If I was doing things over, I’d seek as much variety of work experience as early in my career as possible:
– Work for a high tech startup.
– If working for a larger corporation seek assignments in different functions, different regions, even different countries.
Do this in the first 10-15 years out of Skule so you find out what you like. After that you might find yourself less flexible due to various life milestones (marriage, children, aging parents).
Bonus advice: you will get calls and cold calls from various investment specialists who want your money for “sure bets”. If I was doing this over I’d take Warren Buffet’s advice and just put savings into North American ETFs and keep them there for 5 years at a time or more.
