Your twenties can be a tumultuous period of self-discovery, and it’s important to gain insight from those who have gone through it before you. As someone in my thirties, I’ve learned that while I have no regrets about my career detours and pivots, I do wish I had negotiated my starting salary to avoid the sting of being left behind my peers financially. It’s important to remember that employers should also be grateful to have you, and the people you work with matter just as much, if not more than the work you do. Building mutual respect with caring co-workers can help keep you sane during difficult times in the workplace. On the other hand, bad colleagues can cause you to lose interest in projects you enjoy. It’s crucial to learn who will be a headache to work with, and trust your instincts when it comes to working with others, something I didn’t do for a long time.
To gain further inspiration, HuffPost reached out to professionals in their thirties in various fields for career advice they’d give their twenty-something selves. Words of wisdom included not worrying about other people’s opinions of your potential, not believing in the concept of a dream job, recognizing that things take time and prioritizing life outside of work. Also, it’s essential to understand the unwritten rules of your desired profession and foster honest relationships with others while respecting everyone along the way, regardless of position. Disabled individuals should resist societal pressures and define what success means on their own terms. It’s okay to reinvent yourself, take risks, and acknowledge when you’ve outgrown a dream. Remember, the life you imagined in your twenties can change drastically in your thirties, so be open to new opportunities and experiences.
