diary - day 308
WFH, got the Pup! But, solo. Much harder. She's been a good egg though.
I just realised that I'm probably the most unsure about my career as I ever have been. I don't know what's on my horizon, I don't know where I want to go either.
I've tried having conversations with my boss, but there's no clarity at all. The company doesn't know what it wants from people looking to make it to staff engineer it seems, and so my boss can only hand-wave what to do. He isn't the best at communicating these things, as he is still quite new to it.
All of my old ways of collaborating with my manager don't really work here. Too small and unstructured of a company. My last place was quite rigid, especially in roles. I guess that's startups though? Dunno.
Sometimes I wonder if I even want to be an engineer any more. I wonder if tech is for me. I always joke about retiring and getting a farm...
I do want to try be/do more Product. Not sure how to though. Who knows... odd day motivationally.
