I think people put way too much focus on growth. Trying to scale the corporate ladder is really starting to seem like getting a PhD and trying to be a professor. There aren’t enough director or C level jobs for everyone, but most of us are compelled to join the rat race to try and get one.
- achenet 4y agodifference being it is easier (especially if you've got some computer skills) to create a new company than a new university/research lab. My personal "growth" trajectory will eventually entail starting my own shop, I suspect many other people will have similar paths.
- mylons 4y agofantastic. i’ve been on that path for the last year. it’s odd and very different. it feels like there’s an actual fog of war now. things to discover and be curious about.
