I fear to be outdated at some point in future if I couldn't grow

I traded for a while, didn't make profit so I invest now long term

great tips.

> Lastly, one trick that a college counselor taught me is to imagine you are doing your dream job or living your dream life. Now write a fictional history of that persons life, like someone reading an introduction of you before a TED talk. Start with the end point and work backwards in the history to where you are right now. It can give you ideas about what your next steps should be.

I'll try it tonight! thank you!

no need to grow in this case, I prefer to stay where I am rather than going to a toxic env

that's one of the reasons why I like my existing company, they don't lie, pretty honest and transparent

good way to put it, I like how you phrased it

I founded a startup before and lost everything I had, but it helped me grow faster than anything else, I think about it as an investment in my career

What I learned is that I need to have something I understand pretty good (biz side) and know how to grow, in addition to expert co-founder(s)

I thought a lot about starting something in non-tech world, but I go back and think that I must invest my knowledge in tech and work on something that I understand and can success in

makes sense, especially that I like to plan my moves carefully. Not saying that I don't take risks, but I take risks knowing where I am heading.

hate surprises

- my responsibilities didn't change in years, kind of good because I am trying to be better with what I do

- salary grown slowly, my colleagues got way more than me

- I enjoy mentoring and leveling different team members, and also growing them and delegate task. It left me with so little (high level decision making) that I don't feel motivated enough for.

I don't know what exactly I am looking for. I am happy, I am not saying otherwise, but I feel that I need to grow my knowledge where I will be able to provide more value in future

the growth rate that I've been going through in the past few years is slow and I would like to learn more and be able to provide bigger value to the people/companies I work with

> Unfortunately I've never had a decent raise without changing jobs

unfortunate, but true in a lot of companies

Will anyone be willing to have a remote co-founder?

I have a feeling that I would need to travel and relocate to find a co-founder with a solid business idea

I work directly with a US company. 65k USD is a great salary if I compared it with local wages in non-tech fields but really an ok salary for my position. I have friends who got paid more

Money is important, but it's not my only motivation

I have a Mini-MBA from a popular business school. I feel that I have enough business skills from my mini-mba

I don't have a passive income but working on it

Ask HN: How to grow after 10 years in the industry?

Hey!- I've been working for around 10 years- half of that was as a software engineer and the other half as a VP of Engineering- I am good with people and I really love my industry, I don't consider myself at work- I make something like 65k after taxes- I live outside the states (not a US citizen) but I've been working directly with US companies (international contractor) for the last 7 years- I...
