    Win: Getting my last 2 jobs from personal recommendation aka referrals from ex colleges (they recommended me because they knew what I'm capable to do), which gave me external feedback and a sort kind of validation, which is not my primary concern but always grateful to receive.

    Loss: Got confortable and be closed to more job opportunities.

    Your only limit is your mind.
