Career Damage Tolerance framework - in my own words
I was resisting inertia by casually applying for internal jobs (despite having no desire to change) and by upskilling and building new connections at a pace that didn't match the rate of change around me. In 2024, there were two areas I wasn't paying enough attention to: company instability and my reluctance to test myself against the market. I only identified them after the event. So this year, I created a framework to spot these issues earlier - for myself, the people I work with and those quietly following.
In 2024 I did not follow the motto "it takes all the running in the world to stay where you are". And the fail-safe protocol failed.
To be fair, at some point I had to make a hard choice whether to keep pushing or focus on my health (and recovery from an accident that knocked me out for 5 weeks). Even then I was doing a cyber security training in between general anesthetics and surgeries; mango sorbet - that kind nurses were giving to me after I was back to my room from operation theatre - was helping to keep me awake to study 😊
The slow boil of "I'm fine" was the line I lived in 2024. Looking back, I wish I developed the Career Damage Tolerance framework before I needed it.
