People act like my story is unbelievable, but there’s really nothing extraordinary about it if you break it down:
-Got hired to work for 3 months in the US? About 1 million foreign workers enter the U.S. annually on employment-based visas (H-1B, L-1) and I'm not even part of that figure I am just here for 3 months.
-Making $50/hr in tech? That’s the standard rate for a ITcel in my role. especially on contract roles. Check any job board. I am underpaid if anything for the roles and responsibilities
-Graduated from a top university? Sure but so do thousands of others every single year. I just worked hard, like many others.
-Bench pressing 120 kg? That’s what consistent training over 2+ years gets you. It’s only impressive for someone who has never set foot in the gym. Also posted proof to gymcels here
-Splurging on ralph lauren and watches ? I had zero living costs in university. my parents covered my expenses. I saved all the money I earned from internships and freelance work that I already showed.
-Your IP keeps bouncing? Yeah I use Cloudflare WARP. It’s a free tool anyone can download. Even you can do it. I also freeze my IP sometimes with WARP+ Teams
-How were you in the army? I did serve in the army youth. I literally posted my medals and my pictures in full uniform on here a 2 years ago. Again millions of people do this every year and I joined like 30+ clubs in college
-You can speak German? Yes I can. I had to learn a foreign language as a part of my course i picked german. I thought if I was learning german I might aswell learn it properly and go all the way to make it another life skill so I went all out and learnt it. I even send @deadstock a vocaroo of me speaking in german
-Why are you always online? I'm awake at all hours because I work in DevOps.This isn't some cozy 9-to-5. I'm on-call for incidents. If a system breaks at 2 AM, I'm the one fixing it. Ask anyone in DevOps it's demanding and 24/7 but roles do get rotated which is why I was very inactive last week
So what part of this is supposed to be “unbelievable”? Please tell me what kind of great superman work did I do for people to question me? Did I land a rocket on the moon or did I become a billionaire overnight. What is so unrealistic about a 20-year-old Indian guy doing IT work in the US who was part of the army club and did freelancing in uni?
