Krishna Ganeriwal, a Meta engineer, emphasizes aligning personal career goals with company priorities, particularly during restructuring like Meta's "year of efficiency." He outlines four strategies that contributed to his significant salary growth, from $200,000 to $500,000 within 18 months. By recognizing and addressing knowledge gaps, Ganeriwal adapted to the shifting company culture emphasizing efficiency while managing costs, and avoiding time-consuming projects not in line with current priorities. His experience underscores the importance of being attuned to corporate developments and adapting personal strategy accordingly.
I tried to align myself with the same idea of efficiency over scaling and growth at all costs, which was the mindset many tech companies had previously.
Reorganizations and layoffs are times of major cost cutting, and it would be swimming against the tide to insist on working on time-consuming or expensive projects.
