Some background, I went to a T-1 school for my undergrad. Did many great internships and went to several hackathons around the globe. Made great money doing GSoC in my second year. I was the happiest back then. I was making more money than any of my friends, the world was for taking and I was Alexander, the world ripe for conquering.
Fast forward to today and I think I have done a disservice to my potential. Even if I still am the pot-smoking liberal teen that I was, I feel that I could have taken extreme risks when I was young. I could have still gotten my current job easily. I hardly work more than 3-4 hours in a day. I am always wondering what to do with my time and it feels like life has stagnated with nothing to look forward to except how much money I can realistically make over time.
I feel when I look in the mirror, I am still the same person I was. Except, I have lost some hair ofcourse and some hair has turned white(blame bangalore water ig?). Here is my advice to anyone young, hungry, smart and ambitious...

Well some need to reach that level of earning to realize and be in a position to act upon it. You wouldn’t be lost if finance was ur biggest concern. All this mid life crisis happens when all ur needs are met. One fact remains that in ur movie of life u wouldn’t want to watch parts of urself when u r just chasing after money.
@FunnyBones Makes sense. Thank you for the answer.

You’re still just 28, why are you talking like you’re close to retirement age and can’t do anything about it now. Why even wait for a VC? Why not just start?
