What if I’ve been thinking about my career all wrong up until this point? How can that even be possible? I consider myself to be making the turn. Heading into the back nine of this adventure. Does that mean that I’ve wasted the first 9 holes of my technology career? These are heavy questions to explore but ones that I needed to address as I grabbed that metaphorical snack and made my way to the 10th tee. I realized this one important thing. My career isn’t defined by how high up the technology ladder I climb, but by the story I tell through the canvas I’m painting. I believe that this notion of climbing the technology ladder isn’t the only way to measure success.
