the DRC and hiring a private military company to ruthlessly guard your mining operations in order to maximize efficiency and your profits. It means joining an international policy group and shaking hands with a NSC member in order to convince them that executing a covert operation to overthrow a socialist government is "necessary" for US national security, while you make sure to secure all profitable state owned industries as soon as the state is overthrown. You work in venture capital though so you probably just invest in shitty tech startups that get acquired for under a hundred million dollars.

Somebody with half a brain needs to get the dirty work done.
You can’t sit in an office and expect a bunch of half educated, mostly third world shitheads to operate on their own and actually perform at a level that generates profit.
Don’t get me wrong. Putting on a nice suit, hustling deals, taking three beer lunches, and banging all the office bitches is fucking great bro. I’ve been there.
But somebody has to get into the field and make sure the money is getting made.
My suit for the last ten years has been a coverall, steel toed boots and a hard hat. Out in the heat and cold, busting ass and getting operations rolling. I don’t need to go to the gym, my work is my fitness program.
I haven’t made less than $150K in a long time.
Granted I’ve got the hands on skills and the relevant university degree to go with it.
I do miss all that pussy
Don’t ignore the man who keeps the money generator running.
