Not an engineer, but I find this translates well over to design. Seniority in a lot of ways feels like the acknowledgement of being able to utilize people/soft skills in order to build things. I find at least 1/3 to 1/2 of my time, a roadblock in the project is caused by accidental miscommunication from top down, and the faster you can debug those, the happier everyone will be. Personally I rather enjoy that hybrid of people and "hard" design, but it's definitely not for everyone. |

I love this! It can feel frustrating to need to use these skills to exert influence: I sometimes feel disempowered by not having the full resources to throw around that I want.
But that doesn’t really limit my ability to do the work. I’ve just had to cultivate a different skill set. Persuasion, not coercion
