One interesting takeaway I gained from a leadership training at work is to practice self-management before learning management skills. It’s a mix of practices and habits, like planning, creating systems, regulating emotions, etc. to stay on track and overcome challenges. I think it’s a game-changer but sounds intimidating, too. I’m curious about how others, especially the managers here, do self-management. Please share!

Here are some helpful tips for those looking for a career in video and film production. Build a strong reel showcasing your best work. Network at film festivals and industry events. Master both technical skills and storytelling. Start with smaller projects to gain experience. Stay current with new technology and trends. Collaborate well—relationships matter as much as talent. Be persistent but professional. What's been your biggest challenge breaking into video production?

Several of my senior designers want to move into leadership roles, but we don't have management openings anytime soon. I'm worried about losing talent while wanting to support their growth. Has anyone navigated this challenge successfully? What alternative leadership opportunities, project roles, career progressions or mentorship programs have worked to keep senior designers engaged without traditional management positions?

Curious—have any of you ever made a big jump in your career? Like going from marketing to UX, or from finance to HR? I’d love to hear how others navigated it. What helped you break into a new field? Did you take courses, build a portfolio, or just… jump in?

A question about job mobility: how many years should you work in one role before getting promoted or looking for a more senior job somewhere else? I've been in the same job for two years and I feel like I'm not learning anything new. There doesn't seem to be anything for me in my current workplace. Does it look bad if you 'job hop' due to lack of opportunities?

Anyone have any good book recommendations on Career Development? So far I've enjoyed reading Culture Map, Unreasonable Hospitality and How to Win Friends. I have a few on the to read pile but always open to new suggestions!

Mid-career stall. I'm a senior developer, IC5 mostly C++, working in a tech co. Where can I go from here? Is management the only way up?
