Last week I was in a fun thread about career advice. I& #39;m one of those people who will hand it out, whether you ask or not. Here& #39;s my top 5 for #gamesUR but I think it applies more broadly. 1/6
Communication is part of the job. It gives others a view into the impact you have. Instead of trying to work at 120%, work at 90% and spend another 10% communicating up the chain and out to your stakeholders. It will add up to way more, and you won& #39;t burn out. 2/6
Throw yourself a parade. UR can be hesitant to claim victory. Or we need the exact right data to show attribution. Guess what? Nobody else worries about that. So tell everybody you did a great job and move on. 4/6
Your job is to get your boss& #39; boss promoted. So think about what you can do, or are doing to help your management chain. Sounds a bit sleazy but it will force you to see how your work rolls up to the organizational level. 3/6
Put your manager on the hook for your career. If your manager is any good, they realize it& #39;s their job to get you promoted. So make it clear what you want, and make it clear that you expect them to help you get there. 5/6
All the stuff that gets in the way of you "doing your job"? That is the job. That& #39;s what you get paid for. Executing on amazing research is just the start. Everything else is what it means to be an applied researcher trying to build something. 6/6
