My career isn't quite as long as his, but I concur with all the sentiments.

I will note that some of these are easier to say in hind-sight than do at the time.for example There's a lot of pressure on you in your early career to prioritize work over family.

I would add the following; if you have the choice, work at a place you like to go to, doing work you like to do, either people you can grow to work.

I know that's not practical advice for most, but if you are in such a place don't trade it away just for money or status.

And if you come across such an environment and are offered a spot the consider it carefully, even if it isn't the highest paying offer.
