Senior Software Engineer

* ~2 hours of 1-1s with mentors/mentees/manager (manager is weekly, others are biweekly)

* 1 hour team operations meeting

* 2 hour company-wide operations meeting that I don't have to buy enjoy attending

* 1 hour sprint planning every other week

* 1 hour demos every other week

* Another 4-10 hours worth of ad-hoc meetings throughout the week

So somewhere around 10-15 hours worth of meetings, but all of the pre-planned meetings are either very early in the day or very late in the day. The worst weeks are when the ad-hoc meetings go way over 10 hours (several design cycles lining up or several emergent emergencies that need attention), but otherwise I really enjoy it.
