And no one sounds to be senior software engineer as per this mentioned scenario, because 99% don't lift team up, however they used to lift team down because there are many skillful trainable capable people but this such scenario is also a serious concern which needs to be addressed and resolved #help #support #officelife #jobhunt

7 signs you're growing as a software engineer: 1. You land code for problems the same day as you discuss them 2. You become the "go-to" person for your area 3. You influence other engineers for higher implementation quality 4. You've developed a track record of completing larger and larger projects 5. You proactively suggest improvements or find opportunities 6. You're able to drive tasks across teams 7. You explain complex topics simply What are some other signs I missed?

As an early senior software engineer, life was a bit simpler… 👇🏼 I had one core project I was assigned to. My main job was to plan it, architect it well, and deliver it on time for our customers. As I grew into a Senior+ engineer, and Tech Lead, things became a lot more challenging. I had 3-4 projects I was giving technical guidance on – so I couldn’t just go heads down on one priority. I spent 6-7 months of feeling like I was going crazy before I started to get the hang of it. 😅 If you’ve been a senior on multiple projects, a tech lead for a team, or a staff engineer working cross-functionally, you’ve felt this craziness. Here’s what I’m learning… you can’t wish it all away… But there is a path forward that helps you cut through some of the craziness. I’ll share 3 things I’ve learned in my newsletter article this week. Subscribers get the scoop tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/e8d5ymr3

Curious about breaking into tech? In this video I share the most difficult things I have dealt with being both a junior developer and software engineer.

Software engineers don't need just the culture and work that stays with them even on holidays. They need more - 1. Autonomy over their work. 2. Flexibility to create better softwares. 3. Right guidance to upskill themselves and not upskill like a task. 4. Skills other than their job to help them get better with people, process and systems. 5. Job satisfaction and in turn more freedom. If you can provide these, you are in the top companies a software engineer would love to work with. ========================================= ♻ Repost with your network if you enjoyed this. 🔔 Follow Rohan Girdhani for more such insights in the future.

Junior software engineer : "There is a hot bug. I'll have to check how this feature works. I am not sure what the solution is" Senior software engineer : "There is a hot bug. I know this is how it exactly works in class XYZ. This is what the fix to the problem should be" For junior software engineers, it is crucial you build subject matter expertise and deep understanding of how things work exactly and not just at the surface level. You become the point of contact when things aren't working right or where there is an issue. That is also when you can propose and implement bigger and newer changes, because you fully understand how it works today. #softwareengineering

I like this, let's take it further: Finally made it to Senior Dev and wondering how to skill up? Look outside yourself, as many opportunities reside within your team. Finally made it to Engineering Manager and wondering how to skill up? Look outside your team, as many opportunities reside within those you work with. Finally made it to HoE/ED/CTO and wondering how to skill up? Look outside those you work with, as many opportunities reside within adjacent disciplines. This final tier is about understanding the measures of value that folks with roles unlike yours are optimising for, and you finding ways to take them seriously as part of your role.
