You Market Fit
summary
Practical career plan that treats yourself like a product: define yourself as a product, then analyze target markets, run small MVP experiments (one resume variant, one exploratory interview, one freelance or OSS contribution), validate with a proof of concept, gather feedback, and iterate by changing one variable at a time. Examples include Scrub Daddy and Airbnb pivots; benefits of fit are organic opportunities, easier interviews, longer tenure and flexibility. Pitfalls are overselling, broad casting, and not packaging profiles to match the market.
