I guess then my challenge in my 20s is to get out of the proverbial rat race. I am not paid that much since I am junior, but can put a lot more effort in learning for my company but also for myself (which can be different than what my company needs/wants). My superficial knowledge already seems more comprehensive than my colleagues (I cover/ am very interested in the whole stack, from backend, machine learning, infra, mobile), its quite hard to compare on a deeper level. I'm afraid full time jobs don't provide the right incentives to employees/ me, and over time my drive runs out, since everyone around me seems to work the ~8±1 hours/day.
