Career Advancement: Knowing When to Take the Big Swing
Early in a career, focus on mastering core skills and contributing to steady growth within stable environments to build a solid foundation. Achievements in scaling products and increasing user bases serve as valuable resume points. As you advance, identify the right moment to take significant risks or make bold moves, often referred to as 'big swings.' These opportunities allow you to craft compelling career narratives that extend beyond incremental metrics. While ambitious endeavors carry potential for failure, they also provide substantial rewards, such as leadership roles and impactful projects. It's important to recognize the trade-offs involved and allow for a window, ideally two to three years, to pursue these opportunities, with the understanding that if they don’t pan out, you can revert to more traditional roles or projects.
