My job description said Software Engineer, but my daily tasks say Scrum Master, Product Manager, and part-time therapist. Ever since our senior dev left, I’ve been structuring sprints and managing stakeholders, all while being expected to hit my regular quota. I’m basically running the team for mid-level pay. Where do you draw the line between growing into a role and being exploited? At what point do you stop over-delivering and just say, that's outside my scope?

this is weirdly common in tech right now. the role you interview for and the role you end up doing are almost never the same thing. the real problem is nobody renegotiates the title or comp when the scope quietly triples.

This happened to me. with training folk & being the go to even for stuff I knew nothing about because they knew I would spend time working it out. Its the good old saga of do a task once & then it becomes yours forever! I ended up burnt out had zero recognition from management they didn't want to hear it & had no idea what was going on in the squads. Make a note of the extra things you do & a couple of examples & then raise it with your manager nothing is worth your health & its funny how this overload manifests itself into illness as well as feeling totally put on plus those extra areas you mention were once individual roles so you should be getting 3 damn salaries!
