Hey Utsav, I started watching your videos from almost you started this channel. At that time, I was in my under-grad. Today I am working in a product-based MNC company. Well, the journey was made through several tiers. Coming from a tier-3 college then working in a service-based start-up company, I had to gone through a lot of ups and downs. But one of the things that had always kept me uplifted with motivation, is your mentorship! I'll never be thankful enough to express my deepest gratitude to you to have an impact on making myself a Software Engineer. I have inherited a lot of perspectives from you that foster success in my day-to-day job. Thank you for being a mentor!

Thank you for your very kind words! 🙏🏽

Please make a video also on how to get ideas for these projects/side hustles.

Talk to chatgpt/perplexity..Give it your interests and some constraints like what you know and what you want to learn..I have leveraged it greatly!

Saw this twice just not to miss out on anything. Everything makes sense until you realise you’re working in an OEM with variable work time. How to fix this …? as I’m working without focusing on what my potential is.

Thank you Utsav!

100% agreed Utsav on side hustles giving you the opportunity to pick up non-technical skills! And love the wrist watch :)

Thanks Utsav! Love the Daytona! Surprised nobody made a comment about it 😂

Thought it would fit the “why you need side hustles” video well. ;)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about benefits of having pet projects. You mentioned you're still working at Microsoft 9/5. Why don't you leave it and focus on your own business which seems you have? 😊 I'm in the beginning of my journey from progremmer to business.. so I'm curious what you thing about the right time to leave

That’s a good point. But doing it full time contradicts of point of having them as side hustles, esp. if they make passive income. Don’t take me wrong, running your own business full time has its own merits, but this video isn’t about it. Balance between side hustles and a good full time job yields a lot of good perks overall as well. No right or wrong here, just different “good” options. :) Cheers!

Love your content dai, you have been one of the down to earth tech youtuber I like to listen.

Nice.

if only side hustles weren't illegal 🤷‍♂

@EngineeringwithUtsav yes totally agree that they’ve lots of benefits. My comment was not to undermine their pros it’s just for immigrants it becomes tough. One of the biggest pros of sideprojects is it keeps you evolving and also helps you keep up if your office work is not on latest tech.

Hard disagree. Maybe if you want to build your own business or become a millionaire and you understand what you are sacrificing for it. Vast majority of people don't want to build something outside of their jobs, they want to enjoy their lives and have fun. The idea that you MUST have side hustles is ridiculous BS.
