I get approached a lot by recruiters. Like most modern algorithm, powered things, it suggests more of the same. This poses a challenge for me as I want to do things differently.

Most senior roles, technology or otherwise, should be able to strike a good balance between solving existing problems and creating new problems. In aggregate, they should solve more problems than they create, and this is how we make progress; fulfilling general goals but also agitating for improvements. One of my line managers once called this "looking for the right kind of trouble".

I know holding out through terrible work conditions to officially reach your bonus can be enticing, but remember to account for what you're losing while you wait. Once you've accounted for that, compare that to your estimated bonus to see if it's truly worth it.

“A promotion is recognition of the work you’re already doing—so work at that level and wait for it to be recognized.” Fuck everything about that; “wait for your work to be rewarded” sounds like exactly how many successful people you know?

Looking back, I kinda regret not asking some of my ex-managers more about how they work before taking the respective roles. It can be easy to underestimate the impact one person can have on your career in the early years.

This is a really interesting post. Only the other day, Anna and I had been talking about how it'd be interesting to work 4 days a week, or even part time. It sounds like it'd be a great opportunity if you're able to financially cover it

This is a great idea, which I believe I've seen Julia mention in the past, and I definitely agree that this can help with making sure you remember what you've done! In a previous job we had 'monthly status reports' which were an overhead at the time, but when leaving the job (as my placement year was up) I was able to look back at all the stuff that I'd achieved.

I like to get microfeedback from colleagues, so throughout the year I'm getting bits of feedback on things I've worked on, so for 6-month checkins I've got lots of evidence.
