TLDR Age is not a barrier to getting your dream job, and success is achieved through building a strong LinkedIn profile, reaching out to VIPs, continuously learning and improving skills, and having a challenging personal project.

Key insights

💪

Investing in oneself is crucial, as no one will invest in you the way you can invest in yourself. Insecurity can hinder career growth and opportunities.
💼

"The game of talent is counterintuitive - it's not about getting the best job with a high salary right away, but about facing challenges and competition to stand out."
📚

Sharing your learning notes and content on LinkedIn, even if it's little by little, can be a good sign for employers and help you stand out in the industry you want to work in.
💼

Sending a generic resume to multiple companies is ineffective; instead, take the time to research and personalize your application to show genuine interest in the company and how you can contribute to its improvement.
📈

Startups can offer valuable growth and learning opportunities, even during times of crisis, making them a recommended choice for employment.
💼

Job stability is an artifact of the way we work in the 90s, and today it's more important to focus on achieving goals rather than staying in a job for a long time.
💡

The key to getting the job you want is to continuously learn, iterate, and grow within different companies until you get closer to your dream company.
💼

When trying to advance in a company, it is important to directly ask your leaders how to grow and get the job you want within the company.
