Career Advice About Grab

A new CTO was assigned in our organisation. If I get the chance to have a sync, what are the things I can and should discuss about ?

I am in a platform team that has had many senior-level folks since the start. There are many great things already present for our team's productivity like: Automated CI pipelines. ( Deployment is manual - via button clicks though ) Local validation scripts for linting, code generation, testing. Slack bots for sending reminders for PRs. Detailed runbooks for On-Calls Good amount of monitoring stats and alerts. I am the junior-most in my team and want to target for a Senior Engineer role. One way of approaching this is by trying to improve the life of my fellow teammates. But I do not know what I should be adding. Because I do not know what more would be needed. I know this may be a flawed way of thinking. I think it's better if I just keep on doing tiny improvements every day. But in terms of impact, I feel adding some tools / taking initiative here will help. I want to know what can I add to the team's arsenal which can also help me in my journey to Senior Level.

For example: If an organisation does not value quality code but no. of features shipped, I feel it would eventually face difficulty in adding new features. Thoughts?

If your organisation is not promoting you, what can be the possible reasons? Does it make sense for one to join another organisation at a higher level or is it a recipe for failure?
