Tech career path in 8 mins flat. Where no manager ever tells so crisply, impact and relationship. But I guess you have to keep reestablishing the impact and relationship at every career move :)

In my current company I made three massive impacts that really changed how we do business. This is over the course of 10 years. I get a lot of clout cause of it. What's funny each one of those impacts actually took very little time for me to implement.

Great video Rahul! As software developer at a startup, I can understand what you mean by not sticking to a specific technology or language. Being able to leverage many technologies even if you don't know them very well is a top skill. I also loved the earning trust point. Trusted and loved people will definitely grow faster in their jobs or even outside in their communities.

Could we get a video on the different types of engineers at FB or in general? AFAIK, it's fullstack, mobile android/ios, backend(could talk ab this on a more granular level i.e - infra/product), frontend, ML. Might be missing some other things, but this would be helpful to people who are just starting out and don't know what's out there for them career path wise.

Loved the part about having to "earn trust" and building "social capital". Often times it's easy to simply focus only on our technical competence and ignore about the rest. A lot of junior engineers like myself can benefit greatly from this, instead of learning things the hard way 🙏

The example you gave in your second section brought up a good point I’ve been dealing with lately. One of my infra team members gets very upset when niche tech’s are used in non-optimal ways. How do you balance deep diving into tutorials v. building useful products
@RahulPandeyrkp 2 жыл бұрын
I'd encourage your teammate to share his/her wisdom in code reviews. If they're still frustrated, they need to change the approach: can they re-design the code such that the "easy" way is the optimal way? Or can they recruit others on the team to buy into some agreed set of principles and use cases for the technology?

A senior engineer is right a lot. - Amazon principles. Want to be valuable? Be right a lot. You don't need to need right all the time. In fact, if you are, you're either the world's expert (highly unlikely) or you're not stretching yourself and taking risks. A senior engineer knows when to take risks.

Hey Stuart, I was in that exact situation at my first job. I was at an early stage startup with a dev team of 3 juniors including myself, and we had to build all of our products from scratch. It seems daunting but work with your teammates (assuming you're not a one-man team) and you'll get so much exposure to different parts of the stack. It helped me land my next job as a full-stack dev as you'll have proven experience working with everything.
