    Man I’ll tell you, it certainly doesn’t feel like being an immortal wizard with a cool sword.

    It feels like being the foot soldier at the front of the spear line as Orcs are charging at you.

    And the formation is a triangle, and your the tip.

    And I would trust the devs behind me if I had time between everyone I have to talk to .

    I fucking literally went into this career to limit the amount of talking I have to do to people. $150k isn’t worth this level of stress for the remainder of my career.

      Having watched from the outside as other people make this transition, it never looks fun. At least in large organizations, it just looks like a ton of added responsibility without enough additional authority to make meaningful change.

      I remember having a period of time like this when I was enlisted - I was held responsible for the completion of tasks but not given authority to reward or correct the behavior of those in my charge. I would absolutely loathe being in that position again in the civilian world.
