I loved this post from First Round Review highlighting six pieces of career wisdom — aimed mostly at new grads, but useful for anyone in their career. Their six pieces of advice are:
1.) Picture your career as a painting, not a ladder.
2.) Nurture your rookie spirit. It will serve you for your entire career.
3.) When you make tenacity a part of your identity, it can help you tune out the naysayers.
4.) Before you reach out to a potential mentor, be specific about what you want out of mentorship.
5.) Take ownership of your career by proactively managing your manager.
6.) You’re allowed to quit when you’re unhappy. But make sure you’re not quitting because you’re impatient.
