So you’re saying the only time you were satisfied with your work is when you took the role of a product manager who stepped in between the engineers and the rest of the company and had all their contributions filtered through your ego?
Yea, that sounds pretty satisfying…
- phkahler 2y ago>> Unsurprisingly, me and my team managed to deliver three projects that other teams tried and failed several times. Not sure how important delivery was to the company, but it's nice when your personal goals match those of the company.
- whstl 2y agoNo. Keep in mind that: - I didn't step in between engineers and the company. I am an engineer. - I didn't step in between my team and the decision makers. It wasn't me who "invented" the requirements, nor it was me who said the projects were complete. - It was the only time in the last few years where I could actually follow the advice in this article and ship things people need. Because I could TALK with people. - My entire team got salary increases all across the board. - Everyone has an ego, and everyone has a personality. But nobody in a team should get to put "more" of their personality over the others. We had brand guidelines and accessibility requirements, but other than that we decided things together.
