Mirin, its either climbing the corporate ladder vs. starting ur own venture

Starting your own venture is the extremely risky and time consuming

Higher risk higher reward

Higher risk higher reward

Generally the ones who start ventures do with VCs and only invest a small portion of it and depending on trajectory,get involved more. It's like first dipping your toes first to assess the depth ahead

You'd be surprised at the Indian nepotism going inside big corpos. I have personal experience at Amazon and most of Indian L6 are complete frauds.

I don't deny nepotism exists in tech industry. I've seen it too but there are many deserving people in top positions also who get lumped with them. I think it's quite common for people to have preference for people of their own ethnicities. It happens sub-consciously too.

I am not completely against it. Obviously for certain positions having access to company secrets, they need to be people they can trust so it all the upper positions are generally internal hires. It affects the lower level employees the most usually. Around Seattle, I've seen entire teams made up of people from the same family or community.

To be honest I only have a personal grudge because I was robbed a promotion because of this.

From my experience Indians are very good workers for the system because they are very methodical and taught to be exactly what executives want and need. they usually excel at what higher ups want from employees so once they get under good managers they really start going up and up. I am jealous that they can be such good capitalistic workers without any problem honestly.

i dont know why but every single one of your threads makes me want to lock in and finally start taking care of my life

why do i find a random indian CTO life story so inspiring when its written by you

you should become a motivational speaker or something idk

For me it's the opposite I don't find any motivation looking at people focusing just on working for 20+ years, work is not my main goal.
