Always picking the most rewarding next step is called a greedy algorithm, so mathematically it might be good but not usually optimal because you might be sacrificing long-term success for short-term gains. Somet
When faced with seemingly equivalent choices, pick the once that maximizes your future options.
Oof no, this is bad advice. I followed this advice and it’s resulted in me having no career to speak of.
In order to have a good life, one needs to sacrifice option A to commit to B, or vice-versa.
Trying to maximize future options is a recipe for regret.
How do you know which option to pick though, if both seem equivalent in the moment?

Not always good advice.
An exclusive relationship, by definition, minimizes your future options but opens up a subset which are better for many/most people.
