> But I'd suggest that your career might be improved by being more willing to take on harder challenges and grow as an engineer. Indeed. That's what I have done (I do infra stuff + product features). I don't like it, but I do it. > As my old boss said, you're not paid to do only the easy stuff. You're paid to do the hard stuff too. This intrinsically states "product features == easy", "infra struff == hard". While I think that certain topics related to infrastructure are hard, certain topics related to product feature are hard as well. What I think your boss wanted to say is "I don't want to pay an extra paycheck to an infra engineer. So, I'll pay you 20% more so you do the infra stuff instead. And you get to 'grow as an engineer'. It's a win-win!".
