Like, you can't control if you're going to get laid off or not.

It actually most of it right now is not it's not performance is business.

Yeah.

And so you can choose to do your job trying to kind of protect yourself against that.

But actually, like,

no matter what you do, it still might come for you.

So how do you focus on the things you can control?

The main point is, how do you make the most of where you are today?

How do you leave whenever you leave, however you leave, with a great story?

And that...

does come down to pushing yourself to take advantage of the role that you're in now, whatever that looks like.

And it can be small iterative risks.

It can be slightly bigger risks inside the company that you're in where you're proving to yourself that you can do a whole role that you didn't know you could do.

But I would just say like this job market, there's a lot of stuff that's out of people's control.

So I would really focus on the things that you can control, which is your own experience at your current company.

And, you know, the other thing I'll just say is like, you think when it happens, it defines everything.

Like suddenly you think it's like this Scarlet A or whatever the right metaphor is that you're going to carry with you forever.

And the truth is, it's I always say it's just a chapter.

It's not the whole book.

Like it's just a thing that's going to happen.
