How to Set Low Expectations at Your Two Remote Jobs

That makes sense. I am just moderately experienced run of the mill worker dev. At every company I have been with, there have been meetings between team lead/senior dev and product manager and then there are 4-10 other devs just chilling while they have this conversation.

Or the even bigger architecture convos involving several team leads and all their subordinates chilling in the Zoom. Have had too many fellow devs joke about how half our value is as a visual entourage.

Could someone be in two visual entourages at once? Probably.

That sucks! I'm sure you're aware, but the wasted resources are insane.

Absolutely. The GP scenario is a prime example of a meeting that should be an email, or, really, more like a wiki page.

I can see how a lot of it would be theoretically valuable if people had 5 year careers at companies, but that is not what happens.

You are a very old hat at two years everywhere I have worked.

I am in Canada, and we don’t really get equity like Americans do, and even if we do, not a lot of it so many people have 1 year stints everywhere.
