business vs job, 22M need carrer advice

A little about myself: 22, just graduated Btech CS from tier 1 college, got placed in a few tier 1 companies, baniya (relevant), and good at engineering in general ( won several actually honourable awards internationally, from government of India, some IIT random techfests, etc). Point of telling this being to get some credibility for the readers so that they don’t take me as a young dumb overconfident 20yr old. (maybe I am?) I really want to earn money, probably in my genes, my father wants the same for me. My dad has a decent wholesale business (around 1cr per year profit) and I don’t mind moving in it as well. It’s recommended to stay sometime in corporate to learn the nitty gritties of life and other aspects. I don’t mind that either. Personally, I want to get into entrepreneurship, but again it’s easier said that done, how to start, idea, implementation and everything else it’s just the tip of the iceberg. People of my age (some of them being close to me as well) have started their ventures and have got funding upto 500k USD and it makes me jls. I’ll be probably joining an MNC and will stay for around 1 year and then see how it goes. I’ll be really helpful if fellow grapeviners can shed some words of wisdom on how to go on here to a startup/business/high earning journey?

Your family financials are good, you are young and talented. Ideal to fulfill your ambitions. Funding money doesn't guarantee success for startups and they are not gonna take all of it home, so chill. Don't surrender to FOMO Strom mate. Working at MNC is good, might be productive. But If you really interested and currently have no perfect startup plan or vision or team; I would suggest to go and work for a startup. You will have a close look at startup workings, will learn fast and would have better self-introspection and understanding of your capabilities and ambitions. Best of luck

If you wanna do entrepreneurship, working in an MNC isn't gonna help. If you are really serious about building a startup, go work at a startup and see how things really works. Startups seem cool from outside, but the reality of running a startup is very different. There's no other way to learn than to experience it yourself and work in that environment. You are a CS guy, you can easily get a job in a startup if you are really skillful. Also startup is any company before Series B or with less than 100 employees.
