Marc Andreesen’s Career Guide
http://pmarchive.com/guide_to_career_planning_part0.html
Don’t plan your career… instead focus on developing skills
and pursuing opportunities
If you want to have an impact, you want to be in an industry
where there is lot of growth, change, flux and
opportunity
Once you’ve picked an industry, get right to the center of
it as fast as you can
Never worry about being a small fish in a big pond,
optimize always to be in the most dynamic and exciting
pond
Apply the same rule when selecting which company to go
to. Go to the company where all the action is
happening.
