How do you have a respectful conversation with your seniors when you ask them if you can add yourself to projects and they say "you're not ready for the next level of responsibilities yet". The very reason I want to take up these extra projects is to show my readiness to work & learn harder, and possibly take up more senior positions. I felt shut out and don't know how to reopen the conversation. Ideas?

Acknowledge their feedback, express your eagerness to grow, and ask what specific skills or milestones would demonstrate readiness. You could try and go back to suggest smaller projects or shadowing opportunities to prove yourself step-by-step, showing you’re serious but respectful of their perspective.

Asking what you need to do shows them you aren’t ready for that next level. Take the initiative and figure it out.

Asking them what projects I can join shows I'm not ready? Just trying to clarify what your comment is.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?
