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
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?
