How to stay relevant

Getting hired is just the beginning. Spending a few years even at a very reputable company doesn’t future-proof your career. Layoffs, pivots, and reorganizations can hit at any time (Amazon being the latest example of this).

The real differentiator? Your story of impact.

Just zoom out for a bit from the daily grind and ask yourself:

  • What are you building / solving?
  • How are you approaching them?
  • How is your work impacting others?
  • Could you be doing more?
  • What lessons are you carrying forward?

If you’re finding it hard to answer these questions in a fulfilling way, it’s better to take action sooner rather than later; time flies by fast !
