Joining as the Worst Member of the Band

There is something positive to be said about joining teams where you are the worst team member. It stretches you and forces you to grow in ways you would not grow, if left alone.

In my career, I’ve been parts of many teams, where the first few days, I could not comprehend what others were talking. I felt completely stupid and small. But the desire to learn and passion to excel soon presented a day when I felt equal with others. The journey would usually not stop there. Soon I would be leading the discussions.

Mostly when I felt that I was leading the discussions, I realized it was time to move on and join another team where I would feel like the worst band member again.

I certainly think there are other ways to progress in your career, but this attitude has certainly helped me.
