I just came back from a 4 day break mostly offline, venturing in the IRL world, feeling inspired by actual humans and real conversations. And now apparently I'm in a bit of an oversharing mood. My career origin story starts from the product side - R&D and managing technical teams. Stereotypical “not technical enough” PM who transitioned into DevRel. I always had a chip on my shoulder and insecurity around that. Eventually I pivoted into operations, stakeholder/investor management, relationship-maxxing roles. The competent, un-intimidating “personality hire.” The one who can talk to literally anyone about a product or idea, help them understand and feel heard, and make alignment happen. But then everyone went feral for marketing and social media attention metrics. And I became "not marketing enough" for a world creaming for content and personal brands. Like why do you want me to stream and make video content? Is there no other way but to submit to the attention industrial complex? So yeah. Spent years feeling not technical enough. Then pivoted and now feeling not content-y enough. Lol Needing to get hired but not quite understanding where I belong anymore Chat, I might be cooked.
