if youre trying to make it as a solopreneur and want to remain a company of one, you should look at examples of people really doing it solo - Paul Millerd

I aim to be mediocre in most of my effort

theres a widespread tech skepticism of prestigious paths in things like law, consulting, banking etc.

feels more like east coast envy than good critiques. many of these are great jobs, people learn a ton, and end up leading many companies (including tech ones)

most people who aren't wired for these paths, or approach it cynically, or try to play optionality dont actually last that long or eventually find a more stable regular sort of job

i think for the most part the critique is less about these jobs and much broader in that more people dont seem to do interesting things path wise even if they have wealth and income earlier in life

when you reinvent your life and steer in a new direction, there is a wandering phase almost all must pass through

you can put this off and distract yourself for years

but thou shall wander through the lostness of life one way or another
