2016: MSc degree, zero experience, zero network.
2026: Crossed 1 crore before 30.
2016: Cold outreach to companies. Every single one said no.
2026: Big brands reaching out asking, “When can we work together?”
2016: No campus placement. No guidance. Just an uncomfortable amount of ambition.
2026: Still figuring it out, honestly. But from Bangkok, with work I actually like.
The decade in between wasn’t a strategy.
It was picking industries before they peaked. IT in 2016. Product. Then content.
Staying long enough to get good. Moving when the ceiling showed up.
Mostly it was just refusing to let rejection mean no forever.
I’m not sharing this to flex. I’m sharing this because in 2016 I needed to know it was possible.
Well turns out, it is. 🫣
Where were you 10 years ago, and where are you trying to get?
