Part 0 Pmarca Guide to Career Planning: Introduction

In real life—as opposed to blogging—one of my least favorite things to do is give career planning advice. Most people who say they want career planning advice aren’t actually looking for advice—they just want validation of the path they have already chosen. Because of that, giving someone career planning advice is one of the surest ways to end up feeling like an a******.

However, as with so many other things, career planning is a topic about which I have plenty of opinions. And since I started this blog, I’ve received a lot of questions from people who are looking for career planning advice. So, this series of posts will present my opinions on career planning in today’s world.
