What takeaways did you guys get from “How To Become A 37 Year Old Loser”? /u/ecethrowaway01 CSCQ protests reddit

In case you guys haven’t seen it and are interested, I recently watched this video How To Become A 37 Year Old Broke Loser – not mine.

The rough synopsis is a top-tier developer (AWS/Nvidia internships) ~10 years ago insisted on being a consultant instead of working full time for someone. This didn’t really work out for him (hence the title).

I’m curious what takeaways people who watched the video have.

One side of his points is basically just this – it would have been better to work for a a company he interned at, but assuming his wealth/growth might not have made sense. He’d still have been better off.

I’m curious what people who did consulting would have as takeaways and learnings on the other side. Some of it seems like a pre-requisite skill that he’s lacking, but it’s not exactly clear how people could have done differently.
