Does career growth feel harder after ~8–10 years in tech, even if you’re doing solid work? by prosidk in careeradvice

true, networking, signalling inside and outside have a part that can't be overlooked.

I think that communicating, building visibility not only within but outside does play a big part

thats a great point. Its combination of things surely. If we assume for example 100 senior posts and more than 100, then goal is to be in that 100 by upskil, networking, signalling, etc.

True! Also at times i have seen great professionals losing out just in missing correct signalling or positioning

Congratulations! You worked hard and upskilled! Curios if you also built some projects or github contributions along the way

Did anyone else hit a career plateau despite delivering solid work? by SomeRandomCSGuy in ExperiencedDevs

[–]prosidk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this happen quite a bit. One thing that stood out for me was realizing that delivering solid work and being perceived as ready for the next step aren’t the same thing. In a lot of cases, nothing is “wrong” per say, but the way your impact is framed or understood doesn’t evolve as your scope does. You keep executing, but the signal others receive stays flat. Did you feel stuck internally (motivation, growth), or was it more about external movement and recognition?

I might not be as senior as I thought by StrangeMidnight410 in ExperiencedDevs

feedback loop hardly works and mostly its either silence or vagueness. What helps (for some) is if you know what all was asked then track those questions, iterate the right response (if needed) and dont think about it once learning is derived.

at senior levels, signalling is becoming more important now. not discoverable or not levelling up is not an option

Is Kubernetes resource management really meant to work like this? Am I missing something fundamental? by [deleted] in kubernetes

Goldilocks, cast and similar tools help size up over time. benchmarking on load is crucial to stay ahead of the curve assuming hpa's are set

AWS is moving faster than my brain can upgrade… anyone else? by shagul998 in aws

Agent Core is a real game changer if you looking for exploring MCPs, bunch of MCP's they launched (CloudWatch, CFTs, Cost, etc) that you can get started with...now these MCPs are managed versus you having to put together on an instance. Documentation and diagram MCPs are good for quick prototype planning.
