Age 38 TC 200K - hating current job on H1b, don’t even feel like exploring new job, as I eventually want to start up something .

Working on prototype but it’s going slow.

Need to contact angel investors (as not much savings) but that is going slower

How do I get out of this vicious circle ?

    You need some perspective, less than 2% of Americans achieve 200K TC at any age. If you take world as whole you are like in top 0.1% in terms of income.

  • There is this Japanese proverb "when you chase two chickens, you'll be left empty handed" or something like that.

    I also tried doing startup and failed badly. It pushed my career back by several years. Failure is part of life, embrace it.

    Good to see someone around my age earning more or less near to what I do. Not that I am jealous of ppl earning a lot or those who earn less... But seeing sky high TCs depress me to the core and then I slowly get back to normal. Sometimes I wonder is it me that's bad or too many ppl better be than me. Only be thing I am glad about is I have a PhD and got my GC in 8 months.

    • I also have PhD - biggest dragger for income for age. I don’t feel great when some people say he gets more money and better title even though he only has bachelors. They try to feel great by saying that.
