People over 35 what is one thing you regret from your younger years?

/s [ also hoping to have some responses from people in their 30s & 40s for insights ] pls don’t say boards dene ki jagah crypto kharidna tha 2014 me🫠

I work at a small startup that was acquired by a large corporate, primarily via high level contacts of the founders rather than technical due diligence. Founders and employees cash out big FAANG-level payslips without bothering about any actual work or revenue. Being in my late 20s, I believe that our energetic youth should be spent on doing something that we are proud of, when we look back on our younger days. Imagine yourself in your 60s, and your grandchildren look up to and ask you about your life. I would definitely get depressed if I had to tell them that I did nothing of significance, just collected my salary. In this context, I have been telling a few of my close colleagues how we can learn specific tech stacks which are in demand, in interesting domains that we can shift to, if applying to other companies. However, recently I came to know that some of these colleagues have shared screenshots of my conversations with management and claimed that I am violating company policy by apparently encouraging people to apply elsewhere. Didn't see it playing out like this, so it's a shocker for me. Going forward, what would you suggest? Keep my mouth shut and be company policy-wise correct with people to avoid such backstabbers? Or should I continue to be honest and just change company myself?

All the things that one has done so far at times you feel you could have taken different path. Could have studies different subject (AI/ML/Tech?) Could have started something of your own after passing out from college Could have work harder on this which can give disproportionate returns( both personal and professional) Getting married early and investing as early as possible. I try to be grateful for things which I already have (and there are so many) but then there are moments where you feel you could have done better much better actually

You are 35. What have you stopped believing in that you totally believed in when you were 25?

for me. i spent college studying for grades and 20s making money in a job I don't like, but never got to make the memories I should've with all my friends. I regret doing all of that
