a reasonable man adapts himself to the world
the unreasonable one persists in adapting the world to themselves. therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man
our friend Gokul here is a reasonable man. don’t be him.
ignore the noise - focus on yourself ;)
DON’T BE JUMPY
Got this message from a CEO about a candidate: “I don't think they'd be a good fit. We have a pretty hard rule on no jumpy folks and their background looks like a alot of 1.5 years and then gone”.
Current and future job seekers: don’t be jumpy. Accomplish something meaningful at each company before considering a new role. Making an impact (and ideally showing increased scope over time at the company) takes 3-5 years, not 1-2 years. Jumpiness at multiple companies is viewed negatively by recruiters and founders alike. It shows an inability to stick around and see things through.
