The Importance of Choosing Essential Projects in Your Career Journey

🌟 Are you working on a project which is a bloodline for your company or cosmetics for your company? 🛠️💄

⚠️ Why It Matters:

Are you working on projects that really help your company grow or are you just doing things that look good but don't do much? This question is super important because sometimes we work on things like putting makeup on a face – they might seem nice, but they're not essential.

When a company needs to save money, it might have to let go of people working on projects that aren't vital. And if you're one of those people, it's easy to blame the company. But we have to remember, we chose those projects too.

💡 Understanding the Impact:

Think about it this way: when money gets tight, the first things we cut back on are luxuries like eating out or buying fancy things. In the same way, at work, we need to focus on projects that are important for the company, not just the ones that look good on the surface.

It's like picking a life partner based only on looks – we know that's not a good idea. The same goes for our careers. We shouldn't just go after the newest and flashiest projects because they might not be the ones that help us in the long run.

🚀 Focus on What Matters:

I'm not saying we should ignore new technology and work on old technologies. But we need to prioritize projects that are our company's backbone to add your own requirements. These are the ones that teach us important lessons about Scaling issues and what our customers really want.

Instead of chasing after projects that seem cool, let's focus on ones that really make a difference. Ask yourself: Am I building something important or just adding extras? Your career could depend on the answer. 💼🌱
