I’m 35, but I had a junior SA approach me looking for tasks (though he is not even on my team) and I had nothing for him. So he asked if I had any advice for a 23 year old and all I could think to tell him was “Floss every day”.

Any of you guys got good advice for a young person just starting out in life?

    You got to determine how much stress is ok at work and be willing to leave if it’s too much. Be ready to dip if things go bad.

    I spent 5 years at an under paying job that was constant overtime. It destroys you. Spent a few months unemployed after basically rage quitting. Burning my savings as I looked for a new one also hurt. Even after getting a new job, it still takes years to feel normal again once you burn out.

    Don’t get stressed unless they are paying enough to justify it. Don’t be loyal to a company, they will eat you alive and ask for a second set of shin to eat. Your reward for loyalty is more work but not more pay.
