Fully agree with what everyone says, but really thought there would be more stories were blog posts help advance careers. One of my early blogs got shared on a popular newsletter by someone quirky and witty author known by most of the AWS community. Someone in America noticed, I took the job offer, starting next month and might be making my way there permanently within a year or two.

Soon there after I got approached by a few companies asking me to write blogs for them. My intentions were to contribute back into the community, and I have always found it very fulfilling in helping and teaching others, just sharing in general.

You never know what might happen, I for one never though my next career shift would be because of my blog. So don't dismiss the idea, but also don't set your hopes to high. What goes around comes around.
