Sounds like you hit the lottery with that one startup and got promoted to a level far above your competence. Common problem. Truly senior people and true startup people do not struggle to find projects and contribute PRs. Find a job at an appropriately junior level at a real company. (FAANG will downlevel you appropriately.) Learn some real skills then try the startup thing again in a few years if you want.
- burnoutgal 5y agoI wasn't a director or anything, I've hovered around senior/staff engineer depending on the company. Still an IC role where I expected some help onboarding and picking a first project.
- faangiq 5y agoYea senior/staff engineers don’t have trouble with that.
