I disagree with number 3. It's easy for her to say since she's gotten the roles and titles. In my personal experience, I've screwed myself by NOT getting the proper titles for the work I was doing. This has nothing to do with doing the job first. Now when I apply for appropriately leveled jobs, I'm almost immediately ignored because of my previous titles - regardless of the work I actually did. Tread carefully.
This is true.
Rahul, I stumbled upon your channel by accident - I am so happy that I did. I am an experienced engineer who is aware of all the principles put forth in all your videos, but I really needed for someone to say them out loud and you did it. Thanks, Rahul
I like learning about managers' perspective. Thanks for the video Taro!
Thanks for this great piece Rahul and Rachel
Very insightful! Thank you Rahul and Rachel for making this free.
Mistake 3 is so eye opening. Thanks Rachael.
Great video. Thank you so much!
Hey, Rahul. Great content as always. I had some feedback though, I think a fade in between audio channels when switching would be much smoother and pleasant to hear than an abrupt switch.
Thank you for this video, Rahul! Also incredible to see her say “ask your manager, ask him” and then correct to “ask them”, so eye-opening 😌
Great insights!💯✨
Great vid Rahul thanks
Thanks for this 💖💖
Great content! Having insights from people who have had exceptional growth over their career is invaluable.
Very good interview.
Rahul has a great smile 0:40 . Don't see it often
ayy yo , i caught feelings too🤣
Gayyyyyy
Wtf is ur usernmae atleast type it properly
My man looking sharp
*blushing* 😊
Excellent video
I totally agree with 1 and 2... But if you're at a place where your manager expects you to be 110% percent on all the time AND you're doing the same tasks over and over again, you find yourself stuck in a place with no time or energy to learn new things. And then it's time to leave.
In the last 7 months i worked like crazy to get the project out and i suffered eyes pain and headaches and back and neck pain , now im slacking because im tired of programming
definition of burnout
shower is so important that it gives us thinking about different perspectives
This is good general advice for junior engineers, but as with any general advice, it may not apply in all situations. More senior folks need to consider other factors and decide how to apply them. Personally, I've been in toxic teams where the best course of action is to leave in order to continue to grow. Mistake/Advice #3 sounds like a manager telling engineers to 'trust the system' (and I've told my junior engineers the same as well), but getting to more senior/staff levels is circumstantial and depends on a lot more than raw talent.
Yep, certainly the specific context leads to a lot of nuance
That's actually why we built Taro :)
Awesome thumbnail🙌😄
The third mistake is funny to me. I love basketball and you hear a lot about the team game in sports, yet few players and few situations foster such a selfless team play, often for a limited time until the contract year is up.
Yes, the titles are designed for companies' management needs, and yet from the perspective of an average worker most of the value they get from the company is money which depends on your title. The suggestion about sharing ideas about your possible role is nice, but I don't see how it addresses the problem.
Address what problem? Third mistake says focus on game rather than score cards
@@recursion. Well if they meant the solution is "just do it", then ok. Idk it's enough, it's psychology.
Go Rachel!
How did she became head of Engineering in just 9 years? I mean people don't even reach principal engineer level in that much time.
Do you think it could be because she was at Yelp rather than a significantly larger company?
probably crazy attrition inside Yelp, for fast promo like this is usually more circumstantial and luck, but not discounting the person's talent for sure. just saying that it'll take longer if they're in a bigger shop where good talend tends to stay overtime rather than leaving every few years.
Emotional energy....is the biggest drainers.
but can she stop people on airbnb from charging 100 dollar cleaning fees?
ABNB hosts have reached peak greed, hotels are now a better option. No curfews, no cleaning fees
@@EnterANameReal yah its all gone to shit havent stayed in one for years now I'll always book hotels instead
So glad you are promoting healthy career paths and gender diversity
Don’t work too hard sounds like advice from a tier one sillicon valley company where sqrt(employees) is hard carrying everyone else
get a better mic lol i can hear the air going in and out
still working on the setup for multi-person interviews!
If it's a mysterious title (somewhat clickbaity), please don't also hide the sections of the video as "mistake #1 #2 and #3". I get metrics on YT will be better, but conversion on Taro will be worse, and this strategy is slowly working less and less for the likes of me. Please consider providing a more direct information what the content is about more upfront. Thanks.
P. S. I didn't watch the video.
Thanks for the feedback, I updated the video chapters to include more of the context.
Amazing, thank you 🙌
Given the quality content he's giving and the amount it helps me, I'd totally let that pass, for his videos to get more views.
