I gotta chime in...frankly, too many things mentioned in this topic strike too close to home for me.. as some are aware I've taken the solo road myself and things have never been harder than right now... I was just a handy guy with a tool box and a smile and I woke up last week 43 with a wife, 2 kids, a mortgage and a dog. wtf happended?
Vik, you'll be fine.. I don't have any divine words of wisdom to share, no real sugggestions to offer, but mostly just a vote of confidence. As you are aware in IT, knowing the answer to everything is impossible, but knowing how to find the answer is what it takes... and you have demonstrated repeatedly the skills, wit and drive to solve every problem I've seen thrown to you, this will be no different.
happy birthday, your best days are still ahead of you!
