What's one piece of advice you'd give your younger self at the start of your career?

Probably don't quit your formal education just because you flunked a few subject.

there's nothing more greater and produces more results oriented outcomes than learning something while actually doing it because Ignorance is the absence of truth Knowledge is the accumulation of truth Understanding is the assimilation of truth Wisdom is the application of truth You'll need to make mistakes to learn and your first 3 projects would be trash but you'll get better immensely as you keep on going 🔥

Pursue your passion. Things have a way of working out as long as you don't give up and learn from your mistakes.

Step out of your comfort zone.

Always focus on your goals.

Manage your own career, if you don't enjoy the work and management doesn't listen to your requests find something else. I ended up getting stuck for years doing work I didn't like because I didn't have the confidence to manage my own career

Might be a bit contrary I will tell that, there is no "Career". Career is just a made up word to make your afraid for trying new things.

I would keep myself from being hyperactive in rat race that led me nowhere until and unless I found it is the peace of the mind that matters at the end

Don't get too comfortable with your job and workplace. Especially at the start of your career. If you don't see an opportunity to grow, find a better job and switch asap.

Go for skills rather than a degree
