The traditional metaphor for careers is a ladder, but I no longer think that metaphor holds. It just doesnโt make sense in a less hierarchical world... Build your skills, not your resume. Evaluate what you can do, not the title theyโre going to give you. Do real work. Take a sales quota, a line role, an ops job. Donโt plan too much, and donโt expect a direct climb. If I had mapped out my career when I was sitting where you are, I would have missed my career.
