Are you given near-total autonomy in choosing what you work on? Can you tell your boss “That’s an interesting idea but my time would be better spent elsewhere” (and not get fired on the spot)? You’re a Problem Finder.I decided to step down from Management to Staff Engineer to be able to help the team world wide. I think I don’t realize it yet but I’m switching fully to this “Problem Finder” mindset :
- My manager understand that I can help by having enough time talking to people, finding pain points and prevent issue to happen before they actually hurt the company
