Borrow more and try again. Do it till it's out of your system. Then declare bankruptcy and start over.

How much have you lost so far?

Something about the dopamine rush. Honestly maybe declare bankruptcy and start over. Have someone else control your money and not you. It's weird when u have a gambling addiction in a capitalist society. You can't just not have money, but you need to remove yourself from the thrill of taking chances with it at all costs

Hello!

I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
