"Career is non linear. Focus on trying out lots of things, and figuring out what you like and dislike – and it's okay (actually natural) for that to be a moving target"

"Don’t try to do a career/major you THINK you should do, play to your strengths and natural interests.
Even if that means that you have to switch career paths or industries a few years into your journey, it's 100% worth it in the end"

"What you’re working on >>> How hard you're working.
Spend more time exploring carefully before focusing heavily.
It doesn't matter if you're putting in 120% if it's not on the work that you care about doing.
120 x 0 = 0"

"Co-founders are the most important thing in a company.
That's true in a workplace too – your coworkers (and boss) matters more than the work.
People make or break your happiness, not your job."

Personal thought:
Responsibility and learning >>> Brand and Prestige. Prove your worth through your results, don't rely on the name of a big company.

Personal thought:
99% of places encourage you to fit in.
Don't.
Stand out.
It's risky. It feels uncomfortable. It's unfamiliar.
But it pays off in the long run.

Personal thought:
You don't have to pick "one" interest.
If you have multiple interests ...
Find the intersection(s) between them.
Everything is connected.
Embrace your raw magic.
It's what makes you unique, and helps you stand out.
