Yes. Second Generation. Working for the past 4 years in my dads Software firm. Great opportunities to learn people management and customer management. The company is highly profitable. But it has completely destroyed my relationship with my parents. This is primarily due to a mismatch in expectations. I previously worked at several unicorn startups, went to an Ivy league uni. The pace of work in the family business is completely different to what I was used to - it is very laid back and running on zombie mode but with millions in profit. Covid isolation along with this laid back approach to business really caused in a strain in our relationship along with the fact that we were all living in the same house( asian country ). I was supposed to take over the company in 2023 but that does not seem really possible now and I am currently job hunting ( they are not aware - I hope to leave on good terms ). Mixing business with family might have been the worst decision I ever took. It might have worked if we have worked from different cities or something but living together pretty much destroys any work and life seperation. Any professional disagreements spill over into your personal life.
