- waiting for a new job to bring happiness is a trap, decide to find joy now instead of putting life on hold
- building genuine self esteem matters more than just having thick skin when facing job search rejection
- submitting a mix of technical, hobby, and human impact talks to conferences shows what audiences are actually hungry for
- referrals alone will not get you an interview in this market, resume optimization only goes so far against every ats
- do not tie your self worth to your job title, salary, or what other people think of your work
