@Akshat_World Corporate tax rate isn’t 30%. GST is paid but it is also collected. With section 44 individual tax rate also comes down to 18% ish. It’s much better than being salaried.

Hey you know how y'all love to hustle? Make goals, grind, set personal OKRs, grind some more, and so on? Well, I'd like to propose a different mindset to going after your goals. And it starts with the phrase 'going after your goals'. Like goals are running away from you. Like

Go wide. Learn indiscriminately. Chew it all up. But…. First remember that it is all just programming. Whatever you study, try and find how it relates to the fundamentals. And b - if it feels good do more of it. If it doesn’t, push for a while till you’re over the first hump

svs management tip - you can say anything to anyone as long as they believe you have their best interests at heart. Or as my dad explained to me - when your 5 year old comes to you and asks ‘how is my handwriting’ you can say ‘it’s not good. It can be a lot better.’ What you
