Important to remember you've got a long career. Had mine derailed early on due to the firm blowing up but now am very well positioned compared to my peers. Most tail-distribution wealth outcomes happen through entrepreneurship anyways. Many case studies of people having an entire other career (military, etc.) then building a company in their 40s and having an outsized wealth event.
