What to share what not to share in performance review feedback?
So I'm a developer, say for example working with a specific language like C#. Over the year I worked on enhancing my skills in C# and also dabbled over to look into other domains like AI/ML. What all should I mention in my performance review feedback? Is it wise to show that I went beyond my job requirements and learnt about new and upcoming domains where the product is currently not focused on? I also did some side projects and built some Android apps for fun. Does it make sense to add them too, to indicates that I'm not restricted to just one language or framework. Any suggestions what should/can go and what should not?

Things to include in your performance review
- How did you work towards your goals . Now this assumes you had planned the goals upfront with your manager at the start of the year . If the goals weren’t defined and agreed this section should be skipped .
- Big projects you worked on and the impact they have created . Don’t include small details but big projects only
- How did you work on your competencies (skills like c#) defined for your role . Again this assumes you worked together with your manager in defining competencies . If not this section can be skipped
At the end of the day highlight your efforts and the outcome they have delivered for the team/company . Identify what really matters for your role is crucial to not only work hard too work in the right direction and priority.
