How long will it take to hit 1Cr salary? (Non-engg background)

Just met a dear friend with 10+ yoe and earning 33L per anam. He doesn't want to get promoted or salary hike as he is getting enough as per need and wants to have good WLB. He is accumulating a 3cr corpus and planning to retire in 10 years in his hometown in Ranchi. Debt free - family house in Ranchi and married with no kids - single income. Isn't the amount very small/too risky? Considering anything can go wrong in future and you should work really hard in 30s to avoid that as much as you can. What's your opinion? Ps. He is also active here and I took permission to ask this question here

Could you share how you did it?

I have seen a lot of questions here about how to become rich or successful. I initially thought I could make a course and shill it on LinkedIn, but then I decided against it. Context is: I work in a field where most around me are making a lot of money, and typically everyone's a crorepati by 26/27. That's what I have seen. Their secrets: 1. They work 12+ hours a day consistently for 5 days a week, and then some more on Saturday (sometimes Sunday). Even at the peak of covid, when everybody was scared and would avoid working, these fuckers would. 2. They are ultra competitive. They will compete on anything, not just work. They are addicted to poker. They will debate anything during lunch time, no matter how frivolous it is. Pure TYPE A folks. 3. They never complain about working hard. It's just second nature for them. Stems from IIT/IIM days, but continues. They don't question it. (I do, because I am not them) 4. They obsess over money. They constantly try to figure out where they can make more money. All invest actively. 5. They are incredibly well read. Can speak at length on any topic. They truly love going deep into a topic and coming out with the crux of it (or so they may think). Now I know one thing. These are very obvious things. Everybody knows if you do this, you probably would become successful. But my takeaway is to do it. It's super difficult. But at my age, I have no option but to not try, now that I have seen how its done.

Overview: Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. What is happening: Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. Why am I concerned: I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later. I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

I’m looking to achieve FIRE, my figure is 8CR. Planning to accomplish it by 2030, I’m 27Yrs old today.

What should I do to reach 100 cr in 10-15 years? I'm an ambitious person who can work his ass off. But I lack direction, I don't know what I should do to get there. Any answer can give me a better perspective. But please refrain from questioning the ambition. I'm in tech and I make 22 lacs/year (4 years of exp) My current portfolio split up: 6 lacs - Nifty 50 MF 5 lacs - FD 10-20 lacs - real estate

Need help with the best strategy to get to a safe corpus of 5 Cr? It has become a very important question because these days even talent does not ensure that you will be earning good or for long. There is too much uncertainty in life. Also, I feel a balanced quality life is more important to me than making money. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai govt job hi sahi hoti hai....🥲🥲
