The “Anti-Hustle High Achiever” Mindset | Product Design Manager @Discord, Tobi Bisiriyu

from Joy of Missing Out (JOMO)

My old Discord work bestie just got promoted *twice* in one year and I needed to know how he did it without losing himself in the process. Tobi Bisiriyu is a Product Design Manager at Discord and he's one of those rare people who is genuinely great at his job, actually likes it, and still makes work the least interesting thing about him. He cosplays, he goes to anime conventions, he walks one hour every day without exception, and he has a philosophy about life that I think more people in tech need to hear.In this ep, we talk about:→ Why looking competent is actually what's holding junior designers back→ the "contract you write for yourself" and how to know if you're breaching it→ why middle management is actually a "death" trap→ say yes to the scary thing...before you talk yourself out of it.→ being greedy "with integrity" and why it's good to want it all→ and why getting a four in life matters more than getting one at workThis episode is for anyone who is good at their job but wonders if there's a version of success that doesn't require you to give everything else up. Tobi is one of the most intentional people I've ever worked with and somehow he got even more thoughtful since we last worked together.→ Find Tobi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tobibisiriyuSubmit your Coworker Confessions 👇https://bit.ly/coworker-confessionsIf you like what you hear please follow, rate 5 stars on Spotify and Apple Podcasts ⭐️ and leave a comment! 🫶 It's free~𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙇𝙎 🌸instagram → https://www.instagram.com/chloe.shih/OD instagram → https://www.instagram.com/officedrama.pod/tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@chloeshihthreads → https://www.threads.net/@chloe.shihlinkedin → https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-shih/patreon → https://patreon.com/OfficeDrama✹ business inquiries: [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
