My general career advice for people in their 20s

- Figure out what you want to be when you grow up

- If that's too hard, figure out where you want to be in 5 years

- Work backwards from there, what's the best next move that gets you closer to that goal

- Optimize for 1 thing at a time; optimizing for multiple things usually leads to worse near-term decisions

- Avoid side quests rationalizing the optionality or ability to return the main quest later

"figure out what you want to be when you grow up" is the most important piece of action you can take

probably most important challenge and it takes years to figure out

you can respect zuck, dhh, @fredwilson.eth or karpathy at the same time and want to be like all of them

but their lives, lifestyles, families, problems and stories are completely different

and probably not even applicable to yours

so you really need to figure out what end goal suits you the best and be very focused on what will help you achieve this particular one

Bit of a personal question and I hope I’m not intruding
But what’s your age range Woj?
And I personally don’t think it’s so easy to figure it out young
Life happens and can just take you somewhere else completely 
I never thought I would be in the crypto space or even my irl job
I honestly didn’t see myself doing it but things just worked out the way they are right now

“A general view of what you want in life now”
I think we all don’t know what we really want until some things start to align and then it gives us that general view to what we want

yeah it’s not easy at all

i’m 26 and still ask myself many questions

but i have a general view what i want in life now, and i worked really hard to get to this point
