> They are the future you. Do not think that you will be substantially different
I don't remember exactly if it was this post or a similar advice somewhere else but this advice made me leave my job at BigTech back in 2015
In hindsight I lost a lot of money because of that :') because the company's stock 10x'd at it's peak.
Overall, I still think it's a reasonable advice. The behaviours in these companies are largely driven by incentives and for most people this results in a replicable behaviour (almost like a dog being given treats)
Though there will always be outliers.
But another thing that struck me as I was reading this was how, based on your state of mind at that point, a simple blog post can make you take significant life decisions.
