HOW TO BUILD A CAREER YOU ENJOY AS AN ENGINEER. WHAT I WISH SOMEONE TOLD ME WHEN I STARTED

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

To progress in your career, focus on impactful projects that align with your skills and interests rather than settling for easy tasks. You should take control and proactively seek out high-impact projects that contribute to company goals and your own career development. These projects should challenge you and it’s easier to work on something challenging if it’s also work that is meaningful to you, aligns with your strengths, and has a significant impact on your company. When you find an area you excel in, invest time and energy to become an expert and the go-to in that area.
