Emmett Shear, former CEO of Twitch, shared his career advice for interns in a recent thread on X. He emphasized the importance of understanding personal motivations behind career choices, such as money, prestige, power, and advancement opportunities. Shear cautioned that each of these motivations has its downsides, urging interns to focus on learning and growth instead.
Shear highlighted that while money is a common motivator, it often leads to diminishing returns. He also pointed out that prestige can be misleading and that power in early career stages is often illusory. Ultimately, he advised that individuals should prioritize cash for stability, seek opportunities for personal growth, and disregard other superficial factors.
• Shear emphasizes learning and growth over traditional career motivations.
• Advice includes prioritizing cash and intrinsic rewards in career choices.
Career motivation refers to the underlying reasons individuals choose specific career paths, which Shear discusses in relation to personal values.
