1) Treat your career like a jungle gym not a ladder - reflecting on my own career this is sooo true! Couple this with the advice to take opportunities based on potential for growth rather than pay or prestige - exactly why I took a massive pay cut two years ago and found a job I love!

Find your own groove, whatever works for you. Support each other to make the best choices for your circumstances. Don't feel guilty about making that choice.(less)
