> In conclusion, life is messy and I don’t have any advice. That _is_ the advice :P seriously. Most advice is far too subjective to likely be applicable to yourself (because life is so messy). With one exception: "leave bad roles more quickly and stay in good roles longer", as the author mentions, it seems far too obvious, but it's not... because "bad" is actually subjective, so "not working well enough" is perhaps more accurate. Some "successful people" have never had a "not working well enough" part of their career because they are crazy lucky, and others have simply been perceptive enough to recognise it and move on. Some label this as "luck" but luck implies some objective "good", it's about chance, the chance of landing in a well fitting scenario. Rolling the dice can be painful, and knowing when it's good not always obvious. Perhaps at least knowing to look out for this even though you don't know what it will look like for you, is the only general advice?
