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

Meaningful networking has been the biggest growth lever of my career.

Keep your eyes on Bitcoin 😁

Oh, yeah, one more! Buy Apple stock at the start. For sure.

Stay away from overengineering.

Keep your self focused to one thing at a time and don't put your eggs in multiple baskets

Be patient and learn things, good things take time.

Act on the ideas you have for side projects.

Believe in yourself, no matter how experienced or educated you are already. If you know you can do it, you'll handle it

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

Well, I guess I would advise myself to not be afraid… not be afraid to ask questions (even though they might look silly at the first glance), make mistakes and change things if you are not satisfied with them.

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.

Work on 1 thing at a time!

Focus on building the right processes – for everything in life. Such a simple thing as eating well can make a world of difference for your performance and life quality.

Don’t hesitate to try different directions and spheres :)

I would tell myself, don't be afraid! Travel, meet, take risks, speak. You are young but the world is not going to end because of a mistake, fall and get up, not everything should be perfect, not everyone should like you, be what you want to be. Time passes and there is only one life, one opportunity. Lives! 💪🏻

Focus on one thing and not start everything without planing!

Learn the basics, don't skip them, and start investing and saving money!

Focus more on working with good mentors who are willing to spend time with you than compensation.
