Our Mission
To cut through the noise and deliver career advice that actually works.
Mission Statement
Follow My Stuff exists to empower professionals at every stage of their career with honest, actionable advice that bridges the gap between where they are and where they want to be – without the corporate speak, outdated tactics, or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Why We Exist
The career advice industry is broken. It's filled with recycled content, generic tips that sound profound but mean nothing, and strategies that haven't been relevant since dial-up internet was a thing. Meanwhile, the workplace is evolving faster than ever.
We started Follow My Stuff because we believe professionals deserve better. You deserve advice that acknowledges the realities of modern work, respects your intelligence, and actually helps you make progress.
Our Core Beliefs
Honesty Over Hype
We believe in telling the truth about careers, even when it's uncomfortable. Not every passion can be monetized, not every job will be fulfilling, and that's okay. Real advice acknowledges reality.
Action Over Inspiration
Motivational quotes don't pay bills. We focus on specific, actionable steps you can take today to improve your career tomorrow. Every article should leave you with something you can actually do.
Progress Over Perfection
Career development isn't about finding the perfect path; it's about making consistent progress. We believe in incremental improvements, learning from failures, and adapting as you go.
Individual Over Universal
There's no universal career formula. What works for a software engineer won't work for a teacher. We provide frameworks and strategies you can adapt to your unique situation, not rigid rules.
Balance Over Burnout
Success shouldn't come at the cost of your health, relationships, or sanity. We advocate for sustainable career growth that enhances your life, not consumes it.
Our Commitment to You
We're committed to being the career resource we wish existed when we were starting out. That means:
- ✓Staying Current: We continuously update our advice to reflect the modern workplace, not outdated conventions
- ✓Being Accessible: No paywalls for essential career advice. Everyone deserves access to quality guidance
- ✓Maintaining Quality: We'd rather publish one great article than ten mediocre ones. Quality over quantity, always
- ✓Respecting Your Time: Clear, concise advice that gets to the point. Your time is valuable
- ✓Keeping It Real: We'll never pretend to have all the answers. When we don't know something, we'll say so
