Ask HN: Is it bad that I don’t want to be a senior engineer?
4 by throwawaytable | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Work at a Fortune 500, I’m a senior engineer who is expected to be a tech lead for my team and work on cross functional projects. I’m burned out, I don’t want to be responsible for architectural decisions. I don’t want to write TDDs. I just want to be given tickets and run with them. I miss those days. I just need to relax a bit in a role with less responsibility. Has anyone ever felt this way before? What did you do about it? Am I wrong to feel this way?
