Imposter Syndrome?? 4 years at Google. But, did I belong? My first big project got mixed reviews. My first promotion attempt failed. Congratulations and welcome! Year 3 was the most critical year. Dusty not happy I'm working. Months 0-6 - Onboarding. - Trying to learn as much as possible. - Lots of imposter syndrome. Months 6-12 - Delivered my first big project. - Mixed reviews. - Not happy with how it turned out. First time in California! Welcome to Google! Year 2 - Continued building and delivering. - Went up for promo and failed, but dodged layoffs. - Happy for now, but disappointed no promo. One of my first presentations! Scalability: What happens when you go from 1 to 100 concurrent users? Year 3 - Built more and chatted with other engineers. - Listened to feedback and iterated. - Got my promo! Year 3.5 - Starting feeling stuck in my role. - Switched to an AI content team. - Super excited to start making videos and content! Year 4 Way too many food options on this campus - Having fun, learning lots. - Started realizing my content was being built for Google instead of for myself. Year 4.9 The Baristas are so talented. - Made the tough decision to leave and pursue an opportunity where I could build for myself. - Will never forget everything I learned!
