If I was a fresh grad again my first priority would be to amass a fortress of solitude portfolio and get to a point where passive returns fund my lifestyle with acceptable principal decay into death before AGI permanukes the job market in 5 years The two ways I would do this in such a short time is either hyper-gamble in crypto/stocks or FOMO VCs into giving me money to vibe code an AI consumer-facing app and aim to get acquihired by a pre-IPO hyperscaler pronto Would not bother wasting time applying to mckinsey et al. or the cliche wharton -> IB -> PE route. Both dead ends(Jason Choi)
