While this is intended for PMs, I found the advice quite helpful and I think the principles apply more broadly.

““It sounds like you picked a vanity metric and then just built what your boss told you to even though it was a bad idea.”

I was kind of terrified to give my friend this feedback, but I had told him I’d help him with a mock interview. Luckily he reacted well: “Woah that’s what it sounded like? That’s not what happened at all,” and he went on to explain more of what happened, how he’d taken initiative, and why his decisions were actually good. I was relieved. But also concerned. I’m not sure he would have gotten hired with the first version.”
