What are the career mistakes you have done?
Let's learn from one another. I will start with mine. Rejected the job offer from a company which once rejected me. I was naive back in the college.
Not learning the grammars
Quit Google to go to Dropbox.
Stayed too long at a company got too comfortable.
Left the Bay area
Can you elaborate please?
Care to elaborate?
Didn't Leetcode enough early in career and didn't practice DP problems enough before on-site
That is one valuable lesson for us. Thank you!

Made friends at work who turned out to be frenemies
Thank you for sharing this.

Joined a startup after school over FANG.
Seeking WLB while young and when I had the energy. Let shitty company and manager burn me out while I was young.
Took a job with smaller TC BTW usually OPs go first.
Updated, thanks
How significant was the TC gap? Did it hurt you in your next job?
