3/4 - It's okay to step off the "ladder". You can always jump back on if you decide it's the path you want to take. - At the speed at which technology is progressing, there is room for nascent career paths in growth, personalization, and more.

2/4 - Be kind to yourself: Give yourself the time and space to explore what matters to you. - There are many other opportunities out there; being a CPO is not the only path to take.
