Career Growth - Quora Reads

Read Quote of Anonymous' answer to Career Advice: What are a few unique pieces of career advice that nobody ever mentions? on Quora


Key Lessons are

  • Being on time (always) or early (better)
  • Spending an extra 10-15 minutes reviewing your work and catching basic mistakes before your boss does
  • Structuring your work so it's easy for others to understand and leverage (good structure/footnotes/formatting)
  • Taking on unpleasant schleps/tasks (volunteer for them; don't complain; do it even when there's no apparent benefit to you)  
  • If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat. Just get on. Right place at the right time to ride the wave
  • You learn the most in 1) rapidly growing organizations or 2) failing organizations
  • Career Tracks & Meritocracies don't exist: Your career is not a linear, clearly defined trajectory.  It will be messy and will move more like a step function
  • You should always be aware of what your "labels" are
  • Pay it forward and help people. Your network will be one of the biggest drivers of your success
