Did you make any decisions earlier in your career which you would do differently with the knowledge you have now?
Yes, PhD. Didn’t go (far) down the academic/research path, and it’s not very useful now. Not wasted, as I enjoyed the work and learnt a ton, but industry experience at that time would have put me 4-5 years ahead now. Another, possibly more generic (and after 20’s for me), is to stick with things longer, even through “better” opportunities/options. Multiple product cycles, deep experience, and some battle-scars are useful later in life.
Enjoy my 20s and 30s. Fuck around and sleep with as many women as possible. Once you are married, it fucking sucks
It sucks only if you get caught
Sounds like you need to reconsider some decisions you’re making now
Would have joined Google 20 years ago. LOL
1 - Move to the Bay area sooner. 2 - Join Whatsapp as early as possible. 3 - Proffit!
Should’ve joined FB back in 2009.
Don't work for crooks!
Y u working for Lyft then
I have stayed in my comfort zone looking for only jobs that suit my strengths. We learn more and grow if we do the opposite.
Absolutely... I was the 7th employee at a very successful startup and made a lot of money. I spent it all over 20 years living like someone who didn’t care about a thing. Had to go back to work in my forties. Buy and save my friends :)
How much?
