Loyalty is destroying your career: This guy discovered something counterintuitive about employment. He built PayPal and LinkedIn using this exact philosophy. Here's his framework for making life-changing decisions (& knowing when to quit): Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, discovered something surprising: Blind loyalty is holding you back. Most people believe staying at a company longer means success. But the average job tenure today is just 4.1 years (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). At PayPal, Hoffman noticed something unusual. The best employees weren’t the most loyal. They treated jobs like "tours of duty"—joining with a clear mission, delivering results, and moving on. Instead of pretending jobs are permanent, he asked: What if loyalty was about impact, not time? At LinkedIn, he applied this mindset. Employees were encouraged to treat jobs as stepping stones. Work was structured into 2-4 year missions with clear goals. The focus shifted from loyalty to growth. Companies that embraced this approach saw higher engagement, more innovation, and stronger retention (Deloitte, LinkedIn research). But the real game-changer? Networking. Hoffman realized success doesn’t come from loyalty to companies—it comes from loyalty to your network. How to Take Control of Your Career Stop thinking of jobs as permanent. Treat them as strategic moves. Enter every job with a mission. Set clear goals and timelines. Build strong relationships across industries. Prioritize impact over tenure. Know when to move on. If you’re no longer growing, your values don’t align, or you’ve hit a ceiling, it’s time. Your career is a startup. Your skills are the product. Your network is the market. Success comes from making smart, intentional moves. I share insights like this to help you grow smarter and faster in your career. Follow Vishu Bheda for more game-changing strategies.
