All you gotta do is pedal hard enough to break the chain and ride straight up the wall.
You can make it if you just believe in yourself!

(although in reality that wall is 10 miles high)

You can only make it to the top by stepping on other people's shoulders

I'd prefer to just spawn at the top, and never have to contemplate that pedaling life.

It not a massive gap like that, but it's tall enough and far enough away that 99.9% of people who try, fall.

At some poinz one has to ask oneself not whether one can, but whether one should. Is it really worth it trying everything and giving your all for a company which will probably ditch you in the end, after all? I don't think so. Don't put in more effort than you expect to get as a result.
