Senior Engineering Manager. CS grad. Data, storage, cloud. 20+ years at the same company.
She came to me looking for a new role.
Four interviews before we met. Two failed. Two she never showed up for.
She thought she needed motivation. A goals doc. A practice plan.
I gave her both. She didn’t show up.
It wasn’t a failure of willpower. It was a systems error.
And it got worse.
By July, she wasn’t even a manager anymore.
By October, she was L6 at Google.
I wrote about what happened in between.
