Having a career plan is great, but you don't want to overdo it.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says the most common mistake he sees young people make is overplanning.
"I always tell people that the most common mistake I see in young people is that they overplan their career," Khosrowshahi said on a recent podcast of Acquired.
An analyst is not supposed to talk to a CEO," Khosrowshahi said.
IAC ended up buying Expedia in 2001, and four years later, Khosrowshahi became CEO of the travel booking company.
