My career path makes no sense on paper.
I'm 29. No niche at 21. Instead: business informatics → design → freelancing → marketing → UI/UX → Miro (2 months exp) → product leadership → my own business.
Every chapter gave me something: systems thinking, craft, positioning, user behavior, decision‑making, ownership.
If your path feels messy:
Stop forcing a neat story. Careers rarely look linear while you're living them.
Follow what pulls you back. Not what others expect.
Let your skills stack. The “weird” mix is often your edge.
Don’t niche too early. You learn by exploring.
A career doesn't need to be linear to be successful. What feels messy now might become your biggest advantage later.
Looking back, my path makes perfect sense. Just not on paper 😉
P.S. What’s one unexpected chapter that helped you most?
