You seem exceptionally bright. Most people are not like this. This is why they are struggling.

It sounds like you have a job, right out of college, but you're griping about not getting promoted faster. People generally don't get promoted 9 months into a job.

I'm reading your post and I am genuinely impressed but what you claim to have done. At the same time I am confused about what you would like to achieve within the first year of your professional career. You seem to be doing quite well, even in this challenging environment.

I am in great fear of ending up on the wrong side of the K shaped recovery.

Everyone is telling me I need to be exceptional or unemployed because the middle won't exist in 2 years.

I want to secure the résumé that gives me the highest possibility of retaining emoloyment if there's a sudden AI layoff tomorrow. A fast career trajectory catches HR's eye even if they don't understand the technicals.
