Lately I am kind of feeling I am living a pointless life . Looking for suggestions. I am 25 years old. I am rich and my net-worth is around 1.8M . Sources are real estate , stocks etc . I worked really hard for the last 4 years in my career and moved up quickly with best of the people around . At some point I felt I should make my TC as good as others working at FANG and joined amazon. I am not enjoying my workplace and miss my previous colleagues, bosses each day . I have issues with my seniors at amazon. They are bossy . I am happy that they make me fix even the minute errors before I checkin the code , but I feel annoyed when I point somethings that are wrong with their designs. They say something like this problem is not there today , so we ignore it . Let’s take care of it when need arises . What’s the point in having a good design then ? I sometimes feel I should go to a startup at a high position and make an impact, n sometimes I feel like going back to my country and taking care of the business there ( At the same time I’m scared to leave the job at this early age). I would love have a startup , but all the ideas I pitch in, my friends deny. I’m am neither having fun like my other friends. I’m not dating anyone, neither do I party. Just feeling I’m living a pointless life . I make a TC 220k . But I’m not happy ! Update : Those asking about my NW . Some of the real estate decisions we made in the last years was really helpful though I have loans which the properties are paying for themselves with little contribution from me . My family contributed as well initially . I dint start with $0
TC:220k and Net worth 1.8 million. 4 years of work. Something doesn’t check out here. Either there’s some mistake or you’re warren buffet at investing

I’m in similar situation. Move to a company with better WLB and focus on side income streams while you build your network and brand. Explore conferences and VCs and connections in areas that interest you. Write a how-to book on something. Advise for free for a while. After a few years you’ll be ready to make a pitch.
how did you make that much with that low of a TC

I agree with volunteering and dating. Dating is fun to meet new people and seeing if someone is worth bringing into your life. Volunteering is cool because you can help others in need.
I’m an introvert till I know someone well . This is making it hard to meet new ppl n date . Any suggestion on how I can improve ? Volunteering , I want to do later in my life .
Money doesn’t buy happiness
Build or invest in startups. It’s helped give me new income streams and something interesting to do.
Contracting?You can contract for 8 months and then travel for 3-4 months.
