This list is 🎯. I felt so many of these at my previous jobs. It can be so easy to get stuck in the loop of what's going on instead of just saying you're ready to level up. Thank you for mentioning my letter :)

Getting stuck in the loop is exactly what happens for most people. And that's exactly the moment when it's helpful to dig a little deeper and own what's happening (that you want more!). So cool that you could see previous versions of yourself in this roundup.

+ You're so welcome, thank you for highlighting an important conversation!

Love this! So many good observations, but this one especially has felt true for me a number of times throughout my career: “You probably also catch yourself thinking about stakeholder management, timelines and dependencies, and resource allocation even when “it’s not your job” to think about those things.”

Love that you’ve experienced it in your career. It’s so real. When you start thinking about how the system functions instead of just operating within it - it’s a huge sign.
