""Don't worry too much about starting salaries and be very careful who you work for because you will take on the habits of the people around you," Buffett warned the next generation of workers during his final Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting. "There are certain jobs you shouldn't take." The 95-year-old hedge fund mogul has decades worth of experience to draw upon;"
"Looking back, Buffett shared the importance of getting on with the five bosses he served under in those early years-and he advises young professionals to find the same, since it can have an enormous ripple effect on the rest of their career and progression. "If you find people that are wonderful to work with, that's the place to go," Buffett continued."
A long-tenured CEO reflected on an eight-decade career and advised young workers to avoid overemphasizing starting salaries and to be selective about employers. Early jobs included selling Coke bottles and delivering newspapers at 13, then roles at a family brokerage and as a securities analyst. The CEO emphasized the importance of getting along with early bosses, finding colleagues who are admirable, and choosing workplaces with positive habits because coworkers influence long-term career direction. Additional guidance urged associating with people who are better and focusing on honing personal strengths. The career trajectory benefited from entrepreneurial early experiences and careful choice of mentors.
