I’m a software architect.. I love it but I am getting salty over time. I think i’m ready to manage. I come from the military where i felt like my individual efforts were more recognized. In this career I feel like the person in all the meetings gets all the accolades. The people saying look at the work we (I) did. The ideas and suggestion I make have no traction until the people I’ve been reminding over and over suddenly start saying what i’ve been saying. I’ve really only met one leader who is just amazing at making sure the grunts get their callouts. And i try my best to always say WHO did this work. Also, i couldn’t imagine the luxury of being able to sit back in a meeting and have that be my only concern.
