Speaking of transitions how can one transition technology stacks? Especially without a step involving "go be a junior dev somewhere for 2 years" . . .

StateOwned posted:I really would love to leave my current company for a variety of reasons - but I keep running into work/life balance issues when researching other places. is 15 PTO days really the standard? I get 21 at my current job along with federal holidays. I'd basically be losing 9 days off a year. Also, there seems to be this expectation that 45 hours is a totally reasonable work week. I might work more than 40 hours 4 times a year. I'm in DC but on the trade association side here -- we get all the federal holidays plus 10 annual leave ( increasing to 15 at 5 years and 20 at 10) plus 2 personal days plus 3+ weeks sick leave though I've heard our benefits are pretty nuts. Slower times hours are closer to 40 but when it gets hot and heavy I'll easily do 60-100 weeks but that is as much me and how I roll than anything in the organization.

Those guys don't bother me so much as the people who are really, really horrible developers but don't realize their poo poo stinks. Typically this is combined with a religious love of particular stacks like PHP.

Good Will Hrunting posted:I have a 1 on 1 with our new engineering manager tomorrow and I'd like to inquire about a raise (I really deserve a promotion but we'll see). I've been at the company 18 months and got a 7% raise or so in February but at this point I've basically become the sole owner of a very large project while contributing to other teams as well and training other less experienced developers. The company is hurting for people with my expertise of our system and business, as well as this new project I've basically started to lead. On top of that, we just lost one of our team leads in May and one of our seniors last week and I've been picking up slack. Personally, I would not hit the new manager with "I need a raise" off the top rope -- he is probably trying to figure out which way is up and who is doing what and that will just mark you a money grubbing whore. It would be reasonable to walk him through what you are doing for these projects and ask if there is any structure for performance reviews and performance raises though.

Same boss for 15 years here. YMMV.

Cryolite posted:What do you guys think of putting down that one is an Eagle Scout on a resume? I would keep it -- it is a hell of an accomplishment. In other news, I have finally made exit velocity. In a few short weeks I'll be sliding over to a different role managing technical operations for our event spaces and trade show rather than doing that job *and* being responsible for our whole public facing infrastructure, software architecture, development practices and a few other things. IT has been real fun but I'm glad I'm getting out -- just hitting a point of diminishing returns for me, especially at this organization. So to summarize you CAN do it.
