Do you not have a senior developer at your company you can pair with as a mentor? This should be someone who you can look to for not just software skills, but career management skills.
- giantg2 6y agoI'm intermediate and have filled the role of senior dev and tech lead in the past (unofficially). My problem is that tech was a dead end (Neoxam and FileNet). Now I'm stuck learning/relearning multiple languages (python, java) and stacks (ECS, lambda, Dynamo, S3, etc). I've been on this team for 6 months and have never used the same tech twice. For me, that makes it very hard to become an expert when there's no chance to use the same tech again - I need some repetition. I want to get to the point where I don't have to think about the stack or the semantics/features of the language and just focus on crearing a great solution. That's never going to happen here. I also lack the drive anymore. I've been screwed over, passed over, and had my prior positions outsourced to contractors. I feel like why should I try hard if the company is just going to throw me away again.
