Hey everyone, I'd love some honest career advice. I'm 17 years old and currently trying to break into growth, operations, and AI automation roles. Over the past few years, I've spent most of my time building projects instead of waiting for permission: . AI workflow automations . Lead generation systems . Research and consumer intelligence tools . Growth experiments for startups The challenge I'm facing right now is turning those projects into the right full-time opportunity. For people who have already made it into startups: If you were 17 again with strong execution skills, a portfolio of projects, and a willingness to learn fast, what would you focus on over the next 12 months? Would you double down on:

I genuinely want to learn from people who've been through this stage. Any advice, hard truths, or things you wish you knew earlier would mean a lot. Your Younger Brother Mayur Ramchandani mayur-ramchandani.vercel.app Thanks

Hey everyone :) I'm Mayur Ramchandani, 17 years old, based in Mumbai, India. Over the last few years, I've been obsessed with one thing: building systems that help businesses grow. I work across growth, automation, AI workflows, lead generation, and product experiments. I've built: . AI-powered lead generation systems and outbound workflows . Automation projects using tools like n8n, Clay, and AI APIs . Consumer intelligence and research prototypes . Growth experiments for startups in hospitality and SaaS I love figuring out messy problems, connecting data, and turning ideas into systems that actually move metrics. Still early in my career, but I believe curiosity and execution compound fast. At 20, I'm trying to put myself in rooms where I can learn from smart builders and contribute wherever I can. Excited to learn from everyone here, share what I'm building, and hopefully collaborate with some amazing people along the way. If you're working on growth, AI, automation, or interesting startup problems, I'd love to connect. Thank you.
