Many things to learn, excited to get myself out of my comfort zone again!\n-   Lots of mistakes, lots of lessons!\n\n## Six Takeaways out of These Two Years\n\n### Share My Goals Openly.\n\nI may have a clear set of career goals, but that all does not matter if my manager or my peers don't know about them. I found it useful to be open and ask for help and coaching from others. **\"If nobody knows what I want, they won’t be able to help\"**. It helps me a lot to write down my goals as OKRs or similar formats.\n\n### I Am No Longer Afraid To Talk About Hard Things.\n\nI used to be scared about talking about things that we could improve or that simply I wasn’t comfortable with. Nowadays, I’m very open and upfront about all that. I find the right mechanisms to push changes and action items so we can keep improving team dynamics, and I continue to improve as a leader and Individual contributor.\n\n### Documents Are The Best Way to Collaborate Remotely and Push Big Projects.\n\n![Documents Are The Best Way to Collaborate Remotely and Push Big Projects.](https://ferreirov3.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/undraw_online_collaboration_7pfp%20%281%29.png)\n\nI used to opt for informal 1:1s or technical video calls. More recently, I have started to rely more on asynchronous communication when kicking off new projects or functionalities. It turns out to be an effective way to **get 360° feedback, involve everybody**, and make sure that we make the best decisions we can as a team.\n\n### Investing Time in Onboarding New Engineers Pays Off.\n\nI’ve onboarded three engineers that joined my team, either directly or in a supporting role. I wrote an onboarding document that my team has kept expanding and iterating on. These days we focus on pair programming and on helping the person be a successful engineer in our team and at Eventbrite.\n\n### Learning to Adapt my Communication Style is a Must.\n\nI feel very comfortable talking with other developers. The challenge is how to adapt my style when talking with the product manager, designer, or even my manager. I pay attention to identifying what motivates each role to learn what type of information they want from me.\n\n> Pay attention to identifying what motivates each role to learn what type of information they want from you\n\n### Jira or It Doesn’t Exist.\n\nMore recently I’ve been actively working on the backlog for the frontend team: refining requirements, prioritization and technical breakdown. The longer I dedicate to “project management” tasks, the clearer the goals and action items we have as a team. I believe that having a healthy backlog is a shared responsibility of the product manager and the rest of the team.\n\n### Your Turn! What Have You Learned Since You Joined your Current Company?\n\nI shared the lessons I learned, and now I'd love to read your own lesson learned in your current company.
