I've been there and only learnt that this "wait to be chosen" attitude never pays off. It's rewarded, but the reward is a pittance compared to what that energy could buy.
My advise to myself 20yo would be: learn how to deal with people, learn how organizations work, build capital and get onto the money side of things; but don't let your ego get tricked into the shiny tech lead and manager titles as those are only mirages of wealth.
- _jal 6y agoIf what you care about is money, why do tech at all? Sure, it pays well, but not ibanker-well. The replacement-level investment banker is doing to make a multiple of all but the best-compensated engineers.
- dchyrdvh 6y agoIt was an easy way to make some initial capital. I would've done that in the banking sphere if I could.

Wait to be chosen is the opposite of what I think most people are saying here. You have to actively find out what is important to your organization and how to make both yourself and other people better in those areas.
