"destined" may be a better word than "doomed" in this case :)

I have a similar feeling, I like doing low level work but I also mentoring junior engineers, hopefully that mentoring will multiply my overall output over time!

Hah, yeah, mental note to reframe as "destined".

I also really like the mentorship angle. It's really cool to watch someone grow, and how fast they do when given stuff that's just outside their current capability level.
