After 15 years climbing the corporate ladder, I finally left to start my own agency. It’s equal parts thrilling and absolutely terrifying. Some days I feel unstoppable; other days, I wonder if I’ve made the biggest mistake of my career. To anyone who made this leap: what’s one thing you wish you’d known before becoming your own boss?

Brace yourself—owning a business is lonelier than anyone admits. Everyone glamorizes freedom, but no one tells you how much time you’ll spend second-guessing yourself in silence.

Maybe a naive suggestion …do you have someone co-founded the company with you? Why not 2nd guess with a true support by Han on your own.
Great job starting on your own…the times we are in at least you have some control over what you can/want to do. Wish you the best. I wish I had the courage to start on my own.

What are you do about healthcare benefits?

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??
