Jesse’s Answer

There is a great response already to this question. I'll just add that I faced a challenge determining what I wanted to do next. Opportunities presented themselves to help me with this; however, I often thought about what skills I needed to get to achieve success in my current role and what skills were necessary to get the next role. Keep a learning mindset! Take advantage of the resources that you have to continue growing!
