From Comfort Zone to Hyper-Growth: How to Gain 5 Years of Experience in 1-2

This article explores the variability in learning speed during career progression. The author argues that certain periods yield exceptionally high learning efficiency, akin to compressing years of experience into mere months. Using the acquisition of Drivy by Getaround as an example, the author recounts a high-pressure experience involving complex tasks and rapid personal growth. Four zones are introduced: Comfort, Learning, Fast Growth, and Burnout. The author suggests navigating flexibly between these zones, maintaining continuous learning, and avoiding stagnation in either comfort or prolonged hyper-growth.
