ITT: pretend you're in silicon valley

>Day 14: I'm at my first junior developer job in silicon valley, nobody suspects that I'm actually a guy pretending to be a tranny just so they'd give me a diversity job.
>I saw one of the purple-haired HR staff do a double take at me as she walked by, her hand darted straight to the book of write-up slips she keeps on her belt loop.

Day 1: I exit the car, rack the slide and start blasting every CIA nigger in sight.

Does this actually work?

> Day 31: Met for drinks with friends from college. All are jealous that I landed a job at one of the big four. With my $90k starting salary I'm almost middle class!

>Day 7: Jesus Christ this rent is expensive. I had to lower the amount of money I spent on food to pay it off. Can you believe I only bought 7 limes. Next thing you know I'm going to have to live off of avocado toast.

>day 98: I've worked at company X long enough that they're now letting me be on call! I don't get paid for this time since I'm salaried but I get unlimited PTO so it should be fine :D

>Day 10: I'm making five times the money of everyone I've ever known. No wonder people love living here.
>Day 14: Rent is how much?

>Day 211: i make 120k a year as a google engineer and I live in a box truck in their parking lot to save 60k annually on rent, i'm a genius!

Is rent and living standards like food that expensive? More than NY and Japan?

Average rent in a shitty place is 6K while making 30-50K

Would pose as atranny actually work? Would they look over/check qualifications?

I'm getting pretty desperate and I would consider this unironically.

Only correct answer.

Day 01: join a "fight club" filled with pencil necked edge Lords trying to feel alive.
Day 02: slap my way to being the world's most powerful nerd, and golf with an executive who uses Linux.
Day 03: Silicon Valley is in the palm of my hands. I have my fight club running prostitutes, and acid for top CEOs looking for that creative edge, and a young 10/10 qt 3.14 to cum in. They feel on top of the world, and I have dirt on the tech world's most successful.
Day 04: I'm fucking bulletproof. I own this shithole, and I have every DM under my thumb.
Day 05: This was 10 years ago lads.

You can get an apartment in the valley for $2000 a month, which is barely anything when you make $200k a year as a new grad.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_and_the_Grapes

You are NOT going to make 200 THOUSAND DOLLARS at an entry level anything in SV.
A much more realistic salary is 80k, you're still going to pay over 30% of your total income to rent alone.

>get job in silicon valley
>barely do any work
>sometimes don't show up at all
>americuck nu-males and purple-haired sjws have to work twice as hard to make up for my laziness
>can't fire me because I'm foreign and that would be racist

>We
Implying you work there lmao

I agree with the sentiment here but you absolutely expect 200k starting if you have a PhD in EE and work as a chip architect, or a PhD in Maths/Stats and work as a quant. But as a normal old slightly above average code monkey, nowhere near 200k

Literally every big company, Apple, Facebook, etc, hire at the 200k level. Nice sour grapes.

Maybe total compensation, as well as factoring in sign-on bonuses, but no company hires software dudes at 200,000 american dollars into your pocket at the entry level

Why would you care about anything else? Salary doesn't matter at all if you aren't a poorfag living paycheck to paycheck.

Who are you talking to?

The idiot claiming people do not make 200k at the entry level in the valley now backpedaling.
>but I meant salary!

? How is that backpedaling? $200k dosh and $200k with a huge chunk of it being (((compensation))) are pretty different. I would much prefer $200k straight salary instead of $110k salary, a sign-on bonus with a bunch of strings attached which I only get if I jump through hoops x y & z, some mediocre benefits and catered lunches. Just give me money.

>all that 'money'
>cant fix his teeth

>a sign-on bonus with a bunch of strings attached which I only get if I jump through hoops x y & z
Literally all you have to do is not be fired within 1 year. You must be an absolute idiot. Stock is better than cash because you're getting free growth during the vesting time.

>Stock is better than cash because you're getting free growth during the vesting time.
Assuming your company doesn't do something monumentally stupid while you're there. Do you actually work in SV or are you just another dork halfway through his CS state school degree projecting his impossible dreams into reality on an anonymous Polynesian doll collecting forum?

>$200k a year as a new grad.
People don't actually believe this do they?

>Assuming your company doesn't do something monumentally stupid while you're there.
If you company has a significant chance of doing something monumentally stupid then it's already factored into the price. You're getting the equivalent of an interest free loan to invest into the stock of a specific company on the market. You would have to be an idiot not to take such a loan, or not know anything about finance.

totes true. MS intern offer this summer is 7250/mo plus 7k for housing and 1.5k for travel.

Thats on the low end of the high end too.

Is unlimited PTO a meme?

When's the next gigantic BDSM drug and sex orgy? My girlfriend's husband invited me to one last week and it was crazy. Managed to get a whole lot of shares and STDs.

Exists at some places. Lots of smarter employers just care that you produce and not when and how you work.

Where were you when Sup Forums became a Sup Forums satellite?

>day 43

i don't remember things that long ago

Seriously, I can't understand how retarded wagecucks can work until they're 65. I would kill myself if I had to do that.

>>open office will be the death of me
libre office 4lyf

i don't know if it would work, I'm too scared to try.
But I do know you'll get more immediate replies to your resume if you submit it with a girls name instead.
Try it sometime, it's infuriating.

Even some mcjob out there probably pays 10x more what I have here and unlike our taxes I could afford a top of the line PC without having to use the credit card to pay in 10 months for a single GPU.
I was going to buy a threadripper because I use blender a lot then found out here it's 1630 dollars for a 1950x and another 1000 for a crappy asrock taichi.

Haha I am saving that pic!

haha whatever makes you feel better about yourself buddy. keep your chin up :^)

pajeet life must be suffering.

this an example of delutional thread.

:^)

>and I will look down and whisper gyno
Thanks lardtits

just the poltards

>Being attracted to men.

Oh wow $2000.
Those are Toronto numbers.
You need to get those numbers up.

Japan is cheap though since the declining population means property values are dropping hard. You can get a house in a suburb of Tokyo for only $300k which is impossible to do in SF, LA, or NYC.

Looks like somebody hit a little too close to home

Meh...fight me virgin.

Ah..! Virgin! Good one!

Mad enough to respond.

Don't you have somewhere else to be right now?

I'm gonna bet "" "" white "" "" Br

>Tokyo suburb
Tokyo is fucking huge. By that logic Sacramento counts as a "suburb" of the valley.

One can dream of Mr Ts return

actually bad teeth is a mark of well-being, and wealth, as you work so much, you have no time for your hygiene. Same goes for taking a shit in the streets, it's sign of royalty, different country different customs.

Underrated

I almost thought this was an erp thread.

Maybe if you get a shitty room mate or something. I make a lot more than what you wrote and even then its difficult to save money if you're not willing to take a hit on living standard.

Then you obviously didn't bother to do your research or your "living standard" is retarded.

I'm from an upper class family, sorry I'm not willing to live with my own shit like you NEETs do.

>but no company hires software dudes at 200,000 american dollars into your pocket at the entry level
I had a summer internship at Apple during my junior year, and all of the software engineering interns were paid around $50/hr.

$120 - $150k is typical. $200k might be a bit of a stretch, but might be doable.

"unlimited PTO" is a jew meme

This sounds too real to be made up

Jesus is this cost of living thing true? I was salty because I heard all these new graduates getting over 120k to work in the valley, I'm getting 80k base pay before benefits working in dallas but my rent is only 900/month for a nice one bedroom apartment.
