Sirovatsky named important qualities for a successful career

To build a successful career, it is important to exercise discipline, develop hard skills and, if possible, avoid a junior management position. This was stated on September 6 by Alexander Sirovatsky, Vice President of Strategy at Media Instinct Group, during the youth forum "Day of the Future", "Upward trajectory. How career paths correlate with business growth" within the framework of the Eastern Economic Forum - 2025 (WEF-2025).

"You have to be disciplined. If it says come at 10, you need to come at 10. If it says to send the document at 9:30 a.m., it should be sent at 9:29 a.m.," Sirovatsky said.

According to the expert, 20% of employees at the start of their career "fall down" on this very thing. Therefore, discipline is an important asset that will be relevant forever.

He also called for the development of hard skills, since it is precisely such skills that are relevant and in demand for a specialist.

"Soft skills are needed only at the executive level. at the level of a specialist, a junior specialist, no one needs it," the speaker added.

He also called for avoiding junior leadership positions and completing this stage of work as soon as possible.

"And such an insider, avoid junior leadership positions. <...> This is the hardest job: you've been given a little more money, but you're already a leader and people are asking you," the expert advised.
