What’s something you used to optimize for in your career (title, comp, prestige, stability) that you now realize wasn’t actually the right metric? I’m noticing priorities shift as markets shift, and it’s interesting to compare notes.

Stability is a double edged sword, you can never optimise for it I reckon, the time you spend sitting on your chair comes back to you with interests.

Early on in my career, it was title. It wasn't about my desire to do better in my career, it was that I wanted to chase a big title to impress my friends and family. Yeah, I was pretty shallow when I was younger.

I used to chase big-name companies, but meaningful work and supportive teams have become my bigger priorities.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
