You're too kind, Kunal. Thank you for your kind words.
It's been great working with Raviraj and him helping me relive some of these memories and without his help, the experience wouldn't have been this vivid.
Thanks for sharing your journey! 👏🏼 It's important to me the point about "find what makes more impact in your organization"; this is not always easy to find out!
You're absolutely right, finding what's needed at the organization right now can be tricky. My learning here was speak to a lot of people, not just within the org, but get a perspective from outside as well. Outside can be other parts of the company.
Great story about how "Becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable" helps to grow! Congrats Akash for the highest rankings and such growth in very short time!
Thanks for sharing, I am curious why such high impact engineer would leave to another company?, I want to know what /why is the appropriate time to leave the current role and move on. Will wait for the follow up article on that.
That's an excellent question, Prashanth. I've an upcoming article on this topic, "Why I left Google after getting the highest rating and promotion".
There were a lot of factors that went into making this decision, I loved it there at Google, and I always felt valued. I'll tell the same thing I told my VP (Chrome VP) before leaving, "I want to experience other cultures outside Google, before settling down with one".
In short, I felt too comfortable, always having answers. And of course, AI played a big role in my move as well.
Just WOW!! Today, I practically came to know what making an impact really means!!
HATS OFF!!
