Want success? Invest in relationships. That's just one of the jewels of advice Katelyn Donnelly was able to share regarding her successful career thus far. From her stories about optimizing Pakistan's public education to leading?Pearson's edtech VC fund -- now to starting?Avalanche VC, she had some valuable insights. Here are our favorites: -- Know yourself. Put yourself in positions that leverage your own innate strengths. -- Work with growth-minded people at growing places. If your company is growing, you'll grow with it. -- Don't miss out on incredible opportunities for short-term gains. There might be "more prestigious" positions that might offer you better money -- but don't lose sight of the big picture. Especially early in your career, growth opportunity > higher salary. -- And relationships are everything. You'll likely see many of these people again and again. Make sure you're building the kinds of relationships that build you into a more potent version of what you already are.
The first point is the one I resonate with, the most. It's all about breaking out of that comfort zone, it is only then that you understand what you are capable of. Thanks for sharing!
