What has growth looked like for you? I've been in housekeeping for 3 years, and I can't get myself to believe that I'm worth more. It's not because I don't think I'm capable, but more because I don't think there's a clear path .. and I'm not able to carve my own. How did you do it?

I thought the same when I first entered the workforce. I had to develop a plan for growth for myself. I knew no one would husband me chances, I had to go for it. So I built my experience in each position until I was ready for the next.

It honestly takes work and a plan as you stated. Plus leadership that will help you get to where you wanna be.

I honestly, haven't had a lot of growth over the last decade. It is one of the reasons I have been looking into switching industries. I don't feel like there is a lot of growth where I am at now.

I went through that mindset for a long time and sometimes still find myself thinking that way. Although not as much it does take work to get out of it.

I hear you—growth can feel unclear, especially when there’s no set path. For me, it was about finding small wins, showing initiative, and eventually making my own opportunities. It’s tough, but believing in your worth is step one.

Hi Fishes,
How do you cope up with impostor syndrome when it comes to coding skills? There are many less experienced Devs who are solid on coding , and getting interviewed by them, sometimes I observe they know so much more. Even if I make it through that round, and learn new things, this constant anxiety of not being good enough does not go away. Anyone else faces this too?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
