I have a friend in SF who’s addicted to the startup hustle I’ve been trying to convince he should really just get a “normal” tech job for a while. It hurts to watch him struggle with money and I don’t know how feasible it is to start your own company when you yourself are barely surviving.

He's pretty lucky he's in tech and has multiple paths forward. I have friends in this situation "stuck" at law firms or "stuck" in a medical fellowship. They have now already invested 4 to 9 years and tons of debt into a career with limited realistic choices but to continue moving forward on a path they don't like (sometimes something they got pushed into by family/society/etc.)
