What's your expectation here? That you'll grow your career by coasting?
Becoming senior requires hard work and dedication.
> And it's harmfully perpetuating the idea that you're expected to do so when you're not paid for the labour.
What are you talking about? Seniors earn 2-5x the amount as a junior developer.
- vundercind 3y agoDoing the job you’re paid to for the amount of time you’re paid to isn’t fucking coasting. Coasting is what shitty PMs and managers do when their plans will only work if their peons are dumb enough to give them free labor.
- lopkeny12ko 3y agoTo each their own, but this is in fundamental disagreement with how career ladders work. If you do the bare minimum to get by, you meet expectations. If you want to grow your career, by necessity and definition, you need to go above and beyond in order to exceed expectations, and this requires hard work. Companies like Google, Facebook, et al. have defined dexpectations in place that juniors must grow into a senior role in N years. If you don't, you'll be fired for underperformance. So yes, if you're a junior, "just doing the job" is coasting.
- sojournerc 3y agoWorking the 40 hours you're paid for is not the "bare minimum". That's the most a company should ask of you without additional comp. You can go above and beyond in 40 hours. Quality, intelligent work does not require overtime. Hustle culture is simply wrong here. Luckily I could not care less about working at faang or whatever the fuck they're called these days.
