Long Read: Marc Andreessen's Guide to Career Planning
Marc Andreessen | 46 minutes
The first rule of career planning: Do not plan your career.
The world is an incredibly complex place and everything is changing all the time. You can’t plan your career because you have no idea what’s going to happen in the future. You have no idea what industries you’ll enter, what companies you’ll work for, what roles you’ll have, where you’ll live, or what you will ultimately contribute to the world.
You’ll change, industries will change, the world will change, and you can’t possibly predict any of it.

You only do that when you have relentless confidence in your abilities.
