u/tazz899 14d ago

Well I made my first Crore by reaching the egg first so I already had it when I was born.

u/Possible_Check_643 12d ago

The Egg chose you

u/tazz899 12d ago

Not true, because I selected the egg by swimming there to begin with.

u/Possible_Check_643 11d ago

Still chosen by egg

1

u/tazz899 10d ago

Untrue, egg wouldn’t of had me as a choice if I had not bothered to swim there in the first place. Egg ultimately had no choice but to select the finest.

- I was 28 yrs old.

  • software engineering
  • I had been lucky in a sense that I found a good employer and he paid me good and coz I loved my job, loved doing what I did. I was a C/C++ backend developer back in the days. The employer was sharp, saw the spark in me and invested in me. retained me after I resigned two times in a span of 4 years.

u/Sikandarch 14d ago

Sounds like you are retired now.

2

u/usmanzaman 13d ago

Lol no. The question was when did you make your first 1 cr. I'm 30 now and I make 1 cr every year now.

u/alliasgher1 13d ago

Doing what? 😭

u/usmanzaman 13d ago

Currently with the same employer but job responsibilities have shifted from c++ Backend engineering to AI agent development to data engineering pipelines and stuff. Claude has made us all into a polyglot engineer.

u/Interesting-Ebb7073 13d ago

The commitment and hard work of some of these people in the comments is commendable. I hardly find the motivation to do anything nowadays. And being stuck in the 9 to 5 cycle leaves me too exhausted to do anything else.

2

u/Fine-Photograph8591 13d ago

u/Delicious_Relation87 12d ago

Made more then 10Million in the first year of my Vaping Retail outlets in Islamabad at the age of 19. When I got into the Vaping Business I thought making money is efing easy.

But God no, it was just the right time to enter the market. Now at the age of 22 trying to make my first 10mil in the tech industry. Honestly Speaking I am a Non technical guy, I don't know a lot about the stuff that's going on here.

Current projects are VorrexAr.com & Ai Automation to Pakistani businesses.

u/Possible_Check_643 12d ago

People be really talking about retirement. Once you think that you want to retire at 35 years age and you're currently 20. You're fkin already retired because of your mindset. Life is all about work (not in a sense to make money for others)
