That's life. The higher you go, the more crap you have to eat so those who deal with executing can execute without distractions. If you don't want to eat crap, you have to stay at a lower level (team lead/distinguished engineer/r&d labs)
On the other hand, being that high should indeed get you ownership and control, if you don't have it question your relationship with the CEO/rest of the company. You should own and be responsible for all the technical stuff, that is the upside of eating all the crap you can eat.
On a related note, if you are a good coder, you can and should schedule some time to do pair programming with the team to stay on top of things and actually write some code. But only as long as you are more of a help than a hindrance.
- PedroBatista 10y agoSo.. about that non-eating crap low level job, any open position for me? :)
- jjuel 10y agoExactly. As they say, crap travels downhill.
- koide 10y agoDepends on your skillset, but indeed we are hiring devs for our Madrid office. We are not ready for remote yet. We pride ourselves, among other things, in eating all the crap at the top. Required Skills: C#. Caveat: We want people that like learning new technologies, as we do use some other tech stacks other than .NET's. We will train you if you don't know it yet, as long as you are interested and capable.
- klibertp 10y agoCould you help me relocate? Inside EU. I don't know C# very well, but I worked with F# and also learned about some 110 other languages (https://klibert.pl/articles/programming_langs.html https://klibert.pl/articles/programming_langs.html) and never considered stopping to learn new ones. (Mostly just testing if it's really that easy ;-))
