When I first started my career, I wanted to become a manager ASAP. To me, that was success.

Today, I hope I can push management a couple more years...

A good manager needs to be deeply invested in their team.

An individual contributor gets to be selfish and mainly invested in their growth.

I still have SO much professional growth + learnings to achieve. I‘m sure it’ll alway feel this way...but I know the moment is not now.

And that’s 100% okay - my career isn’t an endpoint. It’s the entire journey.

Future Ashna will circle back to this thread in 2022 and provide an update then.

Until then... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚀" title="Rakete" aria-label="Emoji: Rakete">
