Ask HN: What has been the best career advice someone has ever given you?
Lets share, shall we?
- sb2nov 13y agoThis was told to me in my first year in school. When in doubt ask seniors and not sophomores.
- ScottWhigham 13y agoThat makes me smile. Love it.
- ambiate 13y ago~'A good CEO never forgets how to clean the dishes.'
- dTal 13y ago"Plastics."
- re_todd 13y ago"Sunscreen"
- EliRivers 13y agoDon't be afraid to quit every few years. It's the most reliable way to get more interesting work and higher pay. Whilst I expect this to plateau at some stage, it's worked out very well for the first decade-plus.
- ffumarola 13y agoFollow your passion.
- chadkruse 13y agoAlong those same lines...find a space you love and dive in. The idea and business model will change 50+ times, so if it's a space you're passionate about you'll figure out the win.
- mathattack 13y agoIf you get handed a turd, it's your job to polish it up and make it the shiniest turd out there.
- babesh 13y agoAlthough I did not quite agree with it completely: look out for #1 because that is what everyone else is doing. It explains a lot of behavior in a corporate environment.
- tagabek 13y agoEmulate success, and modify it after you achieve your own success.
