Does experience pay off? Or is it just scarring? I guess that’s one of those questions that depends on whether you ever get another chance at achieving your goals. Maybe it’s just a question of nerve.
A web videographer I met a few weeks ago who had worked in the Bay Area through the boom-bust sounded decidedly optimistic. He thought that this was the perfect position to be in, to be a bit battle-hardened, but well-situated in the middle of SF. It’s a well-worn cliché both in and out of the Valley that “we are an engine of economic growth.” Though it’s exhausting (and self-absorbed) to walk around thinking that.
If you stuck around somewhere long past your sell-by date, what next?
