•Inflation: 6.7%
•Income Tax: 32-35%
•GST: 5-28%
•Road Tax on New Vehicle: 13-18%
•& Capital Gains, Wealth, Corporate Tax
That’s exactly why you need to have multiple sources of income to compensate for inflation and taxes.
Aren’t we exploited as Taxpayers?

Contrarian take: joining a startup/scaleup that raised lots of money, has lots of hype and is usually a net career accelerator, even if the startup doesn't do well.
1. You got paid well.
2. You have a network of ambitious people.
3. You get plenty of career opportunity inbounds

Junior engineer:
Take this tightly defined feature & build it
Mid-level engineer:
Take this vaguely defined feature & build it
Senior engineer:
Take this known problem & figure out how to solve it
Staff engineer:
Take this goal & find the problems we should be solving

The biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make have nothing to do with money
- Who you marry
- How you treat your body
- How you spend free time
- Who you spend time with
Nothing is more expensive than bad habits and bad company

PSA: If you’re trying to get a job at an early-stage startup, do not say you're looking for a "strategy" role.
My inbox is filled with MBAs asking for strategy roles.
Pre-Series A, that's usually the founders' job.
I need help building and selling. Not "strategy"

How do you choose why company to join? and mostly the answer lies in what are you optimizing for.
1. In early days, optimize for learning - 0 - 5 years, work hard
2. In 5-10 - shape up your thinking, optimize for collaboration, communication and impact
