[guide] How I made 1Cr+ in 5 years without working too hard?

Here are my rules:

1. Forget about starting a startup. It’s overrated and a waste of time.

2. Focus only on the popular tech skills that every company wants today. Avoid niche tech— stick to AWS, JS, Python, and React. You will thank me for this. Go and Rust might be the future but you will have time to pick that up later.

3. Accept a full-time remote job, even if it pays lesser than your in office job. You'll save money, and it’ll be worth it.

4. Ditch the big cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi. Move to a smaller town nearby; it's smarter and cheaper. You can still network yet save money.

5. Leave any job that requires too much work or too many meetings. Meetings are the mind-killer. You’ll quickly find another job because you specialized.

6. Take two-month vacations between jobs or contracts. You deserve it. It will help you decide what you want to do next in life.

7. Do this for 7 years while investing most of your salary in a diversified portfolio. Don’t go too crazy with degen gambling/ fantasy apps/ futures and options/ trading etc.

Congratulations. You’re now rich like any other senior programmer that invested, but you’ve worked less, and for fewer years.
