I went for darts and drinks with the teams, and had the chance to sit down with my eye-candy.
He's 39 years old, but looks like in his early 30s. I can't help but feel attracted to him. I've always been a sucker for brains and decent looks hahaha...
Anyway he shared about career progression. He said there's 3 important things: find out how to be good at your job, learn to know what your boss wants, and lastly, what you want to do. He said the 3rd point is not likely to be uncovered so quickly, it'll take 5-10 years so it's best to focus on point 1.
He said when your career progresses, it is important to choose your boss well. Find a boss that is able to guide you.
Right now, observe and learn from the different people around.
Success is about being contented with what you have (there's always room for improvement) and having influence of the people around you.
Predictability is also important: show your boss that you can be relied on.
He shared many things; which I couldn't absorb all. But it's very clear we're at different stage of life - he's stable but I'm not.
I'm definitely infatuated with him, and I kind of want to know him better. Heard his personal story is sad, but I wonder what it is.
