When I accepted what I thought to be my dream job in early 2022, I had visions of making a real difference for a company that had made a real difference in my life. And today — about 18 months and many, many many managers and updates to that job later — I spent nearly an entire day chasing down product license renewals, updating budgets, and figuring out how I’m going to make sense of yet another reorg and a team that continues to grow despite me still technically being classified as an individual contributor. And, honestly, through it all, I felt a bit worthless.
