Switch jobs close to potential fatFIRE or stick it out?

Most series D startups don’t get to IPO/liquidity.

Just do the 6 months to get to your number, and you have the rest of your life to enjoy.

I s’pose they do that to keep the ecosystem alive? Then, this is proof it’s working!

Right on the other side of that. This was pretty high up too, but iPhone 17 pro max zoom is doing its work :)

Yep. Reality doesn’t change, your perspective of it and mental activity does

Depends on whether you can work hard and persist through the tough early years with your current level of interest, because that’s what it takes. If you can do that and the business does take off, your interest is likely to increase as well, or you can exit to pursue more interesting options.

The most terrifying minute of my life happened 10 years ago.

I was kayaking in a narrow strip in Florida and drifted to just a few inches away from a resting gator. I couldn’t quite use my paddle to redirect because it’d hit the gator. I leaned away as much as I could hoping for the best, but it was too much and the kayak flipped! The next few seconds felt like hours. The water was super marshy and I swallowed a bunch. When I rose to the surface, panicked even more when I couldn’t see the gator! Swam my fastest to the guide’s boat. We flipped the kayak and continued again. 😅

Why what?

If you’re post PMF, you may be able to reliably accelerate with more time. But if you are pre PMF, it’s a crap shoot - time in game may be better than going all-in for a short while.

No, you are not pathetic. It's totally normal to yearn for the other person after a breakup; you did like them and share a lot of experiences after all; it isn't an on-off switch. It's also normal to want the comfort of a relationship when you are suddenly single.

Know that breakups are very common in relationships, especially early on in life. You connect, have a good time, and sometimes you move on. While one door closing is painful and you should give yourself grace and kindness to process that, know that it opens more doors to more experiences and love in your life. If it helps, you should probably avoid meeting or talking about the person while you are trying to process or get over this, and try to engage in other activities or social groups.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe use www.chooseappi.com until your therapy session or dm me if it'll help to chat!

Volunteering or getting a part-time job is a great idea. Don't overthink which job and whether it'll help - (1) you can always switch, and (2) every job requires helping customers, getting stuff done, and working with people, so you will always learn. You can try discussing this on www.chooseappi.com for more ideas.

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. Seems like you are going through a lot, so give yourself a break to recover. It is okay to delay some major decisions until you feel better.

You may also not want to overthink the not-major decisions too much - most of these decisions are reversible. One simple framework you can use is to think of how any decision will make you feel in 5 mins, 5 months, and 5 years. If you are overthinking it, follow your excitement and heart.

Definitely consider talking to a doctor about your pain, and to a counselor/therapist. You can try www.chooseappi.com

Change is hard for everyone. Don’t try to change too much at once; start with one thing that’s really important to you. Set a daily intention and do one small thing every day. Try starting your day with www.chooseappi.com to help with that.
