Summary

Career growth in a scale-up world is marked by the need to continuously give away parts of one's role to free up focus on newer challenges, as opposed to feeling under-appreciated despite hard work. This intentional embrace of change allows for growth to occur. In a scale-up environment, opportunities for growth are abundant, but require security, trust, and a willingness to take risks. To make the most of these opportunities, individuals must be willing to "give away their legos" and continually challenge themselves with new experiences and skills. This mindset is crucial for career growth in scale-ups, where the stakes are high and alternatives are few.
