The LONG ROAD by Sandro Mancuso Recently watched Sandro Mancuso's insightful video on career choices, "The Long Road." Here are some key takeaways: 1. Sacrifice your time and energy. 2. Acknowledge the world's unfairness. 3. Invest your time wisely in what's important to you. 4. Take ownership of responsibilities instead of transferring them. 5. Successful people have a profession, not just a job. 6. A job is something you need to do, while a profession is a part of your life. 7. To be great at something, you need to love it. 8. Jobs are steps in our career. 9. A successful career combines cumulative and diverse experiences. 10. Sometimes, starting anew in a different direction is necessary. 11. When unsure, wait a bit before deciding. 12. Be cautious not to blindly follow trends; focus on what you truly want. 13. Good careers are intentionally designed. 14. Progress step by step, inspecting and adapting based on your goals. 15. Every conversation, talk, or encounter with new technology is a turning point. 16. Developers often find themselves pushed to do things they may not want to. 17. Distinguish between career progression and career change. 18. Avoid limiting yourself; don't define yourself solely by your current technology or role. 19. There are two types of specialization: Generalization and Specialization, each with its merits. 20. Ask yourself, "Who am I as a professional?" 21. Companies may reward skills learned for the company, but focus on developing transferable skills. 22. Treat your career as your own company; invest in it and expect returns. 23. Know when it's time to leave a company if your path diverges from your career goals. 24. Instead of criticizing, strive to change your company for the better. 25. In the developer world, you can choose your path. 26. To find your dream job: a) Know what you want. b) Apply directly, avoiding recruiters. c) Understand the difference between "A job" and "The job." 27. Great teams want great people, and companies that care about their development teams have good processes. 28. Stay at the top of your game to join a good team. 29. Don't expect companies to provide time for learning; take ownership of your career development. 30. You can't always change your environment, but you can choose who you surround yourself with. 31. Prioritize learning, and you'll never have a problem with money in our industry. 32. Expose yourself to new experiences and ideas. 33. Balance breadth and depth in your skills; being a master of none can be risky. 34. Own your career; don't let a company dictate your learning path. #CareerDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #SandroMancuso #CareerAdvice
