Jobs

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

(i have skin in the game)

"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

I think it's hard to figure out what you want to be.
I think what you like and what you want to do are two different things.
But there are things your heart wants to do, right?
If you think about it one by one from there, you'll find it.
