Own Your Engineering Career (No One Else Will)

Own Your Engineering Career (No One Else Will)

Are you waiting for a promotion that never comes? In this episode, we break down why relying on your manager to define your growth is a career-limiting mistake and how you can take full ownership of your professional path.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why hard skills get you hired but won't get you ahead
  • How to create growth opportunities when your company has no clear path
  • Using RACI to own decisions and increase your visibility
