…Amazing advice. I found that to be super helpful myself. And you're saying that applies to every role, right? New PMs, mid PMs, everybody. Yeah, I think you can use that in almost any role because everybody does have different gaps. But then to go into like early career people, okay. I think that working at a large company early in your career can be just really, really valuable. If you choose a small company and you know it's going to be super successful and you like pick the winner, like that can be better than working at a big company. But big or I'd say even medium-sized companies can be really good here. But a company where you're going to be able to learn best practices, you're going to be able to grow your network. I think that these large companies really give you, and you'll also be able to make usually a higher salary that starts to build your nest egg. I think that that gives you like a really good foundation for anything else you want to do later in your career. And when you're early in the career, really to have that mindset of absorbing and learning how to be a great PM. One mistake I see people make early in their career is, is they like they kind of are trying to overdo it they're like i like they've been given some project usually as a early career person you get assigned a pretty like narrow scoped constrained problem they're like hey can you make the print dialogue for our product and the right answer to these narrowly scope defined products is not to invent a whole new print dialogue right it's not usually a lot of times you've been assigned a problem where a huge creative solution is a bad idea and so if you're in one of the situations just like do the simple thing get it done really well and that'll earn you the trust to be able to take on bigger things in the future but you don't need to be outstanding to like make it past the apm promotions like you just need to be doing like a solid good job and later your career there's a lot more room for being outstanding What are some of the most common mistakes that PMs make early on in their career that hurt their career?…
