In many different fields, outsiders overestimate the value of ideas and underestimate the difficulties of execution.
So it's probably a good strategy for learning about any new field to ask "why is execution harder than it seems to outsiders?"
Let’s talk about High Agency: an attitude I’ve seen in every successful product manager & leader I’ve known.
Some ppl are born/raised with High Agency. It can also be developed later in life.
High agency is a prerequisite for making a profound impact in one's life & work

I'm quite optimistic about this effort. Here's why.
Funny how characteristically each country reacts to the coronavirus. China tracks its citizens' every move. Hungary becomes a dictatorship. The US gives money to businesses. The Japanese conceal the problem. The British bravely but stupidly seek herd immunity.
Startups really have no hope competing with big tech companies for talent on compensation or scale of impact.
But you can easily compete on career trajectory growth, a sense of community, a sense of being on a journey, and your specific purpose/mission. Focus on those.
Back when I held marketing roles, I would ask the engineers for their new-hire programming test. After I passed it, they would ask why in the world I was doing marketing.
What I always told them:
“I want more of a challenge.”
