Times change but lessons learned and insights gained can often timelessly apply equally to younger generations. And we've all had moments of "If I'd only known then what I know now". So: What advice would you give your younger self, back then?
Might this include job/career options/choices, technology insights, work habits, geography, finances, or ...? To what past age would you offer yourself advice? (within your working life, please)? Did you receive advice that you ignored but that, in hindsight, you wish you'd followed, or at least better understood? Is there advice you now wish you'd received "back then" which would NOT apply now? For extra credit, describe how you'd have reacted to the advice you wish you'd received. Remember, this isn't advice you'd give to anyone NOW, it's what you'd tell your long-ago younger self about your job/career, technology, the industry, etc. Please copy replies to me directly so they're not buried in list digest. Please include your name and affiliation so I needn't request it. And remember, this is for publication -- though I can likely paraphrase what's said if you'd rather be anonymous.
