Find a bank offering a certificate of deposit with a 10,000% interest rate. Go to a roulette table, put it all on black. Repeat seven times.

This was my thought initially, but then I remembered that casinos usually declare maximum bets. I'm not sure you can place $640,000 on black in one spin.

Fairly risk-free way (well, compared to alternatives): invest $10K in interview prep, negotiation coaching etc. Get a FAANG job. Live frugally. In a few years you'll have your $1M.

Maybe the OP is smarter than the rest of us.
