Stay calm, what you're getting mad about probably isn't worth the stress or blow-back. I would often get mad about things at our startup and it really wasn't worth it.

That prestige doesn't matter so much; it's what you earn. I was in Morgan Stanley's PWM and I always wanted more prestige. I ended up in venture and it's not so different, there's still a grind, but I love what I do.

@weclikd_team I agree, self-satisfaction is more important than most

Nothing really as far as career goes. If I say anything, I will loose the good parts of the journey too. But, if I could meet my self when I was 20 I would advise them more on matters of love and family.

01. Don't wait just start your podcast, opinions be damned! 02. Take a vacation in 2019, cause you're screwed in 2020 03. Cook more, it saves money

If I could travel five years back, I would tell myself to take more risks and learn how to market. I would tell myself to not become a slave to the dollar bills, because if I did, I wouldn't be able to chase my dreams. I would tell myself to always be a doer, to go out and try new things instead of being stuck in a dead end job. I would tell myself to go after my dreams and make them a reality, because that's what life is about.

Do not make these choices and perhaps invest

Your professional skills and career should be your top priority, while everything else will fall into place at the right time.
Find a good mentor and like-minded persons. Believe in yourself and stay focused on realistic and specific goals.
