It should definitely be something that will keep you motivated all the time. You shouldn't think you're perfect. You should learn from your failures and focus on your development by interacting with the more experienced.

Focus on delegating outcomes rather than individual tasks, allow teams to work through issues rather than jumping in to direct/save them. Communicate openly and often. Make performance metrics highly visible and make decisions based on that.

Any other hiring managers feeling like all of your candidates are asking for more money last minute just to see how far they can go? Like if we say the range is 110-130K, they say they’re looking for 135K, you offer 135K and then they say they won’t take the job for less than 150? Not even with competing offers. It’s hard for me to stay excited about wanting to work with someone when they do that. What a waste of everyone’s time.
