Is it March again? Time for Round 3 of our series 30 things to know before you turn 30! Think of it not as a sequel, but a spin-off - It's the Career Edition. Our 30 grown-ups draw from their experiences on the job and off it. There's advice on getting noticed, jumping ship, building trust, staying sceptical, handling defeat, holding your own, and logging out on time. Let's go.
Anubhuti Raikwar, 38, brand manager Don't be afraid to kiss ass. If sucking up to the boss, showing up early, and being the last to leave is helping your career, or makes office life bearable, don't worry about what people say. You do you.
Apoorv Mohan Shrivastava, 31, founder, Plush Affairs The secret to success is in your daily routine. And to have a day full of small accomplishments, learn to organise your day well. With my wedding photography company, I started making to-do lists early on, prioritising the important tasks. Lean on Google Tasks and Apple Reminders to keep track of everything, even a break, a thank-you note, and a last-minute fact check.
Aditi Handa, 39, co-founder & head chef, The Baker's Dozen Perfection is the enemy of the good. When we were looking to open in Bandra, Mumbai, in 2013, we were fixated on the ideal store, location, and rent. It never materialised. We set up an average-looking store in a good spot, with reasonable rent. It's turned out to be our most profitable one.
Mehak Shahani, 35, co-founder, WedMeGood Long before you turn 30, you'll realise that 70% of all work is boring. Only if you do the grunt work can you get to the 30% that's truly exciting. Be open to different kinds of work so you find your Aha! moment earlier. Don't turn down opportunities because they don't fit into your ideal "role". It's naïve to assume that you know what you want at 23.
