A chat with my mentor about my 'safe' job path really got me thinking.

He said, 'You're building a career for the person you were five years ago, not the one you want to be,' and it hit me that I need to start applying for those project lead roles I keep avoiding.

Consider how your future self will judge the safety of staying put. That fear you're avoiding might be the exact signal you need to chase.

Honestly, what if you catch it and it's just... boring? That anticlimax would sting worse than any failure.
