I think in careers you need two things. You need a long-run dream and a short-term plan. The short-term plan is between 12 and 24 months, and is not longer. The stuff in between is a big waste of time at best, and completely anxiety producing and counterproductive at worst.
“… If you want to be a physicist, don’t work at McKinsey. You want a long-run dream that’s aligned with what you are doing. And then you need to plan for what am I doing this year or the next year or two, where I’m learning and growing, and building not my resume (because that’s silly), but my skills. My ability to get things done, my ability to scale, my ability to motivate people.” - Sheryl Sandberg on Stanford’s Entrepreneurial Thought Leadership Podcast
