MORE DETAILS ABOUT EPISODE

I emphasize the importance of building relationships, setting up regular meetings with managers, and having informal meetings with team members. I also discuss the significance of creating a personal development plan (PDP) with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives. I encourage seeking out mentors and not putting too much pressure on oneself to achieve something amazing in the early stages of a career.
