Today after a meeting my manager want to chat with me. We have a relatively long conversation.

He thinks I’m doing a good job on product design, but my domain knowledge can be improved. We are a DeFi project, but I don’t know enough of technical or financial stuff, which might make other colleagues in the meeting not worship me enough to respect my suggestions.

Hello? I understand I’m not an expert, but before becoming a designer, I was a frontend developer, I might not know enough of blockchain technology like how exactly it works for merge or sharding, I do know the fundamental. I admit I didn’t study finance, but if you don’t respect someone’s suggestions just because of the position, wouldn’t you end up only respect the C level?

I started to think it’s not because of that.

In the meeting I gave some suggestions about our product roadmap, agreed on some of others’s idea and also disagreed on some. While I thought I’m being political neutral, maybe by accident I stepped on someone’s toes.

There are a lot for me to learn.
