Tell HN: A reminder you hold so much power
by throwarayes on Hacker News.
Having a tough time on your team? Bad relationship with your lead? Working on a death March project? Burnt out? A reminder you hold so many cards Your org needs you. There are so many software eng opportunities right now, and even with a bear market, you have enough options for employment that your company should be working hard to retain you. Take care of yourself: you work for YouInc, not your company. You and your satisfaction/sanity are the product. Your employer is just a customer. Don’t get gaslit into believing in the cult around a specific company, no matter how grand. You can do it. You can interview and get good at selling yourself. Don’t sell yourself short. I believe in you 🙂 Focus on building YouInc – your personal brand and “product”. Constantly market and grow independent of your employer and you can go far!
