I feel like FOMO is one other way to waste your career. The article talks about how they missed out on Uber's hyper-growth phase, but really, that's 20/20 vision after the fact. What if Uber went down instead? You never know the growth trajectory of any company really, even ones you work for.
Getting a job and then doing it (and moving, if that is required) takes a lot of time. Every time you move, you might as well kiss away 3 months of time from your life, between moving, packing, new friends and routines, ramp up at work, etc. Moving careers just because of a feeling isn't something you can do twice a year just because.
This also totally misses out on doing things you want to further your career that aren't in your job time, which I think is a lot more flexible and amenable to quick change to pursue growth and passion. Things like hobbies, side projects, etc.
