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.

And the only way that I really see that happening is for me to really make a strong case for why I'm ready for the next level. Okay.

I have some of them. I think I feel like my strengths and the best feedback I get are on more of the soft skills. And so I know that I am making a difference to the bottom line, but in terms of how to prove that, I definitely get stuck.

Yeah, I mean, we've shipped one very large new product that I got to work on from start to finish. So that was a really big deal. But the problem with that in terms of me being able to brag about it is that I'm the junior product manager on that role. And so the day-to-day stuff, like, yeah, I was totally in charge of that. But in terms of the big decisions, they weren't my calls.

So the level to which I'm able to like... prove that I'm leveling up when someone else was over me feels messy.

I think that makes complete sense. And being able to articulate my contributions to the greater whole as a junior is like probably the biggest gap.

Yeah, for sure. So a lot, I would say the majority of people that I work with within my department and across are long-term employees. And I definitely have seen lots of opportunities for growth and lots of people getting, you know, promoted or switching departments. And it's very flexible and our product team is very collaborative and

And so I feel like there's definitely room to grow and places for me to grow. And then, as I mentioned before, because it's such a large company, I'm definitely open to also transferring into a different sphere within the greater organization. And I think that my manager and the people that I work with are open to helping me get to those places.
