Career Advice for People Who Feel Lost | Kata 7
Description
In this session, we talk about confusion and why it is such a common problem, especially early in your career. We look at how having too many options, constant exposure to new opportunities, and fear of making the wrong choice keeps people stuck. The idea is simple, most people are not lacking ability, they are just unable to decide and commit.

We then break down how to deal with this. Instead of chasing everything, we focus on choosing one thing and sticking with it long enough for it to work. We also talk about the difference between being confused and actually diversifying, and why doing too many things too early reduces your impact.
Finally, we look at how decisions should be made in practice. When to move fast, when to take time, and why taking action matters more than overthinking. The core idea is that clarity does not come before action, it comes after you decide and start.
