That sounds awesome. Yeah. So I'm Jay. I work for a multinational global analytics and decision tools company, and specifically in the education sphere with medical education. So there's all sorts of different things that we do, but I primarily work on a software. I'm a product owner or product manager. Probably part of my problem is that we're kind of in flux between those two.

titles at the moment. But I've worked at this position for about four years. I started very inexperienced and certainly underqualified. My former boss basically suggested that I should go into this role. And I really appreciated his because I would not have taken that step without it. But that means that I came in feeling already very underqualified.

And so I think that's definitely contributed to how I currently feel pretty stagnant in my role. I've definitely learned a lot. I don't think that I've been behind on anything, but I don't feel necessarily like I've had great coaching up to this point in terms of career growth. I think in terms of the specific role and what I do on a daily basis, I think I'm killing it.

I get good feedback, but in terms of what's the next step, where do I go from here? I feel comfortable, but I also want I mean, I would like raise, I would like, you know, maybe the next level up on my title. And so I just haven't quite figured out how to prove that, how to navigate the corporate structure, those kinds of things.

I have. I think I've been... comfortable with where I am and I'm okay that I have that I've been a little stagnant but I think once I start to think through what the future looks like I'm open to other opportunities but I know that there's still a lot that's possible at my current job so it's kind of just depends on on how I can figure out how to like best

I think that, as I mentioned, I started as an underqualified person. And I know that can sound imposter syndrome-y, but I know that I was recommended for this job that I wasn't quite ready for. And so I know that my starting salary is lower than market average. And so I would at least like to get bumped up with my salary.
