I’ve found my WLB to be much better than consulting.

You can’t BS your way through so if you aren’t knowledgeable about your areas of ownership, can’t get things accomplished, and if you don’t take feedback well, you’ll struggle.

I worked a lot more at B4. The biggest learning curve here at AWS is keeping up with the services. But it is so exciting and the work is so much more fulfilling. Less bureaucracy because things are moving so fast you just have to get s**t done

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.
