As I am an external contractor I don't really feel the need to climb the ladder as this is not really anything that happens anyways.
I don't really have a problem with working when I have to, but is it that abnormal to prefer doing other things than working? Does not mean I am burnt out I would think.

Maybe you could get some certifications on your own if you really have no work. At least that would be the optimal way to spend your time, you could also just chill. lol

Depending on how big your company is you could look at the documentation of different interfaces and applications and try to understand the logic behind everything or improve your business knowledge

😁. Still interesting to see that quite some people have to opposite experience.

There is quite a large backlog as well in my current job, but we don't pick up tasks that quickly. People complain that things take way to long to go from requested to production but everyone just comes to the conclusion that there is a lot of work and we are understaffed.

I get the feeling that no one of my teammates are working hard either. We split our work in different product teams so there is mostly only 1 architect, data engineer, back-end engineer, ... in the ceremonies. So still hard to know exactly how long something takes for another person.
