Which video web conferencing tool do you prefer for collaborative work?

    We're on Teams, but still use Zoom for all our meetings. I like it a lot more than Teams' version, so I'm glad management decided to keep it. I don't think there's anything special about it; it's just what I'm accustomed to at this point.

    Zoom seems clunky but it does have more features.

    I like Zoom, the whiteboard feature, now that I know how to use it, has been great. Also sharing screen isn't a hassle. Worked with somebody on google meets before, and did not like it. However I do get biased to the programs I use more. Get so used to everything in one something else is a hassle to learn the slight differences.

What’s something that seemed critically important early in your career but matters much less to you now? For me, being the smartest person in the room has become a lot less important than being part of a strong team.

If you were given one extra hour each workday that had to be spent on professional development, how would you use it? I’d probably split it between learning new tools and studying how other industries solve similar problems. How would you invest that time?

A senior engineer on my team is leaving, and our manager sent a link for a farewell gift card. She mentored me when I was a junior, so I want to chip in, but I can't see what others are giving and have never done this before. She makes great money if that matters. The default options are $20, $30, and $50. What's standard here? Is $30 enough, or should I go higher since she helped me so much?

I've been stuck in a pure maintenance cycle for six months, and I'm starting to feel like a script-runner instead of an engineer. I'm trying to move into a senior-level job, and I worry about stagnating, but I'm not sure what to do. Is this a common issue with engineers who hope to level up?

What’s one thing that new employees often underestimate when starting a new job? In my experience, it’s how long it takes to learn the informal processes and relationships that actually make things happen. The technical side is often easier to pick up than the organizational side. What do you think?
