I'm lead to believe doing more of something will help make you be better at it. Hope they gave you a mentor to guide you in managing projects.

I'm in the same boat as a:
Mobile developer - requirements engineer - webdesigner - tester - techwriter

Can update linkedin on the daily but MEH

@theKarlisK I spotted that trend too! Hopefully I'll someday get a manager in code, that way I can always enhance said code to better suit my needs 😆🤭

@F1973 Each scenario has multiple branches...we can look at what we want to see or we can try to see further. I just like to do both.

@F1973 I guess at the end it's just going to be...whatever floats our boat. :)

I won't immediately call it optimism, just one part of the scenario. Highlighting one scenario doesn't mean the others don't exist. My "optimism" has its limits as well.

@F1973

The "optimism" is not meant to downplay the OP or set a "good" theme. Pft!

Swear away!
Rant away!
Go berserk!

I'm cool 😎🙃

Hey man, if they're paying you then you're managing projects well enough.

@iamai

I honestly don't think I can do it, I couldn't even organise my own weekend holidays without setting my house on fire and any kind of management just puts me in a state of panic.

@msdsk then tell your manager. You don't have to do things you don't want. :)

Hmmmmmmmm ........

@iamai you obviously don't know my manager

@karma yeah depends on the manager. Not sure of it's possible for you but could also consider another team or workplace.

Haha, same! So lost :D

@iamai I quite seriosuly do

@msdsk yeah, if you really have to do it then just mind your health. ranting really helps :)

I am in same situation 😓

@msdsk I totally understand this feeling, I struggle with prioritizing so much!

It’s like I’m trying to organize & prioritize but EVERYTHING seems important!

How do you decide where to begin?

What goes after that?

So—if everything is important then I just end up overwhelmed and can’t really move forward.

It’s a pile of garbage struggling like this. 😞

@EDragon

Oh yes, there is absolutely no pressure in working on 3 projects at the same time with having an external client directly on my ass to release tomorrow and my manager adding me other stuff. I'm fine, I'm absolutely fine.
