How the fuck does one get out of junior dev status? I’m at like 3.5 YoE and stuck in it.
These days you’re lucky to be able to work as a dev at all. To get out of junior dev you needed to get into the industry 5 years sooner.
So…I’m fucked? Lovely…
Pretty much. I’d try to get into a different field if you can.
I’m likely going to commit suicide. With the way life’s been going, I may actually end it all tomorrow.
You have to create technical debt specific to your skillset
Lmao. I’m in charge of migrating a C codebase to Rust, so I don’t think I’ll be lacking in that department.
Now just go to work and casually say " I’m feeling very senior today" .
That doesn’t sound very junior dev to me.
Lmao they foisted it onto me because I’m the only one who knows a semblance of Rust.
