Thanks for this read. Find myself stuck in a position where I would like to engage in more responsibility at this level. However my manager holds on too tight. Difficult for him to depart with control.

That's a tough spot Justin, having a good manager is so important

β€œBecause this work was unattractive but impactful, it was mine for the taking.β€œ

This reminds me of when I first joined our teamβ€˜s oncall rotation.

It sucked, I got paged after hrs – but I massively leveled up while doing it.

Sometimes the impactful work is the boring work.

Going after impact and value, not just fun / flashiness of the work will take you far in your career πŸš€
