>The older and more jaded I get, the more I realize this is just not true. The most important metric is the meetings and visibility, for a larger org.
Well we can divide it in 4 ways:
- the "sales engineer" (not a literal sales enginer, but one who wants to sell themself) wants to maximize visibility.
- the startup engieer wants to pitch just enough, but mostly wants to ship
- the craftman engineer (or the researcher) wants to get things done "right"
- the blue collar engineer wants to check off tickets.
Your metrics of success will vary, and some engineers are more punished in some spaces than others.you'll need different skills to navigate depending on your environment
