Solid framework on career resiliance. The pedal ratio concept really clarifies something I've noticed but couldn't articulate well, especially that shift from 80/20 to 50/50 as tenure builds. I think most ppl wait until the reorg rumors start, but by then the scramble feels pretty transparnt to everyone watching. Building optionality while still employed isnt just easier, it compounds way diferently.
Thanks—and 100%. People often wait to take second pedal activity until it’s “too late,” e.g. layoffs or a massive reorg and by that point it becomes the job equivalent of telemarketing (hire me please!) vs natural relationship building. I wonder if people would be more open to the idea of “networking” if it wasn’t in the context of a pressure-filled situation but framed as an ongoing part of building a career. Hopefully people will take away that, like a bike, both pedals always need to be moving (even if one is temporarily at a slower pace!).
