#6: Jason Mesut on Online Mistakes and Designer Shapes

Author: Progression December 6, 2018 Duration: 44:31
This week I'm on the pod with Jason Mesut, designer and mapper of design skills. We get into both his work over the last decade in mapping the shapes of designer across multiple companies, balancing family and being a designer, and being vulnerable online (and making mistakes in public). As we know each other a bit, we glossed over some of the details of what we were talking about, so there's a list of useful links below to help you out.

Figuring out a path forward in a tech career often feels like navigating without a map. We excel at crafting elegant systems for users, yet applying that same structured thinking to our own professional growth is surprisingly difficult. The Progression Podcast exists in that space, exploring the very human, often messy process of building a fulfilling career in technology. Rather than offering simplistic advice, we sit down with regular contributors and seasoned guests to unpack the real challenges-like the tension between managing people and staying hands-on with technical work, or the gap between the skills we have and the tools we wish our managers possessed. Conversations delve into practicalities, from understanding compensation and effective training to evaluating whether a new role is truly the right fit. This isn't about quick fixes; it's a candid look at the deliberate craft of career design, offering perspectives and stories that help you make more informed decisions about your own journey. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that move beyond the code to focus on the person writing it.
