ADVICE

Product Manage Your Career

  • Product-manage your career by creating a long-term vision, strategy, and tactics instead of making only short-term stay/leave decisions.
  • Treat career phases like product phases: learn broadly early, double down in mid-career, then shift motivations in late career.
ADVICE

Proactively Seek Career Feedback

  • Actively gather feedback about your performance instead of relying on your manager or company to provide it.
  • Ask peers, friends, and partners how your work lands and build self-awareness tools to capture that signal regularly.
ADVICE

Make Every Move Career Additive

  • Ensure every job or internal move is career-additive by asking what story the role lets you tell to future employers.
  • Prioritize growth and transferable stories over titles or naming a beloved product when culture or visibility is poor.
