It's truly uplifting to hear that you're finding fulfillment in the ability to select projects that genuinely interest you and that you have the autonomy to choose what you work on. We believe this freedom is key to innovation and personal investment. We also recognize the challenges you've highlighted regarding managing a team with less experience. Developing and mentoring junior talent is a vital part of our growth, and we understand that it can sometimes be demanding on more seasoned professionals. We're consistently evaluating how we can better support our managers and team leads through enhanced training programs and resource allocation to ensure this mentorship role is rewarding, not overwhelming. Thank you for providing such balanced and constructive feedback. Your perspective helps us refine how we support both individual growth and team development.
