what is your deepest Regret in 2023?
When I look outside my room I feel sad. I can see grey skies of Delhi. It is so cold. No one to hug or embrace. My heart Is hurting a lot. I dont know why. I worked so hard. I spend 10-12 hours at work and I have no time for friends and family. I also make good money (86LPA/6YOE). I have no time to spend this money. My family is happy with me because I am successful. My gf is happy with me because I can afford her lifestyle and give her nice gifts and experiences. I am borderline depressed. All my friends are from work. I feel like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
you are a Student. you don't know what it takes to make this much money.
You go all the way. You sacrifice everything to become this successful.

Haha as if you know me. Stop bullshiting the channel by showing off. You surely worked hard to get there but you can involve in many things. You have to come out to see the bigger world. Ek kue ka maindhak kya jaane duniya kitni badi hai.

Thoda ghumo i guess. Personally i have found that if i a travel bit, it keeps me bit less depressed.
Yeah bro so true. I went on solo road trip in Switzerland and it was the best road trip for me.

My deepest regret is residing in my comfort shell. I will try to get out of comfort zone in the upcoming year.

Never understood this concept of getting out of comfort zone. We work hard to get into that zone in first place. Why leave?. Plan for exigencies, but why should one leave?.
This is like working hard to build a house and then deciding to sleep in the open. Because we should leave the comfort zone of the house and be prepared for homelessness.

Follow ur hobbies.
Like travel, read spiritual books and zoom out to see ur life with a new perspective.
Will your gf love u the same way if u get laid off tomorrow?
Live your life.
Satisfy ur soul not society.
Hope u gotta my point.

Je bat londe... I will suggest to read kathopnishad and Swami Vivekananda's and sarvapriyananda YouTube content over gist of Vedas. NY vedanta society channel name.
If we assume cosmos as a calendar we are living in 31st December, single second. So, just think different and enjoy ur life purpose fully.

"My family is happy with me because I am successful. My gf is happy with me because I can afford her lifestyle and give her nice gifts and experiences."
every one loves you cuz you are making money? kinda sad bruh..
I feel you have sort of aimed at money and money alone. and that is what you are getting in return. Everything seems to be a tick mark on a bucket list.
Maybe ring up some failed school mates or college mates and ask them how is it going.. try giving them your time.. see how folks who are less "successful' are trying to live life. Have relationships with folks who have nothing to do with your money. See how it goes.
good idea but the only problem is that all that effort requires time which I have so little of. I will try during Sunday.

I know it's difficult but if you are earning so well I believe you can afford a break atleast. Take 6 months break if you can. Go to some warm place and start learning something new or reconnect with your old hobbies and your old friends. Having a lot of money also means nothing when you are not happy with it. Try to keep a balance. Hope you figure it out!
No regrets as such this year but the layoff hit me really bad.
I was looking fwd to finally working from office, coming to Blr and hanging out with my colleagues and friends but none of it could come true.
And now here I am, working from home in a company with not so friendly env. Everyday thinking about where my career is heading gives me anxiety. There have been lots of personal setbacks too this year.
Sorry for highjacking your past, but I just felt like letting it out after reading your post. I hope the next year turns out to be better for you, OP.

I don't have any regrets all the decisions I took turned out to be the best, some decisions were quite painful but needed.
At one point how much you earn means nothing compared to the time you are dedicating. Your life seems nothing more than a machine where you are just stuck in your working schedule. You should try to bring change in your routine. Maybe a break is all you need.

@DelhiGW maybe reconnect with childhood friends, move closer to where your firneds are. Or get new friends it's very hard as an adult ik but going to places like cricket club meetups etc can be done, get virtual friends where you play some game which is also easy as you will get people who share common interest as you.
Also I know its an off topic question, but how to get into a job like you in vc, are you from top iim/isb/iit? How can someone like me with pre mba experience in swe and prodoct get into these roles when they aren't offered at campus. Any referrals for entry levels positions.?, 😁

Money is almost irrelevant when it comes to happiness. I barely earn anything as a bootstrapped founder, but I spend most of my time with friends or family. Much happier now than i was before trying to earn more.
High income is more of a trap, you keep upgrading your lifestyle when you don't need to and end up becoming slaves to the work/money instead of vice versa.
More money=more avenues to spend and more ways to grow/secure it=more headache
Spending time with good people is invaluable, money will never compare.
Success isn't defined by the money you earn dost. Paisa ke bhaar bhi ek zindagi hai

You make 86 LPA, have a gf and still no one to hug. That sounds like being really whipped. What's the point of being in a relationship where you cannot hug each other ? You seem to be in a bad relationship, not Bateman.
