Engineers have no shortage of places to spend their time, or even places to spend their careers. In an ideal world, it would be clear what your company values, in reality it isn't. Rather than lament, working on understanding how you can work in the areas that you both like and is recognized as valuable is a worthwhile effort.

In this episode, I'll cover at an extremely high level how company executives look at things, so that you can do your best work AND be rewarded for it.

We'll go through what a company needs, why messages don't cascade down cleanly, how to get a pure signal about what is valuable and look at examples.

The goal of this episode is to raise your profile, and your career by working on things that will be valued.

It's an important topic, and definitely worth the 15-20 minute listen.
