Stephen A. Schwarzman Quotes

I am hoping for a long career.

I really moved through my career based on curiosity about something. I never looked at a title and said, 'I want that.'

If I had my career over again? Maybe I'd say to myself, speed it up a little.

I don't believe in that kind of pragmatic career ladder stuff.

I think I've had the slowest, most methodical career in the business.

As you get older, I think everyone feels that, no matter what the job: to try a hand at running the business as opposed to simply being an employee.

I think it's really important to remember that it's a long life, and it's a long career. In a perfect world, your career will be long. It does not begin and end with any one job. The point is to continue to have longevity in your career.

I want to have a long career.

When you're up-and-coming in your career, yes, maybe you have to dodge certain guys. 'Hey, my wrestling isn't good yet, let me get it on-point and then I'll come back there,' or, 'I'm not going to fight that guy right now,' because whatever, when you're up-and-coming. But once you're already at the top of your game, you're in there, man. That's it.

My focus has to be on my career.

In terms of my career, I am glad about the steps and moves that I have made.

You have to take control of your own career.

My so-called career is a haphazard thing.

For the most ambitious young people, the corporate ladder is obsolete.

You have to think of your career the way you look at the ocean, deciding which wave you're gonna take and which waves you're not gonna take. Some of the waves are going to be big, some are gonna be small, sometimes the sea is going to be calm. Your career is not going to be one steady march upward to glory.

The word career is a divisive word. It's a word that divides the normal life from business or professional life.
