I also recently realized that about visibility. My team lead will tell me, I need to be visible in the team and our business unit, at the very least to help my team lead get feedback that I’m doing a good job.

But the thing is, I’m visible towards other companies. Those might be very interested in hiring me. Which is suddenly the opposite of what my team lead wants…
