It's not about skill. My brother who recently started programming has a lot of autonomy at work because he's trying to help out the business in anything he does there. Same thing has happened to me. Your boss is more likely to let you do your own thing when you actually want to help make the company and your boss succeed. Again it's not always about skill
- SatvikBeri 10y agoYeah, I've had a similar experience. Programmers who show that they care about the business tend to get a lot of trust, and therefore a lot of autonomy.
- Delmania 10y agoThe quickest way up the ladder is to prove to the person above you that his (or her concerns) are yours, and to proactively solve them.
- taneq 10y agoThis depends entirely on the person above you. I've found in the past that doing this just results in the person above me either (a) feeling threatened, or (b) relying on me to solve all their problems. Neither is good for career progression.
