Everyday, I regret ragequitting my FANG job when interest rates were low.
My net worth is down about 40% from ATH. I've been unemployed for 16 months while the stock market rebounded. My R-SLURRED financial advisor told me to sell meta stock for capital loss harvesting at all time lows.
My business loses money every quarter. My cofounder does basically nothing and the sales guy quit. 200k went down the drain paying for business expenses and nobody wants to buy this shit at ZIRP prices.
On the plus side the weather in Florida is a lot nicer. Post your suicide suggestions below.

No he has lost 40% of all time high which means he lost more than 200k since he sold meta etc.
All codecels are like this tho.

That's the risk of a small business, man. It may fail. You may do the wrong thing and it may fail, or you may do nothing wrong and still fail. I err on the side of really safe businesses. Low margins, low revenue, but very safe.

Sell off all your assets and start over as a consultant or self-employed, but without a business.
Part of having a business should be realizing you're going to lose money and it may possibly 150% fail.

Bruh go to grad school like me, do nothing with your degree and get into consulting.
Also we're hiring. If you're autisitic af you'd unironically enjoy my company, it's legit one of the nicest place I've ever worked in, and we're big into providing big dumb tech deliverables to big dumb governments.

Consultant chads mog even finance bros. At least we have to get what we're speaking even if what we're saying is fricking impractical. You can say debt financing or accelerated tax deduction is the fricking road ahead for you, but we have to know what those words mean.
Consultant bros blow us out of the fricking water by throwing wild shit like AI, generative learning, deep learning, VVLSI at every client meeting. And the fricking best thing, b-word? The fricking consultant doing that has a fricking degree in medieval history.

I've always been envious of finance bros for knowing what's going on most of the time, but they get austistic really quick when the problem is easily quantifiable by numbers. Part of my job is coming up with new metrics for clients so their finance autists can have numbers with which to do something.

How tf did Meta rebound so much? Did that many people buy-the-dip it back up?
You mean your company's debt?
Jump in the discussion.

Part of it was definitely layoffs because they over hired like everyone else did during ZIRP.
But also, their ads are just good because of the position they occupy. I mean, they poached Google's ad engineers in the early days and they completely dominate Twitter today.
Their AI efforts have value, but this value (llama etc) probably does not make as much of an impact on the share price.
