Being confident in my capabilities while not allowing people to go apeshit with wild expectations. As well as letting my job get away with not giving me my proper title. I’m self taught with help from a mentor. It’s been tough but I have learned a ton. I was making websites with my mentor for a solid year before I finally got a jr. title, which I didn’t get until they left in June. No pay raise, not waiting for someone else to go, just a title change. So now my mentor is gone and I am building everything on my own. So far so good, I’ve been very surprised with myself. I’ve met all deadlines with the work that was promised. Our designer left - I started out as a graphic designer. So now I’m being tasked with designing a new site and building it. That’s fine. Because of this, I’m also tasked with editing images or building graphics for other projects. Then my boss wanted “cool animations” on the site. so now I’m teaching myself WebGL and leveraging the OGL library to get them what they want. It’s working out but shit am I tired. I still have a jr. position. All in all, my team is great and I really do like them. I’m not being vocal and I should be. Though sometimes it does feel that even when I am vocal, I get the “well just see what you can do” answer followed by disappointment if I can’t go above and beyond. Ugh.
