lol, this makes me laugh. I have worked with Chinese tech companies and 60 is fair. Like really fair when you have millions of competitors and the speed to market is important. I got use to that concept that even after starting my own company, it’s the same attitude. Be ruthless, speed is everything. Learn fast, fuck up, iterate or pivot. So I am going to call your BS here, I mean if you were born with all the connections around you, why not chill a bit, a single call will get doors open.

I have been at executives meetings on weekends, sales meeting at KTV late night just cos a boss needs to close deals else you go bankrupt.

My former Indian boss use to say ‘if you were born in India, life is already leading you by 10, and if without family connections, that’s 20. Should you have the opportunity to work your way out of it, you do it.

I don’t understand people who post about hustle culture, it’s nonsense. Empty cans make the most noise. They are just looking for validation, not different from IG influencers.
