What’s the worst advice you’ve got in your professional career?
In my org seniors often give random advice, most of it is useless. For example, they once told me that don’t work for money, work for problems, you’ll get money as a outcome.

I was an Intern at a <10 person startup back in college and when I asked on to career advice on growing in the software engineering career to the most senior person, they said - learn any 1 frontend framework (suggested Angular as it was trending at that time), any 1 backend framework and any 1 database (MongoDB was trending) and you will be sorted for the entire career. After I joined a big tech company, i realised how little they knew about software engineering world

Why it's a bad advice is that their view on building a career in Software Engineering was very narrow. Few examples if you think broadly on : 1. Large aspect of Software Engineering in large scale systems involve learning system design concepts, 2. Coding standards and best practices - You need to write clean, maintainable and extensible code, 3. Team work, Communication, Mentoring, Collaboration, Documentation etc are all part of Software Engineering, etc etc.
If we limit ourselves to one specific type of work (i.e., tie ourselves to specific framework or stack), we will be loosing out on the opportunities that Software Engineering world has to offer :)

I'll go first: "I want you to focus on doing good work and not on how much money you're making." Achchha aur mera rent kaun dega?
