I always value those who are curious and open-minded enough to continue their learning process even when they land a job. You cannot teach people unless they want to learn — and when they want to learn and they have access to resources, there is nothing to stop their progress.
The rate of change today is mind-bending. University degrees and books won't be able to give you the tactical answers you need — their information will be irrelevant by the time it reaches you.
The most important attribute will be your ability to remain a student for your entire life. To treat learning like a lifelong sport — one you have to make a daily practice of, irrespective of your success or comfort.
The people I promoted fastest weren't the ones with the best CVs. They were the ones I'd find teaching themselves something nobody asked them to learn. Reading, experimenting, questioning what they already knew.
The pattern is unmistakable: the highest performers were already obsoleting themselves before anyone else could obsolete them.
What separates the people who will thrive in this new world is how quickly they can abandon and question what they know. How comfortable are you being a beginner again next week?
Always bet on the self-educators.
