  • Lots of great advice in here. I haven't tried the pomodoro technique in a long time, definitely need to use that again. Never had the habit stick.

    One thing I struggled with for a long while is corporate career progression culture. At my last job I was strung along for a few years, then my manager was surprised I wasn't "engaged" with the work. It really felt like if you weren't moving up then you were going to get pushed out the door or left behind. Otoh I think the only reason I'd want a promotion to a senior position is to do "what you're supposed to do", vs just clocking in and out which is what I'd much rather do.

    Definitely agree about getting chummy with coworkers. Colleagues on other teams are also great people to socialize with if able, and can often share helpful perspectives a direct teammate might avoid sharing.
