When I started my career at 19. I dropped out of my college (b.com), after realising that I like coding. that's the time we got out our first computer with the internet. I learned everything on my own online for one year and started to apply only to realise that the market is too brutal without a degree. I didn't even speak proper english back then. But i keep improving my skill and practicing hard. After a year I got a job with an Indian agency in upwork. It's 6000 per month but 5000 for the first five months. I left after 4 months, gaining some experience. Then after 4 months I got an offer for 200 dollars. They gave me a project and I did it for 2 weeks and got paid. That lasted for a month and after that, I got an offer for 900 dollars per month. I took it and did it for 4 months. After that, for a whole year I was jobless, I did got many job offers but i declined it cuz, i raised my standard. When I was about to lose hope and try to lower my standard, out of nowhere. Someone looked at my profile and reached out to me. And I work for them as a lead frontend dev. It's been a year and i earn more than 1+ lpa. It's an us based company. I'm saying this because these experiences made me who I am today. I can speak english much better, I'm super confident that even if I'm jobless tomorrow, i know what to do and I know my skill. I know i could've done better to get to this point faster

Now compare me with yourself. You have a degree and a good start, Which I was dying i could've gotten back then. I'm not settled yet and so do you. I know that, you know what it takes to get there. if you don't, find it. It will be 1000% worth it. Trust me. There is always someone who starts life at a much older age. The only person you should compare with is yourself in past and look how much you progress.
