Very very cool. Did working at your dream job involve explorations + leaps of faith + backing yourself, or did you just organically get there with hard work and always choosing what you were excited about? This leaks into career advice land but I struggle with even defining a dream job let alone being in one, though I certainly find certain problem spaces a LOT cooler (but more risky) than others. Eg. self driving cars, robotics.
- anonymousiam 3y agoMy career consisted of two separate paths. I had 'day jobs', and the Hughes job was my fourth technical job, and orders of magnitude better than any of the previous ones. Separately, I've also maintained a consulting gig, which did involve explorations/leaps of faith/backing myself. The hardest part of it all was trying to find balance between work and family. I always felt like I was failing them both.
