20-25% OF PEOPLE IN TECHNOLOGY HAVE CHANGED JOBS IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS
Lots of people are taking new jobs, and right now the industry is paying a premium for talent. So how can you stand out in your new role or company? How can you make an immediate difference?
HOW CAN YOU STAND OUT IN YOUR NEW ROLE OR NEW COMPANY
- Keep in mind that most managers don’t expect you to make big contributions for 3-6 months (sometimes longer) as they realize there is always a learning curve.
- But everyone is watching what you do to make a judgment of “are they a good fit?”.
- Find out what’s important to your boss. Understand the things that they are measured on.
- Identify an area that is either broken or needs improvement. And try to fix it.
- Read as much as you can (read the docs!), and try to be valuable in your group and somewhere else in the company.

SHOW NOTES:

- theCUBE (homepage)
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. We’ve known each other for a while, but tell folks about your background.
Topic 2 - Let’s talk about this term that you’ve been using at SiliconAngle, “SuperCloud”. You introduced it at AWS re:Invent 2021. Give us some context about what you think is new and what has changed?
Topic 3 - The three major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) now have 100s of services, but we’re seeing success from these companies built on top of them. Do you think the cloud providers have misjudged the importance of innovation vs. integration?
Topic 4 - We now have a decade of knowledge in how to build technology on top of the public cloud (architectures, economics, partnership models, etc.). Do you think we’ll see an acceleration of these Supercloud services, and maybe even some unique new capabilities?
Topic 5 - You highlighted that this isn’t just IT-centric services, but also industry-vertical services. We’ve seen SaaS services try and disrupt some vertical industries (FinSvcs, Health, Streaming Media, etc.). How do you see the industry-verticals accelerating with supercloud architectures?
Topic 6 - Do you think that supercloud becomes the new normal for cloud providers, or do you think they double-down on trying to build their application portfolios?

- Hashicorp Cloud Platform (homepage)
Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. We’re always excited to have women leaders on the show. Tell us a little bit about your background and your focus areas at Hashicorp. Congrats on the UGA National Championship.
Topic 2 - Let’s talk about the Hashicorp Cloud Platform. We’ve covered Hashicorp software for years. How did HCP come about, and how has it changed how Hashicorp thinks about what you’re building (software vs. cloud services)?
Topic 3 - To create a cloud service out of an existing Hashicorp product (e.g. Terraform or Vault), does it just require creating an SRE team to run it, or do you have to rethink how the technologies are built and operated?
Topic 4 - How have Hashicorp customers adapted to consuming cloud services vs. running the software themselves? Sometimes the cloud services have to be more restrictive to deliver SLAs.
Topic 5 - Are you able to do anything unique in the cloud(s) that you couldn’t do as software products? Does multi-cloud provide any unique opportunities?
Topic 6 - Are you finding any new ways to interact with your communities now that Hashicorp is offering cloud services?
