Capitalism has its limitations. 

Being employed or being your own boss both require mindfully not becoming a slave.

To be the master of your own destiny is true empowerment.

While money is important so is knowledge.

The hindu iconography of Lakshmiji, Ganeshji ans Saraswatiji emobies the message of this post.

Do not spend all your time, resources and energy in only earning a salary or creating profits for a start up or an employer.

Differentiate economic goals from purpose in life.

Work to live or live to work?- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

If there is one thing you can learn from Ambani’s wedding, it’s the fact that money is the only objective measure of power and influence in this world.

-

The biggest rivals politically, share the stage and greet each other 
The biggest rivals in cricket, dance with each other
The biggest rivals in cinema, greet each other 
The biggest rivals within family, help each other 
The biggest rivals in business, hug each other

You should strive to make as much money as you possible can because money is power. You don't do it for pleasure; you do it because that's how you win. You do it because in this ruthless world, being on top is the only safe place to be. Money is your shield and your weapon, and without it, you're nothing.

-

You make as much money as possible because, let's face it, money's fun. It's the key to all the cool stuff—power, parties, private jets, you name it. Sure, it's also about proving yourself and not being the screw-up everyone thinks you are, but mainly it's about the thrill. Making money means you're in the game, you're relevant, and you can do whatever the hell you want. 

-

Plus, it gives you the leverage to tell people to screw off and actually get away with it. So, yeah, stack that cash and enjoy the ride.

-

You make as much money as possible because it’s your ticket to security and status. In this family and in this world, wealth is what keeps you safe and respected. It’s about climbing the ladder and proving you belong at the top, even if you weren’t born into it. With money, you gain leverage, influence, and the ability to protect yourself in a cutthroat environment. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to enjoy the finer things and have a buffer against the chaos that comes with being alive in this world. 

-

You make as much money as possible because it’s about breaking boundaries and redefining what’s possible. It’s not just about the money—it’s about the disruption, the innovation, and staying ahead of the curve.

8cr+ worth, 3-4 lacs nvidia stocks was all they needed in 2013-14

They have bought expensive villas of 5cr+

But looks like now Jensen Huang has tightened the belt and Nvidia guys need to get time off to spend that money 🤑 

Hilarious times

Excuse me for being all philosophical and emo but surely this isn’t what life is all about! Waiting for weekends, sleep deprived weekdays, questioning “what am I doing” every second week? Like what are we even solving for? The governments and corporates control it all while we work like puppets. 

Does having something of your own (a business for the lack of a better example) make things better? 

Thoughts?

Is a corporate job really it?

Don't work for 70h/week

The US is in its late stage capitalist phase, a ship that's going to sink for the next 50 years. If you're a young person there it doesn't make sense to work as hard as your Grandpa the reward on average isn't as great. 

India on the other hand is poised to become a great multi-trillion $ economy.

Onto something huge. We're talking like 10x growth of the economy here.

Start-ups that have made it like Razorpay, Swiggy, PayTM, even Cred, if they survive will be really huge as capital in the country, liquidity and lifestyles go up over the next 50 years. 

Be the capitalist, take the risks, make bets, work and stack up promotions and money.

Don't join an Infosys and work 70 hours there, do it for a start up of any scale you believe is going to make it. Or better yet start your own.

Product Manager

From my college days I always wanted to start something of my own. After my graduation I started my own company then closed due to the pandemic. Post the pandemic I joined a company. Got married. I want to start something of my own now and am very scared because in 1 year we will have a baby I don't know what to do. Financially not capable of starting as well. I need to save for the future. I am having a big time existential crisis is anyone going through the same thing? Being a woman and being highly motivated with a lot of challenges itself is challenging.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Want to discuss if sabbatical being a taboo is valid and peoples opinions of it.
I will start with mine
Background - 
8 years in tech 
3 company switches 
Sabbatical of 1 month, 3 month and 6 month between each break.
Personal experience - quite enriching. Though there was panic and anxiety of not having a job during the period, it truly helped me take a step back, reassess my career trajectory, and mostly just Destress and re prioritise

Every now and then i loose my true love for tech and product and the sabbaticals helped me to rediscover that by just reading about technology that was not outcome driven ( like for switching a job) 
Quite rewarding each time in terms of salary jumps also. I think i was able to make a better case for myself at a particular position just because i had more time to process stuff from last job. 
It also helped me make better decisions for next thing which has in general helped me shape my career better ( i think atleast) 

Open to anyone sharing their stories/perspectives related to sabbaticals
