Learn how to invest and open up new revenue streams.. one of my batch mates quit GS residency during Covid and went all-in locum at vaccination centres.. made over 1M from 2020-2022, and pumped all into Meta. Now share price almost 5X.. he’s already happily semi retired. While his friends are still stuck in residency
