Ask HN: Mindsets that help focusing on growth and self-challenge at work?

from the ask-hn dept.

I've been working in a FAANG for several years and coasting is pretty easy, but now looking back made me realize I haven't been learning and growing as much as I would like.

What mindsets do you use?

I like to be as self-sufficient as possible. This means I get experience in multiple technologies and exposure to various processes in the company. This gives me growth as a general technologist. This tends to impact my career though since I don't get to focus on any one thing. Grows your knowledge, but not your career.
