Always help to look at your paycheck to remind yourself.
Don’t get complacent, go on interviews often, just so you’re not out of the game. Seek out new technologies and dabble when you are bored.

There is never a dull moment at Tesla. I used to work at Intel and Samsung previously and what I did was this : try working on projects other than the ones assigned to you. And pick projects which are from a different vertical. I did some business analytics while working as a Hardware Design Engineer.
Bob. Is that you?
Looked at my bank account.

👆This. Did some time at a startup - worst time in my career. Much enjoy the quiet and peaceful (though boring) life at Oracle. Health has improved, get to work from wherever I want, whenever I want, and spend much more time with the family.
My goal is to automate myself out of my job. That way I can do something new. Rinse. Repeat.
a robot can do any of our jobs no one is safe
Every day. I overcome it by planning my next move, either within G to a better team or to another team at a different company. Coffee helps.
Fucking love coffee
