I dabbled in code (html/css/js/rails) early on. So I did have programming exposure. Used to spend free time building hobby projects. After college, I did clear the backlogs of course. I worked hard in my first job. I still work hard by the way.

Goals are for amateurs. Follow the process, and sytem you set up for it. I didn’t achieved any of it, but I’m happy for where I’m.

Totally agree. Goals really distract and become a cause for burn out

Yes, I did. I distinctly remember when I gave an interview for the college fest team in 2015. I was asked what do you want to do after graduating from IIT and I answered that I want to earn 1 lkh pm when I graduate after 5 years. It'll solve most of my problems. I did start with the same amount.😉

I wanted to earn 30 L, before I reach age 30.

I have achieved my goal, earning a bit more.

But the whole concept of money changed after pandemic, I consider the real value of money im earning as, earned amount/2

Yep. Less than a year ago I dreamed of being where I am and it's probably harder than I could've ever imagined, very very demanding, but I'm still very happy!

Same bro 🤣 after reading comments I am realising my goals were relatively too low that can also be a result of too less exposure to tech industry.
