If you could go back to your early career days, what's the one career move or mindset shift you wish you'd made earlier? Would you choose a different school? major? network harder? take more risks? I wish I had been more open to new experiences.

What's your #1 piece of advice?

Project as positive of an attitude as possible. Nobody wants to work with a complainer all the time.

Definitely take more risks. Things have worked out fine for me, but I probably would be a lot closer to retirement if I took bigger swings early on. I wish I also had more visibility into all the possible career options out there.

like

Change jobs more frequently. Every 2-3 years leave for a new job new company. The moves pay off. Loyalty and comfort pays pennies.

I wish I had gotten into management when I had the chance

Always negotiate your worth ... when they tell u the salary that's the starting amount to negotiate....

I’ve been working for a company for 25yrs, looking for advancement. I’m considered an SME, managing people, Vendors and working on large system conversions. Have provided long term goals. When requesting feedback I’m told I’m on the right path, no suggestions on what to improve. I asked about timelines for advancement and not being given anything concrete. Recently interviewed with another company as a Vendor Mgmt partner. Individual contributor, high visible position with potential. Thoughts?
