I met with a career coach for the first time and generally liked her, but when discussing where I should aim next she suggested I consider a career in HR. Is it just me, or is that some really biased guidance? Would a man in a technical role be told to consider HR?
@ericabrescia At that point all I'd told her is that I like solving problems and growing people as a manager, and since I feel really satisfied with what I have now that I wanted to start thinking about what to plan for in 5-10 years. It really felt out of left field.
@varundikar Nope. I like people a lot, but only having people-based problems to solve sounds absolutely frustrating. I have no reason to want to get out of a technical role.
@zorbadgreek Because I like solving problems and managing people, and want to grow in my career. With that criteria it seems like several other options should have been top of mind first.
The problem with finally finishing a home improvement project is the frustrating realization that if you'd just dedicated three hours to the problem at any time in the past year and a half you could have already solved it.
With possibly hours left before Twitter disappears this might be my last chance to migrate to Mastodon. I'm now also https://t.co/goXIwTy0xm (or am I supposed to write it @[email protected] ?) I hope to find y'all again over there.
Today marks exactly 6 months since I joined @benchling! It was a big transition coming to this company, but my coworkers are awesome and I love knowing that I'm helping scientists be a little bit faster when they do important things like try to cure cancer.
