The industry has changed immensely. What used to be 5 year software engineering careers in one company has changed to 1.5-w years.
Some of it is because of employers undervaluing existing employees. Some of it is because technology is changing too fast, so compensation is higher elsewhere.
But mostly, it is because of layers and layers and layers of management that stunt engineers with BS OKRs and performance ratings.
Literally none of the tech management is driving new products, better services, better ideas and yet, they control employees. They steer entire teams into crises. Why would anyone have confidence in them?
In a battlefield, would soldiers have more confidence in commanders who understand the battlefield or would they have more confidence in "pseudo-leaders" who say BS and use performance ratings to fire people?
