As a FAANG Staff engineer, yes my days are full of meetings (with coding breaks in the middle). I view the meetings as a way to solve technical problems beyond one person to solve alone, a way to scale my own impact - not LOC I wrote, but LOC I enabled. Fully agreed though that even as an IC, I feel like a manager, especially in COVID times, when a lot of junior engineers I work with need more TLC from their "leadership".
