[quote=svelte] If you’re truly a strong performer, you’ll eventually find a place that will let you excel if you keep looking for it.

Totally agree. Some people just have great persistence, drive, energy, people skills, creativity, intelligence, etc, and are bound to end up doing well. But if you’re an average (or below) performer (which, by definition, at least half the people are (somewhat more if you count the rather large bunch toward the middle of any bell curve as “average”)), I think the kinds of questions being asked here are more important.
I say this not to be contrary but to point out that, while truly strong performers will most likely end up doing well (if they keep looking for a place that will let them excel), for most people finding a good landing spot is somewhat harder and will probably require more…I don’t know, planning, preparation, searching, knowledge, wisdom etc. Or maybe it will just require more analysis of what their strengths are. I don’t really know what it requires; I wish I did. But it seems like it would require more of it for average people than for truly strong performers.
