Should you discuss career goals with friends?

Not with every friend. Some people might compare or even feel jealous. I only talk about my career goals with close friends who genuinely care. Otherwise, I keep it private. Protecting your dreams is as important as sharing them.

Yes, discussing career goals with friends can be motivating. Friends can suggest new opportunities or share contacts. Once, my friend told me about a job opening that matched my skills perfectly. If I had kept my goals secret, I would have missed that chance. Openness can bring support and fresh ideas.
