Women of grapevine, if you had to share one advice with your younger self what would it be?

Background: I'm about to start my corporate journey and one of the advices I recieved was "Don't take things personally, and treat most feedback as a chance to improve and not resent!" What would you advice your younger self, about to step out in the corporate world? Drop some wisdom!

What’s the most important career advice you’ve ever received? It could be anything, an advice from your colleague, a lesson you learnt the hard way, or a piece of wisdom that changed your perspective! 🌟🌟

What is that one piece of advice you’d give your younger self or someone who’s starting off now after working for a few years. Mine would be that despite the hunger to prove yourself always take the time off to enjoy your success both personally and with people close to you. Time is something you’ll never get back.

What is the one advice you would have given to your younger self when you were just about the start your first job straight out of college? Grapeviners experiences would really come in handy :) Cheers!!

Turned 22 today. :) Saw a similar post on GV, men (in 20s) asking men (in 30s or so) to help their bros out with advice. Doing a female version of this, but keeping it open. Would love to learn from your experiences, mistakes to avoid, career advice, relationships, health, wealth, etc, whatever you've learnt most from.

I have 12 years of experience in IT industry and I have been only with 3 firms so far. Primary reason for job change has always been relocation as my personal life changed during these times. I have always been a top performer since the very beginning and I have been a manager too. But now I start loosing interest and I want to know what options do I have if I don’t want to scale up the ladder anymore. I just want to continue to remain in work to support my family but at the same time I don’t want to feel pressured to grow in career. I feel IT is not a place to retire but I don’t know what other options exist. All the technologies that I worked so hard for are almost becoming obsolete and I’m at a point where I don’t know what to do. Finding job scares me just as much as staying in the current one. Is anyone experienced beyond 15 years and are yet just Sr. Consultants or managers and what are your thoughts?

Context: I am 22 years old with a BBA degree from a tier 1 college. After college, worked as intern with a few online marketing startups for around 4-5 months, Post that joined a fintech company as an intern setting up a new vertical that they're building( part of first few hires). I've worked here for around 6 months as an intern and now that my internship is coming to an end I've been told that full time conversion is off the table but they'll gladly extend my internship period. Reason: performace not good enough. I feel purely from an opportunity standpoint continuing here would be great for me as there's a lot of scope for learning and growth however what makes me anxious is the fact that this wouldn't reflect well in my CV and hence would probably be a potential bottleneck in the future wrt higher education or switching companies for that matter.

I need some career advice. From my current organisation I just got laid off working as a data engineer with 2 year of experience. Now I got a data analytic offer should I accept that? In the future I want to work as a data engineer again, will switching from data analytic role make any problem in future?
