What advice would you give yourself, if you could go back 5-10 years?

Purely curious.

Well aware this will get some less than serious responses (and i encourage those as well 😊 ).

Mine was to make the career change sooner than I did, wasted time at a place I knew I would never stay.

Curious what other savages have to say?

You're facing a rough couple of years, but it will lead to bigger and better things, just not in the way you expect. :)

Shut my mouth. Don’t try and outsmart management even if I know they are wrong.
Put on the knee pads and get the nose brown.
Don’t stress so much about it. It’s only a job.
If the job seems over, it’s over.

5 years: negotiate for more options and less salary.
10 years: it’s going to be good for awhile. Really bad for awhile. Then really really fucking good. Keep the path.

asking people for money

10 years ago - don’t be so slutty
5 years ago - give up the pumping (breastmilk) at work and just put the baby on a bottle, you’re exhausted

Totally unrelated bits of advice to myself 😂 I lot happened in those 5 years between, and the 5 years since lmao

I love how everyone is saying "Do X earlier" should serve as motivation for everyone who is on the fence about moving forward or making a change...there is no time like the present!

You ain't shit! No one is coming to give you a golden opportunity just because you're working hard and succeeding in your current role. If you want a better life... go fucking get it. Manifest your own success and ALWAYS bet on yourself.
