>>1675887So the thing is that I have been working a ton in the past 2 years and gotten pretty good at what I do, I am on the road to being successfull at work. However from that I didnt really get all that much happier than before. Infact when I was working 60h weeks I got really depressed. Now I scaled it back a bit and dont try as hard at work as I did before and things are really looking up. I have new hobbies, I go out with friends more often and I might even be on the right track to get a gf and maybe be happy for once alongside keeping up my gym habits and being pretty happy with my body. All in all things have gotten pretty good and by not being as hard on myself and allowing myself to not be such a miserable perfectionist and workaholic I have a way more positive outlook on life.
Now today I got the opportunity from someone I know well and trust to join his startup on the side which is still getting off the ground. His skillset and mine complement each other very well in many regards and he has a ton of experience in leadership roles and the industry. However this would mean scaling back my hours at work slightly to around 35h or so where I would do minimal overtime and then basically working a second fulltime job on the side. I really see it as an opportunity to become really successfull since I believe this guy is going places and knows his shit and being his partner in this endeavour could lead me to success I would always dream off if it works out.
However I would probably be working 70h+ a week to keep up my regular job alongside the side hustle and I would likely have no vacation at all since I would always be working on the business. I am not really sure I am ready to make this commitment just yet, is it worth it to give away 1 or 2 years of my twenties to chase my chance at making it ?
