I was in a few startups, but stopped moving around and climbed the org chart with the last acquisition. Kept myself up to date, so I’m pretty comfortable on modern stack infra and backend (avoid front end churn). Agile is everywhere, we work in two week sprints here. But take a more sanguine view towards the metrics, it’s not the end of the world if something slips. I’d love to avoid meetings, my current role leans 70% meetings in my calendar. But I just seem to accumulate architecture, process and delivery responsibilities in whatever team I go into, which is annoying because I love nothing more than head down coding, but I can’t stand things being done the “wrong way” (a.k.a over engineering or under engineering, wrong debt being taken on at the wrong time, etc). And this means meetings and lots of communication.
