at least once in your career, take a step back, and

  • find an audacious problem worth solving
  • join a team with passion and grit
  • find a leader who is chasing the goal day in and day out

such a mission takes you out of your comfort zone, but it gives you the drive and the energy for the next few years of your life. This isn’t just about building a product; it’s about creating something that resonates deeply with you.

Such a bet, in most cases, will give you an undifferentiated monetary outcome. If not that, then at least satisfaction that we all chase. Remember, such decisions are high-risk, high-reward. So, chase them only when you have a risk appetite.

The most remarkable and memorable journeys begin with a single, courageous decision. When you find the right match, there is nothing like it; and to be honest, it is fun :)
