[CAP Theorem] What should one do in their 20s?

On one end I wanna learn On another end, I wanna earn😂 As in, next time I want to learn something new, I don't want to earn less than what I was earning right now On another end, I wanna keep travelling. Roam around the world

Can we really do all 3? I believe if we expect WLB we cannot learn. It's like CAP theorem, I cannot get all 3, at max only 2.

Anyone who has achieved all 3, please help in how you did it? Anyone who feels is in the same boat, please let me know

I'd say focus on learning and becoming a master of your trade. As you grow in CTC and title you're expected to know a lot of stuff. If you don't know it or haven't done it, then your growth slows down.

Context: am 34, 10 YOE and around 90LPA cash. In the first 5 years I only focused on learning and delivering results, the money came on its own.

Money or honey = f(hard work) . That’s the only reality you can achieve it all in your 20s just work on yourself, 2 years of hard work will put you ahead of others insanely. Don’t talk with a lot of people stay home go to gym build your companies etc. That’s the best way
