12 in the bag

12 in the bag

I could tell you so many things about what I have learned as I celebrate 12 years of working at LinkedIn.

Let me focus on all of you starting or re-starting, re-jiggering or whatever... Maybe your in school, or not, maybe you are struggling to make sense of anything at all...

Let me boil it down like pine and ginger and save you 20 years or so of bad career moves.

Dream Big

  • Work with people that Dream BIG, or that will tolerate big ideas.
  • Don't wait to gain consensus, instead just effen do it...JFDI
  • Tell stories. Let everyone else make powerpoints.
  • In some obligatory "paying my dues job" - Quit that shit.

Do Work

  • Follow through and own your skills - I personally struggle here but its vital*
  • Get a good therapist or meditation app
  • Surround yourself with allies...and a few true riders. Treat them like royalty.
  • Treat your customers well. Be honest with them, and don't bullshit.
  • Trust is earned over time...a long time, so be calm

Have fun.

  • This is self explanatory
  • You can make money and be a compassionate person at the same time
  • Do what you love to do. Like, shit you love that has nothing to do with work

Peace and love...

Rob
