Im in your shoes. I don’t see any exit except building my own company one day which will work by my rules and where people like you are welcome to earn as much money as the contribution they make irrelevant of titles and frequency of meetings in their calendars. And treated like people and professionals, not like cattle contributing to statistics and KPIs. There’s is just no corporate ladder called “improving performance and produced software quality” these days - you either senior, or you grow to managing people and bureaucracy one way or another. And from a company’s perspective all seniors are more or less the same, like cows of the same age in the farm. This is not your problem, this is the status quo faang cargo cult problem.
