If there are other EMs in this channel or others who have pivoted to a non-IC role, do you try to keep yourself fresh and your silks up to date? I’ve been starting to pick up something small that’s not in the line of work the team is building that would, say, prevent an incident that occurred in the future.

I definitely do try to keep my skills up to date and fresh. I actually think that is really important to do. Things change so quickly that you have to stay up to date with your training.

I agree, thank you for chiming in!

If you're focusing on something outside the team’s main area of work but that still contributes to preventing future incidents, that can definitely be a valuable way to keep your skills up to date. It’s like having a broader perspective that enhances your problem-solving ability, even if it’s not directly tied to current projects. Are you looking into something like preventative measures for system failures or security issues?

Thanks! It’s mainly actions on incidents that can prevent them from happening again

I try to put in a PR every Friday so I can stay close enough to the code while being able to handle all the other things required of an EM.

That’s a great cadence and think that’s a great thing to aspire to

My fiancé got approached for a Sales Executive Role at Instacart. Anyone have any insight into the company, job security, culture etc?

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
