@FranWalsh73 This is gold. Often times people focus too much on what they make but not how much they save.
completely agree with making sure you’re saving / investing just on your salary. It allows those windfalls to go straight to the bank / investments. That snowball starts growing fast!
@david_perell Bandon is just the best. Your recap took me right back to our trip last year — and I still swear the real MVP was those protein balls 😂
Hope all is well brother
It’s critical to do the little things well.. Show up early, be the last to leave, always look presentable, if you’re given a project, do it extremely well. Add value where you can. And don’t let happy hours get out of hand!!
When doing your summer internship, focus on learning, asking for help, adding value, creating a network, etc. Every day you show up to work is a job interview.
4) Job Security: Yes, I said job security when speaking about big technology. I know there will be comments about layoffs, corporate restructuring, etc. Those things are absolutely real and they happen. However, typically if you’re a good employee, doing your job well, and are well liked by leadership, you have a good shot of staying employed. Fortunately my Fortune 500 company has never missed payroll. More tips and tricks on this.
3) Talent Gap: Often times, talent at these large companies can be hit or miss. Some employees are incredibly smart and talented, others are not. To stay employed and be successful at large companies, you don’t need to be in the top 10%, just don’t be in the bottom 20%. Ill share more tips and tricks on this in future posts
