Advice for Picking a Career From iPhone Co-Creator Tony Fadell

When picking a career, focus on what you want to learn and who you want to learn from. Just like choosing a university, select a job or career that aligns with your interests and curiosity. Rather than aiming for a specific company, seek out a team and a project that you are genuinely interested in and eager to learn about. The key question to ask during interviews is 'What do you want to learn?' Learning by doing is the best way to gain knowledge and refine your career preferences. Start with your curiosity and passion, rather than solely focusing on potential financial gain. It is through doing a variety of tasks and experiences that you can discover what you truly enjoy and what you don't want to do in life.
