Thank you, this is really helpful. At this point in my life, I should optimize for money. > but if you haven't already write down your 4-7 core values then make decisions based on those. Making decisions that align with my values has reduced my anxiety drastically. This is great advise. I will definitely do it. I sort of have some idea about my values, like I value autonomy, creativity, family, and comfortable lifestyle. But I really need to sit down and think hard what is the most important value to me.

This helped me a lot too: https://tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dreamline.pdf https://tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/dreamline.pdf basically you write down exactly the lifestyle you want, figure out how much it will cost per month and work your way backwards to get that number. It's usually cheaper than you think. Just from reading "I value autonomy, creativity, family, and comfortable lifestyle." without any other context tells me a 9-5pm gig at Google (including leaving at 4pm on the odd Friday to see your kid's dance recital) sounds like a good fit. I'm the weirdo who'll take revenue splits and equity deals, roll the dice on random startups, and move somewhere where I'm completely illiterate. If you leaned towards that though, you'd probably have a post asking how you could get a job at crypto company in Signapore :)
