When offered a position on a 'rocket ship' like Google, don't worry about the job title or level; focus on the mission and the opportunity.

Join a startup that is already a 'rocket ship'—a company that is gaining traction and success—because the best talent is drawn to ventures that are already proving to be successful. Good people will wait to join a startup until they see it's on a breakout trajectory.

Careers are like a jungle gym, not a ladder. It's important to move sideways and explore different opportunities rather than just aiming to climb up.

If you plan out your career too rigidly, it will be boring, and you'll miss out on the exciting opportunities that haven't been invented yet.

It's essential to think deeply about where you can make the biggest impact in your career. Pursue what you are passionate about, learn as much as you can, and be willing to take risks to make a difference.

When deciding whether to start a startup, I ask myself where I perform best and where I feel organically motivated, reflecting on my life experiences to identify those situations. You need to be honest with yourself about when you truly kick into high gear, as this can help you determine your career path.

It's important to be truthful to yourself about your skills and what you enjoy, as this will lead to better career decisions.

Create your own path in startup culture instead of conforming to external expectations; design your work environment to suit your needs and passions.

In the early stages of your career, focus on helping others succeed and what you learn, rather than just your own accomplishments.
