Most of my team is contractors (all of them except me on one team I’m on and there’s me and one new hire that are not on my other team) and my work has been diminished to purely prod support and bug fixes. I really want to grow and max my potential as a dev and just want someone to be able to talk to

I need advice. I moved into product management under a year ago to a series a b2b startup. The first few months went well, but the last 5 have been chaotic.

What does it even mean now to work “in tech”. I feel like people are over romanticizing the “in tech” part to mean working any job in a tech company or the IT department of a company, when I think it should be more towards people in product, design, engineering, and maybe corporate strategy, etc. I’m not trying to gatekeep anyone, but I feel like this is problematic because it bleeds into stuff like “the prestige working in FAANG” but one is in a non-tech role or lower requirement role.
