How much work do you do in your day to day ?

I don’t think I’m necessarily over worked. I don’t work overtime (not approved or funded at the moment). I’m a senior developer, so I’m involved in architectural decisions, I’m expected to work on any part of the system, I write test plans and update design documents.

I take part in planning work, as we all do with agile an I usually provide guidance for that work.

I mentor and help other people, offer advice to them as well as to my manager when he asks. I’m basically given freedom to keep an eye on everything and help out or guide. I also investigate issues and communicate with the clients when required.

I’m not involved in devops, we have someone for that. Our software is installable in individual machines, but not deployable on cloud infrastructure. I’d that makes sense. We don’t have users or profiles in the normal sense; we don’t develop a web based system. We don’t do server management or application hosting.

I think I’m paid fairly well and I get a decent vacation allowance and benefits. I have no idea what the industry standard is.

Does that answer your questions?

‘He’s lied about everything’: Iran war puts Trump on shaky ground with young MAGA men

So the war is the straw that broke the camel’s back? Not that he’s a rapist or a convicted felon? Not that he let Musk destroy the government? Or that ICE is running rampant kidnapping and killing Americans and people of other nationalities? Or that he illegally sunk foreign boats in international waters? Or that he is trying undermine the constitution they hold so dear? Or that he raised the cost of living? Or he killed a million Americans by pretending Covid wasn’t real and told people to try stupid things?
