I liked your tips, some of them I have already picked up, but others I don't think I have heard so eloquently stated. Especially your story about the past 6 years, telling the truth in two diverse ways carries significant differences, one sounds like success, other like "meh". That was big, thanks!
I am going through a bit of a redesign of my career trajectory. I am in my mid-forties, a degree in CS that I have hardly touched, and have been an individual contributor my entire IT career. Currently a sales engineer at a very lucrative software company. I feel like I am ready for leadership, not climbing a technical ladder. And your writing, I certainly hope, is going to help me. Or it's just reading and understanding that I need to be my own cheerleader, and take charge of my own career, not expect others to do it for me.
Thanks again!
