Career development tips from the People Group
You’re invited to open an MR on this page and add your best tips and recommendations for career development at GitLab and on the People team!
- “I set a 2 hour time block recurring every Friday on my calendar for professional development. I usually spent this time updating my IGP or working on a LinkedIn Learning course. If I have a Friday off, I usually shorted the time block to 1 hour and move it to Thursday of that week - this way, I still prioritize learning even on short weeks!” Samantha Lee, L&D
