For experienced devs, were you put on PIP early in your career? How did you bounce back from it to stay in the industry? in c/experienced_devs@programming.dev

I wasn't PIP'ed but I was fired once early on I was put on projects I really shouldn't have tried my best but it wasn't enough

it hurt a lot at the time but I moved on and almost two decades later i'm now a 'top performer' and have successfully worked on many well known products

my advice is just to keep going in a few years you likely won't even remember this job
