I’m currently single and want to put aside as much time as possible to learn stuffs to secure future financial success. Earning a fixed salary and putting all eggs on promotion doesn’t fit into my personality. Leetcode my way out seems legit, but if you categorize my time investment problem into a bin packing dp question, then there are multiple better options to put into my time box. So question: what to learn, besides leetcoding, to maximize earning potential in 10 years?
IMO: invest in your physical and mental health, and learn how to learn quickly (if you don't already know).
ty for the feedback
What would you recommend to improve your ability to learn how to learn?
Passive income streams: last few years spent quite a bit learning about how to optimize my financial investment and tax efficiencies
@kmuD53: mind to share what you learned on tax efficiencies? Any reference/book do you recommend to educate oneself, or suggest to consult with a financial advisor?
Bogleheads.com is a good place to start It’s better to learn how the system works then you can figure out what is best for you There are so many variables always changing i would imagine it’s hard to optimize with a financial adviser. For example this new tax bill, do you know how it impacts you and what you can adjust? Or do I just wait around for my next financial adviser meeting and hope they provide good advice
Social skills and networking. What percentage of all people you ever met could you call for a favor today? How many of them would even remember who you are? How many of them would YOU remember? I once met a pro sports player at a charitable event, we talked for a while. Five years later, I ran into him in a completely different context, and he remembered who I was and what I did. I mentioned this to someone who knew him and they said he had worked on that since he started his career, when he realized he was going to be meeting a lot of people who would remember the meeting more easily than he did.

Way to go
My goal is to try to not to get caught up in the rat race and take more time outside of work for hobbies and friends.
Right on.
What about investing time in side projects ?

Learn the way of stock market... the top dogs do make millions... it is somewhat like poker. 80% chance with 20% skills. But 20% skill is the one seperating one that lose 1million with one that earns 1 million
What will matter on your death bed? Do those things. Watch the movie "All the money in the world", it just came out.
Product/design/entrepreneurial skills. So many possibilities for passive income if you can ship decent stuff by yourself.
eye catching product to gain customer base is only the first step. The real question is finding a market niche to establish proprietary information barrier for a short period of time, which leads to question what to read / learn to find such opportunity and scientifically evaluate it before all in
Design is so much more than "eye catching." You should absolutely learn more about UX and product work. It'll help in many endeavors!
