Generic advice for starting a tech career might be to move to a city with a lot of tech jobs. That might be the easiest route for optimizing for the breadth of your network, but I'm not convinced that's the best way to advance your career *if* you know what you want to do.

Maybe you want to go into the FoodTech venture capital space. Spend all your effort trying to get a job at the #1 FoodTechVC firm. Find a way to go deep in the relationships that lead you in the right direction.

Don't have the time or resources to commit all your effort? Maybe the best thing to do would be to minimize living expenses, spend the min amount of time earning $ to sustain yourself, and w/ the rest of your time, do everything you can to go deep w/ the right relationships

That's probably providing value and working for free. What that might look like: 1) Work online to sustain yourself (unfortunately, your avg min potential income likely depends on your nationality and/or language)

2) Work backward to think about exactly who you want to build relationships with. Then, create deep relationships with those people or that person by providing value for free.

3) Live w/ family or better, move to SW Asia or LatAm for a bit (you'll free up the max amount of time through the cost of liv arbitrage)

When someone gives you a chance at a paid, full-time gig that provides you a better chance to go deep on more relationships that take you in the right direction, take it.

That might require you to move if it's not remote, but in-person, or better yet, semi-remote (meet regularly in-person) can pay dividends.

/end Most of this was just a thought combatting the idea that you can't start building a career remotely, and that after you're done finding out what you want to do traveling/living in Latam/Asia, you'll move back home and start your career. I think that's BS.

I think *not* knowing what you want to do creates an even stronger argument for pursuing a cost of living arbitrage scenario. You'll have so much more room to take risks, learn, discover your interests, etc. than if you were in an area w/ a high cost of living
