After 4 years, tomorrow is my last day at @sharenowTech - here are the learnings of that time that stay with me for years to come.

Don’t just complain about the situation, do something about it. I’m much happier when I feel I’m in control.
When something sucks, I ask what I can do to fix it. Not blame people.
Climb the latter if you want bigger organizational impact. Don’t climb for money. Especially going into management is not a step up but to the side. Make sure to know why, because losing a good IC for a bad manager is the worst for everyone.
Find talented people in your org that want to trigger change like you do. Then go for one problem at a time. You can’t fix everything.
To climb the ladder, learn your bosses goals, and her bosses goals (personal and business). Learn negotiation, speaking, presenting. Be visible. Make it easy for others to argue why you should be promoted.
