Not sure where will I work next ? Sometimes I feel lost & have imposter sendrome like in close to 4 years what have I learnt & excelled?when will I earn more ?

But I have a many ambitious like built my own startup , write articles and earn, travel for treking , become fit, become a indie hacker , speak at conference internationally as well, work at top startups & innovate things?

Bro, you have to start by breaking down your problems and goals into smaller pieces and then tackle each independently. That’s a good skill to develop now.

Step 1. Write down on paper what goals you want to achieve, money wise, lifestyle etc. Step 2. Write down the steps needed to make those goals reality. Follow these steps one by one.

Over time you will reach your desired goals. It takes consistency. You don't have to do it in one step alone. That's just my 2 cents. Probably people more experienced in life than me will chime in too.

Your career is in your hands. External factors probably aren’t. Focus on yourself and make right calls accordingly. Once you see that you are stable then make calls about marriage. Obviously a contractual job may not be defined as stable to some but what really matters is if you are content and happy with where you are at the moment.
