I’ve had projects completely fall apart despite months of work, and the hardest part wasn’t the failure—it was getting the motivation to start fresh again. What helps you bounce back after a setback at work? :)

I've been in situations where I worked hard on something and the project wound up being abandoned. It's frustrating not to see what you've worked on become reality. When things like that happen I remind myself that it's a job, and I got paid to do the work. If the people I work for don't make the most of the work, that's something I can't control. And I'll get paid to keep working on something else.

Anyone make the transition to an SE role that have some advice?
