I just didn’t know

At 22 I joined a startup to get as much exposure to different functions as possible. The idea was to work along side many different teams - and by along side I mean literally next to - so I can hear the conversations, understand the day to day, and really learn what it was that I had an affinity towards. This allowed me to rule out 90% of what I thought I might be interested in and focus on moving toward the 10% that I actually was interested in. If you have no idea what you want to do then I highly recommend optimizing your strategy for exposure: the goal should be to expose yourself to as many people with different backgrounds and focus areas as you can. I was able to realize the things I was both good at and interested in, and ultimately find the functions of business that allowed me to express both.
