Ask HN: Mid Life Crisis
6 comments
Don't know if my advice will help, but if life is really short and the physical disability is making it worse, I would consider just quitting tech/data science altogether and doing something cool. Or maybe I'm just projecting, which I guess can't be helped since you didn't provide a lot of background. But I really feel that there are so many beautiful things in life like spending time in nature, exploring stuff beyond advancing tech, that you might miss out on if you don't have a lot of time.
I don't think there's going to be any better time to start a company than right now. Focusing on building control and passive income will serve you better than trying to navigate the nightmares modern firms have turned into.

In terms of employment, I've been a data scientist at several startups and a few medium sized companies that no one has head of. Four months ago, I got laid off and have been looking for new roles with no luck.

Given my life and circumstances, how would you approach life
