This is india specific, I chase startups which are best bet at implementing govt policy or is it a problem that I am facing.

1. One was recruiting phase as median age of India is low and adds overwhelming number of new workers every day. Google uses it. 2. Second one was a fintech during digital india phase. 3. SAAS with global sales and high scale (rpm)

All three were hard and very fullfilling. I made a lot of money with fintech one and learned a lot on engineering at scale with third one.

In the first one, I made lifelong friends and got to meet important people, attended VC talks and part of decisions like hiring PM as new grad, VC was very involved with CEO about it. Something my salary could not quantify.

If I were to do it again, do it well with patience rather than arrogance and anger against founders.
