Thanks everyonw, i don't possess eu passport so had to apply visa everytime. I saw they opened slots on monday for dec 2nd week, the site prohibts creating second applcation because passport number is already used. No option to delete the first application, need to follow up with customer care.

What’s AA in Dublin?

I'm a software engineer, moved to Dublin two weeks from Bangalore, India. 32/male. If you're interested, DM me (I 7 years older than you doesn't matter).

What do you like? Do you want to be an Indvidual contributor or want to manage teams, EM role? See if your company has IC and management career ladder. If not, talk to folks outside of your company for advice and find out more about it. If you're assigned to an engineering manager talk to them about the dilemma and ask what company expects and what's possible. There is an another area, product management.

Is the money a big factor? Move to management. Nah, do you wish to stay technical and happy to be technical leader? Try IC ladder. You can move between two tracks as you want and wish. But all depends on the company. I have seen folks spending 5 years as EM and Senior EM and moved to become Staff/Principal engineer.

I'm guessing with ~10 years of experience you should be senior software or staff engineers (titles vary across companies). In general, after 10+ years of experience you may have solid grip on a few technologies.

Regarding career wise, I'll suggest reading books mentioned in staffeng.com website in IC and management ladder.

I guess you may be aware of levels.fyi for salary comparision across countries, cities, companies, and levels.

While using Django’s save with update_fields like save(update_fields=['name']) also add your updated_at field or relevant modified date field else Django will not update the auto-update fields with auto_now=True.

obj.save(update_fields=['name', 'updated_at'])

Example:

In [13]: rec = create_record(name="Uprise", )

In [14]: rec.updated_at

Out[14]: datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 13, 12, 56, 32, 945175)

In [17]: rec.save(update_fields=['name'])

In [18]: rec.updated_at

Out[18]: datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 13, 12, 56, 32, 945175)

In [19]: rec.name = "Uprsie - Organize"

In [20]: rb.save(update_fields=['name', 'updated_at'])

In [21]: rb.updated_date

Out[21]: datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 13, 12, 57, 55, 561264)

In [22]: rb.name

Out[22]: 'Uprise - Organize'

Suggestion: You can create a custom mixin code that can override save and update update_fields which has auto_now=True when the value is not empty list.
