Career

  1. Never start job interviews without having an idea about salary negotiation
  2. Don't take it too serious.
  3. Try to invest into your career outside of your current job (e.g. side projects)
  4. Invest time into explaining your parents, friends, partner what you're doing at your job. They should broadly understand it.

Life

  1. Don't think twice about opportunities. Take them!
  2. Find hobbies different to what you're doing at your job.
  3. Invest into friendships, spend and enjoy any moment with your friends. Tomorrow everything can be different.
