Completed 20 years in software industry
Worked in IT sector, product sector and now with FAANG. Total NW: 6 Crore+. A few takeaways: 1. To make money, take risks. 2. To stay happy, invest immensely in your family. 3. Money can't buy happiness, but it does buy Status and Respect in Indian society. 4. Health is still the most important thing, never neglect it. 5. Casual flirting can keep you young and motivated to look young.
Good learnings. But about “money can’t buy happiness”, surly it can but short term happiness.
Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy the things which makes you happy. Even that could be short time.

Joined Microsoft recently with 1cr+ TC. It's so much stress. Wondering if it's worth it.

You are where I aspire to be, I'm just working in a service based company now, and tbh I don't know what to learn in order to get into meta.

Beg to differ on point 3. Only money buys happiness, if you have no money, your girlfriend, wife, family, friends or relatives won't care for you in the long run. If no one cares for you and you don't have sufficient money to cover your wants and needs. Then anyways you are unhappy.
Please don't get me wrong, but these days only those people who have a good amount of money in their bank balance, preach on not to run after money 🙏
Se, there are broadly 2 scenarios: your locus of happiness is either internal or external. If it's external, money is a big factor in obtaining this. If it's internal, money is needed up to a particular threshold which helps you meet your worldly obligations and desires. Once you cross that threshold, the law of diminishing returns kicks in and money doesn't matter beyond that.

Hopefully, last point was relevant for outside of work as HR may come if you try to do this at work
Please elaborate the 1st point. Like what type of risks and how much calculated?
Risky but calculated investments. Risky job changes. Risky assignments. You'll be alright, don't worry. Always push the envelope!

This one advice (point 5) will make you look young forever. Dermatologists don't want you to know this!
20 year experience and flirting.
Retire ASAP and enjoy with your pension 😀

I am staring my career in tech & you are probably end of it .
I want to ask some questions.(pls be honest , raw , real)
Q1 : why did you choose to build your career in tech .
Q2 : If you get the opportunity to restart your career , will you still build your career in tech during this time, or choose something else.
Whatever you choose , pls tell me your reasoning for choosing that .
1. I started programming from my 8th grade. I think I didn't achieve what I could have
2. Go for Masters from a USA University. Not to settle abroad, but to learn how to build systems in different techs. If I was in my 20s today, I would have done Masters (online) from Georgia Tech.

Did you switch over to management? Or is it fine to be in a Tech role at that level?
