10 years corporate journey - reflections

To tell in one line: I know I am not CEO material. I am not ok with the never ending corporate rat race and it's time to optimise my time and start building something on my own. The game is rigged towards high end degrees and rightly so. I don't want to aim for a unicorn level but a simple trader who rakes in 2 lakh a month - that's the level I want to achieve and grow at a steady pace.

I am not even a corporate material bro. Love to sleep afternoons. Game is rigged towards extroverts and socially pleasing personalities.
