Confession: Sometimes I’m afraid to ask for more resources in my role, because what if I have everything I need to succeed and still come up short?

Anyone else experience this and successfully push through that fear?

All the tools in the world can't make an idea. I lay down with fear every night and wake up next to it each morning. Everyone does. If they say they don't, they're hiding more than just fear.

The person who gives you the resources is not the same as the person / people judging your work. Don’t worry. Get the equipment and help you need and know that you’ll be making your own life easier so you can focus on the big ideas.

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

Dealing with some shit. Started a new job remotely (I’ll be moving there in Jan). First few weeks great.

It’s not hurt feelings so much (although tbh I am a little wounded) but how do I prevent this from turning into a downward spiral?
