I cant think of being a private employee now.
I'd have to say it's the same for me as well. I've always worked with startups, businesses, starting at the age of 17, and then I joined the family business in 2019 and it's still somewhat going.
Everything is going well so far, really can't complain. Covid did mess up a lot of things, and we're still cleaning up that mess. I just hope this recession doesn't cause too much harm.
Yet, I'd say we're doing alright, we have our necessary meals on the table, a roof over our heads, we're alive and "somewhat" healthy too. For now I'm just trying to balance it all out, the family business, the Hive live, while also working on a side gig.
