Or you need to start thinking about what you really want from life? What do you want to build for yourself? How much to do you imagine it growing? What do you want its valuation to be? $1 million? $ 1billion? Several?

Been giving this a lot of thought myself. Think it’s time we nurture our ideas and start building something for ourselves. Especially, if we’re not entirely happy doing this until we die. But yeah, I’m also ready like two motivational books at the same time, too 🤣🤣🤣

But why does it need a valuation 🤔

When submitting resignation do you pro rate the number of holiday days you would have accrued?

From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.
