No One Shares Their Failures, They All Talk About Their Successes

I Want to Change the Paradigm and Share My Failures.

If you’ve used LinkedIn, you might relate to what I’m saying.

Everyone shares their successes on social media, but hardly anyone shares their failures. This puts too much pressure on others who are on their journey to achieve similar goals.

I once found myself in that position, and I still am.

I attended a Tier 3 college and aimed to kickstart my career with what we called ‘Dream Companies’ — the highest-paying firms that visited our campus for recruitment. Dell was my primary target.

But you know what I will say next — ‘life happens’.

Sometimes, even if you believe you deserve something, you might not achieve it because perhaps there’s a different plan for you.

I joined a service-based organization to eventually transition into a product-based company and then aim for FAANG or a similar organization.

I have always been determined to keep moving forward without losing sight of my goals. In my view, continuous growth should be the only constant in one’s career.

However, I must admit, that this journey has never been easy.
