Just last week I pseudocoded a recursive approach to a problem for the team. The non recursive method was bulky and risky for bugs. You never want to stop coding. It is some of the most fun I have. Don't think that becoming a manager means you move away from being a technically competent leader. I respect the coders on my teams as the critical resources doing the tough work that they are.

Iโ€™m learning to code and it is very fun. I canโ€™t see why you would stop as you became more senior. Being able to solve a small problem for the client goes a long way for your reputation as someone who is there and really is will to do whatever it takes

I donโ€™t code but I know how to read code and have shocked the dev team a few times by pointing out the exact line of code causing issues during testing and / or suggesting ways to make it more efficient.

I find it helps me get objects turned around quicker given the language barrier thatโ€™s sometimes there with myself and team in India. They may not understand a functional requirement completely but they definitely understand when I tell them what to do in the code directly.

I stopped writing code when I became M2. Helped me a lot to focus on sales and client management. Partner put me on fats track and I became SM in another 2 years. Total 3years from M to SM which is not common in D

D2 - for your project???. I've been doing it on the side as hobby...So am very comfortable with it.

D2 are you okay? The reason why I want to get out of development is to avoid debugging all this shit

Are you kidding man? Open up an ide. Watch some variables. I am in heaven. Go deal with the politics between a CIO and CEO. That is the waste in my day.

You know what. After 10 years or more in management tell me if you don't miss fixing the odd bug or two. Something real. Something that is simply done and checked off.

I jump in and code for my team when needed

I love to code but try to avoid it at work to a kid getting pigeon holed into a specific tech. I do get to review tons of code and love the look on the client's senior dev faces when I point out obvious flaws in their logic flow or memory leaks.

Yesterday was my first appraisal. I was welcomed and told that I am not eligible for promotion. But then again it was acknowledged that the work that I do is great. The offered me a hike of 21% after 1year 2 months of work experience. I was initially hired at 6 lpa. I did not rebut and accepted it. What are the things I could have asked? Should I have negotiated more? What are the things that I can focus on in the next appraisal cycle? Want to know the thoughts of the experienced professionals.

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, weโ€™ve had 2 paychecks since then and I havenโ€™t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but Iโ€™m getting frustrated.

Heโ€™s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and Iโ€™m worried I wonโ€™t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?
