I’m a 3.5 YOE backend dev (C#, Python, Azure). But my team keeps pushing me to act like a lead/architect—making me design solution architectures, present to clients, manage user stories, and even handle DevOps pipeline communication. Seniors aren’t stepping up, and I’m stressed being treated like the front-line face. Is this normal for mid-level devs, or just bad management?
