Just a long rant about life

When i was in college i wanted to build my own company/product. Thought of many ideas and tried to build something. None of them worked and it affected my studies so I had to quit just to clear my exams.

After college I took placements in a WITCH like company where I got put into data entry/operations job after clearing difficult coding interviews (kismat kharab?). Somehow learnt new technologies on the side and managed to switch to a development role at a lower salary in a startup.

After 3 years Worked hard on DSA and (barely) managed to get a good offer with above average pay. But the company is not stable anymore and may layoff at any time. Right now struggling to learn enough DSA to crack any company. Now I am almost 30, i have no hobbies,no talents, no relationships just trying to have a stable career.

I see people everywhere doing so many things at once. How do they manage to do this. They are working at FAANG and managing businesses at the same time, have a bunch of friends. What am I doing wrong?

It is just luck + hardwork man. Work harder at everything and you will get there.

It gets better - don't worry about everything all at once. Take it one day at a time, with persistence, luck is bound to be in your favor one day 😀

Focus on one single thing, go to the gym or play something to keep physical & mental sanity, and career - think from an employer perspective & again optimize for one particular role.

Don't feel that you are the only one walking this road. But because in today's fast pace life everybody is dealing with their struggles and barely discuss with anyone.
No real friends (which will do bitching at your back) and relatives are another story.
But plz rem you are not alone on this path... there are so so many people walking in silos.

God bless you and have patience.
