- colleague >> Your colleagues are not your friends.. it might happen, but more often then not they are at best work frends, at worst some pos master
- boss >> Your boss is not your friend.. he might ne sympathetic, it might happen to be a friend vero rarely, but usually he's just simeone interested in your output to leverage his own growth.
- meet yourself as a boss >>Additional point, he is your boss now, you will be Himalaya later, less of a douche maybe, but ultimately simeone else growth is either a plus point for you (he's under you), an opportunity (empty job position, though Internal promotion twice is a very tricky situation from the company pov).
- track your success for any apparisse and document >> if your perceived success doesn't align to results (raise, promozione + raise, promotion online as tricky as it is) either you're full of it and there's no success there, or your company is not investing in you. Either way is this situation repeats and you're confident in your success, take your chance and leave: if you're not in a mom and pop shop, giving an high performance a 10% raise is always feasible.
- keep interviewing >> have at least 2 interview an year to keep your interview-fu up to snuff and to have a creare pitture of the marketing evaluation for your profile
- commitment >> never ever ever give 100% as a normal output. Tra to use your 75-80%, this eay when you'll be asked for more you still ample reserves, and should it be necessary to go above and beyond, you can commit for it and still not turn out like a zombie
Best advice: “Document like your future self is sleep-deprived and debugging at 2 a.m.” Worst? “Stick it out—every tech job is rough.” Nope. Some environments are just toxic, not character-building.
best: the only response to feedback is thank you. Don't get defensive or offer a rebuttal if you disagree with it. Perception is reality. If you disagree, just validate the person giving it and then forget about it/figure out how to prevent it from recurring (if applicable)
