When you're too senior to do the work you love

I got into this field because I loved building things with my own hands. Now I sit in meetings about the things other people build. I sign off, I unblock, I coach, but I haven't done the actual work in two years. Some days I miss it so much it aches.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You climbed high enough that you no longer do the work you loved.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
