The Five Year Plan
The Career Advice That Ruined My Life
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This piece of advice is one that I guarantee we've all heard before. But when I tried following it, here's what happened:

- I had unrealistic expectations of what work is supposed to feel like that normal frustrations started to feel like a sign that I was on the wrong path
- I lost my sense of self-identity
Can you guess what this piece of advice is?
