This environment sounds like a case of no accountability and negligence. If a intern can make this type of decision without review and accountability, what other decisions are being made under the same environment of no review and accountability within the company?

Seek to understand from the ones that promoted you what expectations they have of you and from the new role.

Saw your post earlier today and it left me wondering on how to help. Then I came across this tonight, thought it might be helpful in some roundabout way. https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurashin/2013/05/22/7-steps-to...

(edited) I went on to discover this article, I found the comments just as interesting. https://lifehacker.com/steve-martins-advice-for-building-a-c...

I would share the following principles to apply to your career (from my martial arts studies):

Be Honest.

Be Humble.

Respect self and others.

Practice diligently.

Seek perfection of character.

And would also share the following quote from Hiroshi Saito (CEO of Chateraise) which I came across later in life and thought it helps to change your perspective:

Everything outside of me has something to teach me.

Discovered it by accident. I'm not into the religion but I discovered meditation by listening to the talks recorded by an American Buddhist monk. You'll need to distill it but the knowledge is in there and the workings and mechanics of the mind is described in such detail that I have never heard about it anywhere. https://www.dhammatalks.org/mp3_collections_index.html

45 here. Two in college, two teenagers and my wife is back in school. I've managed software teams in the past and have done my share of coding but today, I work from home and code for a living which I truly enjoy but would definitely entertain the opportunity to have my hands in more things. I think the biggest things I have discovered in my 40s is a refocus on my physical and emotional health especially by discovering meditation - at this point I feel that meditation has had the biggest impact so far. I also try not to overreact to things in my life and to try to enjoy the moments more and try to be supportive of my wife and kids as much as I can. As far as professional development, try to do side projects that scratch an itch and allow you to develop skills you wouldn't normally be able to develop at a day job. Try to stay up-to-date in industry and attend conferences when you can, they are great for the exposure to what's going on in industry but its also nice to meet other professionals, network and get out of the office.
