One of the highlights of my career so far has been working on a greenfield project for guest engagement at my current company, Cloudbeds (a cloud-based hotel management platform). I learned through this project how to build a team and product from the ground up and wanted share my journey and major takeaways.
How I advocated for my promotion.
I began to notice that the cognitive load that it took to attend my virtual meetings was at an all time high to the point where I dreaded hitting that ‘join’ button more than anything else. I kept pushing through and little by little felt myself becoming unhappier in both my work and personal life.
I have found that having mentors is a great way to get advice, feel connected, and grow within your personal and professional life.
Overall, my biggest takeaway has been to take care of and be kinder to myself.
I had done a great job of understanding what I was working on, but I had failed to completely grasp why I was working on it.
