Rushed into tech lead role without proper support

I was promoted to Senior last year, but quickly became the tech lead on a high-visibility project without adequate support or guidance

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had been more prepared for the responsibilities that came with the role"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with your manager about your concerns and ask for the support you need to succeed"
