Performance Review Tips
If you are tasked with some project in outdated technology, instead of complaining about it. Start contributing, improving codebase. You are hired to deliver result it can be in latest technology or outdated.
Find ways to improve codebase - it can be migrating to new build process, adding listing or test cases.
You can use this time to improve your breadth of your knowledge. For example - For FE, you can try to understand how backend is interacting with different systems before returning your api call response. For BE, enquire about all the 3rd party libraries used for that api call or anything which peeks your interest.
Documentation - There is no such thing as over documentation, most of the projects I have worked in my 7 years of career, I have never came across well documented project (* few exceptions). Documentation is continuous process.
Let your Colleagues and manager know about your ideas on how to improve coding patterns or build processes or your eagerness to work on certain project.
Try to create wider impact - it can be origination level or team level. If you have idea on improving your or teammates time/life, spend sometime to come up with MVP and demo it to your team.
Follow these tips well before your performance review meeting and you & your manager will have all the good things to talk about.
Hopefully you’ll find these tips useful at your workspace.
