This makes me question, what are we truly seeking in our lives? Will we ever be happy? Will anything ever suffice?
I am a graduate of 2023, living in Bangalore, and life has not treated me so well. I have tried everything from 6 months of assessment internships to sending dms, cold emails to partners of corporate law firm. None were of any use whatsoever.
I am a competitive person. In my internships, I made sure I provided the most amount of value. However, the partner decided to cost-cut instead and used me as cheap labour. Fuck it, you give me a SaaS agreement or a Shareholders Agreement right now, I'll make a whole draft from scratch just to show you that I have genuine skills.
But everything feels so gloomy now. I feel like quitting and becoming a delivery guy instead. It'd atleast they'd pay double the amount
