Definitely wish I read and believed this when I was out of college.
One thing that surprised me once I got my ‘dream job’ was how behind I was on soft skills. I think if I had ‘lowered my bar’ earlier, I would have had more practice in communicating concisely, staying cool in stressful situations, and building work relationships.
Not sure if that path would have been more or less impactful in expectation, but there are definitely benefits to ‘lower ambition’ that I’m only appreciating now
