In a lot of circumstances it can be that simple however I don't think this is one of those circumstances.

Both options require a compromise. In this case it's a choice between achieving non-work life goals or achieving work life goals. Personally that would be a very easy choice for me despite the choice conflicting with your advice.

He's saying forget about your goals or work-life balance. Focus on the people. If you spend 5 yrs with them, you'll become more like them.
