I think this is an insightful post that is equally applicable to people in their 20s (such as myself). I've been asking myself the same question of what do I want to do in the next couple of years of post-graduation. But I'm at odds with myself over the prospect of maintaining a steady lifestyle and income by seeking well-paying jobs in the tech industry, jumping head-first into the startup world, or just chasing down other lifelong dreams that have nothing to do with the world of tech or engineering.

Ultimately, it's a matter of what job gives you those three benefits (mastery, autonomy, and purpose as the article points out). Will working at Google after graduation satisfy that point? I'm not sure. Will doing a startup? I can't say as I haven't done one. Will working in some other industry do that?

I struggle to figure out what to do with the next couple of years of my life. So I'm keen to listen to what folks have to say about what they plan to do in the long-term (15-30 years out), as well as the short-to-middle term (6 months, 2 years, 5 years, etc).
