I love personality tests, I just think they’re so fun, even with a grain of salt. Cheering you on as you carve your next steps 💗

Yes!! All of this! What is it about a personality test that draws me in? I need to know myself, to over-analyze, to be seen, to maybe be understood.

Never niche down! The right people will find you and see themselves in you.

Have you worked in more small places, or big places? I've found the smaller the team, the more my spiky tech skill set, my desire to understand *the whole picture*, my love to riff and build on ideas and make connections across the business... the more it's valued and the more fun it is. I don't like to stay in my lane 🫣

Thank you Rebecca!! I will always love a personality test.

I’ve worked at more small places, but have been at companies at all stages starting and seed through post-IPO! Agreed with the ability to switch lanes a bit more on those smaller teams!

Same! INTJ, Enneagram 3, Manifesting Generator, I can rattle them off.

I'm on a fairly small team now, and yet - I think I want to get back to super small. Like 5 people. I dream of five experts, all peers, with deep respect and collaboration. Pretty sure it doesn't exist 🤣

“What if I stop trying to be hireable and instead focus on all of the things I know I am good at?”

I approve of this approach. The things you’re good at are the reason you are hireable!
