How to reach $10M in my 30-ish?

Background: 25 yo - starting my career with $180k TC. I wonder if there is any suggestions / advice / learned lessons to reach $10M net worth in my 30-ish. Should I grind for coparate ladder? Or should I start my own startup? Or Should I do something else? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

if there was an easy answer to make $10 million in 5 years there’d be a lot more people with $10 million

Extreme option with still low probability. 1. Your own successful startup. 2. Top HFT with path breaking idea 3. Gambling/ Stocks 4. Marry someone rich

Corp ladder isn’t gonna get you 10M. You need to average 1.5M+ income per year to hit 10M after taxes

Go to a vegas roulette table with $1, put it on black and let it ride for 24 spins.

I would suggest red. I tried black and it didn't work for me.

There is no way climbing corporate ladder can get you 10 mil by 30-ish. Successful start up can get you there(or fail miserably) but require some luck. I would say follow your heart and just do it without regrets. Another option is to become a really good investor(some initial capital required though).

25->38. Save 50% TC. 33% will go to taxes and keep to 17% rent. Diversify extremely for 6% years gains. Promo/jump ship to 250k in a couple years, 350k after a few more years, 500k after a few more. It’s possible

Oh wow. It’s hard to imagine myself could possibly make 500K. I am currently working as an junior SWE at a non-FAANG company in the Bay Area.
