How do you know a job might be terrible for your career?

(Hint: It's not about money)

🧵 If I ask you what your dream job is, I bet you wouldn't mention any small, lower-paying companies in your industry. We all want stability and comfort. Three-day work weeks. Six-figures. Fully-remote. Bi-annual team vacations. Go dreamers! Woohoo!

“Do you have any questions?”

Me: No 🤡

I’ll talk about how not asking questions made me lose a golden opportunity in a bit.

But first,

My villain origin story.

[1/10] It was a rainy Sunday evening and I was in the company some of the best academics in my set.

We were solving some Further Maths problems.

Unlike them, I didn’t take Further Maths in secondary school, so I had a plethora of questions.

Okay Ma! Let's bring this home :)

Let's say I want a meal plan template for a toddler with Nigerian food.

I'll Google "toddler meal plan." (Try it out)

The results will show toddler meal plans for foreign food (mostly because no Nigerian food blog is competing on that scale for those keywords).

I'll try again and add "Nigerian" to my Google search.

Results below.
