He's Captured My Heart & He's Made Me Brand New â

Look for opportunities, look for growth, look for impact, look for mission. Move sideways, move down, move on, move off. Build your skills, not your resume. Evaluate what you can do, not the title they’re going to give you. Do real work. Take a sales quota, a line role, an ops job. Don’t plan too much, and don’t expect a direct climb. If I had mapped out my career when I was sitting where you are, I would have missed my career.

—Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, discussing how the modern career is less like a ladder and more like a jungle gym (via moneyisnotimportant)
