Isolated in Germany

Busted my balls and killed it in Q2. Never posted here so no one knows my comeback story, but after getting axed at H1 Business Review 2022 I gave it my all since Fall at a new company and am overachieving so far. Big commish coming in and I should feel great, but honestly im kinda lonely.

I live in a Uni town in Germany with 100k population and there isn't anyone who really understands what I do. Ain't no one my age slangin SaaS, much less understand the concept of Commission-based remuneration. People ask stupid shit like "at least you get overtime right?" Nah bro I get paid on my success, apparently a foreign concept no one seems to understand here. Most people could give a shit if they do their job well or not, zero ambition. No one understands why I've been so stressed out, or why I am manic all of a sudden.

Friends I grew up with are absolute tossers institutionalized in some form be it wage slavery, academia, or locked up. I'm wary of bragging about my success to friends and family, because all of a sudden everyone needs a fucking favor.

Any advice on community building or should I just go on a bender until it's time to grind again?

What should I focus on during summer holiday?

My friends know very little about what I do, because I’m not defined by my work. My friends group includes a trauma surgeon, a high level HR exec, several smart funny people in various levels of academia, a steelworker, lawyers, Chippies, realtors… you know what I enjoy? Funny stories and camaraderie. We all have crazy ups and downs, but honestly, I don’t need to hear any other war stories from work.

Have some fun and chill.

Bit of a condescending post here lad; show some gratitude for your situation. Yes, you worked hard, but there is often luck involved.

Tossers why? Because they chose something different? Academia sounds pretty ambitious to me.

What do you love doing on freetime? Any meetups you could join? And meet some new people and friends? People from work?

When I was young... I was more work oriented than my friends. But I didn't see it as a bad thing. We all grew up to be ambitious in our own ways

Are you living your values? Are you living out your passions?

For example I like improving things and myself. Sales allows me to that. It allows me to have money for travel. But sales itself is not my passion. I do not dream of labor

Of course the Europeans don’t understand pay for performance. That’s why they work 28 hours weeks and get 4 months vacation per year.

You’re killing it and kudos to you!
