They are not competing goals.
All companies have to show progress.
Apple can afford to show finished products because it has multiple product lines. At any given time, at least one product line is shipping a finished version.
Meta, on the other hand, won't be shipping a finished product for their pitch ("Meta"-verse) anytime soon. So they have to be content with work-in-progress.
Do you have plans to scale up your operation? Or maybe you can recommend other immigration lawyers? You can charge referral fees while you scale up your process.
Higher the velocity, the larger the arc required.
While doing 6, apply to other jobs too like IT admin, customer service agent, bookkeeping, virtual assistant, secretary, exec assistant, and anything and everything else.
This is a game if numbers, apply to as many as possible as fast as possible. Kee doing this everyday, every week till you get it. Be creative, exhaustive, and bold at each step.
Are you telling them to reduce scope or working with them to take some of the work away? Try the latter, ensure they have ownership over the reduction and that the reduction is not prescribed.
>> Daily 1:1 10 minute meetings with each seemed to be a burden on a everyone and didn't lead to productive conversations. * Creating a rigid structure for the daily standup (Usually a ~5 minute meeting) but people seem to indicate everything is fine until 3-4 days before the end of the sprint.
In the standups, you may need to probe to understand what they actually accomplished and whether they are on track to finish the sprint.
I went from working at a large company to writing software for a startup and had the unlearn a lot of these concepts. Since you don't care for these concepts anyways, you'll probably be a better prototype engineer than I ever was. Also, look at related fields that require scientific programming using tools such as matlab as they also (mostly) focus more on getting the solution working rather than how it works.
This is the most pragmatic way I've found to learn and stay in touch.
