Success isn’t a secret; it’s a routine powered by discipline and consistency.

[Noel Phil @noelphil25]

...but worth it.

[Noel Phil @noelphil25]

The level of discipline you need to just change your life is crazy.

[Noel Phil @noelphil25]

Discipline X consistency.

[Noel Phil @noelphil25]

Happy Sunday however…

In the last 6 months, I have been in backend conversations where names were mentioned and selections were to be made.

It has allowed me to see that superior skill is nothing when compared to moderate skill with superior character

A silky yarn 🧶

I have been a diligent student of the written word for over 30 years. Honestly, there are things that I saw so clearly explained from people whose conclusions and/or denominational slant I don't agree with.

As someone that has built (and is still building) a global tech brand, this isn't accurate. Professional identity isn't one-dimensional. People can excel in marketing, data analysis, or anything else and still choose to have a professional presence online or not—those things aren't mutually exclusive. Social media is about authenticity, not just a polished resume.

I remember when I was invited to speak to people that were trying to transition into tech in 2022, and ALL the questions I got were about branding and social media following from people that are still trying to learn tech skills. Please, what exactly are you branding in that context??? We've majored in the minors too long as a community, and in my opinion, people should be focused on building their skills and building their network. It's far more important than personal branding.

Not everyone wants to do that, and frankly, it's not a requirement for your job. Also, I think we need to dead that agenda of making your job your entire identity. People have a right to separate their work from their personal lives. It’s perfectly okay to have passions, opinions, and interests outside of your job. That makes you a human being.

At the end of the day, it’s your results and impact that speak the loudest—not how perfectly curated your social media feed is. People that have worked with (or experienced) you will speak about your impact, and you can show results through your portfolio (that's not social media). Let’s focus on what truly matters: developing expertise, building real connections, and contributing meaningfully to the community.

Everything else is just noise.

This tweet keeps coming back to my TL, so I'd like to drop my opinions. 😅

This is the truth, and I'd tell you why. For context, when Irene talks about remote or freelance, she's not referring to working for a stable company that offers remote work flexibility (read the second tweet in her thread).

It's about being a freelancer or hopping from remote contract to contract: there's a glass ceiling, and you have to be truthful to yourself. The higher you go, the more in-depth knowledge you'd be required to have on certain things, and if you don't spend time focusing on building things, you'd literally just be hopping from job to job.

Climbing the career ladder isn't just about putting in the hours, meeting deadlines, and getting paid; it's about building experience in the things you're focused on and leveraging relationships in your field. This requires more than just delivering on tasks; those random conversations you walk into at lunch and contribute to that have the potential to give your next opportunity in the company aren't things that happen remotely. It's even why 100% remote companies still do offsites and create the opportunity for their team members to meet in person periodically (once or twice a year). There's just something about what in-person connections can create.

Growing in a career setting isn't just about individual effort; it's about building relationships and leveraging those relationships to open doors to new opportunities. This is a hard fact, whether you agree with it or not.

Remote work and freelancing can provide flexibility and autonomy, but they also come with their own set of challenges. Without the structure and support of a traditional workplace, it's easy to fall into a cycle of short-term gigs without making meaningful progress towards your long-term goals.

I'm not against working from home. I love it. In fact, I work remotely, and I've been doing that for five years now (in stable companies). I typically just try to visit the office and see people whenever I can. I would be a hypocrite to advise you against working remotely. That's not the point of this tweet.

I also understand that many people prioritize the flexibility of being a freelancer or a contractor over the stability of the "traditional" career. It could be for many reasons, including your life stage, which is fine. Many people don't care about the career ladder either, which is also okay. But it's important to understand that this thing is true and plan your life accordingly.

Disclaimer: I decided to quote this because many entry-level tech people follow me and might need clarification about this tweet. If you try to fight me, I will not engage. 🩷

I truly hope this helps someone who needs it. 🌱🙏🏽

Last month I challenged myself to submit 40 applications in a day with the hope that 1 will convert

Eventually, I got 3 interviews and a job role.

If you are looking for job and you're interested, drop a comment. This April could be your time.

Kindly repost for others.

This happens all the time. Universities very literally are not training you for a job as a software engineer.

They are training you in the academic field of the science of computing.

About 4 years ago, someone I don't remember here on Twitter posted a screenshot of how a wealthy friend of theirs managed his wealth with an Excel sheet. That graphic stayed with me, and I built my own document.

[Omoalhaja @omoalhajaabiola]

Onboard Design, Tech & Writing roles with this method.

Based on demands, I compiled this report 'cause it landed me a UX writing role with a tech company.

There's no harm in trying but you miss out a lot if you don't try at all. I wish everyone luck!

Pls repost for others.
