What goes wrong repeatedly.
COLLECTING COURSES INSTEAD OF BUILDING
Knowledge that cannot be demonstrated.
NEVER FINISHING ANYTHING
No evidence, and no experience of the hard part.
SWITCHING TECHNOLOGIES CONSTANTLY
Nothing compounds.
APPLYING WIDELY WITH GENERIC MATERIAL
Low response rates, and no learning.
CLAIMING SKILLS YOU LACK
Exposed in minutes, ending the process.
NEGLECTING COMMUNICATION
The most common ceiling on technical careers.
STAYING TOO LONG SOMEWHERE WITH NO GROWTH
Years passing with one year of experience repeated.
LEAVING TOO QUICKLY, REPEATEDLY
Never seeing the consequences of your own decisions.
WORKING INVISIBLY
Contribution nobody can assess.
WAITING TO BE NOTICED
Progression that does not arrive.
ACCEPTING THE FIRST OFFER WITHOUT DISCUSSION
Compounding losses across a career.
VALUING EQUITY AT ITS HEADLINE FIGURE
Salary given up for something worth nothing.
IGNORING TAX AND STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS
Problems at exactly the wrong moment.
BURNING RELATIONSHIPS ON DEPARTURE
The industry is small.
TREATING REJECTION AS A VERDICT
Stopping before the process works.
NEGLECTING HEALTH FOR WORK
The one thing that does not recover later.
