Ask HN: How do you make big bucks and get out of grinding?
Like everyone else here, I work for a tech company. I work and live in Seattle. I make around 130k with nearly 10 yrs of experience.<p>It seems though, I am grinding without a lot results. I was in bay area before with dieing tech company.<p>I have tried to see if I can do my own side project or startup, but I have not gone past idea. I don&#x27;t know frontend development and I don&#x27;t feel motivated to learn due to 60 to 70 hrs (including  travel) each week.<p>All I do is get up, go to the work,  go to gym, work again and sleep. No wonder that I am lifelong single person and despite being in shape no woman has shown interest in me or agreed to date me.<p>I don&#x27;t know if I am burned out.<p>I can&#x27;t figure out how can I get out of rust and daily grinding. I want to make big bucks 300k or more. I know goog&#x2F;fb pay that much; but I don&#x27;t have master&#x27;s degree to command that much salary. I am not a native American as well.
I am 31 by the way.<p>What did you do to get out of rust and how did you do it?
