@retoor that is also the one I wanna focus on and am thinking of it like a *treat*
-
@retoor my company lets you have the senior title only if you practically stop doing dev work and start doing people management and meetings all day.

@Lensflare I have had some meetings where I have been told being a senior dev I need to step a bit away from dev work, and focus on the bigger picture as being more of a solution architect and having my hands in multiple things at once
I still focus half my day on active dev stuff because I simply cannot let it go, it's where I derive work satisfaction from the most - the other half is problem solving and meetings -
@Lensflare I happen to have a very similar approach for the position of a 'lead'.

@retoor Your small company sounds like my 1st job at a small, startup gamedev company.
Pay was abysmal && often !on time, projects were uninspiring, but the team was tops.
Met many great people there.
Became best friends w/ one of them - we keep in touch to this day, even though we'd both left that company in different directions career && geographically-wise.
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
What no one told me was, as a senior resource how much context switching I need to do.
It's not even 12pm and I have been in 5 meetings, about 4 different projects
-- streaming platform but blockchain (Node, Golang) > planning + deployment issues meeting
-- goodreads but lighter > frontend approvals and ideas
-- custom node module development in C++ for internal db > debugging
-- SD card ETL tool > estimations and planning
