Or maybe you are building more features than two years ago, which is reflecting positively on other KPIs.
You were building one house (feature) per year. After finishing the house you found a few issues (bugs). You get your plumber, electrician..etc to fix each issue.
After two years, you start building 10 houses per year. When you finish, you find twice or x times as many issues (bugs) as before. Does that mean your workrate and productivity declined or that things are going downwards?
I'm not saying AI is the joker and solving everything. I think there is a bigger picture to consider whether AI is having a good or no impact on the company you are working for. Did you release more features than before, what about MRR, CSAT,..etc?
I speak 4 languages fluently. Here is what helped:
1- Speak slowly. Don't rush it
2- Its fine to formulate what you want to say in your mind before saying it. take your time.
3- Use a phone and record yourself speaking about different subject. Practice, practice and practice.
4- Some audiences are harder than others. French people for example tend to nitpick and want you to be really fluent. While most english speakers are fine with your speaking, but it depends on the audience and who you are speaking to.
5- You obviously need to immerse yourself in the language you want to speak. Tv-shows, Movies, News and even tabloid. The latter is actuallt good to understand jokes, innuendos and other subtle conversations.
One thing I also noted, is that if you follow/watch people who are not native speakers, they actually tend to explain things/concepts better. Because they are limited in words and have limited scope compared to native speaker. Anyone remarked this?
Make your manager's manager look good. Because only then you would be able to go up the food chain (assuming that is the goal. your manager may become your competitor/peer in this case).
Are you by any chance applying to european jobs while residing in canada?
This is a big no no. At the least you should have an address in the country you are applying for and a local phone number.
Applying with a CV from Canada with canadian details would probably eliminate you from the process early on. I say this as someone who was trying to work in the UK while living in Germany. The minute I changed address/phone things started to look better.
You may even mention this on your CV sayong that you are looking to move or already moved to that country.
