If you're an IC, tell your manager. If you're a manager, start delegating people to go to those meetings. One of my personal challenges was definitely that, as an introvert, once meetings hit a certain percentage of my calendar I'm just perpetually exhausted. It's amazing, I could code all day and then sit down and code for 3 hours at night. I basically just don't run out of energy for that. But talking to people? I like it, but it's like running up a hill for me. More than 4 hours of that in a day and I'm ruined, I can't code or do anything until I find a proper way to reset (which often means, until the next day). I don't think extroverts appreciate what they are asking of introverts when they casually schedule meetings - often thinking it's the most efficient way to exchange about 5 mins worth information in an hour long discussion. |

That is quite impressive and probably better than average for an engineer.
If I have a 1 hour meeting at 1pm, I’ll be fried for the rest of the day. It’s a weakness for sure, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it other than work for companies that have minimal meetings. Companies with established meeting cultures will do anything except reduce the number of meetings you need to attend.
