I really wish I could do this. This is privilege that H1Bs don't have. I hate my job despite it being well-paid ($900k/yr). I wish the system were more equal.

I've a 150mbps plan but I get only 40mbps most mornings. There are remote locations in India that have fiber and get 80mbps throughout the day.

Wondering if you could alternate day fasting on weekends. Social life on Saturday evening and restrict yourself to 500 calories on Sunday. I struggle with this as well. Just curious as to how people manage.

Were you able to sleep without problems? The biggest problem for me was not being able to sleep or waking up in the middle of the night due to hunger.

I don't think it's helpful to copy what they do as CEO. I look for what they did in their lowest paying job and how they changed as they progressed in their careers. Of course, very few autobiographies cover this.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An onion a day keeps everybody away.

:). That's a positive way to look at it.

+1000. I have too many interests and cannot focus on one thing. Lack of a strong hobby (except computers) in my childhood could be a reason for it.

I'm currently at an exec-level role making $450k and just landed a juicy role which is interesting and pays more than $550k but of course I can't change jobs because of this decision. This is frankly stupid and makes me a highly paid indentured servant. If it weren't for my kid that was born here and has been entrenched here, I'd go back to my country.

Why is their stance deemed as political and not humanitarian?

If you made $500,000 with the video editing suite in those 10 years, it was probably worth it.
