Looking back on your career, do you wish you worked harder when you were younger or enjoyed life more outside of work and travelled more? TC 250 Yoe 3
Work hard until you have enough money to retire
Just content, have more money than most 40 year olds will ever see
I wish I didn’t work at startups, it’s good times but good times can be had in public companies too. Other than that I enjoyed my life well. Never cared too much about work until covid. Traveled enough, partied enough.
Turning 40 and near director level, could be worse or could be fine. Altogether happy where I’m at but could take on 1-2 levels more
Wish I had worked in a faang type place where my hard work would matter; vs a company like Cisco where hard workers vs coasters did’ t make much difference..basically was’ r rewarded for it..but didn’t leave due to comfort level.
49 here, 2 kids. I wished I worked smarter. I was VP at 34. I took next role as a director with a big pay bump. Stayed for 5 years. Actually every role was 4-5 years. I should have moved on faster and never take the level downgrade. Would be svp today or CPO, instead of a VP 15 years later.
I'm content with my choices and trajectory. Wouldn't change anything.
Neither, I kept it balanced.
Not 40 yet, 4 years from there. Even though I did my part of traveling and clubbing in my 20s I could have done more. It’s a balance and now I’m here to take money so hopefully my family is financially independent and I quit working at 45 with millions under our name.
I don't understand the appeal of clubbing. Dancing? Getting laid? Ingesting toxins (alcohol) into ur body?
If you don’t, you don’t.
