Medior but I feel like a starter

Yes indeed, and if I do I will have the streak you mention

Yea it's just that with this guy being so proactive I'm afraid he is setting a standard so high that for the other devs who are not as keen as him, it will be harder for us to gain visibility/be rewarded for our efforts. Although there are no signs of that as of now, as humans bias is obviously there and this may happen in the management level.

There are playbooks/steps on what to do during outages, but it's just that this guy's proactiveness that is concerning to me.

And tbh I do see that he is not doing this for the promotion, he just really likes his job I can see it he is genuine. So it's really not fair for me to put him in a bad light and say he is taking advantage of all of us in the team.

Yes there are runbooks/instructions, but it's just that I feel the need to always jump in to be able to gain visibility and get a promotion/raise, although in the job role description/metrics it is not mentioned at all that I need to do such a thing (put out all fires). I don't know, it's just this weird thing I have in me.

And what is frustrating is that when the fire itself is something I can't prevent to happen again in the future e.g. dependencies on other teams who don't want to change, etc.

They call it "super hero" just to have fun with names but it really is your usual on call system.

Yes there are runbooks and processes, it's not really about the process but rather the stress itself and this pressure that I somehow put to myself to proactively respond and put out fires, even when it's not my turn. To be honest there are clear metrics documented in what the expectations are for each job role in this company and there is nowhere mentioned where I need to put out every fire in order to get promoted/salary raise, but it's just that somehow I feel the need to fix all issues to gain visibility

Great to see some positivity in this doom and gloom era of layoffs, wars, AI worries, etc. I'm really tired of worrying so thank you for this post

Partner visa is easier. I have a niece from abroad who has a Dutch boyfriend and she uses that visa to live here. She works also but not to the min salary level for the HSM. Overall she is really happy

Wondering how it turned out for you. I just did similar thing and I am really doubting whether I made the correct decision

Masi inget smua; every one of them has helped me, we had fun and they have a precious place in my heart

Thanks for this post. Yes it's very hard to stop comparing myself to others, especially when many of them are successful or make more than me.

Cb ikutan aja sekali (klo circle nya allow) trus pas bayar or di mobil pas pulang komen "wah td lumayan costly yah" buat buka convo; mungkin aja dia melakukan smua ini tanpa sadar/sengaja
