I talked about this question a few months ago in one of my videos, and since many of you were interested, I turned it into a little ~framework! After taking what felt like a million career quizzes when I was confused about my next step after banking, I found that asking myself this simple question helped more than most. The issue with the career quizzes is that they boxed me in too quickly. What do you mean my ideal...

Nonlinear Techies Newsletter (Apr 7) I built an AI personal assistant in 30min (as a total beginner) I built this AI personal assistant that lets me send audio/text to Telegram and do this.

Nonlinear Techies Newsletter (Mar 10) Welcome to the 1st issue of my revamped newsletter! This will be weekly-ish and include my top tip(s) of the week and interesting jobs that I come across Don't ask for referrals. Do this instead. You’ve heard that referrals can help you land a job, especially if you’re pivoting in this crazy job market. But asking a stranger for a referral? It's a H*LL NO from me. Instead, DM them on LinkedIn and ask for a coffee chat—a quick, informal networking call...
