- Leaving my comfortable job at Google to pursue the career growth dream.
- Taking more than 50% salary cut to so a more exciting job with no hope for a salary increase in the near future.
- Not able to afford the regular family yearly vacation and settle down to a short road trip for two years.
- Taking my kids out of their favorite excessing classes because we can not afford to let them play multiple sports.
- Settling down with one modest family size car and returning my fancy sport leased car.
- Going to bed every night wondering if giving up a decent salary and a comfortable life for a more exciting work was selfish decision, how could I just think about myself and ignore my family.
All of this today is gone, and it just feels so good not to think it was a wrong decision and it was not just me being irresponsible and selfish. All what I always have been hoping for is to just break even with what I was going to be getting from Google. I honestly don’t care about getting anymore. I just want to get this guilt out of me. Today, this seems so close to be a reality and it feels so fucking good.
@butwhy dont take things personally..i m talking about my experience..i did not study leetcode at all...people investing in stocks invest out of sentiments..if they really cared about the math they would invest in etfs, indices etc. Snap going to 50-60 is a possibility vs fb going to 200...so definitely reward potential is high with snap but if u read my earlier comment properly i did mention about risk

Good luck to all the dreamers out there.
