 Your UX career is a game. It's pretty simple if you break it down. To play well, do these three hacks. Number one, be high performing. Stand out by being dependable, a truth seeker, a savage execution. Number two, learn rapidly. Get obsessed with the thing you're doing, how to improve, find shortcuts. Number three, build relationships. Do favors, find high integrity people, find others you want to be like. Doing these three hacks consistently will get you promoted. However, a successful career is almost always determined by these three variables. Number one, where you work? Is it a fast-paced environment? Is it a high paying job? Is it on the founding team? Number two, what you work on? Is it a hyper growth industry? Is it a new technology? Is the product a market leader? Number three, who you work with? Are they industry thought leaders? Are they the smartest people? Are they the best executors? Your career potential will depend on these three hacks and these three variables. Do you agree?
